probable that the sailors iu their

pen tluit tin- custom is most near-

a ship in the navy but has some bluo-
jicket a' M nl who is an artist with
tie tatt.H.in;' needle. It is said that
tie Chun -.. lire the most expert at this
queer tunic and their designs are
often arti tie-that is artistic in .the
sen'eof tlic dragon and snake sule of
trtpeen1 .11 to Japan and China.
The oiutit ol a tattooing artist con-
lists of a few needle points stuck in

of steel comb a few sticks of India
jnk.geiicr.i'ly black blue and red. and

frst dipping the needle points into tho
color to be used. The operation is not
particularly painful no nunc s( than
picking a sharp needle through thu
skin which if anyone tries to do with
Mibeiation he will Hud not particu-

tecomes sore to an extent depending
ipon the sio of the design and tho
place tattooed but it generally com
pletely heals within ten days and tho
iMjjii in colors is indelibly incorpo-
rated into the skin. There is no known
mejns of removing it after it is unco
on except to remove theskin tattooed
thich would of couive leave a severe
tear.
On board a man-of-war in the early
morning after reveille the men all
over the decks take oil' their clothing
and sva-.ii themselves and it is then
tlat I liae found the best opportunity
tonotici the queer designs in tattooing

designs aiv rich in variety as well as
execution Here for instance is a
puiletl old tar with mossy breast

ten times too big for proper propor-
tions. Another has on his breast a
picture which his fond imagination
paints into the glorious fight in Mobile
lay with Farragut and tho Hartford
in the foreground and cannon bellow-
red clouds of fire all around. Tho
oM jackcv points with pride to it and
tells an admiring crowd of young ap-
prentice boys who stand around of

Lost Opportunities.
"Opportunity has nil her hair on her forehead when she Ins passed
you cannot call her back. She has v.o tuft whereby you can lay
hold o" her for she is bald 011 the back part of her head and never
returns "
FRANCISCO RABELAIS one of the great creative minds
of the world as long ago as the Fourteenth Century thus gave voice
to a truth which has gone thundering down the ages ever since.
The moral which ho sought to eonvoy was that opportunitioH
must be taken alvantige of 3b tliuy proseut thoniaclvos othorwiHO they
are loet to us forever; und his utterance is as true todty as it was uon-
turiea ago and applies with just tn much foreo.
