Art Regions and Trihes.

Raymond Lee Newcomb, the naturalist
of the Jeanette expedition, in the Long
Island Historical society's hall in Brook
lyn, gave familiar talk about "Arctic
regions and tribes.n Mr.. Newcomb first
described the natives of st. Michaels
island. Their habits, he said, had in a
great measure been explained to him by
Alexai, who was himself one of the ma
tives. and who became member of the
crew. He described AleXai as so much
of man as to have laid down his life for
his commander. The inhabitants of St.
Michael's had, like people all over the
world, place of general resort or rendez-
vous, where they took it easy, smoked,
danced or worked on skins, according to
their inclinations. The lecturer gave a
description of their huts, which, he said,
were rough, barren structures, with u
hole eight feet square in the middle for
the fire, and seats made of logs on which
the occupants perched themselves. The
women in sewing used knives instead of
scissors. Tobacco was in great demand
among the natives. Except in rare in
stances it was not manufactured tobacco.
They wore amulets and pieces of bone in
different parts of the face. He remem-
bered Alexai to have put a collar button
in his mouth, and to have seen it come
out of one of the holes in his face. The
children wear beads of all colors and
kinds. He saw little girls with strings
of glass beads hanging from their noses
and ears. AS far as work went the
women did their share. The administra-
ton of public affairs was looked after
mostly by the men.
An ordinary day on the Jeanette was
then described. There was sameness
about everything that transpired on board.
For breakfast they had oatmeal and
canned mutton, and for great while po-
tatoes, Then there was st. Michael's
salmon, and while it and the potatoes
lasted the meals were immensely enjoyed.
When they had to rely altogether on the
canned mutton their appetites fell off.
Fresh flour was aboard and the steward
knew how to make excellent bread
After leaving the ship the butter, bread
and sugar disappeared from the meals

Ancient DYeing.

The use of colors was certainly known
to the Americans from the most remote
antiquity. The ochres, soot-black and
lime doubtless furnished them their first
coloring elements, and there was nothing
in the idea of using these pigments above
the most primitive conceptions. EXper-
iment induced a rapid progress, and men
learned to extract vegetable colors from
leaves, fruits, roots, stems and seeds. A
coloring-matter was also borrowed, like
the Tyrian purple, from sea-mollusks.
The Heruvians and the Mexicans knew
how to place the colors upon their cloths.
The goods were then exposed to the
action of the light, and tints varying
from a delicate rose color to dark violet
were obtained. The colors were so well
fixed that they were not even modified
by the decomposition of dead bodies In
the collection of cloths from the Peruvian
huacas at the museum of the Trocadero.

have been prepared for centuries still re-

WISE WORDS.

Every base occupation makes one sharp
in its practice, and dull in every other.
There is class of men ever ready TO
pump you to any extent, if you only give
them handle.
Honest a.d courageous people have
very little to say about either their cour'
age or their honesty. '-s.
Where the people are well educated,
the art Of plotting state is best learned
from the writing of Plato.
As ceremoney is the invention of wise
men to keep fools at distance, so good
breeding is an expedient to make fools
and wise men equals.
Oh, strange caprice of fate, that a ship
which has outlived the lightnings and
tempests of the sea, should be wrecked in
quiet harbor at last
Whether religion be true or false, it
must be necessarily granted to be the only
wise principle and safe hypothesis for a
man to live and die by.
To be happy, the passions must be
cheerful and gay, not gloomy and melan-
choly. A propensity to hope and JOY is
real riches; one to fear and sorrow, real
poverty.
The everyday cares and duties, which
men call drudgery, are the weights and
counter-poises of the clock of time, Civ
ing its pendulum a true vibration, and its
hands a regular motion.

How a Big City Was Bought.

A Melbourne letter. to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle contains this. Recently,
in the Melbourne,public library--a mag
niicent institution Il inspected two
formal legal deeds, by which eight chiefs
conveyed to John Batman, the William
Penn of Victoria, 600, 900 acres, "more
or less" ," of land, in consideration of "20
pairs of blankets, 30 knives, 100 toma-
hawks, 80 pairs of scissors, 30 looking
glasses, 200 handkerchiefs, 100 pounds
acres of tract, and for the other of 100,-
600 acres "20 pairs of blankets, 30
knives, 10 tomahawks, 10 looking glasses,
10 pairs of scissors, 90 handkerchiefs, 12
red shirts, flannel jackets, 4 suits Of
clothes, 80 pounds of flour" 1t was
added that certain number of similar
articles were to be given annually as a
rental, such as would amount to $1,000,
and finally it is said to be "dated accord
ing to the Christian era, this 9th day of
June, 1885"
That was the year in which Melbourne
was founded. Not yet fifty years old
and already the ninth city of the British
empire in population Batman was a
fairly good man, but his ideas in the way
of buying land were too large in proper
tion to his ideas for paying for it. His
purchase was not much respected; wor-
ried to death by litigation, he died four
years after his contract with the chiefs.
His descendants are poor, toiling people.
His story ought to be written on a mon
ument, in order that they who 90 forth
to New Guinea and other regions may re-
member that there is an ambition that
o'er-leaps its ''sell, or saddle, and falls
on the other side. At the same time
there is a respectable fact beneath this
new agitation for annexing the adjacent
islands; it is that the Australias are
growing a Monroe doctrine and that they
can rest it on much the same grounds as
our Monroe doctrine rests on.

