see the anxiety they have for employ
ment. And they do not tirs OF 1t
as the indians of the Pacific country
generally do. Those to which l have baen
accustomed usually work a few days
and then conclude themselves sufficiently
wealthy. Those OF Alaska, however, want
to earn money and learn to live like white
men. They want Boston clothes and
'Besten houses and all that sort of thing.
You see they have three standards there,
that Of the natives. which they recognize as
not up to those of the whites; that of which
they call the King George men, and that of
the Boston men. BY the King George men

America Ahead. Peculiar
characteristics of Ameri.
cans The Evils and How
Restored.

In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take a high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences,
developing into a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fications; yet there is danger that in the
curse of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says il
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus SEQ, Springfield, o.
writes :"We are having a good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best s~atisfac.

VANITY OF VANIrIEs.


A few years ago a society of emf.
nent men in Paris discussed the cues
ton "What language would a child
naturally speak if never taught p,
The devout Catholics were of the
opinion that the Hebrew language
would be spoken in these circum.
stances.
One scientist was Of the opinion
that some form of the Chinese Ian.
guagc would be the natural tongue.
Twenty different results we're pre.
dicted. At last it was decided 10
test the matter; and a committee was
appointed to carry out the experi.
ment; two infants were procured and
put in charge of a deaf and dumb
woman who lived in the Alps and
made a living by rearing chickens and
tending sheep.
The woman vas given strict in
functions to allow no one to speak to
to these children. and as her cot.
tage was some miles distant from
any neighbor, the circumstances sur.
rounding the experiment were IA
vorable.
Years rolled on and many Of the
members of the society had lost
sight Of this interesting experiment.
Some Of the members of the com.
mittee died, and there was great
danger of the results of this wonder.
ful test being lost to the world.
Fortunately two of the members of
the committee kept faithful watch
on the case, and when the children
were six years old brought them,
with their nurse. into the meeting of
the "savahts." Every member was
on the tiptoe of expectation as to the
result. Not one word could either of
the children utter; their only form of
language was a wonderfully good
imitation of the growing Off cock, OF
the cackling of a hen or the bleat-
ing of sheep. The predictions of
science were totally upset by a prac.
tical experiment.

WHAT Do PEOPLE EAT2

If we know what people eat, We
can learn a great deal about the coun-
try, its natural products as well as
those that are cultivated. When |
am in a place / have never before
visited, and can remain there but a
short time, ] find that | can learn
more about the neighboring country,
by going to the market, than any
other manner. Let one visit the
market in Boston, and the market
at New Orleans; what a contrast
And quite as great a contrast will
be presented by the market at San
Francisco. One sees at the market
the various kinds of game and fish
produced by the country, the wild
fruits, berries and other natural pro-
auctions. On the other hand, the
cultivated fruits, vegetables, etc,
give one an idea of the climate. or
course, n must make sure that the
articles are produced in the vicinity,
and not transported from a distance.
1t would be a very careless observer
who should infer that tomatoes grew
in the vicinity of New York in Feb.
ruary, because he saw them in the
market, just landed from the Ber-
muda steamer. Not only are the ar.
ticles that are offered for sale IN the
market interesting to a stranger,
but the manner in which they are
presented, is often curious. In Can
ada, berries are offered in curious
vessels made ofthe bark OF the canoe
birch. In Charleston, s. c., the veg
etables for soup are made up into a
neat boquet. Each market pre-
sents some neat and interesting
popularity, and a visit to one. even
in a small place, seldom fails to be
instructive.-"The Doctor" IN Ameri-
