LOS ASIATIC COUSIN.
HE FOUND
American Indian Resembles Tribes
4cross the Pacific.

One Of the most interesting collections that
has ever been brought TO the American Museum
of Natural History is now being unpacked and
made ready for exhibition in that institution.
II was brought 10 this country by Waldenar
Boeoras and waldemar J. Jochelson, who spent
-vo and half years on the Northern Asiatic
uoss+ as the representatives of the Morris X
tesup North Pacific Expedition. The country in
which these men. with their wives and few
assistants. guides and interpreters, travelled is
for the most part unknown TO the civilized
world and the object Of the expedition was not
only 10 learn what they could about the tribes
.n the country north and west Of the Behring
sea but to discover, if possible. the points of
affinity between certain Asiatic and certain
American tribes. Dr.. Boaz, of the museum.
had spent much time in the north region, had
made valuable discoveries bearing on the sub
sect and his researches did much TO stimulate
the further efforts which were made possible
by M Jesup's nberaiity.
The leaders of the expedition are both mem
bers OF the St Petersburg Academy Of Sci
ences. both have travelled extensively in the
northern part of Asia and are familiar with

thousand specimens, including ethnographical

ing Of the Asiatic tribes which show simii-

An Optimistic Temperament.

IL a woman wants to retain her
youthful appearance she must mingle
with other people. read good books
and cultivate an optimistic tempera-
ment. Nothing so destroys the youth
ful contour of the face as taking the
cares of life too seriously. House
wives of the Martha type who ARE
troubled about many things" have
rigid, set lips that plainly reveal the
loss of those qualities that make a
woman lovable. When our characters
lack cheerfulpess and amiability our
feathers will unconsciously lose those
soft curves which are the outward
signs Of inward beauty of thought and
Keeling, says Julia Teresa Butler in
the Pittsburg Observer. The best
workers, the ones who accomplish the
most good, are those whose useful
ness is conductive of much happiness
to others as well as themselves. The
secret of true success lies in making
our lives beautiful in that kindness of
spirit which makes us creatures of
purer mould.

later the son, standing little taller, al

sobered by a life of waiting, OF play

The queen selected white for her
robes. Now white is unlucky in MIS-

only three Snonarchs of England and
all came to violent end. Richard III
was crowned in white satin. so was
the unfortunate Henry vi. Then came

On this occasion the robes were more

to note that the Austrian minister
surpassed everyone else in magnifi-

Stockton Wrote Poor Poetry.

The late Frank Stockton never
could write successful poem. In
this connection the novelist frequently
told good story on himself. In his
youth, in conjunction with his brother
John, he wrote many poems with
which he afflicted the editors of vari-
Gus Canadian periodicals. The effu-
sions always came back. The editor
of one magazine was an especial tar
get Of the Stocktons, but as none of
their poems was ever accepted the
brothers came to the conclusion that
the editor had no conception of good
poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted
up and dispatched to him an ode little
known, from Milton. Within two
days they received check and let
ter of thanks. "I came to the con-
clusion that that editor knew poetry

An unfortunate incident of the early
career of Bret Harte grew out of his
acceptance of an invitation to deliver
Phi Beta Kappa poem at Harvard
soon after he had published his poem
concerning Truthful James. He came
to Cambridge and supplemented a
learned address from one of the philo-
sophers of the time with a wishy-
washy poem that any amateur poet
might have addressed to his mis-
tress's eyebrows. 1t fell very fiat
on the distinguished audience, and no
one appreciated this fact better tnan
