Run your fingers down the string of
ds.whlch little girl brings home
from Kindergarten and you may come
across cylindrical bead. long and
thick, with an odd, mnrky, creamy
tint to it.
1t is for all the world like half
inch. of clay pipe steih, eand is nothing
less than one of the beads manufac-
that traffic was at it's height. Such
are the wry twists which Father Time
gives to the commerce of nations that
to-day it is finding its way into school
houses to beguile the hands of tiny
Americans.
These beads formed no small factor
in the trade in BLACK ivory and Bos-
ton and New York ships used to set
out for the Slave Coast laden with so
cases or more of the curious baubles,
an industry which was kept up secret
ly until nearly the time of the civil
war. Stanley found the beads far in
the interior of Africa, where they
passed as the universal currency un-
der the name of sofi, and where they
still doubtless circulate largely.
When the slave traders were finally
put out of business a New York firm
found itself with a quantity of the
beads on hand which were of no pos
sible use in any other line of business.
So, at least, it was thought then. They
were slowed away in boxes for a gen
Grafton and became part of the stock
of the best known of New York bead
importers.

ran rock efficiently provides for the
-Su1.Vival of the fttest only.
Sometimes the island has been
swept by epidemics which have
threatened determination of the
tribe as in the summer of 1900, when
disease carried off at least third Of
the entire population. The previous
winter had been a hard one, and the
passing of the ice had found the peo-
pie weakened by hunger and unable
to take advantage of the spring hunt
ing season; few seal.or walrus were
taken. and aE.whaler; visiting the
island to trade had left the disease
which spread rapidly and disastrous
ly, as it always does in the fertile soil
of a primitive race. When the United
States revenue cutter Bear visited
the island on the I'd of July, 1900,
many had died and nearly all were
sick. but little could be done except
to give them the food SO much needed.
On the second visit of the Bear in
August the island was found entirely
deserted by the natives. Lean dogs
walled dismally from the rocks as our
boat approached. Not a live human
being was to be found, but the trail OF
the pestilence was everywhere visible.
Later it was learned that the sur
viving King islanders had crossed
over to the mainland and established
themselves near Cape Nome aud Port
Clarence. Some have returned again
to the island, but the time seems not
far distant when the remnant of the
tribe will be absorbed by the natives

the spray to meet the lowShanging
clouds that hover about this lonely
rock.
The only place on the island where
a landing is possible is on the south
side. Here the face Of the cliff is cut
by a steep ravine extending upward
to the level plateau which forms the
summit of the island. There is no
beach, and al all times landing is diff
ficult and dangerous, and only pos
sibie during the most favorable
weather.
The houses, some forty in number,
are scattered without regard to or
der, wherever they can be made to
hang on the almost vertical face OF
the cliff. They are so constructed and
set on top of one another as almost
to suggest one large communal dwell
ing, havi.g perhaps, a far-fetched re-
semblance to the cliff dwellers OF Ari-
zona and New Mexico, differing vast
ly, however, in material and mode OF
construction. The summer houses
are square boxes of walrus skin
stretched on frames of drift-wood
lashed together and guyed to the
rocks with Thongs. no nails, screws or
other civilized methods of joining be-
ing used.
AS in most Eskimo villages there is
one house larger than the rest, known
as the "Kazhime," which answers the
purpose of a public house or club, and
it's hospitality is impartlally shared
by the entire community. 1t is often
the home of the young unmarried
men, and the place of entertainment
for strangers. 1t is also the place of
general gatherings, whc~e the long
Arctic night is enlivened by the
shouts and laughter of the halt-n aked
dancers, and the RIDE, monotonous
music of the tom-tom. Here the gos-
sips meet, here the Shaman performs
his tricks of magic, and the hunters
of bear and walrus relate their deeds
of daring on sea and ice foe.
Inside the ordinary dwelling low
bench extends around two or three
sides of the single room, which serves
by day as seat, and by night as a
bed. The room is usually about
ten or fifteen feet square, and in this
single apartment a whole family, and
sometimes two or three families,
spend their entire. indoor life. The
household equipment is of the sim

ing that his jewels had been eatn up
by mice.
When it comes to the&source of the
bead supply there are more contrarie-
ties than ever. Imitation pearls and
metal beads come largely from France
and yet beads from Bohemia, Egyptian
and Turkish beads as they are called
the quaint necklace beads which
smack of the far East-are made in
Venice: and the long colOred beads
brought back in draperies from Japan
were originally transparent and turned
out in Europe. The Japanese merely
give them a porcelain lining.
Real coral comes, most of it. from

cheaper colored beads are made in

Jamestown used for their manufac-

being starred in unfortunate pieces,
the attractive Casino girl suffered a
slight eclipse after her first big sue

fortune has smiled upon her once
more, and she is now restored to IA
Vor.
For the last few months. Miss May
has been playing in Kitty Grey" an
English version of the French play
which was done in America under the
name of The Founders" In the
piece, which is a musical comedy,
Miss May has the part of a pretty, but
prudish little baroness. and although
it is exactly the sort of part which
best suits her, she plays it with a
brightness that proves that the folk
who insisted that she had no talent
made a mistake. King Edward, who
went to see Kitty Grey not long
ago, commended" the erstwhile Sal
walton Army lassie to his box and told
her that he had never seen her look
or act more charmingly.
