The Anus, the Celtic race Of
Japan, live in the island Of Yeddo,
although the race has become SO re-
duced that there are now not more
than sixteen or seventeen thousand
of them left in the country. The
most noticeable popularity about
Ainu women is that they have tat
tooed upon their upper and lower
lips what resembles mustache. The
women are not considered attractive,
and their matrimonial prospects are
quite injured, without this decora-
ton. The mustache is begun when
the girl is quite child. 1t is done
gradually, a little each year, until It
extends partly across the cheek, the
material used being the SCOT from
burning birch bark. : Theface is cut
and the black rubbed'in. Aftcrward
II il washed in solution Of ash-bark
liquor to fix the color. The Ainu
women are usually finely. formed,
straight and well-deyeloped,. with
small hands and feet. Their eyes are
a beautiful brown, their hair black
and most luxuriant, and their COM
plexion olive, with often deep, rich
color in their cheeks. The native
cloth--of which their garments are
made-is woven from the fiber of the
bark Of the elm tree.

Water Hole 10 Dry by Day.

A curious form OF water-hole "
found in the deserts Of western Aus
tralia, dry by day but yielding en-
abundant supply Of water by night.
The flow Of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred In a
long. narrow trench, at the bottom OF
which was a thin plate Of gneiss "a
species Of rock arranged In layers),
separated by a cavity from the main
rock mass beneath. Apparently the
heat of the day causes this plate to
expand in the form of a depression,
in which the water retreats. When It
cools and contracts at night It forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

LIVED AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE
Captain seIous Completely Happy
When He Was Entirely Out Of
Touch With Civilization.

The remarkable career of the late
Captain Selous, d. S. o., the famous
hunter and explorer, who at the age
of sixty-fve died fighting for his
country, fills every schoolboy with a
longing desire for adventure.
He was only twenty years of age
when he went to Matabeleland, in
days when railways were unknown
there, and when the interior of the
country was a sealed book to the
European. For years he was in un-
known countries, hunting elephants,
lions and other animals, and at one
period he was nearly three years
without seeing a newspaper, a tele-
gram, or any kind of money. Yea
he was perfectly happy. He spent
nearly quarter of century of his
life penetrating the interior Of
South Africa. Then he went to Alas
Eka on a 15,000-mile tour in search
of moose and caribou. - 40

shrewd, dryly humorous Allan Qua
termain Of Rider Haggard's famous

copyrighted. 1914 by Thomas J. sullivan.l
A book with pictures and a book
without pictures differ nearly as much
as room with windows and a room
without windows. for pictures are loop
holes of escape to the soul. leading 1t
to other scenes and spheres where the
fancy for the moment may revel, re-
freshed and delighted. They are win
dows Of imprisoned thought.
A picture Is invariably an exaggera-
ton Of the object reproduced. and. gen

Is or psesptlvs Value. .
The deceptive value Of drawings or
paintings over photography Is recog-
nized By no one more fully than by the
great catalogue houses. hence their
adoption OF the most expensive method
Of displaying their goods to the public.
well knowing that photographs tell the
truth, so far as a correct pictorial re-
production Is concerned, and would not
be conducive to good business methods
when the goods offered are faulty. .
How many farmers would think OF
buying COW from a picture In a
newspaper or catalogue. with just a
name and description under 1t? or
course the description would say that
the COW was a fine black and white
COW, weight 800 pounds and so many
hands high. free from blemishes and
offered at the reduced price Of $39.97
because Of a spot cash deal with a
stock farm which failed.
There is as much sense In pur-
chase of that nature as there is for
farmer to buy buggy, ''our own
brand" at $24.70 when he can get the
real article from his home dealer for
$25 and have the privilege Of inspect
ing It before buying. And no freight
to pay.

A Business injustice.

But did the farmer who made the
above remarks take everything into
consideration! Did he remember that
while the local business men are main
tanning markets for the farmers, assist
ing In making roads to these markets
and doing all they can to help the farm
er, the lnail order houses that have not
cent invested in his vicinity do not
buy a dollars worth Of the farmers
crops nor contribute cent to the wei
fare Of the community? Yet they are
getting a goodly portion Of the local
trade, and business men naturally feel
that it is an injustice. 1t is. and the
only way to overcome 1t Is by ADVER-
Using.

