LIP BUTTONS.
Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives of
Northern Alaska.

Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives of
Northern Alaska.
Perhaps the most interesting archaic
illogical discovery made on the north
coast of Alaska has a relation to the
present methods Of personal decora-
ton now used by the natives Of Alas
Ia, the most significant feature of
which is the wearing of lip buttons, or
labrets, by the men.
The present custom is that when a
boy is fourteen or sixteen years of age
holes are pierced in his lower lip, one
below each corner Of the mouth \
small wooden plug is at first Inserted
to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month 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 in from the inside
ordinarily as one might insert a but
ton into a shirt front. Usually the two
buttons worn are each Of a different
sort. while sometimes only one of the
holes is filled. ana in summer men are
occasionally met with who wear no
buttons at all,
When a visitor is seen approaching,
however. the ornaments are always in
serted, for one does not feel dressed
without them In preparing for sleep
they are usually removed.-Y. Stefans-
