the whale, the eagle, the grizzly bear,
the frog and the raven. Each native
was entitled to use as his or her family
crest the image of the creatures by
which the tribe was designated. As if
it were a prophecy, too, of the impor-
tant part women were to play in the
future development of Alaska, all in
heritances and relationships took their
rise in the female line among the ma
tives there. If a man of the eagle clan
married woman of the frog clan he
was obliged to become a frog, and all
his children were frogs.
The images of the animals that now
form the creSts and are engraved on
the totem poles are regarded as only
the symbols of powerful, protecting
gods that guard each tribe and are
said to have been anciently visible to
the ancestors of the present natives.
The totem pole itself was erected as a
monument to a prominent Eskimo
when he died. 1t was carved and
painted with figures showing the clan
to which he belonged. Through south
western Alaska many of these remark
able columns still remain, though com
paratively few persons in the States
have had opportunity of seeing them.

one OF the pet grievances against our
sex is that we talk over our servants
with each other. It is only natural to
appeal to some one in time of perplex-
ity, and if the husbands were not so
afraid of being worried perhaps there
would not be so much need for discus
sion of the matters with feminine
friends.
1t is a woman's nature to be mother
ly. and she viii instinctively cater to
her husbands comfort. She does not

thought of his home coming with a
touch of sentiment, and her heart

tenderness like this goes further to-

not think that being tender toward a
woman is pampering her weakness
makes a nice husband.

WAYS OF MAKING A LIVING.

A young girl earns quite a sum every
week by planning meals. The flag of
racking ones brain to have a variety
and yet not too greatly increase the
housekeeping accountant is the am
bition of every good housewife. There
are many who would pay a considerable
sum a week to be relieved of all that
worry, and if a girl proved herself
worthy of confidence in that direction
there is not one who could not count en-
a living from her married friends.
One young lady makes quite an in
come by making ties for her gentlemen
friends. She had renovated and re-
modelled her brothers ties till she had
learned exactly how each was made.
Having reputation for excellent taste
and clever needIework, it was not diff
cult for her to establish a clientele
among her brothers friends. The first
few were modest attempts in dark silks,
but later she branched out and made
all sorts Of fancy cravats, which she
sold at a third of the price that would
be asked in the stores.

WOMEN MUST LEARN
SOMETHING USEFUL.

THERE is on my mind matter 1
cannot get rid of till 1 write it
off. A newspaper item mentions
that two women, sisters of one of the
most successful comedians ever on the
American stage, are in dire destitution.
Their brother, a man who has made
half the people of this country laugh
till their laughing muscles ached, is
dead. He helped his sisters during
their lifetime, the item says. but now
they are beggared. They have tried to
get employment, and one had a place
till she was displaced because she was
DID, she having reached the venerable
and hoary age of fifty-four. The other
sister is odd" too, the newspa per
young man adds, being forty eight.
These two ladies are indeed old, typ
ical specimens of the old woman who
never learned to do any money earn
ing work, but was content to drift
through life hanging to the neck of
some man, husband, son or brother,
just so she could be supported" No
trade or useful occupation did that old
woman learn. 1t was mans place to
support woman, and woman's place
to be supported. That settled it. This
old woman had a horror of the new wo-
man who learned trades and profess
sions and took mems work. away from
them. None of this new woman bust
ness would she have for herself or her
daughters. They must retain their
sweet. womanly dependence on man,
must marry and have homes and men
to foot their bills, more or less grudg
ingly, as the case might be.
Verify the old woman is reaping her
reward!
/ In poorhouses in charity homes, eat
ing the salt and bitter bread of depend
ence among relatives who will rejoice
when she is dead, as a burden they are
rid of-thus the old woman is reaping
the fruit of her own willful stupidity
and blindness. She would not see that
social and industrial conditions have
changed through all the world. Now
she is taking the consequences.
Apparently it was considered by the
writer of the newspaper item a cruel
wrong to the two women that nobody
put his hand in his or her pocket and
forked forth the money to feed and
clothe them the rest of their lives.
Now, viii anybody tell US what they or
any other women like them have done
that they should be taken care of?
What good is their continued existence
to the race that the race should make
pocket sacrifice to prolong it? Does
even a woman deserve anything she
does not earn?
These are home thrusting questions
that women must answer.
The parents, rich or poor, who do not
train their daughters for practical life
are criminals. If they are rich, let
them give each girl a certain amount
of property to manage for herself; let
them make her thoroughly learn every
detail of it's care, not trusting to any
body else. The world is full of human
sharks who will devour a woman even
more quickly than a man because she
is usually easier prey. If the parents
are poor or in moderate circumstances
the daughter must acquire a trade or
profession whereby to earn her bread
