The WORK OF SAvAGES.
Many Queer Things in the Australian Er-
hibit.

Interesting. though largely .'photo-
graphic" is the Australian collective
exhibit in the Anthropological building.
Having Joined forces with the British
South Sea island possessions, many cu-
rious native implements are shown. In
laid bowls, modelled in curious design,
combs, idols, hair pins, paddles and n
laid wooden spears, with one thousand
other odds and ends, and photographs
bewildering make up the collection.
Although chiefly the work of eanr a
balistic tribes, some beautiful bits of
decorative wood and pearl show the
artistic in the savage; and, what is
more, the Illawarra tribe from New
South Wales has an artist whose paint
ings are on exhibition and highly
valued. His name was Mickey" and
he was the shining light of the tribe.
Mickey" wasn't always an artist. For
many years he fought and battled with
opposing tribes, but from exposure
rheumatism set into his joints and he
was unable to walk. He lay around his
hut unable to move, and realizing that
his days were nearly over he gave up
all hope of ever again throwing the
friendly boomerang in warfare, and de-
cided to make a name for himself and
TO prove to the world that he was not
an ordinary savage.
So he drew pictures of fishes in the
water, boats sailing. and trees-in fact,
made pictures of his own native heath
Viewed from an artists standpoint
they are not in harmony with the mod
ern French ideas, but as savage ex-
preston of art are interesting and show
great knowledge of form. Mickey" is
dead now, but he has accomplished his
ideal and we know he rests in the
realm of the great. Mr.. Bowman, the
superintendent of the exhibit, says he
would speak to no one while at work.
but kept away from the tribe, and
when his picture was finished would
call the chiefs and nave a grand dance.
Mickey was also a ''Duk- Duk," and
of course on that account was much re-
spected by the cannibals all over the
islands
The Duk-Duk Is a secret society on
the island of Tareyn and is strictly
tabu. So strict are the rules of the or
ganization that should an uninitiated
boy or woman chance upon the island
he or she would DE instantly killed or
beaten and tortured to death. The be-
lief of the islanders is that the Duk-
Duk are devils, and as they carry bones
around their neck which when shaken
make great rattle, the superstition is
that the Duk-Duk's bones are not in
the body, but outside, and they shake
in the wind. Should a Dulx- Duk visit
another island sure death would befalI
the chief of the island Visited. The
system of Duk- Duk has lodges all over
the island, and Mr. Bowman says that
they are organized purely for the pur-
pose of promoting cannibalism and
preventing the white man from civil
izing and instructing them.

DONNA EULALIE's MARRIAGE.
The Romantic Incidents In Connection
with II Fully Described.

with IL Fully Described.
There is an interesting and at the
same time touching romance in Donna
Eulalie's life. Only two months previ-
Gus TO her brothers death she became
engaged to her first cousin, the Infante
Don Antonio de Orleans Borbon.
Her brother. perhaps fearing his end
was approaching, earnestly desired to
have the marriage take place February
IL, 1885, the infanta's twenty-second
birthday. But death. who rules kings
as well as subjects, snatched away
Alfonso before he could see his sister
married. The wedding was postponed
for one year until the court mourning
should be over. The queen regent,
anxious to carry out her husbands
last wish on earth. then appointed the
same day he had chosen for the cere-
mony. But the infanta was seized with
malignant fever that postponed her
union with Don Antonio to March 6.
The marriage took place In the beau-
tiful chapel of the royal palace. Every
one, from the queen regent to the last
of her attendants, was attired in the
deepest mourning; only the infanta APP
peared in white. II is impossible to
describe or imagine her appearance on
that day without having been an eye
witness. Her beautiful figure seemed
more perfect than ever while her radi-
ant face was enhanced by the sad ex-
preston il bore. As she walked toward
the altar, and stopped for second be-
fore the throne where her brothers
widow stood with sorrowful counte-
nance, Donna Eulalie exchanged with
her look of the most touching pathos.
The queen seemed to represent Alfonso
at that moment, and the devoted sister
wished to pause and show him. in the
person of his widow, that she had com
piled with his dying request.
The queen regent placed the palace
of Arajuez at the Infanta's disposal
for her honeymoon. perhaps because it
was there that Alfonso and Mercedes,
his first love, passed the early days of
their brief happiness. Don Antonio
was the brother of the late Queen Mer-
cedes, and they occupied the same
apartments she had as Alfonso's bride.
The romantic union has been blessed
with two beautiful children. The
slider is named after his mothers

The main hall of the building is a

In some particulars the British
methods of managing the North Ameri-
can Indians has been more successful
than that pursued by the white people
south of the great lakes. In Canada's
exhibit IN the Liberal Arts building
there is an Indian exhibition which
shows that the Canadians have relied
upon the education of the Indians to
control them. Long preceding like
effort in the United States, the Cana
dams have had Indian industrial
schools in operation, and the exhibit in
Canada's display consists of products of
these schools. and along with it at
present are seven Indian girls and
boys. They are from the northwest
territory, and are pupils of ST. Albert's
school, Edmonton, San Boniface's
school, opposite Winnipeg, and the
school at Battleford on the Saskatche-
wan river The girls and boys repre-
sent the Crees Satteux and Muske.

are from the blanketed or most un-
civilized tribes of the dominion. The
children are kept at work before the
public at their respective trades, and
make an interesting and creditable
showing at Misunderstanding, harness.

typesetting. They are surrounded by
samples of work from all the industrial
schools, and in contrast are arrayed
Indian fabrications, feathered garments,
utensils and weapons, which they
made wore, and used in the savage
state
The exhibit in its entirety is striking
and interesting, and instructive in
showing what the Canadians are doing
for its six hundred children in the in
dustrial schools and seven thousand at
the Indian day and boarding schools.

be replaced by others soon from other

JAPANESE ART.
some Wonderful Specimens a. the Worlds
Fair.


The significance of the japanese de-
partment of the worlds fair at Chicago
lies in the fact that here for the first
time has the policy of self-development
in modern oriental art an opportunity
of justifying itself by results, however
immature BY its promoters were the
government plans for its exhibition
drafted and superintendent; by its pro-
fessors and pupils were the most i'm
portaht of the detached works and all
of the decorations executed, and
through its influence has the prevailing
character of native and original design
been throughout stimulated. 1t is well
understood by the authorities that ia
pans future position in the worlds art
cannot be established by throwing
away her special gifts of pure and deli
cate design. in the quixotic desire to
compete with France and America in
the field of realistic oilpainting. Neither
can she fall back listlessly upon the
fame of her past achievements. She
must grapple with living problems She
assumes that IN her art courses sap
enough for new possibilities. While at
Vienna. at Paris and at Philadelphia
her triumphs were largely in her loan
collections of antiques and in modern
replicas, at Chicago for the first time
has she deliberately dared TO be origin
al, and 10 ask the worlds favor for her
contemporf ry art on its own merits.
Candor compels one first of all to say
that to Mr. Kakuzo okakura, the direc-
tor of the Fine Arts academy, more
than any other one man, is the cr- dit
for this wonderful japanese exhibit
due. The wise touch of his advice is
everywhere felt. from the architectural
