An extraordinary occupation that many of the very poor follow In Japan Is that of the osatori, or bait catcher, who spends his days gathering angle worms. We say "his," continues the account In the Japan Magazine, but the bait diggers are as often women as men. The Japanese angleworm la not taken from the soil, as Is the case In occidental countries, but from the black mud of the rivers and canals. Tokyo Is a great place for this call ing. The city has numerous stream* and canals connected with tidewater, and as soon as the tide begins to ebb you can see women with their basket! and their mud forks climbing down the stone facings of the canals, plung ing their legs into the deep mud and picking up the wriggling red angle worms that they dig out of the mud. These worms are a somewhat differ ent species from the earthworm. They ar» slightly stouter, with jointed bod ies and peculiar mustacbed months. The receptacles for the captured worma are baskets or tubs with covers that contain small square openings through which the women drop the worms ai they pick them up. Aa soon as the bait baskets or tuba are full the wo men take them to the shop and sell them. The bait shop deals In bait only, and from these establishments the fish ermen buy worms for their hooks. The amount that the angleworm catchers can make daily Is very small, not more than 40 sen for each worker but It helps out In the household ex penses. In the summer weather th« work Is not hard, although it Is cer talnly hot, with the sun beating dowi on the stooping form and reflected from the wet mud and water. In tlx colder weather, however, it is mor< trying, for® the bait catcher has t< stand for hours in the freezing mud. Diseases thai are the result of theii calling are frequent among the bafi women,'especially beriberi aud dropsy The Japanese regard bait digging ai the most miserable way of getting I living known to mortal man.
