The Rlack-Facad Women of Alaska.

At Juneau, Alaska, the women and
children tripped down in their bare
feet, and sat around on the dripping
wharf with q recklessness that suggest
ed pneumonia, consumption, rheuma-
tism, and all those kindred ills from
which they suffer SO severely. Nearly
all of the women had their faces black
ed, and no one can imagine anything
moro friehtful and sinister on q melan-
choly day than to be confronted by one
of these silent, stealthy figures with
the great circles of the whites of the
eyes alone visible in the shadow Of the
blanket. A dozen fictitious reasons are
given for this face backing. One Of
the Indians says that the widows and
those who have suffered great sorrow
wear the black in token thereof. An
other native authority makes it sign
OF happiness, while occasionally gig
Cling dame confegscs that it is done to
preserve the complexion, Ludicrous as
this may seem to the bleached Cauca-
sian and the ladies Of rice-powdered
and enameled countenances, the ma
irons of high fashion and tho swell
damsels of the Thlinket tribes never
make canoe voyage without smearing
themselves we'll with the black dye that
they get from certain wild root of the
woods, or with paste Of SCOT and seal
OIL On sunny and windy days on shore
they protect themselves from tan and
sunburn by this same inky coating. On
feast days and the great occasions,
when they wash off the black, their
compilations como out as fair and
creamy white as the palest of their
japanese cousins acoss the water, and
the women are then seen to be some six
shades lighter than the tan-colored and
ffee-colored lords of their tribe. The
specimen woman at Juneau wore thin
calico dress and thick blue blanket.
Her feet were bare, but she was COM
pensated for that loss Of gear by the
turkey-red parasol that she poised over
her head with all the complacency OF a
Mount Deseret belle. She had black
ened her face to the edge OF her eyellds
and the roots of her hair; she wore the
full parure Of silver nose-rlng, llp-rlng5
and earrings, with five silver bracelets
on each wrist and fifteen rings orna-
mentng her bronze fingers, and a more
thoroughly proud and self-satisfied crea-
ture never arrayed herself according
to the behests Of high fashion. Cor.

Suryiyals,

The two little splints in the horses
foot could never be accounted for on
the principle that every part of an
animal is now as it was from the be-
ginning, and has its uses. They are
perfectly useless. but they are the last
remains of toes that were very useful
to the ancestors of The horse. The
world is full Of such useless organs,
each replete with historical interest.
The muscle that moves the ear in q
quadrupcd is present in man; but, rs a
rule. he cannot use it, and it would be
useless to him if he could Of what
use are the two buttons upon the back
Ola coat? None; but in the days when
it was the mark of 4 gentleman to
carry q sword they served to secure the
sworC-bclt.
The article man makes present or
every hand, these survivals from pre-
yious fashions. Sham laccs on boots,
buttons down fronts that do not open,
buckles on bands that are fixed, neck
wear in the form of ties but secured by
other methods, are cases in point.
Nature works in the same way that man
does; or, rather, since man is part of
nature he works by NATURES methods.
Changes are gradual; one Of a series Of
bones, muscles, teeth, ETC., that is used
more than the other increases in bulk,
while its ncighbors diminish and per-
haps finally disappear. II an animal
acquires added powers in one direction
because of circumstances that press it
in that direction, it loses it in another,
1t is so with mind also. Do we not
know that after long application to one
class of subjects probably the most
useful to us-we lose much of what
we previously knew PAiladeloaia

President Robinson, of Brown Uni
ytrsty, writes in his report to the cor.
poration: Years and years of closest
study are given to other tongues, both
ancient and modern, tongues which
only fraction of educated men are ex.
pected to use in after life, while only
incidental and comparatively superd-
cial attention is given to that mother
tongue which all are compelled to use
in speech or in writing every day OF
their lives, and on skillful use OF
which with many depend to no small
degree their success or failure in life.
The fact cannot be disguised that many
an excellent Latin and Greek scholar
writes wretched English, while admira-
BILE English is written by many who
know neither Latin nor Greek"
