The Alnus, aboriginal race of Ja pan, live In the Island of Yeddo, al though the race has become so reduced that there are now not more than 10,000 or 17,000 of them left In the country. The most noticeable peculiar ity about Ainu women is that they bare tattooed upon their upper and lower lips what resembles a mustache. The women are not considered attrac tive, and their matrimonial prospects are quite injured without this decora tion. The mustache Is begun when the girl is quite a child. It is done grad ually, a little each year, until It ex tends partly across the cheek., the ma terial used being the soot from burning birch bark. The face is cut and the black rubbed in. Afterward it is washed in a solution of ash bark liquor to fix the color. Shortstops and Errors. "Yon cau't be n good shortstop un less you make errors," says C. II Claudy In the Woman's Home Com panion. "Think a minute and you will under stand this apparently surprising state nient. Many an error In the error col umn saves a score In the score column. Thus the ball you try for may be just too fast for you to catch. Yet you may get enough hands on it to knock It down. The runner Is safe. But If you hadn't knocked It down he might be safe on second. Of course not all such knockdowns will be scored as errors. Tl e point is you can't afford to give any thought to whether you are going to make an error or not." 1 Sleeping on Puffs. Tin Japanese do not sleep on Euro peini beds, but on many thick, soft puffs piled one on lop of each other upon the floor.
