One sport that amuses the Esquimaux

Having found long and gentle slope on
hillside, they place from the bottom OF
the hill number of reindeer antlers, or,
as we sometimes incorrectly call them,
deer horns flor your boys must not for
get that the antler5 of deer are not horn
at ill. but bone). These antlers Of the
reindeer are stuck upright in the snow,
singly or in groups, in such manner
that sled, when we'll guided, can be run
between them without knocking any of
them down, the number of open spaces
between the groups being equal to at
least The number of sleds. The quantity

ers' success the autumn before the Iein-
deer hunting, but there are nearly al
ways enough antlers to give two or three,
and sometimes five or six, to each fearless
young coaster.
The boy with their sleds. numbering
hon four to six in fair sized village,
gather on the top of hill, each boy hav.
Ing with him two or three spears, or a
bow with as MANY arrows. They start
together, each boys object being to knock
down az many antlers as possible. and
not be the first to reach the bottom of
the hill. You can see that, in such oase
the lower they go when they are passing
the antlers the better. They must knock
over the antlers with their spears a ar
rows only, as those thrown down by the
sIedge or with the bow or spear in the
hand do not count. They begin to shoot
their arrows and throw their spears as
soon as they get within shooting distance
and even after they have passed between
the rows of antler5 the more active boys
will turn around OH their flying sleds and
hurl back spear or an arrow with suf-
ficient fDrce to bring down an antler.
When all had reached the bottom OF
the hill they return to the row Of antlers
where each boy picks out those he has
rightfully captured and places them in
pile by themselves. Then those acct
dentally knocked over by the sledges are
again put up and the boys return for an
other ash down the hill, until all the
antlers have been "speared." Sometimes
there is but one antler left, and when
there are five or six contesting sleds the
race becomes very exciting, for the speed
counts in reaching the antler first. When
all are down the boys count their win.

might be assigned for refraining from
Agricultural pursuits in Maine, Is that

is too late, that the soil itself, which
IS essential to the successful propaga-
ton of crops, has not been in use in
