The farmer will do well to heed

Japan’s Tattoo Master.
The master of the tattooing art in
Japan is Cbyo, who can produce such
pictures on the human ekln as are
the envy of all rivals. He has photo
graphs of all his more important
works, most of the originals having
b«-en produced on the cuticle of Eng
lish and American travelers. Two of
the most remarkable are a huge dra
gon In three colors, covering an Amer
lean doctor's back entirely, while an
other is a life sire fly which was put
on an Englishman's wrist so naturally

Turopean J!y Jitau.
A French teacher of boxing points
out that an art of self defense approx
imately equivalent to Jiu JItsu was
known In Europe In the seventeenth
century. It* principle* are expounded
in a work by one Nicholas Peter* pub
lished at Amsterdam in 1674 and bear
ing the lengthy explanatory title:
"The art of wreatling and bow one
can protect oneself In all kinds of
quarrels that may occur; how one can
agility and rapidity repel all unfair
with science." The work is illustrat*
ed. The author apparently anticipat
ed many of the characteristic grips of
the Japanese exponents of today.
