Japan's Hatry Aborigfnals.

The only known race Of human beings
which have their bodies entirely covered
with hair of varying lengths is the So
called Dog Men" or Hairy Ainus" Of
the Yezo group Of islands, the most north
erly possessions of the empire Of Japan.
The whole Ainu population, according to
the very latest japanese census, is COM
posed of about 5000 people, less than
half of whom are pure bred. They are
dwarfs in stature, the average man meas
uring only about four feet nine inches and
the women about four feet two inches
Their heads are small and slope sharply
backward they have large mouths and
thick, full lips. The upper lip is extreme
Iy long and the chin round and short
They are allround oddities of the oldest
sort, but their most marked peculiarity
lies in the hairy covering of their bodies,
arms and legs. In the majority Of the
adults, female and males, the hair is thick
black and wavy, and inclined to arrange
itself in tufts or bunch curls. The hair
is sufficiently thick to conceal the skin
over the entire body. The black color
prodominaIes, but DIR. Landor Savange
mentions seeing few men and women
with reddish hair and beard.

Can the Heart Break.

Grief does not kill, and it is indeed
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to any one when in healthy con-
dition. 1t is, however, very often the in-
direct cause cf death, either by bringing
disease to a climax, or by rendering the
sufferer more liable 10 its attacks. If
man is convinced that his grief is more
than he can bear, those who have studied
the matter agree that, through the force
of his own imagination, the man will ac-
tually die from broken heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but il is supposed that it
would not have been fatal had not his
spirits been so depressed through exile
and defeat. William Pitt, the orator, is
said to have died from "broken heart"
caused by his great grief at the failure of
his cherished hopes and plans. And there
have been many other such instances in
the history of this country. When
plaques are raging in town, statistics
show that as many die from fright and
imaginary causes as from the real epidem
ic, so great hold has the fear Of death
on some people.
If man is condemned to be shot, il
has often occurred that on the word "fre"
he.has dropped lifeIess, although, through
accident or design, no bullet has in reali-
ty left the gun.
There is queer case on record con-
cerning the daughter of a celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply interest
ed in one of her fathers stories. 1t ap-
peared in installments, and the heroine
was suffering from consumption. As the
girl brooded over the sad fate of the hero
inc, she, too, suddenly manifested the
same symptoms. A physician recon-
mended her father TO restore the heroine
to health, which he did few chapters on,
and at the same time as the girl in her
novel recovered, so also did his too senti-
mental daughter

Paper Sails.

An innovation in yachting circles is
now being talked of, nothing less than
sails made of compressed paper, the sheets
being cemented and riveted together in
such way as to form a smooth and strong
seam. 1t appears that the first process of
manufacturing consists in preparing the
pulp in the regular way, to a ton of which
is added one pound of bichromate of pot
ash, twenty-five pounds of glue, thirtytwO
pounds of alum, II pounds of soluble
glass, and forty pounds of prime tallow,
these ingredients being thoroughly mixed
with the pulp. Next, the pulp is made
into sheets by regular paper'making ma
chinery, and two sheets are pressed to-
gether with glutinous compound between
so as to retain the pieces firmly, making
the whole practically homogeneous.
The next operation is quite important
and requires specially built machine Of
great power, which is used in COMPRISING
the paper from thick, sticky sheet to a
very thin, tough one. The new solid
sheet is run through a bath of sulphuric
acid to which ten per cent. Of distilled
water hae boon odded. from which II
emerges to pass between glass rollers, then
through bath of ammonia, then clear
water, and finally through felt rollers,
after which it is dried and polished be-
tween heated metal cylinders. The paper
resulting from this process is in sheets of
ordinary width and thickness of cotton
duck, it is elastic, alright, durable, light,
and possessed of other needed qualidca-
tions to make it available for light sail
making.
The mode of putting the sheets together
is by having a split on the edges of the
sheet or cloth so as to admit the edges Of
the other sheet When the split is closed
cemented and riveted or sewed, it closes
completely and firmly.

among Toy Makers.

Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her Un-
trodden Peaks, mentions many an inter-
esting visit to the homes of the working
people of St. Ulrich, where so many toys
are made.
"In one house" runs the account, eve
found and old, old woman at work, Mag
dalena Paldauf by name. She carved
cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and ele-
plants. She has made these six animals
her whole life long, and she has no idea
of how to cut anything else. She makes
them in two sizes and she turns out as
nearly as possible thousand of them
year. She has no model or drawing of
any kind to work by; but goes ON stead
lily, unerringly. using gouges of different
sizes, and shaping out her cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with
an ease and an amount of truth to nature
that would be clever if it were not utterly
mechanical. Magdalena Paldauf learned
from her mother how to carve these six
animals, aud her mother had learned, in
like manner, from her grandmother
Magdalena has now taught the art to her
own granddaughter, and so it will 90 on
being transmitted for generations" !"
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls aud cross
bones for fixing at the bases of crucifxes,
for the wood carving of Grodner Thai is
religious in its nature as well as amusing.
In other houses there were families that
carved rocking horses or dolls or other
toys, and in still other houses there were
families of painters.
"In one house we found about dozen
girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. 1t is
separate branch of the trade to paint
saddles and headgear. A good hand will
paint twelve dozen horses day, each
horse being about one foot in length and
for these she is paid 55 soldi, or about Is

Man.

