Eskimo Life.

If Nansen praises the paradisiacal con-
dition of the primitive Eskimo, he owns
that their morality left something to de-
sire. Their manners aud ha bits, now as
then, must be remarkab bly, free and easy.
Half dozen families, larger or smaller,
may huddle together through the winter
in n single dark and sitting hut.
If they wear clothes OF any kind, the
dress is so slight as to be quite indistin-
guishable from utter nakedness. In the
upper and more refined circles the married
couples, with their younger children, may
lie apart beneath the sleeping benches
Otherwise all are packed promiscuously
together. So that the Greenland gentle
man of the old school really did not offer
much when he placed every one Of his
wives, with the other contents of the hoy,
el, at the disposal of any casual visitor.
With those easy notions AS to relations
between the sexes, it followed naturally
that the family of any Greenland maiden
thought her highly honored when any
white settler threw the handkerchief to
her, whether he were chief of a post or
merely n common sailor. That growing
intermixture of the races has been tending
to their respective deterioration. Black

A Good Word For tho Newspaper.

At recent business convention Gov
ernor Francis of Missouri, who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks, paid
tribute to the local newspaper as fol-
lows:
Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to 5000 in free lines to the COM
munity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The editor,
in proportion to his means, does more for
his town than any other 10 men, and in
all fairness with men he ought to be sup
ported-not because you like him tr ad-
mire his writings, but because the local
paper is the best investment commu-
nifty can make. It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but
financially it is Of more benefit to the
community than the teacher or preacher.
Understand me. do not mean men
tally or morally, but financially, and
yet on the moral question you will find
most of the local papers on the right
side. Today the editors of the home pa
pers do the most for the least money
Of any people on the face Of the earth"

The Ethics of Boxing.

How many men who think of the squared
circle as a scene of pure and simple
brutality, and of the Queensberry rules as
so much criminal literature, have ever
read them? Not one in 10000, rs ven-
ture to think or they never would so re-
gard them. The first of those famous but
little read rules is in these words: ITO be
fair, standup boxing match, in IA "a
foot ring, or as near that size as practic;t-
ble." "A fair, standup" contest, mark
you!
Tho ring is to be large enough to give
each contestant plenty of room to try ev-
cry fair form of strategy-rushing, slip
ping, getting away, stepping to this side
or that, delivering his gloved hand as best
he can, and evading his opponents return
blow as skillfully as he may. In short,
both men are to have "a fair field and no
favor"
Is any man so dull or perver5e as not to
see the wholesome moral teaching of this
rule-''a fair, standup boxing matchE'
Why, that is the very best foundation
stone on which to build Il strong moral
character-a recognition of the equal right
of the other man to rs fair a chance in the
battle of life as yourself.
| have never known Il man who enjoyed
boxing, who could stand up and take Il
blow as well as give one. and abide in per-
feet good temper the result of IL setto in
which he had no advantage over his an
tagonist except such as his own powers
gave him, who was consciously and delib-
erately unjust, overreaching or cruel Il
his daily dealings with his fellow men.
And have never known man who WAS
habitually grasping, mean, tricky and m
fair in his business treatment of other
men who was not quite convinced of the
utter brutality of boxing. - Donahoe's

down into TIE childrcn's domain, rather to
the disadvantage of the small people, whose
eyes are so bright and complexions so pure
that it seems unappreciative to deck them
out in costly and striking stuffs and modes
that distract the eye from their natural
beauties. Mothers of the most refined tastes
still hold to the fine flannels and pretty soft
wooden goods for their children, made and
trimmed in a suitably simple fashion, de
ferring the purple and fine linen to later
period. Soft, bright plaids are always ap
propriate and youthful, while nuns yelling,
cashmere and fine French serge in delicate
colors are quite dainty enough for festive
occasions In white or cream the latter
goods wash we'll and SO may be kept inn

are ruined forever. 1t is strange, but there

soiled finery
