On the Island oC Yezo In northern

Islands which extend northwards to.

'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 '

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. .
I hahltanta of some far northern cOlm
I tr ' , and as evidence of this they clt <
I their hairy bodies. 'rhoy say , "Why
I If we did not come from a cold coun

mIgrate southwards rrom the shores 0 ]
the Behring sea , either b ' way of tlu
Aloutlan Isln.nds , or along the coasts 0 :
