THE FUEGIANS.
Thsy Art Stunted and MitsHapsn as
Wall as Hideously Ugly.
At tbe two extremes of tbe Amer
ican continent dwell the most wretch
ed races of beings-the Eskimo at tbe
nonb and tbe Kueglans at tbe south.
Of tbe two the Puegians apear to be
tbe lowest in tbe civilized scale, tbeir
general aspect being wretched and de
graded. Tbeir hideously ugly faces express
tbe grossest stupidity, and tbeir tier
sons are both stunted and misshapen.
Tbe average height of tbe men does
not exceed Ave feet two Inches, that
of the women four feet eight Inches,
and owing to then habit of standing
in a stooping attitude they look even
less than tbeir actual height.
But, although they are veritable pyg
mies in stature, yet their bodies are
exceedingly large, and their general
appearance is such as might result from
tacking on to the trunk of a giant the
arms and legs Of u child.
Their color appears to be a copper
bronze, but as nearly all are begrimed
with smoke it is difficult to specify
their precise hue.. The very young
children are light brown In color with
the exception of the palms of the
hands and the soles of tbe feet, which
are of a dirty yellow.
The heads of the adults are covered
with coarse black hair which falls in
lank masses to the neck behind and
on each side of the face, but Is em
away from before the eyes.
The forehead Is low and retreating,
the nose broad, flat and tarnished with
Immense nostrils, and the mouth is
very wide, with thick, protruding lips,
the upper one being very mu h obli
gated. The eyes are small aud placed some
what obliquely, the iris is Invariably
black in color, and the white of the
eye has a distinctly yellowish tinge.
Moreover, owing apparently to the irri
tation produced by the smoke of the
fires over which they are so constant
ly crouching, they are very generally
blear eyed.
The teeth, although very much dis
colored, are, as a rule, regular and
sound. The men have naturally only
a few black bristles scattered over the
upper Hp and chin. These, however,
are carefully extracted from time to
time by means of two mussel shells,
and very frequently the hair of the
eyebrows Is removed by a similar
process. The males appear to pay no
attention whatever to the dressing of
their hair, but the women are some

quently be seen employing In Its ar

poise in lieu of a comb. St. Louis

Halibut In Canada.
"One cannot be long in any hotel or
restaurant in Canada without seeing
halibut on tbe bill of fare." says a
writer in Canada. "In this respect it
assumes the position of a national
dish. It la there on Christmas day
and again on midsummer day, and
there are not many days In between
these two dates when halibut finds no
place on tbe menu. So' plentiful Is
halibut in tbe waters of tbe wesr.
coast of Vancouver island that Ernest
McGaffey on one occasion watched a
few Indians, with their crude fishing
arrangements, catch 21,000 pounds in
Clayoquot sound In one day. When
It is remembered that a halibut some
times weighs as much as 300 pounds
perhaps this achievement will lose a
tiny part of its glory."
Color Harmony.
Tbe key to all color harmony is sim
ply this that kindred or related colors
harmonize, go well together, while un
related colors tire antagonistic to each
other. Those colors are kindred which
are side by side on tbe spectrum band
or the color circuit. Red is kindred to
orange because orange is an admix
ture of red and yellow; orange is kin
dred to yellow because of tbe yellow
in the orange; yellow is akin to green
because green is an admixture of yel
low and blue.
A Street In Moscow.
One street in Moscow, Miasnitskaya
Ulitza, is devoted almost entirely to
stores selling machinery. The win
dows of these shops are large and of
plate glass and display the various
wares to good advantage. Many win
dows are devoted to large exhibits of
various mechanisms, and at a certain
hour In the afternoon these machines
are so far as possible set in motion to
give practical illustration of their
workings.
His Safeguard.
I knew that Mr. iturales lived on a
much traveled turnpike, and I asked
him If be and bis family were not
greatly troubled ly tramps stopping
at bis bousp.
"We're not troubled at all," he re
plied, smiling shrewdly. "There's a
magical sign on tbe front gate."
"A magical sign?" 1 repeated.
"Yes," he said, with a grin "It

The Chilean government after a care
ful study of the relative cost of the

A bird expert has returned to Europe

fast and could not fly away, says th
expert.
