Mrs. Peary,s Sewing Machine.

In the good ship Falcon, which has
sailed away to carry band of intrepid
voyagers up into the frozen regions, was
noticed part Of its cargo a sewing
machine. Mrs. Peary has told of the
prize which needle proved to the Eski-
mo women, and how on her previous
voyage one of them unprovided with
such treasure came and asked for one
of them, offering her child in exchange.
The Eskimo wears her bone needle in a
case hung from her neck, and the mar
velOus steel ones which 'sthis woman
from the SOUTH" as they call Mrs. Peary,
brought up were almost too precious to
be carried i'll any way, but new cases
were made, the cords strengthened, and
these, too, were worn scapula fashion
against the skin.
What the sharp eyed little creatures
will say to the sewing machine when
they see it reelng off the seams of the
skins, which they SO laboriously accom-
plish, will be interesting to hear about
New York Times.
