to cure which they rely on fungus.
They are nomadic In their habits, NOV
ing about from place 70 place In bark
canoes. In the center OF which fire Is
always burning. Each canoe contains
family, the vile rowing while the
husband Is always on watch with his
jayelin.
Three different kinds OF spears are
always carried. one for birds Sec
ond for fish and third for crabs On
landing the woman has first. Of all. to
carry her husband ashore. he holding
the fire carefully above water. When
everything is ashore the woman at
once begins the erection OF their prim-
tive hut The men ARE rarely able TO
swim, but the women are without ex-
ceptions. expert swimmers. and this
together with the constant work 40
rowing gives them extraordinary mus
cular power. TO maintain their posi-
tons as lords OF creation the men have
recourse TO mysterious rites from
which the women are excluded.
Polygamy is practiced 10 the extent OF
each man usually having two wives
an older and a younger one.
Without writing OF any kind, they
yet preserve many rules and customs,
more or less traditional and mainly
relating TO the chase. They are good
natured and helpful. not addicted TO
lying or theft but are very tenacious
In the defense OF their rights. They
love long stories and conversations.
and in these good part OF their time
is spent One OF their tales, OF an ex-
traordinarily strong man who was made
OF stone, and was ultimately killed by u
thorn entering vulnerable spot in his
heel. recalls the story OF Achilles. De-
void OF all religious ideas and duties,
they have vague idea OF the spirits
OF the departed wandering about In the
world, and as greatly 10 be feared.

How 10 sharpen a Pencil.

at really makes me tired TO see the
average man sharpen a pencil" said
an old newspaper man in stationary
store TO Washington Star reporter.
HE will cut his fingers. cover them
with dirt and blacken them with lead
dust. and still will not sharpen the
pencil.
There Is but one way to sharpen q
lead pencil aud that Is TO grasp IL firm
ly with the point from and not toward
YOU. Take your knife in the other hand
and whittle away as though YOU had
lots of pencils TO waste. By following
these directions and turning the pencil
over you will soon have il neatly and
regularly sharpened. and your fingers
will be unsoiled and you will not need
any court plaster To put on the wounds
because you cannot cut your fingers
when whiting from them.
This method is the best. whether
the knife is dull or sharp. II the PEN
Gil Is n soft Que there Is no sense in
sharpening the lead. Simply cut
away the wood, and in writing turn the
pencil over, thus writing with the sides
of the lead.
Another disgusting and senseless
habit Is ia placing the pencil In tho
mouth when writing This Is relic
OF the days when pencils were as hard
as Hint and before the manufacturers
were able to produce the smooth, soft
pencils that are used to-day. The con-
tinual dampening OF the lead will
harden even a good graphite pencil
