company, headed by John Barker in the
leading character of Joshua Whitcomb.
Mr. Barker, as is very we'll known to the
alter goers Of this city, is an adept in the
delneation OF characters of the style of
Uncle Josh; and he was never seen to
better advantage than last night. He is
supported by a company of merit from
the top to the bottom of the cast, and the
staging is an improvement upon anything
similar seen here. Many of the mechani-
cal effects are strikngly clever. A feature

SUMMER SCHOOL, LECTURE
NAGUENESS AND PERFECTION
THE SUBJECT.
DR.. Brown Talks to the Teachers AMI
Compares the Value of Different
Studies-Informal Talks.

Yesterday DIR. Brown reviewed his
Mondays lecture on Perfection and
Nagueness" and made some applicn-
tions of the principles. The teacher
should not go through a term without
seeing that the children had got she
mastery of some things-perfect rrost-
cry: but he begged the teacher not to
go through terms work without Civ
ing the pupils some outlook to things
that lie beyond. The methods of in
struction was influenced by this. 7 "
example, take instruction in litera-
ture. This applies to something in the
first grade: more in the second grade.
You cannot teach under pressure; you
can take short cuts insist on rapidly
of work. But not so in literature.
That the children may be taught liter
allure, they have to live literature
absorb it, warm up to it; and that
takes time. 1t is the slow process If
getting imbued with it and in love
with it. The test in arithmetic is
eXactness; the supreme test is how
much they are in love with it. Have
the children learned to love these stor-
les? 1t is not the exact etymolog' s
and historical illusions that is going
to constitute success in literature.
They are necessary in their place. We
must make little things little.
DR.. Brown reverted to his threefolj
division of work in schools-percep-
ton. thought and expression, and in
vited the teachers to point out from
their own experience which of TIL Sc
elements was most prominent in tn 'ir
work.
He concluded the conversation by
asking the teachers to notice whether
they were eXaggerating or sighting
one or other of these points.
DR.. Birnie then addressed the teach
ers for a few minutes. He had noticed
that in some schools there was an at
mosphere of mutual understanding
between teacher and class, and in
others this was missing. Some teach
ers are personally interesting, and
they manage to touch the class in the
same way as they touch individuals
He believed that it was possible fol
every teacher to have the capacity fol-
being interesting. tt may be gift
but he believed it could be cultivated
Tt could come through a profound sym
pathy and interest in the lives of those
whom we have to deal with.

YUKON INDIANS.
The Barbaric Manner In Which They
Used to Treat Female Infants.

The Barbaric Manner In Which They
Used to Treat Female Infants.
There were formerly many curious traits
of character and queer customs that pre-.
vailed among the tribes inhabiting the up.
per Yukon country. Perhaps the most
barbaric of all was in the treatment of the
female infants. Just after the child il
born she is intrusted to some of the oppo.
site sex of advanced age, who has selected
her for his future wife. During the time
before arriving at that age when she be.
comes wife her male guardian, for such
he now is, has to contribute a certain por
ton of his spoils of the chase to her sup.
port. If before she arrives at that age she
displeases her lord, or he tires of support.
ing 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 rs his future wife, then she is
not allowed to live. All the male infants
are, however, brought up, as they will
make good hunters Consequently 1t is
estimated that for every female there are
100 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 distin
guish one from the other unless very close.
During the winter these people travel to-
gether with dogs and sleds and in the
summer by birch bark canoes. They also
convert their dogs, and even their squaws,
into pack animals, and it is IA curious sight
to see a long pack train of dogs loaded with
go or 30 pounds each, and the line broken
here and there with a human being labor
ing under her pack of 100 pounds. Their
canoes are very diminutive in size and of
inferior construction, and it is an impossi
bility for one not accustomed to their use
to sit in them without upsetting. They
are built to hold but one person, and then
sitting fat on the bottom with knees curled
under SO as to occupy the least space posi-.

The dry atmosphere causes
dandruff to form and the fall
ing out of the hair naturally
follows.
The use of KATHAIRON
will eradicate dandruff, there
by preventing the hair from
falling out, and will beautify
and will restore life and vigor.
1t will not do impossibilities,
such as turning grey hair in

doubt the best preparation on
the market to preserve and
improve the hair.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
80 near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
