A traveler says of them: 'The men grow great beards, of which they^re excessively proud, and their bodies are thickly covered with hair, almost like members of the monkey tribe. The women grow no hair on their faces, but seem to find a solace for this imaginary defect in tattooing mustaches on their lips and often primitive designs on their hands and arms and also across their foreheads. Young unmarried women have very little tattooing on them, but once a woman is married her husband seems to take a pride in> ( decorating his bride with repre*- . sentations of hirsute adornmentThe modus operandi is one whicb requires considerable fortitude om < the nart of the rwtient. since the n crudest form of tattooing is adopted. This consists &t making a number of incisions in the skin with the ^ point of a knife. A characteristic j of the Ainu race is the color of tkeii r ?kiD, which is of tt deep bronze or f copper color, and ?o> nowise resem- ( bles anr other of the oriental races, but is more like that of the Ameri- c ?an Indians. r "The Ainus have xw records, writ- p ten or otherwise, of their former e history noc of how an J whence they ?ame "to inhabit the island of Vezo. Legends, however, among .certain of the Ainus to the effect that ^ manv years ago Ye/.o was inliabited by a race of diminutive people who prere conquered and apparently ex- j ^ terminated by the Aim?. These j t people were called Iw the Ainus . Koro-pok-kuru, or pit dweller?, owing to their habit of living in huts a instructed over a form of rectan- 1: ipilar, circular or oval shaped pit, j many traces of which are still found n Yezo and the Iturife islands. A s few years ago the present writer I ilso discovered on the Bering sea-1 :oast of Alaska some perfect re-1 mains of a pit dwellers' village, j t ahieh is quite unlike any settle-! merits made today by the Eskimo or < Aleut natives of Alaska. ''The Ainus claim tiiat at somej0 remote |K?riod thoy were themselves ]. the inhabitant# of some far north-) ?rn country, and as evidence of this ! they cite tlieir hairy bodies. They ?av, 'Whv, if we did not come from ( k coiu roumrv, sauuiu ??c jjccu ivjbave skins like a bear?' Ii is poslible that they did migrate southward from the shores of the Bering ?ea either hv the way of' the Aleutian islands or along the coasts of Kamchatka and the Kuriles. "Like certain other northern races, the Ainus have no religion. They have no knowledge of a supreme being and no belief in a future state. Mr. I^andor, who questioned many natives on various subjects, was once scornfully told by one of them that 'the Ainus are taught nothing and they know nothing.' This exactly describes the I date in which they live."?Chicago j News. ^ v " _r TFOB IS AXEBriek in any quantity to suit purchas ?r.
