''Yimmin. " remarked the philosophic
barber as he swished the glistening blade
across the quiyering epidermis of his la
test victim, "wimmin are like razors,
and by the same token, sir, razors
are like wlmmin. They're both mighty
uncertain, and you never know when
they're a going to fool you.
Razor pulls, does it? Well, sir, that S
one of the best bits of steel in the shop,
and it's the one I always use ON you, sir.
That razor has no right to cut up rough;
it was strOpped well just before you came
in, and it's been shaving like dream all
the morning.
'DO know what's the matter with
it? Rather. It's got one of it's regular
tantrums on, done all the work it thinks
it ought to do and just started IN to take
vacation on its own account when | want
it worst.
Cant do a thing whit; might strop
and strop till the leather wore out, but
it wouldn't make any difference.
REST is the only thing that'll fix that
razor up. I'll stow it away in a CUP
board for three or four days without
touching it, and when take it out again
it'll shave as we'll as ever. No account
ing for that trick, is there-nor for the
majority of wimmin's?" With which
he filled his victims right eye with la
ther and smiled the smile of intellectual
superiority.

A CURIOUS RACE.
Some Interesting Facts About the Hairy
Men of Japan.

Some Interesting Facts About the Hairy
Men of Japan.
At the last meeting of the London
AnJhropological Institute Miss Isabella
Bird (Mrs Bishop the we'll known trav-
| elers read an interesting paper on the
Amos OF Japan, that singular race Of
HAIRY men, who are chiefly found on
the island of Yesso. Miss Bird spent
some time in village of Amos. near
Volcano bay, studying their manners and
| customs, and she illustrated her lecture
with specimens of their dresses, utensils
and weapons as well as with lantern
illustrations, some drawn by herself and
Others taken from japanese artists, who.
| however, have caricatured the types of
the people to a certain extent.
Miss Bird cannot decide whether or
not the Amos were the original inhabi-
tants of Japan. They themselves say
that they conquered and exterminated
an earlier race. of cave dwellers There
is no doubt, however, that they were
conquered by the japanese. The men
range from five feet four inches to five
feet six inches in height, are strongly
built and muscular and in some in
stances, espe cially among the mountain
Amos, are thickly covered all over. ex-
| cept the feet hands and one or Two other
| parts of the body, with short, black hair.
Even children show a thick. brown fell.
| The women are not hairy like the men
and have soft, brown skins, where it is
not scalded by dirt, for, according to
Miss Bird, these people never wash, ex-
| cept for feasts and festivals, and then
| only the hands and feet. The men have
! fine, high foreheads, but Miss Bird Won
ders what they contain, for she has never
met stupider people. The average
weight of their brains is forty-fve odd
ounces. They are hunters of the bear
and other wild animals and are rude
gardeners. They live on almost any
thing that is not poisonous, vegetable or
animal, from slugs to beef, and their
| fay0rite dish is broth of 'abominable
things to men, " the phrase of Miss Bird,
who was forced to eat of it through
courtesy. The list of ingredients re-
minded some of her auditors of Shakes

Amos live in wooden houses, all of
the same construction, and sleep on plat
forms made private by curtains Until
the age of nine children of both sexes
live naked, but after that the are COM
| pletely clothed in dress of dark cloth
and Japanese cotton. The women are
remarkable for their modesty, and only
change their clothes when alone and in

working all day long; kind to their chill
dren, gentle and atfectionate The men
are also very obliging and gentle, with a
singularly sweet smile, but very little
head for matters outside their own bust
ness, and, in general, they have a sad
and apathetic bearing. They are relig-
ious, believing IN many gods, to which
they offer libations of ''saki''-that is
rice wine. "Saki' is likely to prove
their ruin. They are dying out in spite
of the humane efforts of the japanese
government to preserve them.

| Mr.. J. F. Merrill, president Of the
First National Bank Was called east
some two weeks ago on account Of
the serious illness OF his mother,
whose bedside he reached only q
short time before her death. The
following sketch Of the deceased is
taken from the Erie, Pa, Daily
Times:
The long and painful illness Of
Mrs. Louisa +. Merrill, Of No. 24l
west sth street, terminated In disco
luton last night at late hour. The
family were all present excepting
Mr. q. Burr Merrill, who being
Frustrated yesterday, had been
taken to the Hanoi Hospital, for
treatment. Mr.. Merrill, who had
been q most dutiful and loving son,
was not feeling well when he came
from New York and his grief over
his mothers condition overcame his
strength.
Mrs. Merrill was native of Hart
ford, Conn., and was the widow of
Mr.. Geo. b. Merrill, who moved
from Buffalo to Erie and engaged In
the dry goods business on north
Park Row some years before the
war. Her great sorrow over the
death Of her husband was followed
some years later by the loss Of q be- |
loved son, Mr.. Frank Merrill. The
remaining members OF the family
are Messrs. q. Burr Merrill, and |
John +. Merrill, and two daughters,
Mrs. VIM. b. Haines, aud Mrs. Lieu
tenant G. p. Reese, L. 3. n. While
her home had been robbed OF hus-
band and sou by death. the loving
and sollcitous attentions
Of sons and daughters made her life
most happy. No mother was ever
blessed with children who were
more sacrificing i'm her interests aud
no family of children ever had a
mother more thoughtful or consid-
rate OF their pleasures and COM
orts. Mrs Merrill's death removes
rom Erie one OF its best aud most
brilliant women. and her memory
Will be long revered by all who en-
Dyed her acquaintance and friend

A Successful Physician,

The above term might rightfully
apply to q number Of men In Salina,
but to none more appropriately than
DR.. M. Jay Brown. Eight years ago
he located in this city, aud his office
has been q center to which come
patients from all parts OF the state,
and even surrounding states. The
people have realized that all diseases
OF the eye, ear and respiratory organs
can be as successfully and skillfully
treated here as In the cities east Of
here, and at q great lessening OF ex-
pense. The doctor Is, as his friends
know, very unostentatious, and few
realize the large amount OF practice
done by him, or the brilliant result
invariably following his operations.
The opticians to whom he sends
his orders say that his trade In
glasses and spectacles is larger than
that OF any other man in this rart Of
the west.
DIR. Brown has cast his lot with US,
aud has contributed his share to the
success Of Sslina by establishing so
large q business. We can wish him
nothing better than q continuation
