followed under the water, and as the pursu-
ing kidks scatter, it is almost sure to come up
near some one of the young hunters, who at
once filings his spear at 1t, however far away,
and starts padding toward it at rapid
rate. If the bird is nearly exhausted by its
dlvings in every direction to escape, it Will
allow the boat to approach very near, and
the boy soon catches it between the shaft
and one OF the prongs of the spear, when Its
fate is at once settled.
In the early fall, before the young elder
ducks have learned to fly, the boys catch
them by scores on the shallow, inland lakes
on the shores of which they have been
Matched. On one of my sledge-j Journeys
two boys Of the party must have killed
close to two hundred one afternoon, and
would probably have extended their bar
barous sport if it had not met with such
disapproval of the white men.
They seem to get great deal Of fun out
of the pursuit of the little ducks, but it was
rather manifestation of the savage
nature in them coming to the front than
commendable sport.
Yet my experience among Indian boys
makes me feel safe in saying that they far
excel the Eskimo lads in heartless cruelty
when indulging in those plays that give a
chance for its exercise.
I have known Indians to take a hendish
delight in torturing small birds and animals
they had captured, their eyes glistening

THE DUCK SPEAR.

with enjoyment In direct ratio as the Great
ure suffered. / never saw the Eskimo
lads be more than carelessly cruel while
securing game for their use, as in the few
cases have already cited.
The Eskimo boys have a good many
sports besides those Of q hunting nature,
although there are none which they enjoy
so much as the ones which fit them for
being successful hunters when they are
older.
They often coast down the inclines Of
slopes and hills on their sledges, and when
they have no small sleGges which they can
use for this purpose, they cut them out OF
solid lee These ice-sleds sometimes,
amid much juvenile merriment collide, go
TO pieces, and throw the coaster down hill
heels over head. Coasting, however, is
comparatively little INDUCED in, consider
ing the opportunities there are for the
sport
Skating in any way Is unknown among
the Eskimos, and as to snow-shoes they
have never seen pair. The extreme cold
of the winter and the fierce winds ''pack''
the snow until it is seemingly as hard as
marble, and the boys can run over 1t as
they would over a flags tone sidewalk.
Snow-snoes would be as useless as on a
macadamized road, while the ice is nearly
always so rough and so covered with snow
that there would be but little skating, even
if these cold-weather urchins knew how to
skate, and had the best skates that can be
made.
In the long winter evenings their fathers
show the boys how to carve the odd pieces
of walrus ivory into miniature ducks,
wolves, whales and every bird, beast and
fish that they know. They also have sports
at this time in which the older folks partici-
pate, but my space will not allow me to de-
scribe them.
OF all the games that the white men have
introduced among them or played before
them, there is none that pleases them so
much as the simple game Of dominoes,
which they will play by the hour. They
often make exact duplicates in walrus ivory
of the domino sets brought North by the
white men-Frederick Schwstka,i in YOUTH

at is curious" said tonsorial artist to a
Minneapolis Journal man, "how some peo-
pie behave in BARRIERS chair. They will
smoke, read, talk with their friends, and
some make regular practice of going to
sleep as soon as q barber begins operations
upon his face. There is one man in partic-
ular who comes in here to be shaved. he
has a very hard beard and very tender
face. 1t is a stand-0f which dislikes the JOB
most, the shaver or the shavee. So he got
into the habit of going to sleep while being
shaved. He becomes unconscious Of the
pain and goes off feeling that he has had
good shave, whether his face has been
scraped a little too hard or not. l suppose
the manipulation of barber's hands exercise
a magnetic, soothing effect, for l have
heard men say that they could go to sleep
easier in BARRIERS chair than they could at
home in bed
"But ! heard Of one man who wishes that
he had never gone to sleep in baroer's
chair. He dropped into shop out at
Denver, Col, and went to sleep about as
soon as he stretched out in the chair. He
was q very nervous man. He must have
got to dreaming, for just as the barber was
about to shave his upper lip be gave ire
mendous lurch forward and the razor sew
cred about an inch of his nose as Clearly as
you please. The barber was frightened
nearly to death, and so was the man, for he
thought at first the barber was trying to
kill him. His presence of mind soon re-
turned, however, and picking up his nose
he started for a doctors Office across the
way, the blood streaming as he ran. The
doctor happened to be skillful surgeon,
and he clapped the nose back in its place,
where it finally grew firmly together. 1t

The Return Editor.

