THE ESKIMO.
What He Looks Like and the Way He
presses and Lives.
What £ an Eskimo like? His
portrait s easily sketched: A small
person (ire feet five inches is the
average height of the men and five ,
feet tha. of the women), with a j
grayish jopperish and oily skin, :
thick lips, deep set and oblique ]
eyes like the Japanese, a flat, oval
face and lat cheeks, a low, retreat- |
ing forehead and black, glossy, j
straight hair, which is allowed to
grow to ts full length. The hands
and feet are remarkably small. The
nose is a normally flat.
The faces of the children are
generally so fat that the eyes al
most disappear, and the nose is
sunken I etween the cheeks instead
of protrrding.
The Eskimos have a happy, care
less, optimistic look about them.
Nordenssjold used to call them
“big children” and stated that
“these unfortunate creatures, who
are deprived of every comfort, are
conceited and jocular. They are
hospitable, too, and when brought
into contact with Europeans they
grow civilized quite rapidly, though
they resain a number of their old
habits.”
As regards dress, it is almost the
same for women as for men—a
close fitting sealskin coat, with a
hood for the head and breeches of
the samr material.
Needless to say the Eskimos dis
like water as a “cleansing agent,”
and they lack fascination. But
they de not consider Europeans as
very attractive, and the refinements
of civilization are repulsive to
them. The same Nordenskjold once
told a very amusing story on this
matter. He gave a bottle of eau de
cologne to an aged Eskimo lady to
smell. She almost fainted and
called the scent “dreadfully stench
ing.” But she dwelt in a sordid
hut, where the air was “unbreatha
ble,” and lived on food of which one
hesitates to think.
The Eskimos have no religion
worthy of the name. They are ex
tremely superstitious. But how
could they help being so, surround
ed as they are by truly fantastic
scenery—mysterious caverns and
grottoes, mountains of ice, bathed
in the weird light effects of the arc
tic atmosphere or in the awe in
spiring gloom of the polar night?
The Eskimos, however, have
much respect for the “head of the
family.” Funerals are a complicat
ed affair in Greenland, and the
most curious custom in connection
with such ceremonies is the bury
ing of a dog’s head —meant to act
as a guide—together with the dead
body.
They live under tents during the
summer and under snow huts dur
ing the cold season. They possess a
skin canoe called kayak, a sledge
and a few dogs.
They marry at an early age. The
bride brings to her new home her
clothes, a knife and a lamp. The
husband gives her a cooking pot.
Eskimo etiquette compels the bride
to object to marriage, and she must
pretend to escape from her husband
two or three times before settling
down to her duties and accepting
her share of responsibilities.—Ex
change.
Whistling and Weeping Trees.
Among the curiosities of tree life
is the sofar or whistling tree of Nu
bia. When the winds blow over
this tree it gives out flutelike
sounds, playing away to the wilder
ness for hours at a time strange,
weird melodies. It is the spirit of
the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary
islands is another arboreal freak.
This tree in the driest weather will
rain down showers from its leaves,
and the natives gather up the wa
ter from the pool formed at the
foot of the trunk and find it pure
and fresh. The tree exudes the wa
ter from innumerable pores at the
base of the leaves. —Chicago Jour
nal.
Irish Gooseberries.
An Irishman or an Irishwoman
is rarely at a loss to give quite as
good as she gets. The American
tourist who figures in Sketchy Bits
found this out to his cost.
An old Irishwoman who kept a
fruit stall had some melons exposed
for sale. The Yankee, wishing to
have some fun with the old lady,
took up one of them and said:
“These are small apples you
grow over here. In America we
have them twice the size.”
The woman slowly looked up at
him and in a tone of pity exclaim
ed:
“Sure, sorr, ye must be a stranger
in Ireland and know very little
about the fruit of our country whin
ve can’t tell apples from gooseber
ries’”
