though doubtful as English grammar. and
states but the facts. Far western people
occasionally indulge in sarcastic remarks
on the propriety of having such struc-
ture here in view of the administration
present attitude on silver, but unfortu-
nately very few of them are here. An
other object Of great attraction Is the pict-
ure of a prairie farm, composed of grain
and grasses, in the Illinois building, and
people from that state tell me that the
original design was by an Illinois girl OF
II. who did considerable of the work.
In the Anthropological building are
some rare curiosities Of ugliness. i do not
refer to such common things as masks
and mumnies, skulls, skeletons and abo-
riginal drawings. These are just ordinar-
lily ugly, but the Indians of the far north
west have sent some totems and funeral
poles which are superiatively hideous.
Among these sits an old Englishman
named John Dean, who passed forty years
of his life in British Columbia, Alaska
and thereabouts. His collection comes
chiefly from Queen Charlotte island, and
everything in it is ugly beyond the power
of language to describe. When man
dies on that island his relatives hollow out
tree trunk and slide the corpse. enclosed
in many bark wrappings and q rude box,
into it and then plant the trunk on end in
the ground. They cover the top TO pre-
serve the wood and on that place an image
to scare away the evil spirits. II those
shown here do not scare them, they must
be spirits of some nerve.
