collected indefatigably the quaint

the definitions that Mr.. Coudert
would read from it:

The important Functions Of THE va.
tsry Sserstisn.

,
tsry Secretion.
The perspiration is a watery Sc
cretion of certain curiously coiled
| glands in the skin. 1t used to be
thought that it served a useful pur.
pose in removing waste matters
from the system, and there is nc
doubt that it does so in a measure,
/ but it cannot compare in this re-
spect with the secretion Of the kid
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
solid part is chiefly chloride of So
dium, which gives it the well known
salty taste. It's function ia to mois-
ten the superficial layer Of cells in
the skin and so facilitate their re-
moval.' But its chief use ID believ-
ed to be to regulate the tempera-
ture Of the body and prevent, by
evaporation, excessive and danger
GUS heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature of the
air, exercise and the amount Of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces q day.
1t varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion Of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinari-
ly evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on the skin. This is called the in
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the sensi-
bic perspiratlon.
1t is decreased in amount in GER
tain diseases, such as diabetes, in
which the kidney secretion is ener-
mously increased, and IN ichthyosis,
a dry, sealy disease of the skin.
Increased perspiraticu may be
purely nervous in origin, rs seen nm
the beads on the forehead of one
who is embarrassed, or the cold
sweat of fear or some other power
full emotion. In some cases the in
creased perspiration is localized In
the hands and feet. If this is an
expression of general weakness, ton
les and good food may correct the
condition, but usually local treat
ment is called for. Immersing the
palms of the hands or the soles OF
the feet in water as hot as it can be
borne for about FIVE minutes and
then, after drying, busting them
with very finely powdered borie
acid is often of great service.
The moist hand may be kept dry
by frequent application to the
palms of a saturated solution OF
boric acid in cologne water.
The perspiration that occurs at
night in consumption and other dis,
eases, accompanied with hectic fe-
yer, is often very distressing. The
quantity of water exuded is some
times enormous, soaking not only
night clothes, but the entire bedding
and mattress. If the patients con-
dition will permit, hot bath OF
four or five minutes duration at
bedtime will sometimes prevent or
lessen night sweats. If this is not
permissible, sponging with hot vine
gar and water may be tried. A glass
of milk and half dozen crackers
taken at midnight will also occasion
ally be found useful. - Youths

Manners and custsms, OF tks Hsiry
Aiavs Of Tsxo.

Anus Of Ysxe.
Among the least known people Of
the world today are the hairy Anus
Of the island of Yezo. A traveller
says of them: '"rhs men grow great
boards, of which they are excessively
proud, and their bodies are thickly
covered with hair, almost like mem
bers of the monkey tribe. The wo-
men grow no hair on their faces,
but seem to find a solace for this
imaginary defect in tattooing mus
taches on their lips and often prim-
tive designs on their hands and
arms and also across heir fore
heads. Young unmarried women
share very little stattoeing On them,
bat once d woman is married her
husband seems to take a pride in
decorating his bride with repre-
sentations Of 'kifsute ''adornmsnt.
The modus operandi is one which
requires considerable fortitude ON
the part Of the patient, since the
crudest form Of tattooing is adopt
ed. This consists of making. a mum:
Der of incisions in the skin with the
point of knife. A characteristic
Of the Ainu race is the color of their
skin, which is of deep bronze or
copper color, and in nowise resem-
bles any other of the oriental races,
but is more like that of the Ameri-
can Indians.
L. "The Aipus have no records, writ
ten or otherwise, Of their former
history nor Of how and whence they
came to inhabit the island of Yezo.
Legends, however, exist among GER
tain of the Anus to the effect that
many years ago Yezo was inhabited
by a race of diminutive people who
were conquered and apparently ex-
terminated by the Ainus. These
people were called by the Ainus
Koro-pok-kuru, or pit dwellers, ow-
ing to their habit of living in huts
constructed over form of rectan-
gular, circular or oval shaped pit,
many traces of which are still found
in Yezo and the Kurile islands. A
few years ago the present writer
also discovered on the Bering sea-
.coas of Alaska some perfect re-
rnains of a pit dwellers' village,
WHICH is quite unlike any settle
ments made today by the Eskimo or
Aleut natives of Alaska.
'The Anus claim that at some
remote period they were themselves
the inhabitants of some far north
ern>countrv, and as evidence of this
they cite their hairy bodies. They
say, why, if we did not come from
a cold country, should We need to
have skins like bear?' 1t is pos
sible that they did migrate south-
ward from the shores of the Berlng
sea either by the way Of the Aleu-.
tan islands or along the coasts OF
Kamchatka and the kuriles.
'Iike certain other northern
races, the Anus have no religion.
They have no knowledge of "a sd'
preme being and no belief in q fu:
ture state. Mr.. Landor, who ques-'
toned many natives on various sub
jects, was once scornfully told by
one of them that the Anus are
taught nothing and they know moth

state in which they live" Chicago

The fraternity ideas, as we have it
in the modern college, is composite
one. 1t originates in two elements,
and each has contributed its influ-
ence. First. it is revival of militant
brotherhoods.
Christianity was from the first eX-
elusive. In the early days of pcrse-
cution. we find the Christians living
apart. worshiping in catacombs, hav-
ing intercourse only with those OF
their own faith and even holding
property communally. This was not
so much from desire for safety as
from the basic idea that the world was
inferior: others than Christians were
to them Pagans. and any contact with
them in their life was not only dis
tracting but also, actually, defiling.
On the empire, as Il political unit,
becoming Christian. ut least noml-
nally. after Constantine EdIct OF
Milan. 323 \. d.. great change OF
conditions cnsucd. naturally. and the
old body of strict Christians was sur
rounded by II vast multitude OF nomi-
nal Christians whom they must assim-
ilate. and treat in every way as mem
bcrs of II common faith. or course,

broke down the old aloofncss of the
. Christmas. and mt the same time car
ricd into their body all the criminal
practices. license. debauchery. super
stition. rites. ideas and privileges of n
hundred. long degenerate cults with
which the late empire had become IN
fcctcd.
No sooner does this occur than we
find bodies of strict Christians absent
iny themselves from the rest. not in
deed as bodies at first. but as individ
uals who gradually drew together in
their aloofneSs from the rest of their
fellows. Thus we have the era of the
anchoritcs. or separate hcrmitS. like
ST. Anthony and st. Brazillius. fol
lowed by the age of monastic settle
mentS. and this again by the forma-
ton of individual monastcrics where
all the monks in locality lived to-
gcthcr under one roof. This necessi-
tatcd organization. \ head had to be
chosen, and a compact OF obedience to
officers and regulations entered into.
SO the brotherhood came to be bound
by vows to the exercise of the Chris
tian virtues. to love one another and
to abstain from vice. to be Obedient
and to hold all things in common
Benedict introduced the rule of cell
bacy as best fitted to close organiZa-
ton. Gradually. the separate monas
tcrics in different parts were drawn
together by some common bond-a
common founder or one mOnastery's
being mission of another, or iden-
tity of patron saints, and so grew up
the orders of monks. connecting whole
systems of monastcries into brother
hood made up of separate chapters.
