AMONG THE ES0UIMAUX.
Festivities Celebrated by the Northern
Inhabitants of Our Continent.

All the EsquimauX are superstitious
about death, says Chambers Journal, and.
although they hold festivals in memory of
departed friends, they will generally carry
dying person to some abandoned hut to
drag out his days in hunger and neglect.
After the death Of husband or wife the
survivor-among the coast tribes, at any
rate-cuts the front hair and fasts for
twenty days. The festivals are often held
in sort of common hall called the kashga,
which is built of the same pattern as the
semi-subterranean winter houses, but it is
often as large as sixty feet square and
twenty or thirty feet high. The kashga
also serves for other purposes. 1t is used
for the public bath; for the deliberations
of the council of elders in communal ques-
tons for the preparation Of skins and the
manufacture Of sleds; for the reception of
visitors, and for the sleeping place of males
who have not huts of their own, The fes-
rivals consist of singing and dancing of
primitive character, and then gorging
with fish and bluober, with the additional
luxury of melted reindeer fat when it can
be procured. All the food, both flesh and
fish, goes through some process of cooking
before being eaten, although the higher"
it is the more it is appreciated.
The tribes of Norton Sound hold festi-
val every year in October and November
in memory of deceased kinsman, and
Petroff thus describes the performances:
At sunset the men assemble in the kashga.
and, after hurried bath, ornament each
other by tracing various figures on the
naked back with a mixture of oil and
charcoal. Two boys, who for this occasion
are respectfully named the raven and the
hawk, are in attendance mixing the paint,
etc. Finally the faces also are thickly
smeared; and then the females are sum-
moned into the kashga. After brief
lapse of time noise is heard, shrieks and
yells, snorting and roaring; and the dis
guised men, emerging from the flre-hole,
show their heads above the floor, blowing
and putting like seals. 1t is impossible to
distinguish any complete human figure as
some are crawling with their feet foremost,
others running on their hands and feet. while
the head of another is seen protruding be-
tween the legs of a companion. They all
cling together and move in concert like
one immense snake. A number of men
wear masks representing the head of ami
mails, and the unsightly beings advance
upon women, who have no means of escap-
ing molestation except by buying off the
actors with presents. Knowing what was
before them, they have brought the kan
tags, or wooden bowls, full of delicious
morsels = beiuga blubber, walrus meat,

POULTRY.
Useful, Practical Hints-How and When
to Feed Young Chicks.


Ten days after females have been cooped
or placed in a yard with mate bird, the
eggs will hatch true to the mating. To
change male, the fourth egg laid after
the change will be the progeny of the new
male used. Take the male bird away from
the hens and the eggs will hatch that are
laid during the next ten days, which is as
long as the life germs, impaired by the male.
retain their vitality. The purity of one
bird is not injured for breeding purposes
by being bred to another of a different
breed.
The best tonic and preventive of poultry
diseases is as follows: To one gallon of
pure water add from fifteen to twenty
drops of tincture of iron and two or three
drops OF aconite. Stir and mix well be-
fore putting into the drinking vessels. |
use this all the year round. and always
have healthy flock OF birds. The iron
strengthens the blood, while the aconite
prevents and allays feverishness. Care
must be taken not TO get too much aconite
into this mixture
The eggs laid by two or three-year-old
hens which are mated to cock of the
same age, will hatch greater proportion
OF pullets than any other mating. If a
cockerel one year old is mated to females,
the result generally is Just the reverse,
some matches showing as high as sixty per
cent of males
The first batch of eggs laid by hens in
the spring is generally the best for hatch
ing purposes. Pullets should be allowed
to lay eight or ten eggs for the pan before
saving them for Matching.
After hen has laid, say twenty-five to
thirty-tiye eggs in succession, the system
becomes too much enfeebled, and the last
laid eggs will often be found lacking in
vitality.
A great error is made by amateurs in
feeding chicks a few days old too much
wet cornmeal. For the first few days feed,
bread soaked in milk, or hard boiled eggs,
crumbled up fine, is the best. Oatmeal
stirred with lukewarm water is much bet
ter than cornmeal, which is entirely too
heating, and is the cause of losing great
many chicks
When chicks are three days old begin
to feed millet. Hungarian grass or other
small seeds, and finally cracked corn at
night. They should be fed at least four
or five times daily, not too much at a time,
but Just as much as they will eat without
leaving any feed lay.
If mother hen and her brood are kept
in the same box or barrel that was used
for Matching place, be sure to burn up
the old hay, supply new, fine hay or straw,
and sprinkle literally with sulphur, or
what is better, Dalmatian Insect Powder.
Do not put lot of lard and sulphur under
the mother hens wings, as the chicks are
very liable to get it into their eyes while
being hOvered.-Hen1y Turck in the Gin
cinndti Commercial Gazette.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach ere va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tina. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by a slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their rsvsges
they extend to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and 10 the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed TO proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atten-
ton IS dangerous, and may lose YOU your
life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
1t will give you immediate relief

