Indian Women of Alaska.

In a Sitka (Alaska) letter a correspond
ent of the New York Times says of the
Indian women of that region: The
women weave beautiful baskets from the
fine fiber that they split from the inner
bark and roots of the cedar, and with
dyed grasses ornament them with geo
metricaI designs and whorls of gay
colors They keep the fiber damp while
at work, and the basket weaver has a
pan of water beside her and moistcns
the strands also in her mouth. Civilized
interference can be seen in this little
branch OF art, too, and magenta and ami
line dyes are taking the place of the
soft, pure colors that they obtained from
roots, sea weeds, and natural clays
These baskets are waterproof, and in
ancient days they cooked their food in
them with hot stones, and used them
for variety of purposes. They are
pretty souvenirs for the traveller, but the
round, gayly cOlorcd baskets, with the
mysterious rattle in their covers, have a
strong and abiding smell of smoke and
salmon that nothing can ever rid them
of. The women gather salmon berries in
the woods and bring them to market in
these native baskets, and groups OF berry
pickers are always lying and loungng
about the streets with their produce be-
fore them. They generally have theiI
faces blackened. and this strange custom
of the island tribes puzzles and interests
the stranger greatly. There are variety
of explanations for it, some saying that
it denotes sorrow. others ascrbing it tC
JOY or the fulillmcnt of vow, or a
warning of a dangerous state of mind
or a means of preserving their complex
ions from the wind, the glare of tho
water or snow, or as a protection from
mosquitoes. Men and women both smear
their faces with SCOT and seal oil wheI
they start of on long canoe journeys
and when they wash of the blackin9
their skins come out very fair anC

replied with sigh: "He would be well
come to it,"
Christmas came cold and sharp, but
the sun shone bravely, and all nature
seemed to smile a welcome. During the
forenoon Herbert and John started of
down the road, Herbert straight as
young sapling, John somewhat delicate in
appearance and triilc bent. Their
father, watching them out of sight was
reminded of that Christmas morning
when he and John walked off together.
Something in their manner toward each
other suggested the occasion most
wildly. Mr.. + alton impulsivcly started
for his hat and coat, but the absurdity
of the action struck him Immediately,
and he laughed at himself for an old fool.
"Thr idea" he said. "Gohn and |
quarrcled about Elizabeth. Those boys

piling great logs in the open fireplace of
the stting-room, and oh, haunting
thought, what had become Of his brother!
In the meantime the young men had
walked of rapidly and without speaking
for mile or more. Then they halted
suddenly and surveyed each other. Her
bert was the first to speak,
as there any use in asking you to

He had meant to lowe his weapon, but
in the added excitement OF the new
arrival he hal lost the remaining vcstigc

THE OLD YEARS BLESSING.

/ am fading from you,
But one draweth near,
Called the Angal-Guardian
OF the coming year.
If my gifts and graces
Coldly you forget,
Let the New Years angel
Bless and crown them yet.
If | gave you sickness,
If l brought you care,
Let him make one patience
And the other prayer.
If broke your idols,
Showed you they were dust
Let him turn the knowledge
Into heavenly trust.
If brought temptation,
Let sin die away
Into boundless pity
For all hearts that stray.
May you hold this angel
Dcaler than the last
SO | bless his future,
While lie crowns my past.
