A Strange Custom of Alaska.
From Harper's MagaxiI


Perhaps the most interesting archeo-
logical discovery made on the north coast
of Alaska has a relation to the present
methods of personal decoration now used
by the natives OF Alaska, the most sig
nificant feature of which is the wearing
OF lip buttons. or labrets by the men.
The present custom is that when boy
is fourteen or sixteen years of age holes
are pierced i'll his lower lip, one below
each corner of the mouth. 4 small wood
en- plug is at first inserted to keep the
hole from growing together. and month
by month a bigger and 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 i'll from the in
side ordinarily, as one might insert a
button into shirt front. Usually the
two buttons worn are each of a different
sort. while sometimes only one of the
holes is filled, and in summer men are oc-
casionally met with who wear no buttons
at all. Whensa visitor is seen approach
ing however, the ornaments are always
inserted. for one does not feel dressed
without them. In preparing for sleep
they are usually removed.

Boswell Property Transferred.

In 1887 the government lots = to and

lego and from 1881 to 1853 tax title was
given for some others.
In these squares in the first assessment

and in $50 half that amount and less
was the rate. Then il fell to half cent;
this, too, in 1900. when on squares north
quite settlement made and
church Or chapel was erected nearby.

CRAZE OF ROLLER SKATING.
Magistrate Turns London's Streets

LONDON, February Is, 1910.
a North London magistrate has let
loose widespread terror on residents
in suburbs with asphalt streets and foot
pa tbs. A boy was summoned for roller
skating on the sidewalk, but the magis-
trate decided that roller-skating on the
footpath is no offense in law, and thus
made glad the hearts of many hundreds
of young Londoners. Since the roller
skating craze took hold of the public the
youth of the town who cannot afford to
patrOniZe the Kinks have become experts
in the skating art, and the open-air pas
time f1OurisheS everywhere.
The cost of the skates is an important
item-often. indeed an insurmountable
one-in which event a couple of young
skaters combine to buy a pair and be-
come one-legged performers. The ideal
skating ground is the city, and after the
business of the day is over there is a
rush Of youngsters through the thorough
