r ----- i * SPRIT "IS A QUEER PEOPLE. Miiwiiri and CiwWiw ?f Dm Hairy Aiatra af Y?n. Among the least known people of the world today are the hairy Aiaus - ? it - :.i?j - / v t i I I oi me miuiu ui i vtu. .A iraveivr mjs of them: "The men grow great beards, of which they are 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 %nd often primitive designs on their hands and arms and also acroas .heir foreheads. Young unmarried women .. *ha?fs every .little,tattooing on them, but once a woman is'married her husband seems to take a pride decorating his bride with repre- 1 sentations of hirsute 'adornment. < The modus operandi is one which < requires considerable fortitude on the part of the patient, since the crudest form of tattooing is adopted. Thia consists of making & num: > ber of incisions in the skin with the point of a knife. A characteristic of the Ainu race is the color of theii skin, which is of a deep bronze or copper color, and in nowise resembles any other of the oriental races, but is more like that of the Araeri, can Indians. . * "The Ajjjus have no records, written' or otherwise, of their former history nor of how and whence they 'noma irdmhif tfia island of YfiZO. ILegends, however, exist among cer- t *ain of the Ainus to the effect that v many years ago Yezo was inhabited r ?by * race of diminutive people who a "were Conquered and apparently exterminated by the Ainus. These f people were called by the Ainus t -Koro-pok-kuru, or pit dwellers, ow- i ing to their habit of living in huts ? constructed over a form of rectan- f gular, circular or oval shaped pit, c many traces of which are still found t in Yezo and the Kurile islands. A e few years ago the present writer i also discovered on the Bering sea- c ^coast of Alaska some perfect re- r vnains of a pit dwellers' village, [ whhjh is quite unlike any settle- t merits made today by the Eskimo or I Aleut natives of Alaska. t "The Ainus claim that at some ? remote period they were themselves s the inhabitants of some far northern "country, and as evidence of this I they cite their hairy bodies. They { say, 'Why, if we did" not come from 1 a cold country, should we' need to have skins like a bear?' It is pos- i sible that they did migrate south- t ? ward from the shores of the Bering \ sea either by the way of the Aleu- < tian islands or along the coasto of I Kamchatka and the Kuriles. i "Like certain other northern '< races, the Ainus have no religion. < They have no knowledge of la sti- i preme being and no belief in a.fti- 1 ture state. Mr. Lahdor, who que$;< 1 tioned many natives on various sub- ] jects, was once scornfully told bv j one ot tnem mat me muus oici taught nothing and they know notli- 1 ing.' This exactly describes the J fta'.e in which they live."?Chicago 1 ^cwsw Tired mothers, worn out by the peevish, cross baby have found Cascasweet a boon and a blessing.

It used to be thought that it served a useful purpose in removing waste matters from the system, and there is no doubt that it does so in a measure, but it cannot compare in this respect with the secretion of the kidneys. Indeed it is ninety-eight end eight-tenths parts water, and the solid part is chiefly chloride of sodium, which gives it the well known salty taste. Its function is to moisten the superficial layer of cells in the skin and so facilitate their retaoral.' But its chief use is believed to be to regulate the temperature of the body and prevent, by svaporatioo, excessive and dangerjus heat. The quantity secreted depends buch upon the temperature of the lir, exercise and the amount of fluid Irunk. But it averages between :hirty and forty ounces a day. It varies in inverse proportion to he secretion of the kidneys. The iec{etion is constant summer and rinter, day and night, but ordinariy evaporation keeps pace with it, ind it does not appear as moisture >n the skin. This is called the inensible perspiration, while that isible as water is called the seaside perspiratfon. It is decreased in amount in cerain diseases, such as diabetes, in vhich the kidney secretion is eaeruously increased, and in ichthyosis, i dry, scaly disease of the skin. Increased perspiration may W urely nervous in origin, as seen m he beads on the forehead of one rho is embarrassed, cm- the cold weat of fear or some other powerul emotion. In some cases the inreased perspiration is localized in he hands and feet. If this is an xpression of general weakness, tones and good food may correct the ondition, but usually loeal treatnent is called for.

The perspiration that occurs at light in consumption and other diseases, accompanied with hectic fe,er, is often very distressing. The juantity of water exuded is sorne:imes enomiQus, soaking not only light clothes, but the entire bedding! tnd mattress. If the patient's con-j lition will permit, a hot bath ofj four or five minutes' duratioh at jedtime will sometimes prevent or! lessen night sweats. If this is not permissible, sponging with hot vinegar and water may be tried. A glass if milk and half a dozen crackers taken at midnight will also occasionilly be found useful. ? Youth's Companion.

Cnr I GAMBLED BUT ONCE. f ? I . Pri? 'FeW F?r PanaeaJ by tka FsuftOsr af Manta Carta. M. Blanc, the founder-of the casino at Monte Carlo, eras very eccentric. Ha was never known*'to play at the table except on ohe occasion, and then it was a somewhat costly experience. . . While on a visit to the-.Wiesbadeti casino with Mrne. Blanc -he was in the habit of accompanying her on s morning stroll each day. During one of these walks raadame complained of the heat of the sun'ih'd requested her husband to buy heK a parasol. Accordingly the two entered a shop, where madame selected,! very pretty article, worth 80, fanes, which M. Blanc, with tared grumble, paid. " ' ' ? When the casino Opened at noon wreat was the astonishment of the a~7r~. " . - ..v crqp piers and visitors to se? M. Blanc plact 2 louis 6v the red at ona of the trente et quarante tables. The attendants- hastened to jet him a chair, but this be declined, saying he war oalygoing to remain a few minirtes. When the cards were dealt he"won, and; taking up his winning^, left the original stake on the table. For a second time he won apd ha<f now got back the price of the umbreffa. But, not content, be ventured anothef 2 louis, which this time be lost. Somewhat annoyed at th?> the founder of the place doubled the stake and won, thus getting back the cost of the umbrella again. Determined, however, to regain his 2 louis, he staked it again, only to see it raked in.by the bank.. Thus he kept cm winning and losing, but never able to recover the 2 lorna, till at last he found himself 25 louis out, all the gold bis pocketbook contained. A thousand franc note he had was quickly changed and swallowed up. Their, becoming exasperated, he cashed his check for a large sum and, sitting down, commenced the battle in earnest. Hour after hour passed by, but M. Blanc, his eyes fixed on the treachenws pasteooards, never budged from his post. He kept on planking down heavy 6tekes until the last deal was declared, when, calmly rising, he seized his yellow cane and made his way through the gaping onlookers into the open air. On reaching home he found Mme. Blanc playing "patience" with a! pack of cards, the offending parasol being on the table. "Madame," said the old gentleman, "do you know what that thing j has cost me?" "Mais oui, tnon ami. It cost you 80 francs." "Madanie." rejoined he, "you are mistaken. I have just paid the bill --91,00Q francs/'?London Mail. A TimtTy Warning. Mr/ H. was recently presented with a handsome revolver, whose qualities , he was testing by firing blank cartridges into the air, when his daughter, Natalie, aged six, appeared upon the scene.
