ALASKAN INDIAN WOMEN.
They Have Artistic Ability Despite Their
Toilsome Lives,

They Have Artistic Ability Despite Their
1oilsome Lives.
The huge, expressionless face Of an
Alaska Indian woman shows but little
evidence of any ambition or ability to
perform even the simplest features of
domestic art, and yet the skillful and
artistic results Of the handiwork Of
these untutored aborigines is much
sought after by the tourists who visit
their villages during the summer.
Moreover though the women are all
fat and lazy-looking, their lives are
not uninterrupted ease, notwithstand-
Ing that their needs are few. Abund-
ance Of fuel is all about them, and
food, which with them is synonymous
with fish, swims almost to their doors.
But the procuring as we'll as the pre-
pairing OF this food is all accomplished
by the women. During the summer
they leave the villages and towns for
the islands in less frequented waters,
where they camp for weeks at a time,
catching and curing the fish for winter
use, while the men .lazily watch them
or paddle and canoe, or otherwise
amuse themselves.
IT an Indians wife is In Ill health
or too old to work he marries another
younger wife, usually relative of the
first one, who is expected to provide
the food, while the first wife cares for
the house and children. Fish and ber-
ries furnishing almost the only food of
these people, the women have little
scope or ambition for developing culin-
airy art. but in matters of personal
adornment they take keen delight. Dur
ing the long, dark winter they weave
beautiful blankets and baskets for
their own use and to sell. The blank
cts are made from the strong rough
wool OF the wild mountain sheep. Yet
some Of these are as soft as silk, and
in beauty Of coloring and intricacy of
design rival the oriental rugs and
hangings. 1t usually takes a woman
six months to complete one blanket,
but many of them sell for prices rang
ing from $50 to 5000. The much
sought-after, genuine Chilket blanket
is about four feet long and two and
one-half feet wide at each end, but as
one side is pointed, the center is foot
wider than the ends, and on this side is
orna1 nted with a 10-inch fringe.
These are worn in the dance, thrown

most formidable Of any six vessels n
the American navy. The Brooklyn
stands first in the list OF American
vessels. carrying twenty guns in her
main batteries alone, while the Massa-
chusetts follows closely on her heels.
Even the Minneapolis and the Column
bia have eleven guns in their main
batteries and compare very favorably
with the other frst-class American
ships. The Katahdin, of course, is not
measured in strength by her arma-
ment. She is still acknowledged to be
one OF the most terrible engines of de-
struction which modern naval con-
struction has evolved. Her turtle
back ram could dosa marvellous work
In battle where the larger ships
would be powerless. She completes
most remarkable squad.
Outside of battle in the vicinity
OF Havana the squadron does not look
for any severe actions in the near fu-
ture. A bombardment of any of the
northern ports would be attempted if
at all by comparatively small num-
Der of Spanish ships. The approach of
the American fleet would doubtless
drive them off in speedy retreat.
The possibility of an attack on Span
ISIS possessions is the only other likely.
Porto Rico might become the object
Of attack and attention might even
be distracted to the Canaries. Neither
seems to be more than remotely pos
sible. This work will devolve, should
it be decided upon, on Schley's fleet,
and an attack on Spain itself would be
led by them.
The new squadron under Commo-
dcre Howell, which will relieve Schley
of the work of defending the coast, is
also a strong fleet. It's duty will be,
in addition to defense of the coast, the
destruction of Spanish commerce on
the high seas. The San Francisco and
the New Orleans will be the main
fighting ships in the squadron, while
the Oregon and Topeka will doubtless
be added to it when they are home
ready for service. The liners-the st.
Paul, the st. Louis, the Harvard and
the Yale-are four more Of Howell's
boats, while the Panther, the Badger,
the Yankee, the Dixie, the Yosemite
and the Prairie complete the list.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer, "
and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
aide and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost 90 much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who Is firm believer In your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
