Women With Mustachaa.
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. For bed covering they
use more of the same kinds of puffs
It Is said that the Japanese emperor
has twenty such puffs. One of tuo3e
which cover him is made In the shape
of a kimono and has a velvet collar.
Probably be creeps Inside of this If
he feels cold in the night.
China and Its People.
About 05 per eeut of the imputation
of China la confined to one-third of the
area of the country, with a density of
200 to the square mile. Five per cent
of the population Inhabits 05 per cent
of the area, with a density of ten to
the square mile.
Dainty Box.
In Sicily one frequently sees dainty
little circular boxen, pale yellow In col
or, painted In heraldic designs and
giving off the sweet smell of oranges.
They are used for plus, small Jewels or
collar buttons and are, lu fact, orange
skins.
Doubts and Dont's.
Remember Talleyrand's adrift, "If
you are In doubt whether to write a
letter or not don't!" The advice ap
piles to many doubts In life besides
that of letter writing. Uulwer Lytton.
As long as yon refrain from saying
anything you keep the other fellow
guesting.
