The Alaskan Damsel's DOH.

The dusky damsel of Alaska has an
ivory doll. 1t is carved from walrus
tusk any length from one to six inches,
with nose carved, and eyes, eyebrows
and mouth of black enamel. Even the
inch-long baby has features carefully
made. She has also doll of wood, six
or eight inches long, with its face carved
and curious ornament just below the
corners of the mouth. This is blue
bead. and is in imitation of the fashion
of her tribe, Of making in the lower lip
an opening like button hole, through
which any desired ornament may be
thrust. None Of the Alaska dolls bave
joints, but this unnatural stiffness has
apparently not been altogether satisfac-
tory to the small damsels, for some are
carved in a sitting posture.
The most humble doll is simply a stick
with a head carved on the end. But the
most elaborate of all Indian dolls l have
seen belongs also to Alaska. It's carved
from dark colored wood, with mouth
open, showing three white teeth, ard il
has real hair, in locks six inches long,
stuck into holes in the wooden head, with
the drollest "patchy" effect. - Olive
Thorne Miller in st. Nicholas.

Queer binding for Books.

Extravaganza in binding has frequently
furnished an opening for the display Of
fantastic tricks and fads. In a book
sellers catalogue was once an advertise
ment of Latin copy Of Apuleius'
"Golden ASS" bound in tho skin Of an
ass. A book relating to Jeffrey Hudson,
the celebrated dwarf, was bound in o
piece of the silk waistcoat Of Charles I.
Fox's historical works were bound in fox
skin, and Bacons works were dressed
out in hog skin. One offspring of the
French revolution was the grim humor
of binding books in human skin. France
was not alone in this practice. In vari.
Gus parts of England tho skin of muir.
derers has been tanned and used to bind
books. The public library Of Bury st.
Edmands has book containing the ac-
count of the trial Of man for murder
bound in his own skin. Eccentricities
of binding in such as skins Of cats, croco.
ollie, mole, seal. wolf, tiger, bear, etc.,
abound. The use of cloth in binding is
ono of comparatively recent date. In
1885 Archibald Leighton introduced
cloth for covers, the first books SO bound
being Byron's complete works. -Provi-
dence Journal.

Has any great invention ever been
made that did not have forecast in the
visions of somo humorist? When, fifty
years ago, we read the fun Of Sir John
Vaudeville and Of his trumpet, that held
hfs frozen words until he reached Italy,
Where they thaved out and blew away
IA his exact tones, to his amakement,
who conceived that we were close to the
discovery of a little instrument that
would bottle up language and song, and
free it after the lapse of days, years OF
ages? Our steam travel was foreguessed,
also, in the same way by Newton, and
air navigation has been jocose dream
since the Arabian Nights" Our i'm
agination can probably never reach
farther than our capacity to realize; the
wonder Is that it can reach as far

Emancipation Among the cherokees.

Among other events showing the pro-
gress of emancipation, the act of the
national council of Cherokees has been
overlooked. Professor Foster writes to
The Century recalling the fact that this
tribe did, on the 18th day of February,
1868, pass decree Of emancipation. "Be
it enacted by the national council, That
all negro and other slaves within the
lands OF the Cherokee nation be, and
they are hereby, emancipated from
slavery; and any person or persons who
may have been held in slavery are hereby
declared to be free forever" This act is
remarkable from the pro-slavery senti-
ment which was known to predominant
In the Indian tribes, although never as
strong among the Cherokees as among
the Creeks.-Globe-D Democrat.

( The Waco Curiosity Shop Is at 707

riosity Shop is the place to bay and
sell all kinds of secondhand goods.
They carry full and complete stock
of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every M ticle needed for housekeeping.
1t is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with so-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t is the place where they
can and do sell goods at a fair profit
so that there is no accumulation of old
time-worn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ed less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and good name.
Since then it has sold nearly Sl2O, 900
worth of goods. 1t has helped hum
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when-theY could not do so in any 9TH
er way. 1t has conflnued-togr grow,

house in Waco ever did with same

meet all competition and lead 1t when
we can. It\will make special low

and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible,
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever,
