An Alaskan Pocahontas.

[San Francisco Cor. New York Star
A curious couple Is living in one
Of the tenements on Ross alley, in
Chinatown, whose meeting and sub
sequent marriage equals that of Cap
tain Smith and Pocahontas. The
couple is All Wing and Julie, now
Mrs. All Wing, an Alaskan Indian
maiden. They arrived on cod fish
schooner several months since, but
have not gone into society yet.
Ah Wing, some nine years ago,
was a cook in the employ of the
navy department, and was shipped
North on the Jamestown. While
on the Sitka station Wings time ex-
pired or he deserted-just which is
not quite plain-and he skipped
aboard whaler. The whaler was
wrecked, and Wing was cast up on
an inhospitable Ice foe. Julie was
the daughter Of chief Of a tribe of
Indians, and while hunting with
her father, discovered Alb Wing,
who was as near dead from starva-
ton, cold aud exposure as IL was
possible for him to be and retain life.
For days and days Julie nursed
him, aud he finally recovered to
find himself the object of great
deal of atten ton on the part of the
Indians. They could speak no Chi
nese or English, and Wing had no
comprehension of their dialect. He
was at u loss TO understand the solic-
itude with which they fed him and
the interest they took in watching
the accumulation of fat on his ribs.
At last the horrid truth dawned on
him-at least, 30 he says. They
were going to barbecue and eat him.
He attempted to escape, but was
and put under guard. The fatal
day arrived. Wing was informed
by pantomime that an incision
would be made In his neck and his
life fluid allowed to escape into a
soapstone basin. He gave all up
for lost, when he was inspired by
the sight of Julie In tears. He made
love To her. She comprehended,
and went to ask papa. The old
chief was fond Of his daughter, and

an edlct against baked Wing. The
remainder Of the village protested,
and the chief was obliged to state
why he desired the strangers life
preserved. The objectors gave in,
and Wing and julio were married
In Indian style.
Wing lived with the tribe for
some time, but never became very
popular. He was not much of
hunter, and preferred to be around
the house sewing with the women
to chasing polar bears, walruses,
seals and the like.
Finally he had n chance to escape.
A boats crew came In from a
schooner to trade for skins. Their
cook was dead, and Wing begged
them to take him away with them.
Wings father-iIi-lawg W gave him leave
of absence for three months and
sent Julie along with him to insure
his return.
They sailed away, and after much
marine wandering and transferring
from one vessel to another, arrived
in San Francisco. Wing had taste

Ages of Man and Wife.
Ladies' Home Journal. 4

1t is always better for man to be
several years the senior of his wife.
And I'll tell you the reason why.
The average girl who marries-.God
bless her-stays at home, and makes
home blissful abiding place for
her husband and her children. The
man goes out into the world and has
the responsibility Of caring for those
who are at home, and yet time does
not seem to set its seal on him as 1t
does on woman. The little cares
of life ruf1le her, and too often make
her look, as we say, "old before her
time.' Now, even when this does
not happen, she does proportionate-
ly grow old in appearance sooner
than n man. and for that reason she
wants to take the benefit of the
doubt and lot him have tho added
years TO start with. Then, too, you
should desire to keep your heart and
mind young; to be his intellectual
companion, and this is much easier
when your husband Is old enough
TO be ''the guide, philosopher and
friend" The love Of woman to
her husband always has little of
the material in it--that is right and
tender-but she does not wish to be
mistaken for his mother.
BE wise and marry man older
than yourself; one who has seen ife
In its many phases and one who can
guide you over the rocky place; one
who has learned that 1t is not always
wise to obey impulse, but that any
important duty should be well
thought over.

Quiet Ways Arc Best

EvanRelist.
Watts the use of worrying,
OF hurrying
And scurrying,
Every body tlurrying,
And breaking up their rest?
When every one is teaching us,
Preaching and beseechipg us,
To settle down and end the fus,
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down In shown
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers; -,
Sweet fragrance from each brimmlhss'r
Tho gentle zephyrs gather up.
There's ruin the tempests path;
There's ruin In voice OF wrathi
And they alone nre blest
Who carly learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove, by their serene estate,
That quiet weys are best.
Nothing's gained by worrying,
BY hurrying
And scurrying,
With fretting and with hurrying
The temper's often lost;
And in pursuit Of some small prizs
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful prico has cost.
Tis better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they TO raise q fuss,
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene In heart and nelve'
There strength is always In reserve
And nobly stands each test;
And every day and all about,
BY scenes within and scenes wilnou'
We can disc IN, with nc'er doupr
That quiet ways arc Lost.

what may come under the head OF

have a couple of dinner dresses,
which make seven, and couple

own dinners--dinner gowns, surely,
but yet suggesting In their every air
that one Is at home-gowns that
may be made available, too, for ones

which will not do at all for bali

SO here we are, with a list Of thir-
teen or fourteen frocks that woman
who goes out even n little must pos
sess, and not thing has been said
about tea gowns, bedroom wrappers,
morning gowns and simple after
noon home dresses. So that twenty
different frocks must be planned for.
SO many new, 30 many made over,
SO many freshened up and 80 many
that will need no outlay, but will do
IN they are. Everybody has dresses
that last over from season to season,
just as everybody has those that

problem to solve when the pocket
book is slim. Therefore, take the
advice here offered: Begin early
and think the matter over with
calm delibaration. Good luck to

Mime. Anne Rupert is one of the
few business women of New York
who are making money, and she is
doing 80 deservedly. Thousands
are making u living and hundreds
are making fair profit, but this
lady is conscientiously earning n
fortune by beneflting her sister
women.
She Is a slim, pretty woman of the
amber type OF beauty, with clear
gray eyes, cameolilie features, small,
shapely hands and refreshing
quality of fine individuality.
She Is sole proprietor of fifty-one
establishments in many cities of the
union and in the last three years
she has travelled 1000 miles and
crossed the ocean twice, giving lee
lures on the care of the face.
Here are some ideas on the COM
pleXion which, while simple and
sensible, have the added cream of
novelty, coming as they do from an
authority on the subject. Some of
them entirely refute the old theories:

Decorated Pigeons.

