Origin Of the Blouse.

After the fall of the Roman Empire
the sexes started about fair in the
matter of clothes. Our Teutonic an
cestors adopted a costume which was
almost the same for men and women,
and consisted Of two garments, the
Roman tunica and tora. The tunica
was virtually shirt with long sleeves
and was buckled at the waist. The
men were 1t reaching to the knees
and the women to the ankles. In
colder northern attitudes the men, as
great innovation, added trousers,
but these were looked upon In the
light Of distinct extra, and were not
considered obligatory In hot weather.
There seems to DO NO doubt that tho
blouse of the modern peasant Ia n
direct descendant Of the tunica.- Lip.

ABOUT THE ALASKA MAIDEN.

Remarks About Her by n White Man
Who Studied Her Characteristics.
Some of the early American set
tiers who went to Alaska as bachelors
married native girls. One of them
who died several years ago left be-
hind the following description of the
Alaska maiden, which was published
in the last number of the Alaska
News.
'"The Alaska maiden is very queer
and unnatural being. She may live
with white man, or be lawfully we'd
ded to him. but tender sentiments as
love for her white husband never en-
tered her dusky bosom. She may
dwell in a fine cottage, wear silks,
and fine raiment and live upon dainty
food and in ease, but to be good and
true to him who labors to supply her
with these holy things is not accord
ing to the Hoyle of her clan. and she
keeps the head of the house constant

of some swarthy lover upon his do
nestle happiness. The cottage, silks,
well-supplied table and liberal allow

living with him, and if financial en-
barrassments cause a shortage in such
luxuries the frisky damsel suddenly
has home affairs that demand her at
tention, and Mr.. Parker 'baches' I'M
til he makes another stake. She is
very dutiful to her aged parents, and
the persistency of her demands for
cash and the depletion of her own
lardcr for their support is only equal
ed by the amount that these old peo-
pie seem able to consume. She is
very aboriginal in her habits, and

Kansas City, May Zone Of the
worst sand and dust storms in years
prevailed in Oklahoma and ut one or
two points in Kansas to-day. At
Pittsburg, Kan. comparatively no out
door work could be accomplished.
dust storm blew for several hours,

of great vehemence ragged. A norther

driving things before it with fearful
velocity. For five hours the storm

degrees. The sand carried before the
storm drifted like snow, while the
dust and debris caught up made the
atmosphere i,npenetrable and pedestri-
anism extremely dangerous. 1t is be-
lieved nobody in this vicinity was
hurt, but worse reports are liable to
come from towns which must have
been struck by the storm.
The town of Hennessey was also
struck, but the extent of the damage
suffered there, if any, is not known.