HIS literary style makes up In fcrce and
clearness what 1t lacks in 6elicscv and re-

He has different ways of allaying the

SPEARING DUCKS.

prongs are not at the end of the spear, but
bout one-thlrd Of the way back from the
front end. The shaft, being of wood, the
weapon viii float, and when it strikes duck
the prongs, of thin, elastic musk-ox horn or
walrus ivory, spring back and ride over'

barbs. II the prongs were at or near the

dragging the weapon after ii lend on
which would be comparatively easy; but
being near the middle ii has TO drag the
spear through the water at right angles to
its line of flight This exhausts il in q few
seconds, and the boy can pick 1t up.
The time for spearing ducks IS in the
summer when they are mounting, or she'd
ding their feathers, and can not iy, so their
only way to escape is by diving and swim
ming. The boys, seeing flock or ducks
near by, take their spears and get their
sealskin canoes, or kidks, as they call them,
and give pursuit The ducks sy away as
the Boys approach, but are rapidly overnauled
and the birds next try TO escape by diving.

W hen the ducks have once begun diving
Il IS the object OF the boys to press them
and allow them as little breathing time as
possible when they appear above the water.

PLASTER OF PARIS.
New Process of Gardening Tits AdaI
f;nu Cor Flooring.

New Process of Gardening Tits Adap-
ton for Flooring.
The French Academy Of Sciences, says La
Semaine des Constructors, has just re-
ceived communication from Mr.. Julie on
new process of hardening plaster SO as to
adapt it to the construction of flooring in
place of wood, and to other purposes for
which IL can not be used in its ordinary
state on account of it's want of hardness
and resistance to crushing.
Mr.. Julie recommends the intimate MKT
ure of six parts of plaster of good quality
with one part of finely sifted, recently
slaked white lime. This mixture is en-
ployed like ordinary plaster. After it has
become thoroughly dry, the object manu-
featured from it is saturated with solu-
ton of any sulphate whatever whose base
is precipitated in an insoluble form by lime.
The sulphates best adapted for the purpose,
from every point of view, are those of iron
and zinc.
With sulphate of zinc the object remains
white, as might be supposed. With sui
phate of iron the object, at first greenish,
finally assumes, through dessication, the
characteristic tint of the sesquioxide of
iron. The hardest surfaces are obtained
with iron, and the resistance to breakageis
twenty times greater than that Of ordinary
plaster. In order TO obtain maximum of
hardness and tenacity il is necessary to
temper the lined plaster well in as brief
space of time as possible, and with no more
water than is strictly necessary. The
object to be hardened should be very dry,
SO that the solution employed may pene-
trate it easily. The solution should be near
the point of saturation, and the first i'm
mersion should not exceed two hours. II
immersed 100 long the plaster would be.
come friable.
The proportions of the lime and plaster
are arbitrary, and may be varied according
to the results TO be obtained; nevertheless,
the proportions of one to SIX have given the
best results.
As It is important that the plaster should
rot be spread over the surface by passing
and repassiug the troweI for too long a
time. the fastest workman viii always be
the best one TO employ. When sulphate OF
iron is used, the slabs are of the color OF
iron rust; but if llnseed oil boiled with
litharge be passed over the surface, they
assume a beautiful mahogany color, and
offer a certain superficial elasticity to the
tread. If q coat of hard oopal varnish be
added, the color becomes very beautiful.
On spreading a two or three inch layer Of
lined plaster in room, and treating it in
the way above described, we obtain floor
which is as smooth as mirror, and VIII ch
in most cases, fultlls the Office of an oak
floor but which has the advantage over the
latter of costing fOpr times less
