the end, and then wound the other end
around his ankle SO tight that it would

The ESUuimaux.

1t cannot be denied that the Esqui-
maux are dirty people. They have
not the facilities for keeping themselves
clean. In winter, water is too scarce
and too precious an article to waste in
washing. Generally all the water you
have is ice or snow melted over an oil
Tampa very tedious process. Another
obstacle is the fact that you must wipe
your hands and face pretty soon after
washing, or they viii be frozen, and
when once towel is used its future USE
fulness is seriously impaired. 1t then
becomes frozen stiff rs board, and is
about as available as that for wiping
ones face and hands. In quarters,
towel, while drying, catches all the fly
ing particles of SCOT which emanate
from the lamp. The Esquimaux them
selves know nothing of towels, however.
They have no cloth for the purpose.
The refinement of napkin isundreamed
of. The men eat while sitting or stand
ing in q circle, and pass n large piece of
meat, either cooked or raw and bloody,
from one to another, each in turn seiz-
ing a morsel in his teeth and cutting it
off with large knife, to the imminent
peril of his nose. At the end of the
meal their faces and hands look as if
they had been eating out of q trough.
They don't mind the dirt, but they hate
to waste the blood or gravy, SO they
scrape their hands, fingers and cheeks
very carefully with their knives, and
then lick the knives clean with their
tongues. Nothing, you observe, is
wasted by this process-not even the
dirt.

Living and DYING.

The facts derived from the English
Registrar Generals accounts always pre-
sent topics of interest. OF the three
countries. England is the most healthy,
Scotland being very close to it. In the
United Kingdom the annual death-rate
is l in every 40 of the whole popula-
ton. Comparing the general mortality
with that OF century ago, it is quite
discoverable that the duration of life is
longer than at the former period in the
ratio of 80 to 40. 1t may be said to have
then almost doubled. Between the three
distinct classes, the gentry, the trades or
professional people, or the artisans and
laborers, the margin of balance is in
favor of the two last A man with q
handle to his name, because he pampers
himself, dies younger than does the
sturdy yeoman. When we study, how
ever, particular trades, we find the in
dividual mortality to be heavy. We all
know that those men who work on grind
ing tools die young, 'high wages and
speedy death" being their motto. Men
who work up flint into powder for the
potteries are short lived; SO are those
who chip granite, with workers in flax
and woolens. Miners as body never
make old bones, the accidents of their
calling not being taken into account.
Whereas the lungs of knife grinder
are found to be all soft and spongy, a
miners lungs look as if they had been
dipped in ink. A good deal has been
said about the low death-rate of soldiers
and sailors-men killed in action having
nothing to do with the statistics. Sol
young, and live but half life. They
go off from diseases of the lungs and
dysentery. 1t is martinetship, dull
life, routine and sameness of food that
kills them. The sailor is better off, but
he dies from accidents. In the English
navy, however, two-thirds of the deaths
are from disease, while in the merchant
service two-thirds of the results of causes
other than disease. Stalking in grim
procession toward their graves, first
come bakers and after them the tailors.
Compositors, from careless habits, often
from badly ventilated rooms, die sooner
than the job printers, while pressmen
live to good old age. Editors are long
lived, as are ali literary people. A
tavern-keeper's life is poor one, and in
England he drops off at the rate of 80 in
1000, and after him comes the butcher.
Your fat and florid butcher is decep-
tive man; he looks strong, but he has
little stamina; he can not bend under
disease-he breaks. The brewers dray-
man i'll England, like the lager beer
driver here, looks well enough, but or
9anically he is badly off. In England
his average age is only forty-three. He
is early drowned in beer. Athletes are
short lived, and professional oarsmen,
cricketers, wrestlers, pedestrians, have
life averages which are quite low. All
this seems natural enough and facts sub
stantiate theories; but how account for
it that scavengers, dus tmen, and the
cleansers of the sewers are among the
healthiest of human beings?

Ancient Uses of Skins and Leather

In these days of steel pens and note
paper but little thought is given to the
fact that our trade was among the first
to provide man with an article wherein
ne could inscribe the history of his times
and hand it down intact and well pre-
served TOR the enlightenment of future
generations. Many have forgotten, or,
perhaps, never knew. that the skin of
animals and leather in its manufactured
state, with avis and thorns for pens,
comprised about the entire stock in
trade of the ancient stationery store.
The skins most generally used for this
purpose were those o; the sheep, the goat
and the ass The Persians of old en-
pioyed them for writing their records, as
did also the ancient lonians. Buchanan
found in India acopy of a law written OH
II roll of leather fifteen feet long; and
many similar rolls are known to exist,
some extending to the extraordinary
length of 100 feet Even fish skins
were not despised. The Mexicans en-
ployed them also. Pergament, or parch-
ment, as we now call it, takes its name
from it's being first used by Eumenes,
King of Pergamus, about 800 years be-
fore the Christian era.
1t is said that the immediate cause of
the introduction of parchment was de-
cision on the part of Ptolemy, King of
Egypt. to prohibit the expectation of
parchment from that country. This
caused Eumenes to incite his subjects
TO discover q substitute. Many writer's
hold that Eumenes was not the cause of
the origination of parchment, but of the
improvement of the old men,6rana, or
parchment of the inferior kind. At any
rate, it is from the introduction of
parchment or vellum that we date the
first step toward the modern form of
books.
Membrane, an inferior kind of parch-
ment, was also used. In order to pre-
pare this, the skin was separated be-
tween the hide and the flesh, and, by
working and rubbing with quicklime,
was formed into leaves fit for the pur-
poses of the writer. This form of writ
ing material was extensively employed
by the Hebrews and the Greeks. Shoe

