Aboriginal LANGUAGES.

While the American aborigines, par
dcularly In the Southwest, have shown
aptitude for some of the handicrafts,
notably tina; of the potter and of the
weaver, they are not often considered
expert in the art of speech, and or
dinarily we think of their dialects as
rude, impoverished jargOns in which
tale is told indifferently, unmindful
that the best literature of all nations
was produced at the period in their
development where barbarlsm, as we
visualize it, left off and culture began.
In fact, we have come to think of
their silence as proverbial. They do
not trot out their ideas voIubly as we
do, but this Is not through lack Of a
vehicle for the purpose; on the con-
trary, many of the tribes-the Mic
macs for one-have a noticeably va
RED means of expression.