The Rev. William Veitch, of Dumfries,
Scotland, had been condemned to execu-
ton by the tyrannical Government of
James Ii. His friend, Lord Mimic, then
an attorney, exerted himself to procure the
release of the clergyman from prison, and
succeeded in obtaining a pardon for him.
The attorneys efforts attracted public at
tention to his merits, and this led to his
sitting on the bench as one of the Lord
Justices of Scotland When the two
friends met in after years, Lord Mimic
used to say, "Ah, Willie, Willie, had it
no been for me, the pyots had been pykiag

wended their way through the ram

After Mr.. Jones arrived, Prof. Ex.

gregation joined in the chorus:
"I'm going home" This was fol.
lowed by short secret prayer.

most earncily:

"After while" "

The preacher handled these ques
tions in such manner that soon no
sinner bad any standing ground and
there was nothing left but complete
surrender 10 Christ.
Soon Mr.. Jones became warmed

bearing ever fell upon a Durham
audience as did bis rs be walked 70

anguish look and out stretched hands
he cried: "0hl my God: Am /

soul tonight, who in spite OF all our
entieaties will perish IN the wrong
and before next Monday morning be

Thus the preacher went on, bis
words Turning deep into the hearts OF
his hearers, until his audience was IN
agony and tears. He stopped and
asked while the choir sang, that every
one who would make a start for
heaven and wanted the prasers OF

him their hand. A beautiful hymn
was raised and thousands of voices
joined in the singing: then came q

Unsayed souls with streaming tears

way to grasp the hand Of the great

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. l0.-r the government persists in
their present policy OF repression IL is evident
they will have to Increase the number OF prisons
in Ireland Already large number OF their most
distinguished opponents are under lock and key.
Not satisfied with this the government now iiy
much smaller game. Corcoran, who has been sem
fenced to two months for publishing the reports
OF suppressed branches OF the National League, Is
simply the oyerseer OF the printing department
and knew nothing whatever about the literary
matter In the paper. A peculiar aggrayation Of
the persecution In this case Is that Corcoran is
sentenced TO two separate months instead OF
two months, because In the latter case he could
appeal When the crimes bill was before parlia-
ment Balfour pledged his word that every person
convicted under It should have the right OF APP
peal but subsequently he backed out, and said
they could appeal under the ordinary law. In
vain 1t was pointed out TO him that
NO APPEAL WOULD LIE
unless under a sentence OF more than one month.
This is why there are so many sentences In Ireland
OF one month only or else cumulative Many resi-
dent magistrates are retired military Officers OF
little knowledge OF the law and there would be a
just suspicion that their decisions might be over
ruled by a competent tribunal even though the
judges, as body. are prejudced against the ma
uonalist cause. There was an Instance OF this the
other day when an action taken by Healy was de-
scribed by Magistrate Roche as frivolous and held
by the lord chief baronS TO be perfectly good The
