The Fat wives Of Labrador.

The dress of the women Of Labrador
usually consists of huge seal-skin boots,
petticoat, sesl-skin garment covering
the whole person from the neck to the
knees trimmed with white fur, cap en-.
veloping the entire head, and sort Of
baggy cape or hood hanging down the
back, In which their fat little babies are
carried: The cradleis unknown among
the Esquimaux; but the universal ten
Disney OF all mothers to bounce, sway and
heAve about the helpless infant, has illus
tfation here in the ''jigging' of the Els.
quimaux child, in its aerial CRADLE.
Walking or sitting the Esquimaux moth
or has an endless movement like that of
an old tar under heavy sea. It is
writhing, weaving, swaying motion
which cannot : be adequately described.
But It sufiices, and the fat mother gets
good deal of exercise out of it, whatever
the effect upon the babe. Only among
the half-breed women are there forms
and faces that are attractive as civilized
folks judge these things. The compen-
sation is here, however, for nearly all
Esquimaux women will measure in girth
what they win in height; and all forms
Of fat represent the Labradorian idea Of
both utility and beauty. At childbear-
ing their own women officiate as mid.
wives; and they get along very well in
every respect without physicians. There
is not resident doctor in all Labrador;
nor, for that matter, a lawyer. Or

Z strange object run across tie road:
Thinking at first s ght chat it was 4 wild

It finally ran Tito an immense oak

the tree with sticks the party succeeded
in driving out an old wolf, which imme-

Tanning an Elephant Hide.

It weighed about twelve hundred
pounds, and was about an inch and d
third thick. AT or being put into q
reservoir Of pure water to green it, it
was beaten for one hour every day with
an iron OH d large anvil. After being
ten days in pure wafer it was left for
another ten days in water with about
four per cent. ii salt. Then it was re
placed in pure water aga n for twenty
DAYS. During those forty days it was
constantly in soak. The head and feet,
weighing about three hundred pounds,
were then removed, and the skin hung
on spikes in the drying groom. After
hanging one day it was put in a vat coii-
tainirg potash and q sma Quantity OF
sulphur Of sodium in the following pro-
portions water 1000 parts; Stacked
lime, twenty-five parts; potash, three
pats; sulphur Of sodium, two parts.
AT or being two days in this bath 1t was
rinsed in pure water Of temperature OF
twenty degrees, when it was again
placed in the drying-rooni. After this
double operation was repeated three
times the skin was ready to have the
hair taken of. This operation occupied
about one days time, and gave about
seventy-five pounds Of hair. Another
day was spent in cleaning and scraping.
BY this time it lost 80 per cent. OF its
weight. The operation of its prepare
t;on lasted two months, and it went
through the same course as cowhides,
with the Difference that each phase
the work took three times as much time.
The skin Should be stretched in the pit,
and placed in the middle Of cowhides.

One Of the most delicate exhibits Of
long skilled handicraft, at tie present
French exhibition, is from the linen
looms of Ireland, in the form Of damask
napkins out Of set of two dozen doilies,
made for a jubilee gift to Queen Victoria
by Belfass manufacturer. These
doilies are woven from the finest linen
yarn which has everyet been spun from
fax fibre. The napkin is exhibited in
its unb cached state, and also its
bleached and finished condition. Upon
each is strikingly faithful delineatidn
Of the factory from which it comes.
The building is photographed, as it
we're, in the linen web.
One Of these damask doilies, about
sixteen inches square, contains three
thousand and sixty threads of warp and
four thousand and { elve threads of
wool, and these threads, joined together,
would OK end d stance OF more than
two miles,. Yet the napkin seems to be

On the damask work are represented
forty four different species Of ferns,

hand made, at one hundred guineas
yard, handkerchief at two hundred and
fifty dollars each, and many other sam
pies Of exguis te skill and pat emit toll,
from the north of Ireland looms, are in
cIuded in the display.
In further illustration of this great
industry, there is q display Of faxseed,
the flax plant with its blue flower, fax
straw, scutched fax and fax spun into
yarn and wound upon bobbins ready
for weaving. There are also illustra ed
