The people are industrious, with
good brains that make fine man

other people, and can do great
things with their hands.

loud" but lay their plans we'll

JUNEAU Month
May 20 to June 81

June people are very restless
in disposition, and versatile in
talents, trying different occupa-

one. They have keen intuitions
and inspiration. They make
brilliant public speakers.
They are some times timid and
melancholy, then again are very
bold in p~roclaiming new truths.
The great philosopher, r. w.
Emerson, Walt Whitman and
Queen Victoria were born in this
month.
When June people concentrate
on some one subject they show
great power of thought and ex-
ecution.

Pushed Aside by Whites.
White mans enterprise and activity
has also taken from them many of
the means by which they earned live
lihood. The great chieftains used to
make the people work on the farms,
and the fisheries supplied a never
ending source of wealth.. But the
white man has polizeda5 these
means Of existence, and the Maori
loses the wealth he might have made
and also the blessings of health that
come as the reward of toll.
His crops are put in too late, and
he consistently neglects them, with
the result that the whole people lead
a hand-to-mouth existence, and there
is constant shortage of supplies.
Sometimes this leads to conditions Of
absolute famine. Many of the white
mans diseases unknown to the coun-
try before he came have now made
their advent, and are reaping a big
harvest of death among the unfortu-
In fact, it is becoming rare to see a
Maori who is past middle age.
Children are dying by the whole
sale and young men and young wom-
en- apparently robust are cut down
suddenly and terribly by fever and
quick consumption.
Maoris Are Fatalists.
British authorities have recognized
the condition, and have done all that
was possible to effect remedy. If
the Maoris, themselves were only diff
ferently constituted, it might be pos
sible to do something, but they are
fatalists, and they view the whole
situation with resigned Indifference.
They live in the past. Their few
surviving poets tell of what was when
all the country for hundreds of miles
around dreaded the prowess of the
mighty Maori, but his day is passed,
and to bring him back again is wasted

The Cross of Mary was founded to
encourage service among the sick and
wounded in time of war. The decora-
tion was originally limited to mem
bers of the Catholic faith, but these
barriers have now been removed.
Founded by Victoria.
Great Britain has four important
orders that are within reach of
women. In 1877, when Queen Victoria
assumed the title empress of India,
she founded the Imperial Order of the
Crown of India, which may be con.
ferred upon princesses of the royal
house and wives and female relatives
of Indian princes and holders of high
Office in India; such as the viceroy,
commander-in-chief, etc.
King Edward founded the Order of
Merit. This is actually intended for
men, but the ice was broken when it
was conferred on Miss Florence Night
ingale, and it has usually been the ex

to make it absolutely reward of mer-
it, and many an humble woman re-
ceived the ordersfor services she had
done her country in its hour of crisis.
Germany also boasts another order
of similar kind, the Service Cross
for Women and Girls This was the
outcropping of the war with France,
when the daughters of the land of the
kaiser once more wrought nightly
for the good of those who were bear
ing arms at the front.
France once had many orders. but
the substitution of a republican for a
monarchical form of government has
had the effect of gradually removing
them all excepting the Legion of Hon
or, which continues to be a decoration
most eagerly sought by all French
men.
The Legion of Honor was estab-
lished by Napoleon in 1902, and vas
at first known as the Order of the Ea-
gle. Like many others, it underwent
a change, and finally came to be
known by its present name.
The first woman to receive the Le-
gion was Marie Jean Schelink. In
1892 she enlisted in the Second Bel
gian battalion, went through several
campaigns, in the course Of which she
was wounded more than once. After
the battle OF Austerlitz she was made
lieutenant colonel, and was deco
rated with the order by Napoleon him
self. q
King John of Saxony founded in
1870 an order with notably high ap-
peal. It is the reward OF work in the
cause OF humanity, and is known as
tie Order of Sidonia.

Maori Race Is Rapidly
Passing into Oblivion
Most Superb of Primitive Races Victim of Vices
Brought to Country by White Invaders

The pride of all the aboriginal
races, the far-famed Maoris of New
Zealand, are in their decline, and
soon will be only memory.
This superb savage race, whose
proportions and handsome appear
ance once made them the wonder of
the ethnologist, has lost it's vitality,
and Is now only shadow of what it
When the first white men entered
New Zealand, and encountered the
Maori race, they were then a people
several thousand strong; now the
number has steadily shrunk till the
last census shows that only a few
more than forty-seven thousand are
still living.
Not only in numbers has the de-
cline been marked. 1t is also in the
health and appearance that the sad
story is told. Once the Maori was
healthy, vigorous and prolific, pow
erful and well proportioned. Today
1t is nation Of lowered physique and
declining birth rate.
Experts who have studied condi-
tions In the country say that nothing
can now save the race, and it is only
a question Of very few generations
before it is wiped out altogether.
Look to End With Stoicism.
The Maori chieftains themselves
understand this to be fact, and they
look forward to the end of a great
race with grim stoicism. They charge
their Aate to the coming of the Euro
pean, and draw a comparison be-
tween the manner in which the Maori
rat was destroyed by the rat that
Dame over in the white mans ship.
Similarly they expect to have their
national life, in fact their physical
life, finally crushed out of them by
the conditions that arose when white
men assumed control of their land.

have been the downfall of the un-
fortunate aborigines. Left to their

prospering. But when the white man
came he gave them new IDEAS One
Of these was the use of firearms, and
to these can be charged a great deal
of what has followed.
When the savages first saw guns,
and saw warriors drop without ap-
parent cause when the flash of flame
was sent from the weapons of the
invader, they got new idea. If they
had guns they, too, could become
great warriors. Not only could they
repel the invader, but they could also
become conquerors, and take to them
selves for their own land of other
peoples.