OF reason. Merchants generally Duy
their goods where they can get them
the cheapest. whether in Chicago. New
York or Asia. no matter how much OF
the same goods the farmer has to sell.
The price Is the first and last consider
alton. They fix the price Of what he
sells as well as what he buys. Can
the farmer be blamed for buying
where he can get the best bargains?
He wants to enjoy the same privilege
as the merchants do. Fair play is all
he wants"

Visit to Country Town.

Visit to Country Town.
Merchants should publish a COM
garrison of their prices with those Of
the retail catalogue houses-hght them
with their own weapons. While visit
ing country town recently the writer
made some investigations and discov.
cries. For example. a Chicago mall
order house was selling 100 pound
grindstOnes mounted for 1910. The
local merchant sold the same article
for 1928: freight from Chicago. IS
cents, making the mail order article
cost $685.: seam roofing, $2S5 In Chi
cago and $3.50 from the local mer-
chant. freight 10 cents per square 10
be added to the $2.S5, making 1t SO de
rvered: washing machines. 1886
against S3.75, freight 25 cents to be
added to the $685. These are facts
which every merchant can prove and
keep right on proving all the time.
Cash at Home Too.
Local merchants will quote prices on
goods so low that catalogue and mail
order houses cannot duplicate them.
But you must pay cash. Mall order
houses demand the cash In advance.
Why not pay the local merchant In ad-
vance? Besides. when you buy from
a catalogue you send your money
away from your home town. You buy
from picture and wait Oweek or
ten days for the goods to arrive; then
you open up your prize box to see
what you really have drawn In the
lottery and what you have to show
for your money. II you have drawn
one Of their "baits" you tell your
neighbors and friends about it--in fact,
you will tell every one about II. II

ARMY AND NAVY
TO BUILD A Yep
Joint Board Learns from
War That Rigid Type of
Airship Is Best
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Jan. s.-Ths United
States is TO have a Zeppelin. Construc
ton will be begun at once, the War and
Navy departments cooperating, on an
experimental airship Of this type.
The experience Of the European war
proves to the minds Of the army and
navy experts that the rigid type sir
ship is of the greatest value. both in
land and sea maneuvres. A joint com
mittee. representing the aeronautic
branches Of both services, the Genera
staff Of the army and the General
Board of the navy, recommended the
construction OF an experimental Zeppe
lin.
This was approved by Seeretarles
Baker and Daniels. The construction
will be under the direction OF joint
technical board. headed BY Chief Nsysl
Constructor Taylor. and composed Of
three officers from the seronauuc
branch Of each service. The cost will be-
shared equally between the army and
navy.
The giant airship probably will re-
quire as long 20 construct as a battle
ship. The cost has not even been es-
timated.
The navy has been trying for three
years to complete a semi-rlg.d airshfp
Of small type. but owing 10 the mex
perience Of American designers and
constructors the machine is still under
construction.

RASPUTM DIARY
TELLS HOW DUKE
TERRIFIED CAR
Says Emperor Was Soon Scared
Out of Granting Peasants
Rights

Rasputins diary saw the light OF day
yesterday IN the "Warheit,' the Yiddish
daily in which Iliodor, the famous mad
monk" of Russia, IS conducting series
of revelations into the secrets Of Rus
sian court life, Of which he was until
recently member. At the same time
tho former monk tells some startling
anecdotes in the Day" rival Y iddish
newspaper, in which the Car IS de-
scribed as a man who IS no more than
a puppet in the hands OF those around
him.
Uiodor writes Of an incident in the
roval palace when the Gar, under lllo-
doris influence, advocated IN the pres
ence OF the members OF his family the
ownership of land by the peasants.
"Suddenlv." writes lliodor. Grand
Duke Nicholas arose, tore his coat and
shirt. and, full OF anger, shouted to
the Gar: You want 10 take the SHIRTS
Oft our backs.
Uiodor points out that the Car be-
came frightened, adjourned the meeting
and since then has never made another
attempt TO distribute land among the
neasants. The monk also tells OF an
effort made by Colonel Macziewsky and
others to assassinate the Grand Duke IN
a IA lroad train.
Uiodor quotes as follows from Ras-
putin's diary, now in his possession;

She knocked At the door. and when
there was no response called. like a

Still there was no reply, and Anna

o'clock he started for his parents
home.
The door was locked, and he got in

Of gas, which was escaping from a
broken pipe. Jacob Jacobs. in his skull
cap and his wife in her shawl and old
fashioned bonnet, all ready for their
walk, sat side by side. They had been
dead four hours, the ambulance sur