Bearing in mind that, as far as general
confguration goes, the ground plans Of
the present continent have been about the
same, only an occasional bit Of land hav-
ing been topped off, as in England, the
question arises, Is man an animal Of the
old world or of the new? If we descend
from some aulhropoidal ape, then that
Asialic or African monkey must have
had fair band, and, above all else,
working thumb. Baboons run on all
fours, but the gibbons, who are arboreal
and live on fruits, have nicely developed
thumbs and can pick nut and shell it
neatly. An American monkey has not
these exact capabilities. He does not
depend on his hands to cling to a branch.
He uses a fifth limb, which is his prehen-
sile tail. The true gibbon is not, how
ever, utterly a nut or fruit eater. If con-
fined TO that diet alone, 4 strictly vegeta-
rian one, he pines. He likes eggs and
devours small insects. Vary bis diet in
a menagerie, making him slightly omniy-
orous, and his condition improves. If
not, then, for these arboreal ancestors,
who had hands, we might never have
been. We may then trace our origin
from the old rather than from the new
one. but we really know little about the
particulars.-Ne,V York Times.

4 Loaded Eagle Bird.

An eagle, measuring seven feet from
tip to tip and luggiug with him as he flew
a heavy steel trap, was recently shot by
H. Cooley, 4 Division Superintendent of
the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Cooley was hunting on Mount
Shasta, near Sisson, when he saw a big
bird rise slowly from The ground. The
bird was big enough to be an eagle, but
bis slow rate of flight did not agree with
Mr.. COoley's experience of the nature and
characteristics of the eagle bird Of free
dom that looks at the sun and saws ::
"Ha ha % Or words to that effect
However, he shot the thing and satisfied
himself that it was an eagle, good deal
bampered in his fight by heavy steel
trap that bad been snapped on the right
leg of the bird where it hung and tapped
and tangled. Fastened to the trap were
some links Of an IRON chain that had been
broken by the bird in bis efforts to free
himself. The tremendous power Of the
eagles wings was shown by the fact that
he was able to break this chain without
any Of the impetus that might be gained
in long fight.
For weeks the bird had carried the trap
on his legs, as was shown by the fact that
the scar made by the jaws of the trap had
healed. How the bird was able to live
during that time is not clear, for be was
so greatly hampered in his fight as to
make it difficult to catch his natural prey.
All the arteries but one in the leg had
been served by the jaws of the trap, but
that one was enough to supply blood to
the claw.
Mr.. Cooley cut off the birds foot and
sent it with the trap attached to the Office
of the Fish and Game Commission in the
Flood Building, where it may be scen.-

Choosing the Lesser Eru.

One of the California pioneers the other
day told story of stump-speaking in the
Golden State. A turbid orator, so no.
ted for his verbosity and heaviness that
he had been dubbed melancholy" Nc
Cullom, was assigned to speak at a min
ing camp in the mountains. There were
about fifty miners present when he began.
But when, at the end Of a couple Of hours
be gave no signs of finishing, his listeners
dropped away. Some went back to work,
but the majority sought wherewith to
quench their thirst, which had been i'm
meusely aggravated by the dryness Of the
discourse.
Finally there was bat one auditor left,
a dilapidated, weary-looking old fellow.
Fixing his gaze on him, McCullom pull
ed out a mans size six shooter and laid it
on the table, The old fellow rose slowly
and drawled out;
"Be you goin' to shoot, ef go?"
"You bet l am responded McCullom,
"I'm bound to finish my speech, even if
have to shoot to keep an audince." :"
The old fellow sighed in tired man
ner, edged off slowly, saying as he did so;
"Well, shoot, ef you wants to. | may
lest as well be shot as talked to death."

BLOSSOM TIME.

Oh the sweet world of the blossoms,
When the blithe winds to and fro
Rock the softly tinted cradles
Where the fruited orchards grow,
All the breezes waiting perfume
Ger wide fields of drifting snow.
Snow of summer and of flowers,
Not the fakes of feathery chill
Once that filled the sleeping hollows,
Rounded out each watching hill;
Snow Of summer and of flowers,
Acres it, where you will.
Hidden deep among the petals,
Even from eyes that love her best,
Many patient little mother
Broods beneath her beating breast
Wings and Songs that wait thy rapture
When they flutter from the nest.
Oh the white world of the blossoms,
Where the sweet winds to and fro,
Softly, softly. rock the cradles
Swinging high, and swinging low,
Cradles of the fruited orchards
In the blossoms tinted snow.

There is no truer saying than the above,
but to name the causes of i'll success is i'm
possible. Many fail at the same occupation
another will take up and succeed. Who can
explain?
A case in point is the very great success
and increasing sale of Lightning Hot Drops.
Is it the management of the business, the
advertising of Lightning Hot Drops or the
great merit of Lightning Hot Drops that
makes it the only household and all around
remedy in the thousands Of American honest
It is an acknowledged fact Lighting Hot
Drops is the best remedy known for all the
summer ills due to bad or change of water
aud diet diarrhoea. 1t is n necessity in the
travellers grip and trunk. Not only does
it act as above stated, but it cures all kinds
of pains, flesh wounds, bruises, bites Of in

ant to take, aud has such delicate odor
that one does not realize that he is taking
medicine If you never used Lightning
