Peculiar People Whose Characters Be-
lie Their Looks.
A traveller in Japan thus describes
the hairy Amos of that country: s'The
men are. about the middle height,
broad chested, broad shouldered, thick
set, very strongly built, the arms and
feet large The bodies and especially
the limbs OF many are covered with
short, bristly hair. l have seen two
boys whose backs are covered with fur
as fine and soft as that of cat. We
were ferried over river by an Aino
completely covered with hair, which
on his shoulders was wavy like that Of
a retriever and rendered clothing quite
needless, either for covering or for
warmth. A wavy black beard rippled
nearly to his waist over his furry
chest, and with his black locks hang
ing in masses over his shoulders he
would have looked a thorough savage
had it not been for the exceeding
sweetness of his smile and eyes"

UNNEEDED STRAIN ON HORSES

Good Teamster Can Do Much for An
imaIs in His Charge.
To strength required OF an aver
age sized team of horses and the
strain on the horses to draw a heavy
load over stones or out of deep rut
hole, or over many other avoidable
obstacles is often greater than to
draw the same load over q smooth
surface fifty yards.
1t would be small estimate to say
a careless driver strains his team
in that manner twenty times day.
Ii driver prevents straining his
horses twenty times each day he will
save them 1000 yards of unnecessary
pulling and in the 300 working days
of the year 100000 yards, and in five
years 100000 yards-nearly 1000
miles.
With proper judgment and careful
ness the driver, at the end Of the
five years, will have in place of Il
team of weak, over-worked, bony
horses, team of healthy and strong
ones.
From business point of view will
1t not pay any horse owner, driver, or
teamster to be careful and consider
ate and to avoid all unnecessary
strains on horses?-Our Dumb Ami

wRENs SING A REQUIEM.
How the Birds Mourn the Loss of
Comrade.

Comrade.
did you know that wrens sing a
requiem-hold a funeral service-over
their dead?" said a gardener. Il my
self once saw requiem in progress.
1t was an early morning in May, and
an unusual twittering outside my win
dow caused me to get up. l saw, un-
der the caves, two curious festoons
hanging from the room. The festoons
were two semi-circles composed Of
wrens-wrens to the number of 20 or
rs, that chung to one another with
foot and wing. Thus they hung for
two or three minutes, and all the
while they twittered mournfully. Then
'sHdderly, they broke loose and few
away. On going down | found dead
wren lying just under the window
over which the birds, in their strange
cluster, had SO sadly twittered. A
naturalist to whom | described this
episode said that what | had wit
messed was called the 'wren's re-
quiem,' an established fact, Though a
thing very rarely seen.v-Philadelph

ImmOrte11es.

The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least 1900
persons. The immortelles are gathered
about the beginning of October and
come chiefly from the arid hills in the
middle and south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their natural
condition, and the yellow blossoms are
dyed green, red and white and woven
into wreaths by special workmen in
readiness for Ali Saints or All Souls
days, when all good Parisians visit
their relatives graves. On these '4fetes
des morris the gates of the cemeteries
are beset with crowds of dealers in inn
mortelle wreaths, wire crosses and bead
crowns. At Pere Ia Chaise alone more
than 100000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of i'm
mortelle wreaths varies from 10000 to
$4,000 Golden Penny.
