younger people are tempted to cool of
bit by bathing and swimming in thu
rivers or saltwater cstuaries near the
villages; but. during all Of my cxpc-
rience (and this is fully confirmed by
the statements of others who have had
longer knowledge of thcm). l never
once saw man or woman performing
any thing like ablutions in an Ainu
village. When brought under civiliz.
ing influences. they adapt themselves
to their environment, and make very
gooI servants.
An old custom of the people forbids
an Ainu woman exposing her person
in any way. Some 90 SO far as to say
that they must not be unclothed even
in private. Consequently. the girls

wore amulets (of japanese origiD,

to be darker than that of the Japan

to exposure, or how much to their an

of soap. it is impossible to even guess.

Many Uses of Castor Oil.

The average boy has an idea that castor
oil was got up for the torture of all kids
who have careful mothers to protect them
from the fell destroyer. He is mistaken,
like majority of grown people who only
regard castor oil as q medicine. Only q
very small proportion of it is consumed in
that manner. Castor oil forms one of the
best lubricators, and is used for greasing
wagons and other purposes where the
price does not prohibit it. Then it is
burned as an illumination, not only by the
Jews for their Sabbath lamp, but else
where.
In India, where large quantities Of the
seed are raised, the oil is added to the ma
tive condiments to flavor them. It is also
made into an Illuminating gas in India.
In this country castor oil Is used to dress
Morocco leather California, Kansas,
Iowa and Illinois are the principal sections
of this country where the seed is raised,
and the castor oil presses at Belleville,
Ills, are among the most extensive in the
world.-Druggist iu Globe Democrat.

An Eye on the Faithful.

The life of brakeman on the elevated
roads is an exempifcation of the persis-
tent regard that should be paid to what
many consider little things if one has am
bition to rise in life. It is noticed that
men who were brakemen ten years ago
are still employed as such. and that men
who started ten years ago are now con-
ducters, with a pleasant and dignifed
responsibility and higher pay to their
credit. The new men rose by persistently
paying attention to their duties, the chief
one being to call out all stations correctly
and distinctly Of course this has to be
done hundreds of times each day, but the
advanced ones have not tired
t is wrong supposition to think that
these men are apparently lost among
the hundreds of thousands who ride on
the road The eyes Of the management
are constantly on them. The slovenly
and inattentive ones grumble at the adj
vancement of new men, seemingly I'M.
aware of the cause They continue the
haphazard way of doing things, and see
the persistently attentive ones rise. and
are apparently unaware that they are the
arbiters Of their own fate.-New York

that occasionally besets our English

management, that "Woodmans Hut" was
produced. It was crammed full of sensa-
ton, prominently a burning forest. A

When eyes are wet that cannot forget,

For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is ono to 60.

And he who fights on the worlds broad Geld.
