NATIVE ESKIMO CLOTHES.
Light In Weight, Soft In Texture and
Absolutely Cold Proof,
When winter set in and Eskimos be¬
gan to visit the ship, it soon became
apparent that they were much better
clothed to meet the cold than were the
white explorers, though the latter had
everythiug that money could command
in the way of “an approved arctic out¬
fit.” The Finnish boots, or “Finnskor,"
used by Nansen and other arctic ex¬
plorers, were excelled both in light¬
ness and warmth by the native boots.
A. single fur coat of deerskin made in
Norway weighed as much as au entire
Eskimo suit of outer and inner gar¬
ments, with boots and mittens includ¬
ed, and wa3 stiff as wet sailcloth,
while the native garments were soft
as a kid glove. A well made Eskimo
suit- -socks and boots, underwear,
trousers and coat with hood—weighs
ten or eleven pounds, about as much
as your spring suit, and in it you
could sit comfortably on a block of
snow, with your back to the wind,
fishing through a hole in the ice. with
a temperature of 50 degrees F., as the
writer has repeatedly done, feeling
cold nowhere but on the face, the
only part of the body that must be
left uncovered. We found a deerskin
shirt with the hair turned in warmer,
lighter and more comfortable than a
woolen, and a cap unnecessary when
the hooded coat is worn. There was
not an item of the arctic clothing that
was not advantageously replaced by
garments bought from the Qskimos.
No one wore garments of European
make if he was able to get his hands
on the Eskimo equivalent.—V. Stefans
sou in Harper’s Magazine.
SPEAKING PLAINLY.
The Judge’s Request and the Counsel’s
Prompt Response.
A young and afterward distinguished
attoruey from an up country district of
New York state was arguing his first
appeal in the old general term of the
supreme court. He had been in many
legal scrimmages in justices’ courts
at home, but had never stood in the
awesome presence of five sedate and
learned judges of the supreme court
in general term assembled. Ills em¬
barrassment was great. He repeated
himself and misplaced his words so
often that it was quite evident that he
must soon be routed by his own con¬
fusion unless something should occur
to break the spell. Finally, and just
as he was floundering the deepest in a
chaotic jumble of language and ideas,
the presiding judge interrupted with
the following remark:
“Mr. Smithers, I believe it wilr be a
great relief to yourself and to the court
If you will address us in the same free
and informal way that you doubtless
use in addressing your local justice of
the peace.”
“Well, then,” replied Smithers, “I
wish that while I am busy alleviating
your honor's dense ignorance of the
law you would keep your confounded
mouth shut!” The court laughed
heartily and waved for him to proceed.
He grew eloquent and won his case in
the midst of hearty applause.—Bohe¬
mian Magazine.
Some of tha Trials of Writers.
Professor Lounsbury of Yale calls at¬
tention to some of the difliculties of
English grammar with which writers
have constantly to struggle in their de¬
sire to avoid obscurity and be correct
at the same time. In Harper’s Maga¬
zine Professor Lounsbury takes up the
use of “whose” as a relative pronoun
referring to inanimate objects and jus¬
tifies its use since nothing better can
be devised. He discusses the use of
the singular pronoun with the word
“everybody,” as in “There everybody
met his friends.” This is manifestly
inadequate, and “his or her friends” Is
clumsy. Jane Austen, writes the pro¬
fessor, avoided the difficulty by using
the plural pronoun, as in her sentence,
“They say everybody is in love once
in their lives.” He thinks no satisfac¬
tory solution of this problem can. in
the nature of the case, ever be reached.
A Feast of Kisses.
“I once visited the little town of Hal
magea, In Roumania,” said a strolling
player who used, to wander into the
odd corners of the world, “but even I—
and my hair is getting a little thin, and
I wouldn’t take first prize in a beauty
contest—got enough kisses in ore day
to last an average lifetime. It seems
that Halmagen from time immemorial
has had an annual festival, and on this
day the population of about eighty vil¬
lages come swarming in. Every young
woman of the town, married or single,
goes out on this day carrying a vessel
of wine and a small garland of flowers.
To every visitor they offer a sup of
wine and a kiss.”—St Louis Republic.
Compulsory Education,
“I never thought him very bright,
hut he certainly has a splendid eduea
tion.”
“Well, you see, he lost one of his
legs, and he couldn’t go into athletics,
so he just had to study at college.”—
Houston Post
Too Much Port,
Captain (to the man at the wheel)—
Another point a-port, quartermaster.
Lady Passenger—Goodness gracious! r
That’s the second pint of port he has
called for within a few minutes! IIow