Decorated Pigeons.
Accounts Of some pleasant feml-
nine conceits or fads have been go.
Ing the rounds Of the press, notably
recent account of fan upon
which the fair possessor had deftly
painted portraits of friends and no.
table characters upon the separate
blades; but a far greater novelty In
the way Of feminine fancy was
shown Washington Star reporter
by a young lady Of that city who
has just returned from India, where
she had been residing for some time
with her father, who was stationed
there In an official capacity. Her
fancy was pair of most exquisitely
beautiful pigeons. They are what
are known rs "nutmeg pigeons" "
one of the species of fruit pigeons
found In the forests of India, Aus
tralia and the islands of the Indian
and Pacific oceans. The ''nuit
pigeons" feed on fruit and berries.
The nutmeg pigeon inhablts
India and its archipelago. The
color is a fine pale blueish gray,
with golden green back, wings and
tail. The metallic luster OF the
plumage changes with every mo-
tion, rivaling the gaudy hucs of the
oriental humming bird. These
pigeons feed on nutmegs, figs and
top leaves of the cabbage palm.
This pair Of pigeons are from a
thoroughly doniesticated flock of n
native fancier and nre characterized
by extreme gentleness and attach
ment.
On the lighter colors of each
feather of the wing and fan-like tail

to better con trast with the shade of
the color Of the feather. The figures
are first delicately engraved upon
lockwood blocks cut to suit the par
ticular location on the feather, then
deftly transferred to the feather In
delicately-tinted India ink. The
conceit Is purely original with the
owner of the pigeons, but she says
she Is indebted to the process fol-
lowed by native artists for sugges-
tions. Besides the loveliness and
beauty of the pets themselves, the
owner has the pleasure of thou
sand memories ever before her,
framed In an iridescent halo at

affectionately carressed the beauti-
full birds, "they do not sing, yet l
think their soft cooling, as they
caress each other 80 affectionately,
is delightful. They are far more
intelligent, too, than those that
were only made to please with song.
The memory and love of home of
our common carrier pigeon is really
pathetic, but 1t was in a Persian
village that first noticed the extra
ordinary capacity of the pigeon for
exact training.

The Lovable in Woman.

To every distinct quality belongs
its own kingdom. The woman who
can stride round her farm aud keep
her workmen in proper subsection,
who can drive her yoke of oxen
afield, red and blowzed and muscu-
lar, has her own rule and empery
but 1t Is not Of the sort of which we
are speaking. There was not, per.
haps, much womanliness about
such individuals as Elizabeth, OF
England, or Catharine, of Russia,
or Christina, Of Sweden; all their
lovers put together could not give
them a charm they did not possess
the charm of Mary Stuart, OF
Josephine; for the possession oi
lovers by no means proves the
possession of this charm Yet
where one accomplishes her ends by
mastery OF purpose and manner
many women accomplish theirs by
using the iron hand, II may be, but
always In the velvet glove; their
will Is no less strong because 1t l.
not made evident in season, al.
though, in fact, the graceful yield.
ing of that will now and then is
strengthened of all the bonds by
which empire Is held.
The masculine woman Is strong
only with other women and with
womanish men. The womanly
woman conquers everyone. With
men her power is In the inverse
ratio Of her approach to anything
resembling themselves; the woman,
not the man In her, attracts; and,
singularly enough, her power Is
greater with most women also from
this heightening Of her feminine
side. This, however, IL very In.
significant matter beside the cir.
cumstance that woman Is fulfill
ing her destiny, and living the life
appointed her, and developing her
self on the lines of nature, by keep.
ing In view the greater use she can
be, and the greater JOY and comfort
she can give, through the exercise
of those traits which seem to have
been set apart for her characterize
tion. And If IL Is the intention of
nature that the qualities of the sexes
shall so differentiate, 1t is not the
part of wisdom for her to contra.
vene such intention and make of
herself that conglomerate and
hybrid thing Il masculine woman.
The old story of the vine and oak
does not come into this question,
In the womanly woman the growth
Is rs strong end integral and self
supporting rs 1t Is in the manly
man. She Is as distinct an entity.
and she is more In unison with
eternal purposes and the creative
power, the more utterly and thor
oughly she Is womanly.
Doings of Well Known Woman.
Miss Fawcett, though she be q
senior wrangler, does not despise
novels. In her pretty study at
Newnham, above rows of mathe-
NAUTICAL tones, there are volumes
of varied reading-science, poetry,
novels, economies. A few of these
volumes have been prettily bound
by the fair fingers of their owner,
who is also not too emancipated to
be an expert needlewoman.

that to lose ones temper is to lose
