Lieutenant Schwatka'S concludino
paper on his explorations of the Yukon
River, with many illustrations, ap-
pears in the October CetltuYY, supple
mented by an interesting Open Letter
on the domestic habits of the Cnilcat
Indians, by Mrs. Eugene S. Willard.
From Mrs. Willard's letter we quote
the following: Tho Chileat people
long ago gained for themselves the re-
putation OF being the most fierce and
warlike tribe in the Archipelago. Ger
tain it is that, between themselves and
southern Hy-dah, there is not another
which can compare with them in
strength, either rs TO numbers, intell-
gencc, physical perfection, or wealth
"A diseased pers on among the Chill
eats is rather the except on. and pros
titution rs defined by them is punish
able with death. At first thought their
marriage laws seem very elastic, but
such is not the case. Though they do
not bind tightly they bind strongly,
and the limits which are fixed are
fixed indeed. The children always la.-
long to their mother and are OF her to-
tenn. This to-temic relation is con-
sldered closer than that of blood. If
the fathers and mothers tribes be at
war the children must take the MATER
nal side, even if against their father.
1t is this law which makes illegal any
marriage between members of the same
tribe; though the contracting persons
may be entire strangers, and unable to
trace any blood relation. AT the same
time man may marry his half-sisier
tone having a different mother) or a
woman and her daughter-either at the
same time or consecutiyely; for plural
marriages are not uncommon. though
they are by no means general. La very
rare cases a woman has Two husbands,
oftener we find u man wilh two wives,
even threei but more frequently met
than either is the consecaii vile.

Female Plumbers.

book has recently been published in
| which il is said that the author advo-
Gates the right and duty of admitting
women to the plumbing as well as the
medical profession. 1t is proper that
women Should study medicine in order
to be abb, to take care of their own
health aid that of others of their sex it
is equalk proper that women should
study plumbing in order to protect the
health of members of their own house
hold. Doubtless this idea will meet
with favor among progressive women,
and before long we shall have female
student; of plumbing as well as female
students of medicine.
THERE'S no insuperable physical OBJ
stacle il the way of the practice of
plumbing by women. A woman could
call at tie house where pipes are fro
zen. and inform the household of her
acquies,ence in the theory that frost
will freeze water pipes almost as well
| as man could accomplish the same
feat. She could send an assistant fe-
male plumber to the shop for tools; she
could % home to dinner as soon as the
tools arrived, and later in the day she
could tar up the floor in the bath
room, and break the plastering in a
busineShke way. The matter of
''wiping joint, or of soldering fau-
Get is nDt beyond the physical ability of
woman although, of course, she would
burn hT fingers and set the house on
| fire VITA greater ease than man. She
could not take longer to do job than
does th, male plumber, and in all prob
ability The would be less densely ignor-
ant of Ill the laws of hygienic plumb
ing.
Still.a woman could not be sue
ssfulplumber, for the reason that no
person possessed of less than $780,
600 could afford to employ her. Wo-
man his far more Imagination than
man, and in making out a plumber S
bill she would give free run to her i'm
aginatiDn. Already the bills of plumb
ers represent the highest flights of the
masculine Imagination, but they would
be left iar behind by the bills of female
plumbers. The male plumber has in
his opinion, reached the utmost limits
in the invention of items with which to
swell his bill, but he still adheres to
the rulss of arithmetic and adds up his
| columns correctly. The woman who
can add up column of figures correct
" has lot yet appeared, for the fem
mime conception of the sum of twelve
and fifteen is thirty-six. In other
words, a woman adding up column
makes the result at least one-fourth
greater than it should be. A woman
could ake the bill of items presented
by male plumber, and by simply add
ing theitems together could increase
the total amount frlly one-fourth. 1t
is this popularity of the feminine intel
lect that will ever prevent women from
succeeding as plumbers, for the femin-
inc plumbing bill would in all cases be
SO enormous that householder, soon
er thar run the risk of having it pre-
sented to him, would tear up all his
water-pipes and substitute beer for wa
ter, both as a beverage and as means
of cleanliness. -M Y. Times.

Local OPTION.


The Hon. William Daniels, late can.
didate for viee-president of the United
States on the Prohibition ticket, in a
letter to the New York Independent.
tells how local option works in Mary.
land. lie says its success has so pop.
ularized the movement that scarcely a
man can be found anywhere throughout
the state who makes any claim at all OF
being temperance man, who does not
now favor the plan. Nothing succeeds
like success. He says it has in some
places in the state emptied the jails and
almshouses and in others greatly de-
creased the number of their inmates. II
has also greatly decreased the number
OF inmates in the state penitentiary; it
has appreciated property, lessened tax
es. and has been, generally. the great
promoter of peace and happiness.
The success of local option has been
even more marked in Georgia. So
strong has this movement grown that
the temperance people of Atlanta will
to-day. Nov. 25, beard the lion in his
den. Atlanta is the stronghold of the
liquor dealers in Georgia, and if the
temperance people of that city to-day
arise in their might and vote to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, it will be a death-blow to
whisky and the triumph of local option
in that state.
The whole city-is, and for sometime
has been, in an intense excitement over
this question. While the liquor interest
is working with all its might against
Prohibition, the friends of temperance.
without any reference to party politics,
are doing their utmost to win the vic
tory and seem strongly confident OF
success. Every available hall in the
city is used every night for public meet
ings. The Prohibitionists parade the
streets with music and blue ribbons.
The most prominent men in the CITY. on
both sides, are engaged in the contest.
United States Senator Colquitt, formerly
governor of Georgia, has pulled off his
coat and is making speeches every night
in favor OF Prohibition. He proposes
to continue in the fight to the end.
Judges 0. A. Lochrane, Harry jackson
and Emory Speer, are following his ex-
ample. The ministers of the city make
Prohibition their text on the Sabbath
and the weekly prayer-meetings have
become Prohibition meetings. The re-
suit can be known only after the votes
are cast and counted; yet the prospect
that temperance will triumph is, ac-
cordinS to the reports from Atlanta.
very encouraging.
