LIP BUTTONS IN ALASKA.
Archaeologists Discover FOrerunner of
Modern Decoration

Perhaps the most interesting archaeo-
logical discovery made on the north coast
of Alaska has a rv.atlon to the present
methods of personal decoration now used
by the natives Of Alaska, the most sig
nifcant feature of which is the wearing
of lip buttons, or labrets, by the men,
says Harper's Magazine. The present
custom is that when boy is IA or 16
years of age holes are pierced In his
lower lip, one below each corner of the
mouth.
A small wooden plug is at first insert
ed to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month a bigger
plug is used till finally the openings are
half an inch in diameter. At this point
the young man begins to wear stone or
ivory plugs These ornaments are put
in from the inside, ordinarily. as one
might insert a button into a shirt front.
Usually the two buttons worn are each
of different sort, while sometimes only
one of the holes is filled, and in summer
men are occasionally met with who wear
no buttons at all. When a visitor is seen
approaching, however, the ornaments are
always inserted, for one does not feel
dressed without them. In preparing for
sleep they are usually removed.

This is an unusually high average, and
1t demonstrates beyond the shadow of

Of the Dominion still know how to

Its average of contract wheat was only
70 per cent. Good weather through
out the season was an important fac
tor, of course, in insuring the high
quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable character will be en-
countered for long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that fair
average for a term of years will be

NEW FLORA FOR AN ISLAND.
Start of Vegetation on Lava Bed-DuTa-
ton of Life of Seed.

In 1888 the island of Krakatoa, in
the Sunda strait. was covered to a depth
Of 30 yards with lava by tremendous
volcano outburSt. An interesting bO-
tanlcal problem was suggested. Here
was an area of new rock absolutely de-
void of plant life. How would 1t be re-
conquered and repeOpled by the vege-
table world? So at the suggestion of
Treub the island has been kept under
observation since 1886.
In that year it was found that those
simplest of all plants, the socalled blue
green algae, had formed thin, black
films over the surface. In this a number
of ferns and a few Towering plants mad
established themselves. By 1897 the is
land was covered with q charac. erstic
shore vegetation, including Il species of
lpomaea. Ferns predOminated and there
were very few shrubs and no trees. The
plants belonging to all the principal
groups. Ferns are no longer dominant
and the forests are rapidly increasing.
In a recent issue of the proceedings
of the Royal Society" J. White gives the
results of some interesting experiments
on the ferments and latent life of resting
seeds That the substance of germinat-
ing seeds undergoes a process of fermen-
tatiOn by which it is rendered suitable
for the nourishment of the embryo is well
known. This is illustrated by the change
of the starch of the barley seed into
sugar during the process of mailing. 1t
is not, however, known whether germina-
ton can take place in the absence of a
ferment. Mr.. White, however, finds that
the ferments in the seeds may retain
their activity long after the power of
termination has been lost. The ferment
in seed may retain it's power for TWEEN
ty years or more.
The seeds specially studied by Mr.
White were wheat, barley and other ce-
reals. He finds that the duration of the
power of termination varies much. In
rye it is about five years, but in wheat
from eleven to sixteen. No seeds which
had lost their power of negotiating could
be induced to grow by adding a ferment
And if this was added to one germinat-
ing feebly the growth was retarded.
If further proof were wanted that the
stories Of wheat terminating after lying
for thousands Of years in Egyptian
tombs have no foundation in fact it is
supplied by Mr.. Whites determination
that the life of a wheat seed is only from
eieven to sixteen years.--LOndon Globe

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional, disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J,
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood and

cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

DENIES AMERICA HAS OWN ART.
Prof. Santayana Says People of This
Country Lack Initiative.

Country Lack Initiative.
What is American art? Is there any
such thing after all?
Prof George Santayana, Harvard's
poet and philosopher, stood at the head
of table in the banquet room of the
Cliff Dwellers at luncheon and assert
ed that there was no American standard
for art and that Americans lacked in
itiative and individuality.
The night before he had told the TWEEN
tieth Century club that Americans had
no ethics. The question was put to him,
as suggested by that criticism, whether
Americans at least had an aesthetic
sense.
Americans are cultured replied the
Harvard professor. ''They have a thor
ough knowledge of art. They have
picked up here and there from the mas
tiers until a genuine appreciation of art
has been developed. But they have orig
mated nothing of their own. They have
not established the American standard.
American style is copied from the Rom
anesque and the composite of France.
They have gone abroad for their ideas.
But there is no place in the world where
you will find a people with a more cul-
tivated taste for things artistic. Chi

AMERICAS LEISURE CLASS.
Growing Rapidly and Menaces Society
with Idlers.

America has a leisure class, and it is
all the time growing. While there are
people who, from loyalty to some fanci-
full principles are indisposed to admit
this, the fact remains. Every country as
it grows older must of necessity foster
the growth of leisure class that will
continue to flourish as long as stable POI
litical and social conditions are maln-
tanned This leisure class can be
source of great usefulness and an ele-
ment of national strength, as it is for the
most part in England, or it may be vain
and spendthrift, dangerous cause of
weakness to the body polite, as it was i'll
France before the French revolution.
The question to be solved in America
is which of these two fields our growing
leisure class shall occupy. BY DISPOSE
ton and heredity it might naturally be
expected to follow British precedent, but
unfortunately certain tendencies have
from time to time appeared that give
ground for apprehension. Wanton ex
travagance, lack of purpose and negatlOn
of responsibility are far too common
Great numbers of our men and women
whose circumstances make them masters
of their own time devote themselves al
most exclusively to the pursuit of pleas
ure. There are, to be sure, many who
have some serious purpose and labor con
sistently for the realization of certa II
ideals, but they are few compared to the
idlers. Unless the unoccupled find some
worthy object for their energies Amer
can character and ideals are bound u
suffer- Philadelphia Telegraph.

The Policeman's Elysium.

M. Ota, the chief of police in Toxic,
now visiting Paris, states that the
Japanese police have an easier time
than their confereres in Europe. Crime
in the land of the chrysanthemum is al
most limited to theft and tragedies, or
serious cases of bodily harm resulting
from street brawls. 1t is next to i'm
possible, the chief of the Toxic police
says, for a murder to be committed
without some one hearing of it at the
mon ent. This is due to the fact that
bamboo, so any noise in a house occa-
stoned by robbers or assassips,, would
not fail to attact the attention of neigh
