THE FUEGIANS.
They Are Stunted and Misshapen as
Well as HideousIy Ugly.

They Are Stunted and Misshapen as
Well as HideousIy Ugly.
At the two extremes of the Amer
ican continent dwell the most wretch
ed races of beings-the Eskimos at the
north and the Fuegians at the south
OF the two the Fuegians appear to be
the lowest in the civilized scale, their
general aspect being wretched and de-
graded.
Their hideously ugly faces express
the grossest stupidity, and their per-
sons are both stunted and misshapen.
The average height of the men does
not exceed five feet two inches. that
of the women four feet eight inches,
and owing to their habit of standing
in STOPPING attitude they look even
less than their actual height.
But, although they are veritable pyg-
mics in stature, yet their bodies are
exceedingly large, and their general
appearance is such as might result from
tacking on to the trunk of a giant the
arms and legs of child.
Their color appears to be copper
bronze, but as nearly all are begrimed
with smoke 1t Is difficult to specify
their precise hue. The very young
children are light brown in color with
the exception of the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet, which
are of a dirty yellow.
The heads of the adults are covered
with coarse black hair which falls in
lank masses to the neck behind and
on each side Of the face, but is cut
away from before the eyes.
The forehead is low and retreating,
the nose broad, fat and furnished with
immense nostrils, and the mouth is
very wide, with thick, protruding lips,
the upper one being very much elon-
gated.
The eyes are small and placed some
what obliquely, the iris is invariably
black in color, and the white Of the
eye has a distinctly yellowish tinge.
Moreover, owing apparently to the irri-
tation produced by the smoke of the
fires over which they are so constant
ly crouching, they are very generally
blear eyed.
The teeth, although very much dis
colored, are, as rule, regular and
sound. The men have naturally only
q few black bristles scattered over the
upper lip and chin. These, however,
are carefully extracted from time to
time by means of two mussel SHELLS,
and very frequently the hair Of the
eyebrows is removed by a similar
process. The males appear to pay no
attention whatever to the dressing of
their hair but the women are some
what more particular and may fire.

THE WAISTCOAT.
It Became Popular by the Patronage
of Charles II.

1t Became Popular by the Patronage
of Charles II.
Few men realize how much they are
being influenced in their dress by King
Charles H., and yet it is to that mon
arch we owe the adoption of the waist
coat as regular article of gentle
mans dress. says London NJ. A. p.
At least that is so if we are to accept
the statement Of Pepys. who in his
diary under date of Oct. 1G. 1866
states: THE king has declared his res
olution to set fashion which he
would never alter" and This day
King Charles II. began to put on his
vest. 1t is very fine and handsome
garment"
Prior to this date they were excep-
tional garments, and there is even
some doubt whether they were orig
inally worn by ladies or gentlemen,
though there is good reason to believe
they superseded the doublet, such as
was worn by Raleigh, Essex and other
notables of the Elizabethan age.
A neat waistcoat wrought in silk
and gold" is mentioned in Patient
Grissell" 1902, and there is painting
in distemper of vest on the walls of
Winchester cathedral, dated 1880, so
that what Charles II. took was merely
an existing garment, which he re-
modelled, and by his patronage so pop
ularized it that it became a standard
article of gentlemans dress.

Clever Reasoning.

Rather an original lesson in political
economy was that once taught by the
japanese nobleman Awoto and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold in
Seas and Lands
One evening as he was going to the
palace to take his turn in keeping the
night watch he let ten cash drop out
Of his tinder case into the stream and
then bought fifty cash worth of torches
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending so much
in order to recover so little, and he re-
piled, with 4 froWn:
"Sirs, you are foolish and ignorant of
economics. Had / not sought for these
ten cash they would have been lost
forever-sunk in the bottom Of the
Namerigawa. The fifty cash which |
have expended on torches will remain
in the hands of the tradesman. Wheth-
er he has them or is no matter, but
not q single one of the sixty has been
lost, and that is a clear gain to the
country"
