'rhe : . ' are the Halr ' Ainu , and although numhers of their settlements have from time to Hme been visited b ) ' travelers. most of the Inhabitants have bcen living In a aeml-clvll.lzed state Very few have seen the true Ainu , aa they are still to be seen , living In . barharlc Htylo on the wildest. parts or Yezo Island. Among various writers wllo hn.ve contributed to the Hteraturo on the subject of the Alnus , no one has given a more graphic description of these natives than 1\11' . A , II. Sav. age Landor. He had provlousl ' completed - : . pleted a long and arduolls journey , which embraced a tour of the \vholo \ coast of Y zo and part of the Kurllo islands. during which he spent many months studying the hahlts and customs - toms of these quaint people. Although the IIresent writer has also visited parts of Yew. and traveled along the whole length of the Kurlle Inlands , he tloes not attempt , In ouch an article as tbls. to do more than touch brlefiy up' :111 : one or two customs of the Ainu. As their name suggests , they are a race af exceedlngb' hairy people. The men ! ; row great beards , of which they are , xce slvely proud , and their bodies are ! hlckb' covered with hall' , almost like ' 11embers of the monkey tribe , The women grow no hall' on their faces , ( Jut seem to find a Eolace for this : maglnary defect In tattooing mous- aches on th lr lips , and orten prlml. tlve designs on their hands and arms Bnd also across their forehemlR , Young unmarried women have very little tattooing on them : but , 011ce a wom. an is married , her husband seems to take a pride In decorating his brldo with represrmtatlo11s or hirsute adorn ment. ' 1'he modus operandi Is one which requires consldOl'alJle fortitude on tli' ) IJnrt of the patient. since the crudest form of tattooing Is adopted , This consists of mnklng a number of IncIsions In the slcln with the point of a knife , CutLle-finh 1Ilack , 01' smoJC black Is then rubbed into the wounds , and the operation sets up great In. flammatlon of the IIIS. and fs ver ' palnrul. A charactCl'lstic oC the AI lI1 race Is the color of their skin , which Is of a deep bronze 01' COpp l. color , and In nowise resemIJles any other of the oriental races , but Is more like that or the American red Indians. 'rho Ainu have no records , wrltton or otherwise - erwise , of their former history , 1101' of how and whence the ' come to Inhabit the Island or Yezo. These matters seem unknow to them , [ lnd even to anthr pologlsts. Legends , however , exist among certain of the Ainu to the effect that many years ago Yezo , was Inhabited by a race of diminutive leople who were conquered , and apparently - parently extormlnated , by the Ainu. 'I'hese lIeople were called by the Ainu ' } { ol'o.pok.kurn , or pit-dwellers , owIng Ito their habit or living 1n huts con , 'structed over a form of rectangulal' , circular , or oval-shaped pit , many traces or which arc IItlll : found In Yezo and the Kurlle Islan s. A few ) 'ears ago the present writer also discovered on the Behring sea coast of Alaska some vcrr perfect remains of a pit , dwellers' village , which Is quite unlike any settlements made to-day by tlu ; Eskimo or Aleut natives or Alaska , 'rho Alnus claim that at some remot < period they were tbemselves the In. .

'rhoy say , "Why I If we did not come from a cold coun try , should wo need to have skins IIk { ! \ bear ? " It Is possible that they dll : mIgrate southwards rrom the shores 0 ] the Behring sea , either b ' way of tlu Aloutlan Isln.nds , or along the coasts 0 : Kamtchatka and the Kurlles.