Buzzards in a Southern City.

A Charleston Is. C.) correspondent
says: Well do / recall visit made early
in the morning to the city market one
year ago, and my surprise to see such
tiocks of these ungainly birds hopping
about, picking up the scraps. The mar
ket-keeper, noticing my interest, com
municated to me marvellous stories of
their intelligence, and what l then saw
was really corroborative in part of his
story. The birds were collected on the
peaked roof of the market-house, and
they did not seem to be in any
hurry to come down to the street to
gather the scraps of meat which the
butchers had rejected. l asked him
why they did not-were they afraid
She hasn't come yet, surp "Who q"
'Why, the inspector, sur. Them buz.
yards don't dare touch nothin' till he in
spects," and presently he spoke up,
''Here he comes," and / looked up the
street, marveling much what kind of
yarn l was getting, for what had a
market inspector to do with a lot of
carrion birds2 My confidence was fast
vanishing. ''Not there, sur, up there;
don't you see him2" All 1 saw in the
direction he indicated was a few buz-
yards flying toward the market. "That's
him-watch him." l saw buzzard
alight on the roof, and the color of his
head was different 1t was reddish,
and did sec this fellow hop around,
then down he came to the street, and
presently the whole of the flock fol-
lowed.
The market man, still pointing out
the inspector" suggested to me that if
would buy some meat at a neighboring
stall he would show me how tame they
were, and perhaps they suspected that |
came from land where man was not on
friendly terms with the buzzard family.
''Them birds, )" said he, "knows MORN
some men; they knows the day
of the week, and when SUNDAY
comes just like a Christian,
and up at the slaughter pens they can
pick out the fat cattle and wait for him. :"
The scraps Of meat being purchased, he
selected two of the toughest chunks and
tied them at each end of string about
six feet long, casting this in the street.
The birds fought in punches for the
chunks, one trying TO pull one way,
another the other way; they would hold
the cord with their feet like a DOG. till
finally one more courageous or hungry
than the rest swallowed one chunk, the
string hanging out of his mouth; the
rest tugged at the other chunk of meat,
Our gourmahd braced himself and tried
to keep his chunk where it was doing
the most good, but his grip was not
strong enough; he could not bite off the
string. A strain at the cord by the other
side-a distended neck. "IIes lost it, -
cried the market man-and the much
coveted morsel returned to terra firma, to
be once more fought for, and so this
black, unsayory company Of birds, hop
ping sideways, jostling each other with
their distended wings, fought aud quar-
reled for their breakfast.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Many of the hair dressings of the day are
excellent, but the great mass of the stuifs sold
for promoting the growth and bringing back
the original color, are mere humbugs, while
not few are pernicious in their effects upOn
the scalp and hair. The falling out OF the hair.
the accumulations Of dandrufr, and tho pre-
mature change in color are all evidences of
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well
as chemical virtues, and the change must be-
gin under the scalp to be of permanent and
lasting benefit. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary
results; but it is after the best refined article
has been chemically treated, and completely
deodorized, that it is in proper condition for
the toilet and receives the name of Carboline

ming the lamps had habit of wiping his
oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks and
the result was, in few months, much finer
head of black, glossy hair than he ever had
before. The oil was tried on horses and cattle
that had lost their hair from cattle plague, and
the results were marvellous The names and
Z tails of horses, which had fallen out, were
completely restored in few weeks These
experiments were heralde1 to the world, but
no one in civilized society could tolerate the
hair But the skill of one of our chemists has
overcome the difficulty, and he has succeeded
In perfecting Carboline rendering it as dainty
as the famous eau de cologne Experiments
ON the human hair and skin were attended
with the most astonishing results. A few ap-
plications, where the hair was thin and falling
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp
and the hair Every particle of dandruff disap-
pears ON the first or second dressing, all cuta-
neous disease of heskin and scalp are rapidly
and permanently healed, and the liquid seems
to penetrate to the root of the hair at once. 1t
is well known that the most beautiful colors
are made from petroleum, and by some mys-
terious operation of nature the use of this arti-
Gle gradually imparts a beautiful light brown
color to the hair, which by continued use deep
ems to black. The color remains permanent,
and the change is so gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect its pro-
gress. In u word, it is the most wonderful
discovery of the age, and well calculated to
make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
