One morning Minlie Dean awoke in
a strange room. She was frightened at
first, Then she remembered being car-
ried, half -awake, from the truin iu

But thence was only a row of loll (rich

there. What a disappointment 1
"Oh, Weil !" said \lintie. "It's over
behind the houses somewhere."
"Mother," she saint, after breakfast,
'mayn't we go (ilii now and hunt the

"Not this morning," said neither. "I
shall be unpacking, and you children
would get lost if you went alone. But

"Oh, y'es'm ! We'll not 1" cried \lintie
and the boys, with ono voice.
Tile street was a euiet one, between
two busy avenues, but to the small
country children it seemed wildly ex-
citing. Poppy counted twenty teams
passing in no time, and Presently they
heard a burst of music.
"There's a band cortin'," cried Mettle.
"Let's go and see it," said Poppy,
boldly, running down the pavement.
"Oh, don't run !" said \lintie, in a
h'rrifieel voice. "This is the city !''
So with a very dignified air they
walked down to the corner, but there
was no band in sight. Thee was only
a wonderful hand organ on\vheels, with
two dark, jolly -faced mien to push it
along end turn the crank. 'lite children
folio wed the organ to the avenue, and
stood there, watching and listening un-
til 1t was out of sight. Then they turned
and strolled slowly buck.
"Which is our house?" said efintie.
"Ito 1 I can pick it out in a minute,"
said Poppy. "There were lions on the
steps."
ilut, dear ale, there were six houses
that ltad liens 011 the steps. The chil-
dren looked at each other, with grow -
Ing terror.
I wants my mother," said Peepy, with
quivering lips.
"Peepy Dean," • said Mettle, sternly,
although her own voice trembled, "don't

The three forlorn but proud little
;souls marched drearily up: and down the
wide pavement. The street that had
seemed so gay was full of hid..en terrors
now, and presently Meanie sawn sight
that shook even her breve heart.

TATTOOING AND ITS PRICE.
N Involves Terrible Torture et the
Body.
In Samoa tattooing is applied to the
whole body from the hips to the knees,
covering the skin so contrletely with
the pattern °hut al a little distance the
person looks as though he were wearing
ornamented tights, says the Chicago
Daily News. The operation, which re-
quires much lime and many "sittings;'
is quite ceremonious. The talteoer,
called the metni, is a man of consider- 1
able influence, and Ills services are en-
gaged by a prepreyntent of several runts,
oe perhaps n clines. "Combs" are used,
and nLso a little mallet. The comh.s are
unite of human bones, about an inch
or less in width, resembling little hone
adzes with lhr edges cut with a number 1
of teeth. These blades are attached to
handles about six inches long. The pig-
ment is made front the ashes of the
cocoanut. The person to be tattooed
lies on his face, resting his head in the
lap of his sister or some other female
relative, who, with other young women
assisting, sings loudly to drown his
groans, as it would injure his record for
courage to be heard giving vent to de-
pressions of pain. Instances have oc-
eurred, however, when young braves
huvo lost all self-control, being entirely
overcome with the agony- of the opera-
tion, and have been despised as cow-
ards for the rest of their lives. The
o{.eralot•, having traced out his pattern,
commences to drive the toothed "comb"
.through the skin with his mallet by
sharp end need taps. The assistants
aro ready with strips of while "massi"
io clean off the blood as it lbws from
the wounds.
A remarkable case of tattooing came
to light in Professor Ilebra's lecture -
room to a hospital in Vienna thirty
yeat•s ago. The elan was the subject of
it lecture, and one of the spectators at
first mistook him for a bronze statue.
He was tattooed from head to foot, and
not a qu1111er of a square inch of itis
entire person was intact. Tho skin pre-
sented an appearance resembling the
irne_ery of en exceedingly rich cashmere
shawl. The coeloring was done with in-
digo principally, with enough red in-
serted here end there to give it an effect.
His name , was George C,onstanline, a
Greek by birth, who, with a band of
robbers, entered Chinese 'Dietary to
