Eugenie's First Ancestor.

1t is not generally known that
Empress Eugene was partly an
Irish woman. Yet upon one side
she was descended from an Irish
soldier of fortune-there were any
amount of them-who made a name
and place for himself in the inter-
minable Spanish wars. When there
was talk of her marrying the En-
peror Napoleon, some of the old no.
bility sneered at her pedigree. Then
came heralds tracing out Irish blood
lines until the French authorities
in disgust conceded that Eugene
was descended from all the royal
ties of Ireland back to Brian Boru.

the home life may suffer at the
hands of women when they shall
become the political equals of their
husbands. Certainly this anxiety
ought to be allayed by the knowl-
edge, based upon undoubted Stats
tics, that, while in all the other
Western States the number of d.
vorces increased, from 1870 to 1880,
so per cent, in Wyoming the num-
Der decreased 20 per cent, and that
now the ratio of divorce in Wyom-
ing is as one to three in the rest of
our United States.

men, we can call upon any or all

Resolution of her Second State Leg
islature, passed by the House of Rep
resentatives, and concurred in by
every Senator but one:
BE 1t resolved by the Second Leg
islat're Of the State Of Wyoming,
That the possession and exercise of
suffrage by the women in Wyoming
for the past quarter of century has
wrought no harm and has done great
good III many ways; that it has
largely aided in banishing crime,
pauperism and vice from this State,
and that without any violent or OPP
pressive legislation; that it has Sc
cured peaceful and orderly elections,
good government, and a remarkable
degree Of civilization and public
order; and we point with pride to
the facts that after nearly twenty
FIVE years of woman suffrage not one
countyin Wyoming has poorhouse,
that our jails are almost empty, and
crime, except that committed by
strangers in the State, almost un-
known; and as the result of expert
ence we urge every civilized COM
munity on earth to enfranchise its
women without delay"

yukon Indian Customs

There were formerly many curious
traits of character and queer Gus
toms that prevailed among the tribes
inhabiting the Yukon country. Per-
haps the most barbaric of all was
in the treatment of the female in
fants. Just after the child is born
she is entrusted to some one of the
opposite sex of advanced age who
has selected her for his future wife.
During the time before arriving at
that age when she can become a
wife to her male guardian, for such
he now is, has to contribute a GER
tain portion of his spoils of the
chase to her support. If, before
she arrives at that age, she dis
pleases her lord, or he tires of sup
porting her, she is given no more
food and is starved to death Should
a female be born and no man wants
to provide for her and claim her as
his future wife, then she is not al
lowed to live. All male infants are,
however, brought up, as they will
make good hunters. Consequently,
it is estimated that for every female
there are hundred males.
Curious as it may seem, the two
sexes live separate greater portion
of the time. Both men and women
dress alike, and one unaccustomed
to them is unable to distinguish one
from the other unless very close by.
During the Winter these people
travel altogether with dogs and sled,
and in the Summer by birch bark
canoes. They also convert their
dogs and even their squaws into
pack animals, and it is a curious
sight to see long pack train of
dogs loaded with from twenty to
thirty pounds each, and the line
broken here and there with human
being laboring under her pack Of a
hundred pounds. Their canoes are
very diminutive in size and of in
ferior construction, and it is an i'm
possibility for one not accustomed
to their use to sit in them without
upsetting. They are built to hold
but one person, and then sitting
fiat IN the bottom with, knees curled
under, SO as to occupy the least
space possible, os..a4ar
These Indians are very moral in
