An Esquimaux House, or Hut.

One would think that, cold and dreadful
as the Arctic regions are known to be, the
inhabitants would need every comfort that
could be imagined in the way OF a house
But no. The first thing the Esquimaux
does in his home-buildng is to clear away
the snow and ice from spot OF ground O.
the right size for his house This he makes
rs smooth rs he can leaving one end a lit
lie higher than the other. The higher end
is to serve as parlor and bedroom; the
lower as workshop and kitchen Around
this cleared spot Of earth blocks Of hard
frozen snow are laid in such a fashion that
they form a low round roof, resembling in
shape the half Of a hollow ball BY way
of window, small square Of rather
thin and clear ice is set into the wall
On the side OF the house least exposed
to wind is long and very low passage
way leading to the open air. This passage
is SO low that the inmates OF the house
have to crawl through it on their hands
and knees The door is only a loose blocl,
of snow.
These huts do not appear 10 be very
charming residences, but there are two
good things about them. One IS that the
high winds Of that desolate region cannot
possibly blow hut over, though they
may bury it in snow; the other good
thing is that no one hut can be lived in
longer than a season. The poor Esqui-
maux, are, unfortunately, very dirty
people, and if they lived eyer SO long in
one house they would never clean it. But
the snow-honse finally cleans itself in the
most thorough manner, for as soon as the
warm days OF summer comes it melts
away, and its inmates must set about
building seal-skin tent that will shelter
them till winter comes again TSt Nicho-
las for January.
A party OF converts stood at the chancel
rail in IA Sandnsky church ready to be made
members. One was a girl who had been
regarded as the belle of the place. She
interrupted the ceremony by saying that
she desired to make a confession. She knew
that she had been looked on as a good girl,
but she wasn't. She was guilty of dread
full sin, of which she had not been even
suspected. This little speech excited the
curiosity of the congregation to high de-
gree. She then said that she had been
married a year; that the ceremony had
been regularly but privately performed,
and that she had kept the fact secret be-
cause she was not ready to forego the fun
of going into society as an artless, uniet-
tered maiden. The husband stepped for
ward and corrOborated his wife's story
They went to housekeeping on the follow
ing day.

Mrs. Simpson, the pDrtly aud practical

II was the day before Thanksgiving,
and the farmer who had agreed 10 supply
her with turkey had brought il, but had
not weighed II, and, OF course, they could
not agree on It's weight, all Of which
ended in the startling proposition with
which we began,

we're curious TO see what was abont.
then fixed wire TO the turkeys feet
and hooked il so that il would slide on
the broom handle. Next got a Atiron
and fixed II in the same way. When the
broom was nicely balanced, hung tho
turkey on the broom end OF the stick, two
inches from the balancing loop. Then !
hung the flltiron on the other side, and
showed it along until II balanced the tur-

Take this out and ask Albro to weigh It
for you.
I'm blamed IL he hasn't bit IL about
right, said the farmer who had brought
the turkey. How did you find out2
Well, you see, said !, the 1atiron has q
dgure 6 on it; that shows that Il weighs
six pounds. Now, If the turkey had not
weighed more than the nttrou they
would have balanced each other at the
same distance from the balancing loop;
but the turkey was the heavier, so ! had
TO move the hniroa out further. AT the
same distance from the loop MS the tur-
key (two incbes), the fialiron pulled SIX
pounds weight, aud at every addition Of
that distance II would pull six pounds
more. Thus; At four inches IL pulled
twelve pounds; At six inches. eighteen
pounds; aud at eight inches, twenty fur
pounds. AZ That di-tnucr u just balanced
the turkey, thus proving that Ia weigh.
