These Native Sihsr1aas.
Waldemar Jochelson. the Russian SCI
enlist who has recently returned to the
United States from Siberia, where he
spent two years as head of the Jesup
expedition, tells many interesting things
Of the maritime Koryaks living in scat
tered villages along the shores south
Of the Boring and Okhotsk seas. A
striking and characteristic phase Of
koryak life, according to Mr.. Jochel-
son, is their peculiar hourglass-like
houses. These are remarkable subter-
ranean habitations, having fetid at
mosphere almost unbearable to the
white traveller, From distance one
Of the houses has the appearance of
some huge inverted funnel arising out
Of snowbank The craterlike top. be-
sides forming a roof. is used as gen.
eral storing place for food and all sorts
of articles. 1t slopes downward to an
aperture in the center which serves as a
smoke hole, ventilator and passageway
below. A number of logs arranged in q
circuit support the framework of the
roof, the lower end Of which rests on
secondary pile of timbers forming the
slanting walls of the interior.
For nearly nine months the whole
house is banked and covered up almost
to the protecting roof with tons of snow
chinked in with frozen earth and de.
bris. This brings the inmates at all
times about ten feet below the surface.
Undoubtedly the most astonishing and
spectacular feature of the Koryak
house is the means of entrance. The
roof is attained by scaling narrow
split log extending down from the top,
having holes cut in it for the feet and
hands. The interior is reached by de.
scending another perpendicular hewn
stairway covered with slippery coat
Ing of grease and SCOT, which none but
native can successfully accomplish.
The Enclosure has ground floor and il
barren of anything in the shape of fur
niture.
Large copper vessels for cooking seal
and blubber and a kettle used for
melting snow are the chief household
utensils. The diet is limited almost ex-
clusively to fish. half cooked seal and
whale flesh, with Russian brick tea as
an occasional luxury. Some thirty to
forty Of both sexes, usually relations,
inhabit one dwelling. Small skin Sleep
Ing booths, some six feet high by five in
width. heated by lamp in the center,
are arranged around the walls. In
variably thick fumes of smoke and SCOT
fill the Chicago News.

She Played the Soy.

A Viennese baroness, recently MUIR
dered, carried the art of being at war
with servants to the highest degree Of
perfection. She had secret system
Of tubes leading from her sitting room
to the kitchen and servants rooms. BY
means of these she was able to hear
all manner Of uncomplimentary refer
ences to herself. She enjoyed this
strategic advantage very much, for she
was always haling her servants into
the courts, and she slept with load
ed revolver under her pillow for fear
Of assassination.

A Tradition Dishonorsed.

The Choctaw Nation is Inundated be-
cause one of their number has broken
bis word. A Choctaw's word has been
as good as white mans bond. This
honorable tradition of the tribe has,
however, been violated. Robert L. Fol-
som. full blooded Choctaw, was
charged with murder and the time for
bis trial fixed. Then he was released,
and when the trial day came he did not
appear. He was finally arrested in
Utah and taken to Durant, in Indian
Territory, where he will be tried. Fol-
som is said to be the first man Of his
tribe to flee from justice.
