Amos of Japan Who Had Never Seen
Foreigner.

Foreigner.
From the Century Magazine
In the summer of 1895, as a lay mem
Der of the Amherst College expedition
which visited Northern Japan to view the
total eclipse Of the sun, had the rare op-
portunity of seeing the absolutely primi-
tive "hairy Aino' of that region, says
Mrs. Mabel LOOMS Todd.
In the southern portion Of the island,
near Hakodate and Sapporo, and about
Volcano bay, travellers have visited these
shy and silent people. But several hun
dred miles north are many Amos who,
until the summer of 1896, were strangers
to the numbers of any race but their own
or the few japanese who are establishing
small fishing villages along the coast. The
jewellers in the province of Kitami are
too distant to be sought by visitors; and
a foreign woman, the japanese officials
informed me, had never before reached
Kitami.
Skirting the rough western coast by
steamer, and rounding Cape Soya, the
eclipse party located at Esashi, which
must not be confused with another town
of the same name near Hakodate. The
news of the arrival of strange white for
eigners spread quickly among the neigh
boring villages. Walking with stately
tread, bushy-haired and bearded groups
of Amos often passed the expedition
headquarters apparently looking for
nothing unusual, and giving no evidence
of curiosity, yet never failing to see every
foreign figure within their range. Hum
bly, accompanying their lords, women and
children frequently followed, far less i'm
posing than the men. Somewhat larger,
and apparently stronger than the Japa-
nese, although not taller, the older men
are actually patrarchal, with long boards,
and masses of thick hair parted in the
middle Many faces have a benign and
lofty expression.
Driven gradually through ages from this
south to Hokkaido, the Amos are among
the few races yet retaining, in this over
civilized world of ours, an utterly I'M
spoiled simplicity. Their origin has never
been satisfactorily traced, but they were
certainly in Japan long before the present
race of japanese had arrived, the names
clearly originating in the Aino tongue
are still retained all over the empire. Cen
tie and subservient to the conquering race
1t is evident that they formerly held more
egotistc views than now, even fancying
themselves the center of the universe, as
Is shown perhaps by an old national song:
Gods of the sea, open your eyes divine,
Wherever your eyes turn, there echoes
the sound of the Aino speech.

Capture of Havana, 1902.
From the Nineteenth Century.


It was on July 80 that breach was sue
cessfully made, but so narrow was it as to
admit. but one man at time, and 1t was
but the impetuosity of the British soldiers
that enabled the work to be stormed and
captured Equally brave, however, were
the defenders, who sold their lives most
dearly and left dead or wounded upon the
ground most of their number, including
more than one of their chief leaders. Con-
spicuous among these were the Marquis
de Gonzales, the Spaniard second In COM
mand who was killed, and one Lon Luis
de Velasco the commander OF the Spanish
ship-of-war the Renia, who established
himself in an inner intrenchment with
about 100 men, and, after Offering most
determined resistance, fell mortally wound
ed. The courtesy Of the British cOmman-
der allowed this gallant officer to be re-
moved 10 the city Of Havana, where he
died a few days later.
So struck was the King of Spain with
the heroism displayed by Don Luis on this
occasion, that he not only created his son
Viscount Moro but ordained that hence
forth in memory of his brilliant example,
there should always be one vessel In the
Spanish navy bearing his name. Whether
this command has been observed ever since

Paris, July 27.-Tnformal out-of-door
luncheons are much In vogue Just now.
The matrons who are fond of entertain
ing have given great deal OF attention
to the arrangement of their luncheon
bowers. Some of them are picturesque

cool, green vines and running roses.
Others are rustic wood affairs, very olab-

lene stoves,
Even a corner of the piazza prettily fit

outdoor luncheons, and some women

Rats on IrOncIa dis.
From the Spectator.

FROM the spectator
Confronted with the difficulties which
modern builders and householders put in
the way of rats i'm drains floors, and skirt
ings, the black rat would probably be baf-
fed, while the sagacious gray rat sin re-
mains more or less master of the situa-
ton. The case of the rat is typical of the
value of brain power. Routine, which is
the usual condition of animal existence
does not exist for them. They have to
face "reconstructions of their common
surroundings at any given moment, and
their resources and adaptabilty have sell
dom been found wanting
Ship rats have survived the era of steam
and steel. and only recently thrived so
successfully in a big ironclad that they
made her majesty's ship Colossus almost
un,nhabitable. House rats have learned
how to cope with gas fittings, lead pipes,
brick drains and cement floors; Sewer
rats" have made themselves a name CO.
eval with modern urban sanitation, and
others are now learning to live In "cold
stores and eat chilled meat and game
in an atmosphere where breath turns into
snow.

dress were of crlnkled material and the
waist and skirt were of null over a colored
foundation. The skirt was trimmed with
two rufies of null, one being much mar
rover than the other. At the head of each
ruffle was big, heavy roll of magenta vel
Vet which was crushed so as to form a
muldtudinous fold. The waist had a band

narrow belt of the same caught with a dun

1T is quite the fad to wear natural flow
ers to match the embroidered flowers upon
the waist. This dress of pink null and ma-
genta velvet was embroidered upon the
waist with long narrow chrysanthemum
petals in pale yellow The waist was slit
to show a vest of pink China silk. The en-
broidered leaves extended the full length of
the waist each side of the vest and they
were set off with a tiny tracing of most
delicate green leaves
