How Eskirou Do?* are Trained.
As the Eskimo mast sometime be
babies, so the dogs mast &t some time
be puppies, and the puppies are allowed
inside the igloo on the bed, where they
are the favorite playthings of the young
heir. His mother makes him a number
of doll dog-harnesses for the puppies,
fixes him up a dog-whip almost like his
father's, and then he amuses himself har
nessing them, hitching them to a
hatchet, the water-bucket, or any object
that is at hand; and driving them around
in the igloo and storm igloo, or out-of
doors, when the weather is very pleas¬
ant.
As soon as the puppies get a little
bigger, the larger boys take them in
hand, and by the time they are old
enough to be used for work in the
sledges they are almost well-trained
dogs.
And so with the little Eskimo himself;
when he is a young man, he is a good
dog-driver, and knows how to manage a
sledge under all circumstances. This is
the hardest thing that an Eskimo has to
learn. I have known white men to
equal them in rowing in their little seal¬
skin canoes; I have seen white men
build good igloos; ■ bnt I never seen a
white naan who was a good dog-driver,
and the Eskimo told me that they had
never seen such an one, either. When
they drive their dogs, it is in the shape
of a letter V, the foremost dog being at
the converging point, and the harness
traces running back in Y-shapes, to the
sledge. The forward dog is called the
"leader,” or "chief,” and, in trading
dogs, a "leader” is worth two good fol¬
lowers, or ordinary workers. The Eski¬
mo dog-driver manages the leader
wholly by the voice, making him stop,
go ahead, to the right or to the left, as
he may speak to him; and as he acts, bo
do the others, who soon learn to watch
him closely, and strangest of all, to obey
him even after they are unharnessed, al¬
though "the leader” may not be one of
the largest and strongest dogs in the
team.— Lieut. Frederick Sekwalka, in
St Nicholas for March.
Women Rule In Bantam.
Among tfi r colonial possessions,
e or,
ruore correctly, dependencies, of Hol¬
land, says a foreign letter writer, there
is a remarkable little State which, in
its constitution and the original costume
of its inhabitants, surpasses the boldest
of dreams of the advocates of women’s
rights. ... In T .1 the t Island i j of c Java, t . between .
the cities of Batavia and Hamarane, is
«»
tributary to Hollund, is an independent
State. The Sovereign *Y is, indeed, a man,
but , all the , rest of „ the government . be- ,
Ion ?s to the fair sex. The King is en
tir.lv dependent upon hie State Conned.
The highest authorities, military com
mandera and soldiers are, without ex
ception, of female sex. These amazons
ride in the masculine style, wearing °
sharp , steel , . points . , instead . ... of
spurs,
Tnev __‘ carry a nointed lance, which they
3wing „ very gracefully, and j also i___ a musket, . ,
which is discharged at full gallop. The
capital of this little State lies in the
most picturesque part of the island in a
fruitful plain, and is defended by two
well-kept fortresses.
A gentleman of veracity told me that
for three uights he dreamed that a man
with wun a a full tub red red face lace armeared appeared to to him mm,
carrying a hammer, which he held over
ilia head in a menaoiug manner. Oa the
mornmg after the last dream the gentle
maa went to his piece of business as
usual; onliis waj he parsed a Bhop. The
door was open, and there stood, with
hammer hammer nofiftod npiittou, the the mau mau seen seen in m the cue
dream. The two men stopped and looked
at each other and said nothinff. Aqueer

It was argued that to thus place a limita¬

to condemn publicly any remedy which he
knew to be injurious, but it was not right testify¬ to
