HUMAN birds or ALASKA.
A Strang Race of People Who Chat

From the New York JournaI.


People who talk like birds who whistle
and chirrup in their speech. with notes
varying from those of the wren TO the
harsh cultural of the cockatoo-a tribe
of such people has actually been discover

He was the first white man to locate
these chirruping savages. which he did

sessing no permanent homes.
1t has long been a practice among the
coast Indians Of Alaska, when a chief
died, to go and kill a few of the TsutsOwt
as the people who talk Ike birds are
called-the object being that the chief
might have servants to wait on him while
the course of time the pursuit Of this
good old custom greatly reduced the num-
Der of the Tsutsowt, and the latter, dur
ing the last nIty years, being too lew to
fight. have been Kept continually on the
jump. The last of them would have been
killed some time ago. but for the fact
that they have retreated to the highest
mountains, where they live chiefly by
hunting marmOts. These little animals
dwell among the rocks, and may often be
seen sitting erect at the mouths of their
holes, whistling shrilly The Tsutsowt
