Ate Bear Liver and Went Mad.

The Esquimaux live by fishing and
hunting. In th1 water they find the
seal, whale and walrus. The flesh of
the walus furnishes food aud the teeth,
which arr of the finest ivory, are legal
tender. On land are the polar bears,
blue foxes, geese, pelicans aud millions
Of ducks. The Esquimau used to kill
the polar bear single handed with spear
and hunting knife. He would steal up
near it, hurl the spear, aud as the
wounded animal numbered toward him,
would close with it, and in hand-to-
hand conflict would begin the death
struggle. armed only with an eighteen
inch hunting knife. But it was very
dangerous. Many lives were lost in such
struggles, and nowadays, unless with a
shotgun, single Esquimau seldom at
tacks a polar bear We shot several of
them, and when we cleaned them every
dog that ate of their livers vent mad and
ran bowling about the ship. and finally
Jumped overheard and was drowned.
The polar bear meat has strong, fishy
taste and is is not very palatable. The
blue fox is the Esqnimau's finest game.
Its fur is the rarest and costliest in the
world. l saw the Empress of Russia al
St. PeterSburgh, on state occasion,
clad in mantle of blue fox fur. The
blue COX is chased with dogs aud spears,
but it has the cunning of its species and
is seldom captured. = Chicago Herald.
