The natives Of Alaska are fast dwin-

In their new avocations they have be-

But the higher race is not responsible
for all their MS. The unsanitary state
IN which they live is not conducive to

The Esquimau has some qualities OF

bright and ingenious. simple minded as a

takes no thought Of the morrow. He is