graph.
The Eternal Tip.
It is as fooiish to attempt to stop
tipping as to oppose the ocean thle.
Tips will never be suppressed The
word may be changed, but the thing
will not disappear. It is so human to
be generous.—Paris Journal.
election nights.
On« of the Five Saturnalia of New
York City.
New York has five saturnalia every
year—New ) ear’s night. Decoration
daj, Iourth of July, election night and
Thanksgiving—and not the least cf
these is election night. If it is a right
first i uesday of November, the day
time wind will i>e veering from west
to south and back, sun and cloud will
equally share the hours between them
and a not unnatural quiet, as of polit¬
ical passions hushed under the blauket
of the Australian ballot, will prevail.
The streets will be rather emptied than
filled, and the litter of straw and scrap
paper and the ordure and other filth of
the great slattern town will blow
agreeably about under your feet and
into your eyes and teeth. But with the
failing of the night there will be a rise
of the urban spirits; the sidewalks will
thicken with citizens of all ages and
sexes and nations, and if you will then
seek some large center for the cinemat¬
ographic dissemination of the election
news you will find yourself one of a
multitude gloating on the scenes of
comedy and tragedy thrown up on the
canvas to stay your impatience for the
returns. Along the curbstones are sta¬
tioned wagons for the sale of the wind
and string instruments whose raw,
harsh discords of whistling and
twanging will begin with the sight of
the vote from the first precinct. Mean¬
time policemen, nervously fondling
their clubs in their hands, hang upon
the fringes of the crowd, which is yet
so good natured that it seems to have
no impulse but to lift children on its
shoulders and put pretty girls before
it and to caress old women and crip¬
ples into favorable positions, so that
they may see better. You will wish to
leave it before the clubbing begins and
either go home to the slumbers which
the whistling and twanging will duly
attend or join the diners going into or
coming out of the restaurants or the
throngs strolling down into the fairy
realms of Broadway under the flare of
the whiskies and the actresses.—W. D.
Howells in Harper's Magazine.
AMY ONE CAM HYPNOTIZE.
But It Cannot Be Accomplished With
a Mere Glance.
Of course, whoever wants to hypno¬
tize—in fact, no one but a physician
ought to do it—must learn the tech¬
nique and apply it patiently and skill¬
fully. And certainly there are individ¬
ual differences. Not every one can be
deeply hypnotized. With not a few
the inhibition goes no further than
the inability to open the eyes, while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic hallucinations. Further, not
every one is well prepared to awaken
that confidence which is essential and
that feeling of repose which guides one
over to the dreamy state. The look,
the voice, the gestures, the phrases, the
behavior, of certain persons make them
poor hypnotizers, however well they
may understand the tricks. But in
principle everybody can hypnotize and
can be hypnotized, just as in principle
everybody can love and can be loved,
and no special mysterious power is
needed to fall in love or to awaken
love.
Yet, while thus every one can exert
hypnotic influence, no one can do it by
a mere glance. All the stories of a se¬
cret influence by which one man’s
will gets hold of another man’s mind
are remains of the mermeric theories
of the past. Today we know that ev¬
erything depends upon the attentiou
and imagination of the hypnotized and
that no mysterious fluid can fl-ow over
from the mind of the hypnotist to the
mind of the subject. The old mystical
view of unscientific superstition reach¬
ed its climax in the prevalent belief
that a man could exert secret influence
from a distance without the victim’s
knowledge of the source of the uncan¬
ny distortion of his mind. According
to this belief, every heinous crime
might be committed under that cover.
The distant hypnotizer could inflict
pain and suffering on his enemy and
could misuse the innocent as instru¬
ments of hi3 criminal
fessor Hugo Munsterberg in McClure's
Magazine.
The Penalty of Prominence.
Dorothy's father is a militia colonel,
and on a recent occasion she saw him,
in brave array, at the head of his regi¬
ment.
“How do you like your father in his
uniform?” the colonel asked his small
daughter that night.
“You looked handsomer than any¬
body else,” said Dorothy loyally, “and
you held your head up so high! But
I think they were mean not to let you
have a drum to play on!”—Youth’s
Companion.
Witty and Caustic.
A woman suffrage lecturer, accord¬
ing to the Boston Globe, recently
brought down the house with the fol¬
lowing argument: “I have no vote, but
| nsv groom has. I have a great respect
for that man in the stables, but I am
gnre jf j were to go to him and say,

i )e would reply, ‘Please, mum, which

A Variation In Sport.
“What happened when you passed a
law against gambling in your state?”
“The bookmakers got right to work
making bets on whether it would be
enforced or not.”—Washington Star.

—What do you call that? Cabby—An
’orse, sir. Art Master—A horse! Rub

swers.
If a man would learn to pray, let
him go to sea.—French Proverb.
