LIFE'S IRONIES.
Chapter of Accidents Showing It Is
tho Unexpected That Happens.
From tho London Mull.
Tho vicissitudes which beset man
kind nru Bometlmes sttango beyond
the wildest night of Imnglnatlon, and
hardly a day passes without the world
being afforded examples of the Itonlcs
of fate. 1
At Deventcr, Holland, In the prov
ince of Ovorysell. thete dwells Dr. Cox,
a literary man, who recently brought
out a pamphlet ndvocatlng complete
equality between men nnd women. His
house has Just been broken into and
the burglars woio traced and arrested,
they turned out to bo two young git is
Lord Delamero recently returned
from big game hunting In Africa,
where ho wont through halrlventh
escapes without a scratch. Quite late
ly, how over, fate turned Its attention
toward him. While his lordshln was
out hunting his hoise, In an endeavor !
to Jump a fence, stumbled and threw
the rider, Injuring his back and nock.
Was It not tho height of Irony that
his loidshlp should face all -the dan
geis nnd terrors ot wild llfo In the
bush, nnd then get huit In tho piosalc
manner hero chonlcled.
It reminds one of a certain genet nl,
a few years back, who had Just been
through a severe campaign free from
harm. Tho thlid day after his return
to London he was about to cross the
stieet when ho missed his footing ns
ho stepped from tho pavement, slipped
and broke his leg, tho climax being
that ho died.
The nccldent to the Scotch express
some time back nffoided a good speci
men of tho little lionles of llfo. A
young lady, hastening homeward by
the express to the funeral of hot fath
er, was herself one of tho killed In tho
tinln smush. So that, instead ot be
ing a mourner of her parent, she be
oamo nn occupant of tho samo tomb
at the samo time.
In the museum nt Capetown Is shown
nn old-fashioned, high-backed wooden
chair, In connection with It there Is
a weird stoiy It Is related that tho
chair is tho 0110 In which tho Dutch
Governor do Nooide wus found sit
ting dead a few moments after execu
tion of a soldier whom he had sen
tenced to be hanged, and who on his
doom being pionouncod sohnenly
called up his condemnoi to accompany
him to "tho throne of tho Supioino
Jud;o "
Sir Hobeit Meade, late colonial per
manent iinder-.seeretury, hns matrled
twice, and both wives died suddenly.
Then Sir Hobeit fell and luoko one of
his legs while getting Into an omnibus
in Whitehall.
Ills daughter nut sod him bark to
n incisure of stiongth, and then ho re
signed his otllclnl post, which wns al
most Immediately followed by the
death of his daughter. This wns the
last di op In his cup of allllctlon nnd
ho himself died shoitly afterwaid.
Not long since a stowaway was found
dead under tho main hatch of one of
the National Lino steameis. He had
concealed himself befoto tho steatnei
loft Llvetpool and was suffocated 111
the dend boy's pocket was found a
boy's story, entitled "Doomed on the
Deep "
A RAN ON TATTOOING.
An Attempt to Stop This Decorntlvo
Industry in French Oceanica.
Prom the London Tdoisplt
Although the Hthioplan ennnot
change his kln, nor tho leopaid his
hpots, the South Sea Islandoi can ob
viouslj be made to desist from his tat
tooing This, we learn, is the foi
mldable ptoject to which the govoinoi
of Fiench Oceanica has committed
himself on the giound of public healih
and moials. Henceforth tattooets and
tattooed are to be subjected to a Leo
.tanging fiom one pound to foi t - a
consldeiablo latitude of piinlshmen'.
which, no doubt. Is Intended to ch
lespond with the conipleNlty and a.
tlstlc elaboration of mat kings on th"
skin of the offending islanders Tliov
may also bo sont to prison for a pel Ml
not exceeding fourteen iluvs, whl. 11
makes them about equal In the i ale
of Iniquity to th" wayward scoundrel
nearer home who, without provocation,
Jumps with his hobnailed boots on hl-J
piostiate wife.
No doubt the governor of Fiench
Oceunlca is animated bv the most
ptnlseuoithy motives In his crusade
against tattooing, nlthough wo ate not
quite sine that ho has not embatked
upon It with a light lien it He ap
peals to think that the piaetlco Is In
hsiloal to public health, In whloh ooln
lon some few may bo found to ngieo
with him. but when he sa It is not
conducive to public moials thoio aio
many who will ventute to dissent.
Hvon so solemn a papet as the .I0111
liiil dos Debats iciuaik.s that If the
goveinot s orders aio can led out it
will depilvo the natives of the milv
costume which they wete evoi accus
tomed to wear, and that sntelv will
not help the cau'e of ethics. Hlthei.
then, tattooing Is In Itself lintuoial a
hard doetilne. nnd one which wo in -llev
to bo subseislvo of the aitlstli
Instincts nnd capacities of a line
though scantllv clad nice or else the
goveinoi, In the spit It of the estiin
able ladj who w anted to send out
moral pocket liandkeichlefs to zenan
as, desires to onfoice clothing on the
naked by tobblng them of their oidln
ary Integument.
When Pilnco Vnitlgen was described
ns having on u "painted vest" whlilt
his grandslto had wono fiom "a naked
I'lct," the picture piesented to the
mind was, lu tho famous est.,is on
"Hulls," explained as one of "laugh
able confusion." Hut what aio wo to
stt of the linpioved and cultured
South Soa Islander, shhoilng In tho
cold, clear light of tho hlghoi morality,
without tho piotectlon of his beloved
and comfoi table stripes and mm kings"
Ills mental condition will Indeed be
confused, but only laughnble, let us
say to tho Debats. It Is one of the
saddest lessons of llfo that even the
Inhabitants of Krone h Oceanica has to
Use on stepping stones of his painted
self to higher and baier things.
