Customs Of the EsauImaux.

Or. Franz Boas, who has travelled
along the shores Of Bafiin bay and Lab
rador, read paper on the Esquimaux Of
these regions recently in New York bs-
fore the German Social Science associs-
ton. he said that the EsQuimaux were
scattered over very large extent Of ter
ritory IN small settlements, and as they
did not have frequent intercourse, there
necessarily existed differences in their
habits and dialects, although the inhah-
itants Of the various districts were able
TO make their wants understood By each
other. In winter they live in snow
houses that are thickIy lined with seal
skins Or reindeer skins, and arc SO low

while the women attend to domestic
duties. In hunting the seal the hunter
creeps up to his victim on knees AID

the beggaTs of Florence had become such
nuisance that the authorities ordered
the arrest Of any person found begging
in the streets.
The favorite resort OF the fraternity
was the hill leading TO the Fiesole. The
steepness Of this hill compelled the trav-
eler to walk slowly up to the top, and
thus gave the beggars time and opportu-
nifty to ply their trade But one day,
owing to detectives happy thought, it
became the means of entrapping q large
number of them.
The detective, disguised in plain
clothes, sauntered up the hill, one sunny
morning, humming gentle song. The
unsuspicicus beggars clustered about
him. imploring his charity, and showing
him their crippled limbs, blind eyes and
wan faces.
He strOlled on, humming his song.
while they grew Ia numbers and impor-

Pleurisy il IN Inflammation Of the
membrane which overs the lhngs, as the
skin covers tho body A peculiar fluid

chest and lungs. and crowding on the
latter, renders breathing difficult and
painful Sometimes the tinid is pus.
Pneumonia is Inflammation Of the air
cells and the minute branches of the
bronchial tuDes-the portion without a
mucous membrane. It may be the acute
or chronic. It most generally affects
only one lobe, but it may extend suces-
cessively to the other l0bes, and even to
the other lung. Sometimes it is confined
to part Of single lobe, and is then
called circumscribed pneumonia. Some.
times there is severe pain in the chest,
which is apt to be mistaken either for
pneumonia or for pleurisy. but which is
neuralgia of the nerves of the intercos-
tai muscles-the muscles between the
ribs.
Bronchitis is an Inflammation Of the
mucous membrane which lines all the
bronchial tubes. except at their finest
extremities. 1t may be acute. sub.acute,
or chronic 1t may affect different por.
tions Of the tubes; It is quite dangerous,
especially in children, II it extends TO the
smaller tubes. There is a form of bron.

quently break into each other Except
when it is slight, the air stagnates in the
cells and is not sufficiently renewed. The
dilated cells also obstruct the circulation
of the blood. 1t is not in itself fatal
disease.
Asthma. This is nervous disease.
It is characterized BY spasms Of the mus
cular fibres of the bronchial tubes. The
susceptibility to this sDasmodic action
is generally inherited. The exciting
causes are various, aud differ in different
individuals.
Whooping cough is a peculiar form OF
contagious bronchitis, connected with
spasms Of the CLOTHS. or vocal cords.
The whoop is caused by the thrush of air
after the protracted suspension of the

With garden stretching vide;
They tread 10 veIvct-cnvered floors
No princeay steed they ride.
No stars they wear, no feathers rare,
No crest-engraven rings,
Md royal tlsrongS where pomp belongs
But they are the worlds kings
They walk abroad and no one stares
With no escorting train;
No sounding chronicles are theirs
No titles high and vain,
Little they own: they die unknown,
The wind their death-march sings;
No marble high tells where they lie,
But they arc the worlds kings.
Their homes are on the mountain side,
And down the lonely glen;
They own no false ancestral pride,
Yet they are noble men
With cunning skill and dauntless win
From earth its treasure brings,
Their staIwart power rears bridge and tower
Oh they are the worlds kings
With spade and pen they move the earth,
Their charter is Of God;

Orr PREsIDENTs-We find travelling
around our exchanges without credit the
following interesting facts about the Presi
dents of the United States:
Mr.. Cleveland will be the twenty second
president of the country. OF the presi-
dents, seventeen were elected, and four
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson and Arthur-suc-
ceeded to the office from the vice presi-
dency. Thomas jefferson and John Quin-
CIV Adams were elected by the house of
representatives in default of an election by
the electoral college, and rutherford Ii.
HAYES was declared elected by the com
mission selected to decide the disputed
election of 1876 Seven of the presidents
Washington, jefferson Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, Lincoln and Grant-were elected
a second time.
Gen. Grant was the youngest Of the pres
idents when inaugurated, being AZ; Pierce
and Garfield were 40; Polk and FillmoIe
80; TYLER, IL; Lincoln, SO; Van Buren,
and Taylor, So: Washington and johnson,
81; Jefferson, Madison and John Quincy
Adams, 80; Monroe, So John Adams and
Jackson, 81; Buchanan, 66 Harrison, 6S
Garfield died the youngest, not having
reached his fiftieth birthday; Polk was "a
at his death; Lincoln, So; Pierce, 65; Tay-
lor, GG; Washington and johnson, 67 Har
rison, So; Tyler and Monroe, 10; Fillmore
ID; Buchanan, II; Jackson, rs; Van Blu
rem, 50; John Quincy Adams, 81 Jeffer
son. 80; Madison, So John Adams, 81.
The honor of furnishing presidents has
not been evenly distributed among the
states: Virginia, Massachusetts, Tennessee,
New York, Ohio, Louisiana, New Hamp
shire, Pennsylvania and Illinois furnishing
all the incumbents so far. Cleveland will
be the third president from New York
Van Buren, and Arthur being his prede
cesSOrS.
II is somewhat remarkable that no mem
Der of the United States senate should ever
have been elected to the presidency at the
time of his incumbency. Disreggrding the
fact that experience in this body ought to
fit a man for the high office, the people
have ignored the senator's The army has
furnished large number of presidents,
and, with the exceptian of Hancock, Nc
Clellan and Scott, no military man nomi
mated for the Office has failed of election.
Washington owed his elevation to his sue
cess in the field .JacksOn's record in the
war of 1912 was the wave which lifted him
into the white house; and Harrison, Tay
lor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes and Garfield wore
the epaulets of a general before they were
honored with the chief magistracy of the
nation.
There are now two ex- presidents living
Grant and Hayes-and after the 4th of
March Mr.. Arthur will make a third.