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
A rApLE-spooNFUL of turpentir

A TABLESPOONFUL of turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will greatly aid
in the whitening process.
BOILING starch is much improved by
the addition of sperm, or salt, or both,
or little gum arabic dissolved.
The easiest method of removing rust
from iron is rubbing it with rag dipped
in oil of tartar. The rust will disappear
Immediately.
A COUPLE of ounces of carbolic acid to
three quarts of water, sprinkled over tho
poultry-house through the fine nose of q
watering-pot, once in three or four weeks,
will, it Ii said, destroy lice and other
parasites.
BEEswAx and salt will make your rusty
fiat-irons as clean and smooth AZ glass.
Tie lump Of wax in rag, and keep it
for that purpose. When the irons are
hot, rub them first with the wax rag,
then scourwitha paper or cloth sprinkled
with salt.
TO FIX pencil marks 30 that they will
not rub out, take well-skimmed milk
and dilute with an equal bulk of water.
Wash the pencil marks (whether writing
or drawing) with the liquid, using a soft
flat camel's-hair brush, and avoid all
rubbing. Place it upon flat board to
dry.
RENovATING On CLOTH oil cloth
washed in hot water or in soapsuds. or
with brush, will look dingy when dry,
and soon cr ok and peel off but when
always washed in luke-warm water with
piece of soft old flannel, and wiped
perfectly dry each time. will last longer
and retain its young looks down to old
age it greatly improves its appearance
to use half milk and half water. Skim
milk, If not sour, Is just as good as new
milk. This makes oil cloth look as if
vanished. Neither soap, hot water or
brush should ever be used ON it.
To CLEAN MATING. In cleaning mat
ting wash twice during the summer with
salt and water-a pint of salt to half
pailful OF warm, soft water dry quickly
with clean soft cloth. Treated in this
way the mating will not grow yellow.
Or, if preferred, apply thin coat of
varnish to the mating That will make
it more durable and greatly improve its
appearance. If vanished, it will not
need washing. Now and then wipe with
a wet cloth and dry quickly. Use white
varnish on white mating. Be sure and
have the varnish thin or the mating
will crack.
How're WASH THE FACE Many people
object to the use of soap, disliking the
shiny, polished appearance it gives, but
any who use DR.. Wilson's directions will
find that objection removed. They are
as follows: Fill your basin about two
thirds full of fresh water [; dup your face
in the water and then your hands. Soap
the hands well and pass the soaped
hands with gentle friction over the whole
face. Having performed this part of the
operation thoroughly, dip the face in
the water second time and rinse it
completely. You may add very much
to the luxury of the latter part of the
operation by having second basin ready
with fresh water to perform a final
rinse"

Hannibal Hamlin failed of an election

practical joke he once played. Some
years before he was candidate he was
Speaker of the Maine Assembly. In that
body was a gentleman of great fastidious-
ness as to dress and personal appearance
His hair was growing thin on top, but
he labored to conceal this by carefully
plastering it down with bandolines and
cosmetics. One day Speaker Hamlin
called him to the desk and said. in what
he intended to be very funny way:
"Blank, old fellow, just wanted to
tell you that you've got one of your hairs
crossed above the other on top"

and then saying:

A RECENT dispatch from Winnipeg,

A RECENT dispatch from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, says: "Ex-Sergt Rolph, OF
the Northwest mounted police, has ar
rived from Fort Walsh. The day after
he reached Fort Qu'Appelle en- route,
Sitting Bull arrived there with Iron Eyes
and about forty lodges, having Travelled
by the Wood mountain trail. Sitting
Bull says he wants to be given reser-
walton, so that he and the few followers
he has remaining may have home on
the Canadian side of the line. He says
he wants to let his children live with the
white people of this country, and to be
able to sleep soundly himself, as his life
was a miserable one on the other side of
the line. and he is anxious to become
settled and live in peace. He grieves a
good deal on account of his 16-year-old
daughter. who was stolen away from him
by her lover and taken to the American
side. This young brave of Sitting Bulls
camp was willing to buy the girl at a
good rate in horses, but her father
would not consent, so the only thing to
do was to take her away clandestinely.
Sitting Bull has younger daughter left
"a beautiful little girl aged II or II,
whom he watches very closely for fear
he should lose her also.

A Typical New Mexican.

Top boots, trousers, blue flannel
shirt and loose coat were ordinary
enough, but his head was surmounted
with a gray sOmbrero that in width of
brim has never been equaled save by
!he pretty chorus singers OF Pinafore"
and the "Pirates." That hat sat back
on his head until the brim covered his
shoulders and the cord and ornaments
of the crown, being of solid gold wire
and spangles, brings the value of this
extravagant head-g gear up to $3.50.
Neither Aimee and Georgette, Virot or
the other concOctors of French bonnets
ever sent out a spring bonnet that
equaled this sombrero III price. He
wore a careless klotted necktie and row
of big gold nuggets for shirt-studs, and
