Independenee Day at Nogales.

While there was no set programme for observance of Independence Day at Nogaies there was enough going on to satisfy the cravings of the most patriotic.
 The day was ushered in by series of salutes fired all around town by a squad of Company G, who patrioticalr ly burnt powder on every corner, and midway in the block.
 At nine o'clock Company c, paraded the streets, turning out thirty-four men under command of Captain J. l.. Hathaway, and presenting very creditable appearance. The custom house was visited, salute fired, and the usual honors presented at the Mexican consulate.
 A bicycle race was gotten up by MT. P. E, Yates, eight boys entering, and the run being over the usual course between Calabasas and Nogoles. Fol lowing is the score:

 Twenty-eight dollars were collected and divided among the riders.
 At o'clock p. m. the Nogales Fire Department turned out under the command of Chief L. W. Mix. The boys were out in full force, with their new uniforms, and the engine, hose cart and hook and ladder truck hand somely decorated. The line of march was from the quarters of the engine at Hogan's to the site Of the new en- zine house, where the corner stone was laid by Chief Mix-Allen T.

BRAVE CHINESE BOY.

His Presence of Mind Rewarded by thu
Council of Mandarins. %
More than 1000 years ago the grea'
city of Picking was called Min; its in
habitants felt very proud Of its many
ornaments, but exhausted their speech
in praising the public gardens. These
were really very beautiful, and great
care was exercised that each shrub and
towering plant should be displayed to
the best advantage.
Often, in times of drought, the plants
had suffered for water, SO that the wis
dom of the mandarin council was tried
to find some way of averting this calam-
ity. At last a number of large earthen
jars were set in different parts of the
gardens for the purpose of catching the
rain as it fell.
The central one was huge affair,
ornamented on the sides with dragons
and fishes in raised work. It was very

The Hairy Ainu Are the Most Peculiar Ma

Holtkaido is the name given by the
japanese to the island of Yezo, with all
| the smaller islands near its coast, to-
gether with the Kurile group. Thus
the Hokkaido extends, roughly speak
| ing, from Al to 81 degrees latitude
north, and between 1879 and 1877 degrees
longitude east of Greenwich. 1t is in
Yezo particularly that the large num-
Der of Ainu are found, while a few live
in the islands of Kunashiri, Etorofu and
Shikotan.
The Ainu are race of people whose
strange popularity is that they are COW
cred with hair all over the body, al
most as monkeys are. Their faces are
not quite SO hirsute, though the hair
on the scalp begins to grow low on the
forehead, and the beard of the men be-
gins from right under the eyes. Their
eyebrows are thick and shaggy, and oc-
casionally they even have a few coarse
hairs growing on the nose. The wom-
en-, who are not supplied with such

make up for the lack Of it by tattooing
on their lips long mustache, which,
when completed, reaches from one ear
to the other.
This, they think, gives them a manly
appearance, and as manliness and hairi-
ness are the only two things the Ainu
are proud of, the women sometimes also
tattoo lines on the forehead and rough
geometrical patterns on their arms, all
of which are supposed to add to the
coveted air of yirility.
The Ainu have no literature, no
books, no writing, and hardly one in
dividual out of a hundred can count up
to five, even with the help of his fingers.
Their language is extremely poor in
words, and as for rules or q grammar.

4 One bright day party Of merry LITTLE
boys entered the gardens and began te
play games. firing at last of theil
sports, they rested themselves in the
shadow Of this large jar.
One, more adventurous than the
others, proposed to climb to the top OF
the jar, and try to catch a glimpse OF
the water-god, who was said to live at
the bottom of it. But they were all
afraid, so he commenced his ascent
| alone.
| 1t was not hard work, because he
could easily step from one fish or drag
on to another. At last he reached the
top, and, waving his hands, began to
walk on the rim. Suddenly his foot
slipped, and he disappeared inside the
jar.
A scream of terror broke from the
boys below, for they believed the water
god was angry at being disturbed, and
had dragged him in.
But one of the number, whose name
was Shiba Onko, cried boldly:
LET us break the jar, for only last
night l heard my father say it was near
ly empty"
Again they were afraid, for would not
the chief gardener be very angry, and
then, too, might not the dreaded water
god devour them? So Onko said:
well, towards, run away and I win
break the JAR and he seized large
rock and hurled it with all his strength.
1t broke in several pieces, and the water
gushing out, Onko saw his little friend
huddled together, greatly frightened,
but not much hurt.
When the gardener heard the great
crash he came running and reached the
spot just as onko was trying to help
his companion out.
When he heard the story, he ex-
claimed:
"Ah, brave lad that you are! What |
are million such beautiful jars in COM

under any circumstances, remember
toothache or any other pain.
IL seems desirable to follow this state
ment at once with the assurance that u
is not a joke. Psychologists, as a RUE,
are not humorists. and they have no
thought OF being funny when they assert
that pains and other sensations cannot
be remembered. Those OF them who hold
this View are strictly In earnest. and mean
exactly what the words imply in their
soberest sense. They are perfectly aware
that we commonly speak OF remembering
pains. and suppose that we do remember
them. But they contend that In such
case we remember. not the pain Itself
but the IDEAS that were associated Win
the pain. We remember. for example. that
we were unable TO work because we had
a toothache that We applied remedies To
It unsuccessfully that finally We went to
a dentist and had the tooth extracted,
ard az once gained relief. All this we re-
member very wildly, as every one admits.
But IL is said. we do not retain In our
minds the slightest trace of the pain i'll
self as n memory, or OF the sensation OF
relief that came when the pain ceased.

ing sharply into the darker corners OF
