WONDERS OF THE NORTH.
The Prehistoric Age Of Alnska-Inter-
esting Discoveries in one of the AIe,s-
tian Islands.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
The last regular meeting Of the California
Dr.. v. r. Dali, Of the United States Coast Sur
vey, read all interesting report Of the e1p1ora-
tions made by him on the island OF Unalaska,
one Of the Aleutian chain. He illustrated
his report BY frequent tent ,;ta reference nc to
Of the articles excavated by him in his
researches on that ice-bonnd shore. In exca-
vating for the erection Of signal on the island,
he found various articles which led him to sup
pose that the locality had at one time been in
habited, and upon continuing his excavations
and researches he became convinced, by the
character Of the articles found, that the theory
Was correct. He unearthed, in mound On the
northern end of the island, several ancient
Aleutian hqts or houses, in which he found three
human skeletons in state Of perfect preserve
ton. The bodies we're found doubled up, after
the custom OF the Aleutians, and were il s. sep
arate compartment, peculiarly constructed, and
exactly like the tombs made BY the Aentians Of
the present time. The Doctor also found num-
Der of relics in tho subter1anean houses, includ-
ing lamps full Of oil, etone knives, bone
spoons, arroW-heads, buttons, etc. Continu-
ing. his explorations during the winter and
spring, he discovered the cites and remains of
seven ancient villages On the island. Of OWL Which h
only two we're formerly known even to tradition.
he also made some interesting discoveries in
regard to the modes Of burial observed by this
PREHISTORIC race. He says: " In certain places
~ suo Aoot " pfoiAauRtnG cuHe Wall has been
pullt up until the rock above was reached, and
outside bank Of earth or turf covered thje wall
In the space inside the debris had then been re-
moved, and in this space, on 8 layer Of small
sticks Of driftwood the bodies had been laid one
above the other. In one case found ai1 akeie
tons, one above the other, separated only by the
layers Of sticks and piece Of grass mnttine nj i
similar to that still manufactured By tho natiyess
of Una1aska." In another place he found
small case, about 20 feet in diameter, tllroueh
the crevices OF which water was dripping. N
this he found the remains Of seven human skele-
tons arranged around the sides Of the case.
OF his discoveries in this tomb by the sea, the
Doctor says: "Near one Of the skeletons WAS
found, heaped together, a number Of stone

I pumice, and the other Of fine eand-stone. With
! their edges and surfaces smoothed and squared,
evidently TOR the purpose Of dressing down the
! aspe1ues OF skins to be used for clothing. The
most interesting collection WAS found near the
skeleton OF the woman, and consisted Of. two
bone labrets shaped like those now in use among
the Ihllnkets Z aud Botocudos. These are,
oouo.lese, very ancient, as all traces Of the
besides lot of needles, made of the wing bones
OF olras needle case, made oe the humoras Of
some large bird, closed at each end hy wooden
stopper, bone avis, stone sniVes, q MILESTONE OF
hne-gra1ned sand.rock, and little case of biroh
bark containing plumbago. Neither the birch,
the sandstone. nor the black slate of which the
knives were made, nor the plumbago, exist On
he island of UnalaskA.
As proved BY other researches on the Islands
of Kadiak and Unga, the early .Aleuts were ac-
eminent dead by removing the yiscera, stufing
the body with dry grass and drying it. This was
placed IN eomo dry cave, dressed az in life, orna-
mcnted with gay apparel and covered with wood
en- carvings, the most remarkable of which we're
masks Of large size painted Of different colors
and ornam onted with feathers, tufts Of hair, and
brist1es from the deer. A very great variety Of
other carvings we're also placed in these caves,
and sometimes the bodies, placed in natural atti-
tudes. were covered entirely with carved wooden
armor, or placed in aminiature canoe or bidarka,
armed as if hunting or holding a paddle. Women
were represented as if sewing, dressing skins. or
nursing their infants. Old men as # beating
their drums, as they do during the Winter.
But few Of these remains exist in We71-nra.
served condition, yet the extent Of the practice
may be understood from the fact that over thirty
different masks, all more or lsss mutilated, were
found IN one cave at Unga. ANY notes in regard
them possess q certain interest. and NAV be

ONL YA WORD.

