ESKIMO TAILORING.

Member of Peary's Party.
In his Narrative of the Voyage OF

II will be remem bered that the Kite

measure. This was done in a rather
primitive manner. Having selected
sealskin of sufficient length and width,
it was wrapped around the limb, the
fur side inward. The surplus material
was then bent over with the fingers,
and the skin removed. The crease so
formed served as guide for the next
procedure, which consisted in biting
along the line with the teeth, so as 10

This being accomplished, the skin
was again applied to the limb, and
few slight alterations were marked
with an additional bite here and there.

skin was again removed, and the lines
thus marked being followed with
rudely made knife, the cutting OF the
trousers was completed.

HARD TO PLEASE.


P1ous Music Teacher Who Didn't Care
Much About Eating.
A pious lady down south had hus-
band who was rich, but irreligiou a
conference of ministers was being held
in the town near this Col. b. S line
plantation, and Mrs B., when she
started in the morning to attend the
conference, told her husband that she
would like to bring back a lot of the
holy men to dinner with her In the
evening. She thought secretly that
they might convert the colonel He
agreed TO welcome them and Mrs h.
ordered the cook to prepare dinner
accordingly.
After she had gone the colonel asked
The cook what Mrs b. had ordered. He
found that one turkey was all she had
thought necessary and his big southern
hospitality was shocked at the idea. He
did not like preachers as a class, but if
thew were to eat at his table at all
then they should be treated in way to
do credit to the plantation and the
family. Accordingly he ordered ducks,
geese. chickens, pigeon, turtle, lamb,
mutton, beef, veal, pork, oysters and
trout, besides the turkey. He ordered
vegetables and pastry in proportion,
and by the time it was all on the great
table. set out with the family silver,
there was almost enough for forty
preachers
presently the colonels wife re-
turned, and with her was only one lit
tie, wizened, long-haired, freckled
Young man. She introduced it to the
big colonel, who could only gasp: SIS
that all, Claribel?" IAN the preachers
] found had previous engagements
whispered his wife in a disappointed
tone, but this young man is a music
teacher, who led the choir at the con-
vention. He is very pious and gives
promise of great things. l hope you
won't use any bad language while he
is here, colonel?'
Well, they sat down to the loaded
table, the colonel, his wife. the organ
player, and the colonel's son Rob, aged
thirteen, sturdy, violent, untamed, a
careful observer OF his fathers ways,
and cleaner of his fathers oaths, con-
slant source of worry to mis- mother,
and the idol and king of every negro
on the plantation.
"NVill you have some turtle soup, sir?"
asked the genial colonel, beaming
with pleasure as the darkies removed
the covers"
'No, thanks" replied the organ
player. 81 never take soup"
"Some oysters then?"
Same answer
'Trout?
"NO, thanks"
'Pi Eeon?"
''%ever eat pigeon, thank you."
"IlamD?
Same answer.
The colonel's smile disappeared, and
be began to look troubled. Beef,
then?" ne said
Same answer.
This veal" said the host, pleadingly,
as excellent-my own raising. Try
Bone?"
u never eat veal, thank you"
"TurSey?"
Same answer.
"Duck?"
40, thanks"
"Goose?"
Not any,"
Only the pork was left now, and the
colonel was in despair. What sort Of a
man was this, anyway? What did he
eat? The thoroughly disappointed
colonel was just about to offer the last
dish when his son Rob, who had been
listening with open-mouthed wonder to
all these refusals of the good things of
this earth until he could hold himself
no longer, blurted out:
Say, pop, p'raps the durn little snipe
would suck an egg."-N. Y. Tribune.
