Fashions of the AinuS,

A description of the clothing worn in cold weather by the hairy Ainus, those strange little inhabitants of farther Si- beria and part of Japan, is as follows:
 The only material of which they ever have a complete suit is tishskin. Such a suit is sometimes elaborately though coarsely embroidered. The resemblance between this embroidery and that of the North American Indians is remarkable.
 How the fishskin is prepared is still a puzzle to me. Though pretty thin, it is very tough and has more pliability than might be thought possible. Shoes even are made with it, but not exclusively of it. It generally forms the lining of the uppers.
 The thicker clothing is grotesqueness itself. For medium garments, especially for the covering of the back and chest, birch bark is used, other materials being stitched to it. For the coldest weather the clothing is much like that of the Eskimos and the Kamchatdales. The grotesqueness of it arises not so much from it's shape as from the variety of the materials.
 In one of these Joseph's coat dresses were mixed patches of sable, bear, deer and foxskins, includ;Seg the tails, in hap hazard fragments, while behind and be- fore there was underneath all these a large piece of birch bark. The bark, afterward found, was intended inciden- tally as protection against accidental shots from poisoned arrows which the Ainus use more in winter than in sum- mer in their hunting excursions Youths Companion.

A LeCal PuZZler.

Curious comments by a judge, even in the presence of the prisoner, though ex- tremely rare, are not unprecedented. MT. Justice Maule once addressed phe- nomenon of innocence in a smocll frock in the following words: Prisoner at the bar, your counsel thinks you innocent; the counsel for the prosecution thinks you innoccr.::; link you innocent. But jury of your own countrymen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem to be much, have found you guilty, and it remains that shall pass upon you the sentence of the law. That sentence is that you be kept in imprisonment for one day, and as that day was yesterday you may now go about your business"

BOILED MEATS NOT Boil ED.
Best Cooks Quickly ''Set" the Surface and
Then Only Simmer.

Best Cooks Quickly 'set" the Surface and
Then Only Simmer.
Boiling is a branch of culinary art
that is understood by comparatively
few cooks, although it is generally
supposed to be the most simple form of
cookery known.
Actual boiling a applied to meats
very rarely occurs, excepting for a few
minutes at a time, and then at the be-
ginning of cooking. When these few
minutes are over, the aim of the expert
enced cook is to keep meats that are to
be boiled from boiling, and to let them
simmer pntil done, for as surely as the
meat boils it will be spoilt. A good
rule for boiling is the following:
Fresh meat, fresh poultry, fresh fish,
all alike, should be plunged into as
much boiling water as will co-er them.
Boil quickly three or four minutes in
the Ease of meat, one minute in the
case of fish, then draw the kettle back,
add a little cold water to reduce the
heat, and keep it covered, and let the
contents simmer only until done.
The quick boiling "sets'' the surface
of the meat, which keeps in the flavor
and goodness, while the inner portion
is gently cooked until done: this is all
the boiling needed.
When really boiled, fresh meat is
tough aud fiavorless. so that to boil"
meat successfully it should not be boiled
at all.
That fresh meat should invariably be
put into boiling water, and salt meat
into cold. is another rule worth remem-
bering. Salt should always be added
to the water for fresh meats.-N. Y.