A frivolous word, n sharp retort
parting in angry haste
The sun that rose on bower OF bliss.
The loving look and the tender kiss,
Has sent on barren waste,
Where the pill lgrlms tread with weary feet
Paths destined never more TO meet,
frivolous word, n sharp retort,
A moment that blots out years,
Two lives are wrecked on stormy shore
Where billows of passion surge and roar
To break In spray of tears
Tears shed to blind the severed pair,
Drifted seaward, and drowning there.
A frivolous word n sharp retort,
A flush from passing cloud,
Two hearts are Scathed to their iumo5t core
Are ashes and dust forever moie.
Two faces turn to the crowd,
Masked by pride with lifelong lie,
TO hide the scars of that agony,
A frivolous word a sharp retOrl,
Anarrow at random sped
II has cut In twain the mystic tie
That had bound two souls In harmony
Sweet love lies bleeding or dead.
poisoned shaft with scarce an aim,
Has done n mischief sad as shame.
frivolous word, IA sharp retort,
Alas! for the loves aud lives
SO little cause has rent apart,
Tearing the fondcst heart from heart
As the whirlwind rends and rives.
Never to reunite again,
But live and die in secret pain.
frivolous word, a sharp retOrt
Alas! that II should he SO

Have wrought more evil and more wronS,
Have brought to the world more woe,
Than all the armies age to age

A GOOD STORY.

"I never did see such a sight il

waiting her two rheumatism-twisteC
old hands in the air. "Dust OF

in the conservatory windows al
broken; chickens scratching up all

and the lazy servants dawdlins

don't know any more what's going
on than if they were boarders. Say,

er." Says he, Mrs. Marley, you've
hit the nail on the head. I'll advcr-
tise tomorrow" And that's how
that paragl aph happened to be in
the paper" !"
Here Mrs. Marley stopped to
catch breath, and nodded emphati-
cally at her auditor, pale woman
dressed in deep mourning with the
unbeceming framework ofa widows
cap around her face.
"And do you think | would suit
the gentleman 7" the latter asked
timidly.
"You can but try" was Mrs.
Narloy's encouraging response.
"Mr. AvenePs as easy as a lamb,
and not one O. them as is everlast
ingly checking off bills and count
ing nickel pennies, and Harry's
dreadful pleasant tempered. Any
way, if was you, Mrs. Hawkhurst,
I'd go up and see"
And Mrs. Hawkhurst, holding her
pretty little daughter by the hand,
went up accordingly to the hand

There she found Mr.. Avencl in a
state Of temporary siege for others

to answer it. There were fat wo-
men and lean, tall women and short,
Scotch women and Germans, smil-
ing slovenly women and trim, sharp
visaged women; women who had
seen better days, and women who
evidently hadn't.
Mrs. Hawkhurst looked around
somewhat discouraged by the form
idable array of rivals.
"There's no hope for me-" she
thought despairingly, and was just
about to turn away with the timid
Juliet clinging to her hand, when
Harry Avenel advanced.

ma'am ?" he asked courteously.

gage Mrs. Hawkhurst as his house
keeper, with permission to keep Ju-

housekeeper, apologctically, "and
she will try to be useful about the

over good humoredly. "She'll eat
no more than a chicken, and | dare

AS she stood there, leaning over

sounded behind her.

gaze very steadfastIy on the green
turf at her feet, whore a single yel-
low dandelion was closing its eye of
dawny gold for the night.
"Listen !" cried Harry, triumph
antly. "Pve got piece of news
for YOU"
"What should you think of step
father, oh, little one?"
Juliet looked up this time in real
and genuine astonishment
"A stcpfather, Harry ?"
"My uncle has confded to me
this evening that he thinks of mar
rying, Juliet, and from all that
can gather, the bride is none other
than your mother. So when we are
married there will be II nice little
tamil y circle Of us, eh ?"
And the audacious young man
belted her slender waist with his
arm, and venturcd to draw her lit
tie closer to him.

Avenels dark face frightened into
once again. "And you

uncle is an old fool; and yet | can't
blame him, Juliet, when l look at
your sweet face"
The countenanco Of Mr.. Avcner
was slightly confused when he met
his nephew at the breakfast table
the next morning, but, further than
that, there was no sign Of the dis
comfture he had undergone. He |
gave Juliet an exquisite set of we'd
ding pearls when she was married,
and congratulated Harry after a
very cordial fashion. But he never
proposed to Mrs. Hawkhurst, and
as she never expected anything of
the sort, no harm was done.
And everything goes on at Avcn-
