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’” FOR RENT | STORE ROOMS | Brown’s at Elk Mills $6.50 $ H agertj’s at Crown Mills 650 u DWELLINGS 89 North Depot Street, grooms SIB.OO H f>7 S.
