The street was a quiet one, between

honed a burst of music.

"Which. is our House?" said Mlntie.

13M, dear me, there were six houses
that had (ions on the steps. The chil-

"There comes a policeman," she wllis-

She had never seen a peliaemnn, but
she had seen Many pictures of them,
.and knew that they always wore blue

"If he ands were lost he'll take ve to
the police -station. That's what they al-
ways do with lost children," she said,
"Hello, children I" said the policeman.
"Where did you come from?"
Too terrified to speak, Mtintie pointed

finger.

looking tip at the sky, ,with a grin.
"Come ell the way down last night?"

At that Auntie found her voice.

A remarkable case of tattooing came
to light in Professor 1•Iebra's lecture -
room in a hospital in Vienna thirty
years ago. The man was the subject of
it lecture, and one of the spectators at
first mistook hint for a bronze statue.
He was tattooed from head to foot, and
not a quarter of a square incl) of his
entire person was intact. The skin pre-
sented an appearance resembling the
tracery of an exceedingly rich cashmere
shawl. The tethering was done with in-
digo principally, with enough red in-
serted here and there to give it nn effect.
His name 1V05 George Constantine, a
Greek by birth, who, with a band of
robbers, entered Chinese Tarlary to
commit depredations. The gang was
captured, and this man, with the others,
was ordered by the ruler to be branded
in this manner, On the palms of his
hands letters were tattooed which ex-
plained that he was "(he greatest ras-
cal and thief in the world." It took
three months to tattoo him, the indigo
being pricked into the skin. The de-
signs represented elephants, lions, tigers
and birds, with letters worked in be-
tween. A couple of dragoons orna-
mented his forehead. He said his
body swelled up very much at the timer
and ever since had been sensitive to
changes in the weather.
