SCHOOLS FOR ALASKA NATIVES.
What United States Commissioner
Samuel J. Marsh says about the quick
med energies of the federal govern
ment in behalf of the native school
children of Alaska is encouraging.
Nine new school houses are to be
erected at points where they are most
needed.
Of course the good work of the mis
sions in Alaska will not be Interfered
with; the policy of the government
will be to give more earnest care to
the education of native children of th
northern country, leaving to the mis
sions the gentler task of giving them
the religious training they ought to
receive. Surely there is no reason
why the missions should not heartily
sympathize with the government's pol
icy, for there will be still be an am
ple field for the missions in Alaska.
Commissioner Marsh, referring to
some of the objections urged to the
school policy of the government, says
"it Is no answer to the situation to
say that the natives are a decadent
race," and that it does not matter
much what becomes of them. It ought
to be the policy of the government to
check, as far as may be, the decadent
tendencies referred to by the commis
sioner. and It will be unwise and un
profitable for the government to take
any other view of it
Education will help to make effi
cient Industrial units out of the na
tlnves of Alaska, and certainly that is
a desirable end. Of course In a great
many Instances education way weaken
the natives; but that is no reason
why those who are capable of re
ceiving some benefit from school
training should be denied opportuni
ties which will confer this benefit.
The natives of Alaska are entitled to
a chance to learn, and the govern
ment is right when it seeks to give
them the chance. ? Seattle P. I.
MY LADY'S HAIR.
She walks In beauty like the night,
as some romantic singer said; her
eyea give forth a starry light, her
Hps are of a cherry red; across the
floor she seems to float; she seems
to me beyond compare, a being per
fect ? till I note the way that she's
done up her hair. She must have
toiled a half a day to build that large
unwieldy mass; she must have used a
bale of hay, and strips of tin, and
wire of brass; her sisters must have
helped her braid, her mother wrought
and tinkered there, and butler, cook
and chambermaid all helped to wres
tle with her hair. And after all the
grinding toil, and all the braiding and
the fuss, the one effect is just to
?poll her beauty, and make people
cuss. She walks la beauty like the
night where nights are most serenely
fair; but. J. H. Caesar! she's a sight,
when she's got on her Sunday hair! ?

THE PEOPLE'S 80NQ OF PEACE.

The sword steeps In the scabbard atlU.
The farmer keeps hU flock and vine.
Then who would, our the scene today
With vaunt o t battlefield or fray?
rpHK brave corn Ufta In regiments
Ten thousand sabers la Um sun.
The ricks replace the battle tenta.
The bannered tassels toae and run.
The neighing steed. the bugle's blast.
Those be but stories of the past
THE earth has healed her wounded
hr?ast.
The cannons plow the field no more.
The hecoes rest Oh, let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore:
They Caught for peace; for peace they
faJL
They sleep In peace, and all la well.
THE 'fields forget the battles fought.
The trenches wave In golden grain.
Shall we neglect the lessons taught
And taur the wounds agape again?
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse .the land
And heal her wounda with gentle hand.
LO, peace un ?arth! Lo. <flook.and fold!

And valleys clatL In sheen of soldi
Oh. else and sing a song of peace.
For Thcseu* roams lie land no mors.
And Janus rests with rusted door!

Curious Lore About Mandrak*.
Perhaps the most extraordinary of
the properties attributed to m.mdrake
are those which It shared. In common
with the rnstrlvtrava of Russia. of en
abling housebreakers to pick locks,
which Is certainly one of the most
amusing developments of the solar
theory. "Love." It Is said, "laughs at
locksmiths," but the connection be
tween the mandrake and "burgling"
seems n little forced. There Is a tra
dition that the moonwort will unshoe
horses If they step upon tho plant, and
similar powers have been attributed
to the vervain and the mandrake. It
Is, on the other hand, still part of the
rural lore of Oxfordshire, Buckingham
shire and Hampshire that the root will
improve a horse's condition, but this
seems to be founded upon the identi
fication of the maudrake with the
bryony, which played such a great
part in old English herbalism. It is.
however, more than doubtful whether
tbc plant9 belong to the same- class.
5ut both arc alike in tho curious
wealth of legend which surrounds
them. East and west meet in their
folk and flower lore.? Chambers' Jour
sal.
Harmless.
A district visitor was paying calls on
the folk in a row of cottages and was
shocked by the conduct of a shubblly
dressed old geutlemau who passed ,
from door to door iu a great rage and ,
threatened the occupants with all man* j
ner of dire penalties.
"Dear me. what a peculiar old man!"
she exclaimed to one of the tenants.
"Why do you permit bltn to abuse you
In that fashion?"
"Oh. we dou't mind lu the least,
ma'am," answered the tenant, with a
twinkle in his eyes. "We're quite used
to his little ways by now. He's been
a harmless lunatic for ten or eleven H
years."
"You dou't say so! Poor old fellow!
What particular form does his mad
ness take?"
"Optimism, ma'am. lie comes for
the reut every Monday and actually
allows himself to fancy that he'll get
it.'"? London Answers.
