THURSDAY EVENING, MAY %.

ESKIMO PATIENcE-The number OF years
the Eskimo will spend in plodding away at
the most simple things shows them TO %
probably the most patient people IN me
world.
When we we're near King Williams
Land, saw an Eskimo working upon
knife that, as nearly as l could ascertain
had engaged good part of his time sone
six years preceding that date. he haa a
fiat piece of iron, which had been taken
from the wreck of one of Sir John Frank
Inns ships. and from this he was endeavur-
inp TO make q knife blade, which, When
completed, would be about twelve lnrhes
long. In cutting it from this iron plate, ne
was using for chisel an old file, found o.:
one of the ships, which it had taken L'ni
two or three years to sharpen by rubbing
its edge against stones and rocks. His cold
chisel finished, he had been nearly as many
years cutting straight edge along I'M
ragged sides of the irregular piece OF iron,
and when I discovered him be bad outlined
the width of his knife on the plate and was
emitting away at it. 1t would probably have
taken him two years to cut out THIS piece,
ond two more to fashion The knife into
shape and ueefulness. :,
The file which he had made into cold
chisel was such a proof of labor and pa
tience that it was great curiosity to me,
and gave him butchers knife in ex-
change for it. Thus almost the very thing
he had been so long trying to make he no"
unexpectedly found in his possession. When
I told him that our factories, or big sgtoos,
could make more than he could carry OF
such butcher knives during the time we
had spent in talking about his, he expressed
great surprise.-S. Nicholas for June.
