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

PERSPIRATION.
v* * T"m
TK? Important Funotiana af Tkla Watary
aarattan.
The perspiration is a watery secretion
of certain curiousfy coiled
glands in the skin. 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. Immersing the

he feet in water as hot as it can be
>orne for about five minutes and
hen, aft?r drying, dusting them
kith very finely powdered boricicid
is often of great service.
The moist hand may be kept dry
?y frequent application to the
>alms of a saturated solution of
)orie acid in cologne water.
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

A Child's Dictionary.
The late Frederic R. Coudert,
the noted lawyer and wit, had a
great fondness for children. He
collected indefatigably the quaint
sayings of children, and one of the
treasures of liis library was a small
manuscript volume called "A Child's
Dictionary," and these are some of
the definitions that Mr. Coudert
would read from it:
Dust?Mud with the juice squeezed
out of it.
Snoring?Letting off sleep.
Apples?The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
Backbiter?A mosquito.
Fan?A thing to brush the warm
off with.
Ice?Water that went to sleep in

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

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. "Oh, papa/'
she exclaimed in great distress,
"don't shoot at the sky I You
might kill an angel!"?Circle.
That languid, lifeless feeling that
comes with spring and early summer,
can be quickly changed to a
feeling of buoyancy and energy by
the judicious use of Dr Shoop's Restorative.
The Restorative is a
genuine tonic to tired, rundown ,
nerves.and but a fewdoses are needed i
| to satisfy the user that Dr Shoop's
Restorative is actually reaching that

nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels, and to sluggish circulation
in general. The customery lack of
exercise and outdoor air ties up the
liver, stagnates the kidneys, and ofttimes
weakens the Heart's action.
Use Dr Shoop's Restorative a few
weeks and all will be changed. A
few days test will tell you that vou
are using the right remedy. You
will easily and surely note the
change from day to day. Sold by
