FIaxseed and Mustard.

What a jolly thing a cold Is when you
get 1t good and lard!
How it cheers the dropping spirits Of the
energetic bard!
Hear the cheerful way he sneezesl
How he pleases with his wheezes!
And his treasured nose he squeezes
While he rubs his chest with lard.
While the trustiest of nurses by his
verses never fustered
Makes a poultice, like a custard,
OF the faxseed and the mustard.
What a jolly thing q cold Ii with the
poultice in Its place!
When your heart Is filed with gladness
and the sweat runs down your
face!
Does the patient do some cussing
At the. fussing and the mussing?
Nay! He's learnedly discussing
The improvement of the race.
Never yelled and never clustered
When he felt that stinging custard
Made Of faxseed and Of mustardl
What jolly thing q cold Is! Oh, the
liar that l am!
Am l gently philosophical and gentle as

No, I'm not! I'm fercely cranky
At this measly hanky-panky.

On their shelves permit to spoil

The Wooden Indian.

Behold the wooden Indian,
Who stands outside the door,
And guards, with frown and hatchet
The old tobacco store.
He never beat a grocery bill,
He never told lie,
He never took a longing look
At bourbon, fzz, or rye.
Behold the wooden Indian
A mass of oak and paint,
He never made a crooked move,
In faith, he Is a saint.
He never bought stack Of chips
And sat into game;
He never rushed a chorus girl,
Or firted with a dame.
Behold the wooden Indian,
Who, on the other hand,
Was never known to help the poor
That fill our glorious land;
Who never heard the piteous cry
OF him who starved alone
Who never gave a hungry dog
So much as one small bone.
Behold the wooden Indian
(And clay Is much like wood,
Who never did bit of harm,
Nor yet a bit of good.
His family Is not extinct
In fact, one often meets
A lot Of wooden Indians
A-walking OH the streetsi

The Ainu live In the most primitive
manner possible They have adopted
the dress Of the japanese, but the
houses are very unlike any seen in
Japan. They are made Of rice straw,
rooted with a thatchlng Of reeds. How
the natives ever survive the winter Is
difficult to understand. In the center
Of the room is the fireplace, from
which the smoke floats out into the
room, at times becoming almost sufro-
eating. An opening In the roof ls
supposed TO serve as an outlet. but the
smoke does not always nnd II. Over
the fire hangs a huge iron kettle and
into 1t are thrust all sorts Of dsh, ami
NAL and vegetable food, to be dished up
later in q sort Of composite chowder.
Around two sides Of the room is a
slightly raised platform, upon which
the whole family range themselves for
the night. without bedding of any sort
in summer and only scanty supply
in winter.
As a race the Ainu are sturdy In ap-
pearance. but are peaceable aud not
given to war, like the Japanese. The
marked feature Of the men Is a hairy
growth upon the entire body, like that

somewhat the outward appearance OF

The women have the same large,

generally dlshgured by an ancient Gus
tom of tattooing a large portion of the
face around the mouth, the upper part
Of which takes the form Of mustache.
It signifies nothing whatever except
q badge of distinction for the race.
