She Saw Through Him.

1t is hard for a certain class of peo
pie to understand that the successes
Of art are not the result of clever dex-
tcrity alone. The idea of anything
like unusual and original power is
quite beyond their comprehension.
and they imagine that works of genius
are produced by rule, as a cook makes
a cake or a pudding.
A person of this kind recently
called upon one of the best known of
living portrait painters, and insisted
upon seeing him on important b,lsi-
ness, although at the time he was
engaged with a sitter. When he ap-
peared the woman said:
Il want you to give me lessons"

her in some surprise, but I have not

"Oh, / won't take up any time to
speak Of" the caller said. II can
learn very quickly, and you'll only
have to tell me how to do it,"
"But l never take pupils, the artist
said, with unmistakable decision. II
could not think of taking you"
The stranger regarded him with a
lotss which was hardly less than with,
ering.
"Oh," she said. .teeringly. Al see
how it is! You don't dare to give
away your secret for fear it would
spoil your business"

she found a large boat, and for many
months sailed the sea. At last she
landed in a mountainous country
(Japan) and gave birth to a son and
Il daughter. The descendants of
these children married, some among
themselves and others among the
bears of the mountains. The chill
dren of the bears were brave and
skillful hunters and withdrew further
and further into the inaccessible
mountains, where they yet live and

their origin. also gives the reason for

in three pieces, are poisoned on the

Amos is simple. being mostly skins

bark. Until Z or 8 years old chill
drc:i run about naked; they then put

hencclurth always worn. The island
of Yezo is as large as Ireland, but
the population numbers only some
123. 900. The japanese live in some
of the villages, and the relations
between the Amos and Japanese are
peculiar. The Aino never mixes
with the others. nor would he even
think of building a house next to a
Japanese.
"Their houses, writes Mrs. Flesher.
"are really huts. A wooden frame is
first built and on this bundles of
reeds are tied. Inside is a second
wall of reeds tied singly. The roofs
are extraordinarily steep. very much
like those of the Quebec houses. and
probably for the same reason-to shed
the heavy snow and prevent it from
crushing in the roof. To each house
there is a little ante-chamber. 1t is
never lighted and is separated from
the house proper by a square curtain
of rushes bound with hide. Enter

Fleshcr gives a very interesting &C
count of this strange people, who are
called Amos.
Ethnologists have been unable to
establish their origin satisfactorily,
but 1t seems most probable that they
came from Asia. Indeed their own
tradition, which Mrs. Flesher gives
as follows, bears out such a theory:
skamni, the Prince of Asia, fell vio-
iently In love with his daughter. As
q punishment for their wickedness
the whole body Of the young princess
became thickly covered with hair. In

AN A1No HOUSE.

ing the house, we fin1 ourselves in a
large room about % feet long by 30
feet wide. In the center is a square
fireplace, over which is suspended an
iron pot for cooking. Round it sit a
group of Withholding men dressed in
skins, and two or three naked chill
dren. The old men have a most ZEN
cradle appearance, with their long
white boards and flowing hair. The
head of the fireplace is the seat of
honor and here a raised ledge about
12 or 13 inches high and 5 feet long
is erected. The Amos sit cross
legged, like t%ailors, on their
heels as do the japanese. The win
dows are square holes closed at night
by shutters made of two boards fas-
tened together by a piece of rope.
Around two sides of the room are
benches for sleeping. At night, mats
are hung in front Of each sleeper"
The Amos are nature worshipers,
and every stream and mountain has
Its own guardian deity. The most
! important part of their creed is the
worship of the hear, whom they adj
mire for his courage and regard as be-

Aino a bear is a most %flattering re-
mark. A stick with shavings tied to
