WHAT WILL IT MATTER2

= What will II matter when die
What have done In former years:
Whether prevailed the smiles or tears?'
Someone has asked, with heavy sigh
What Will II matter by and by
What will IL matter. Much. indeed.
Whether your life was mean and low.
Whether you cared for none you know
Saving yourself and daily need,
And nought for hearts that break and bleed
4 word Of yours might chance 70 be
A source Of strength 10 some sad soul
When storms arc high and pillows roll;
Echoing His who stiled the sea
And hushed the storm on Galilcc.
A kindly act OF yours might lie
A cornerstone In some true breast.
On which noble life might rest
Though hidden from the human eye,
II holds the turrets TO tho sky.
Your life might be simple song.
Whose mellow music, day by day.
Flows freely forth into tho way,
Reaching some souls that pass along,
Making them joyous pure and strong.
There is no life. however low.
But has some helpful work to do.
But can some worthy aim pursue.
The humblest ono can never know
How for the loving heart-beats CO.
For tits not gold alone We need
In the wide worlds great human strife.
But more Of love in human lite.
While honor cheers the chiefs who Leaf.
Love stoops to heal the hearts that bleed.
What does IL matters None can say
How far the waves Of influence roll,
How hard they dash against the soul;
The good or i'll they bear away
70 bring again some future day.

says that they are the most abject be-
ings he ever saw. They neither wash
nor comb their hair. and they wear
dirty, filthy garments year in and year
out Esquimaux means "raw fish
eaters" their diet is chiefly fish and
game, kept until 1t is in state oil
putrefaction. when to them it is most
delicious. Raw blubber OF the whale
is great delicacy. Their manner Of
eating is dog-like. Fixing their teeth
in pieces Of blubber with dull knife
they saw of the portion which the
mouth will not admit. The men hunt
and fish. while all other work is done
by the women. They know nothing OF
marriage vows; they cohabit, separate
and take new partners at pleasure, one
man often having o succession Of wives.
The old-time custom of tattooing the
face, arms and breast is still! practiced.
The women wear ivory studs in the
lower lip in which is inserted their
sewing needle for convenience wher
not in use. The men also have these
apertures with bone or ivory studs in
their cars, in which rings are inserted.
This same fashion prevails largely II
