Methods of Eskimo Ceurrsh,p,

m0CnOus Of EskimO C0urtship.
The Eskimo of to-day, having once
established his manhood by killing q
polar bear unaided, Is sent forth by his
kindred to seek q wife, and the first
girl he can surprise unawares he seizes
and, in spite Of her screams and strug.
giles. endeavors to carry off. This
proving no easy feat, owing to the sub
stantial proportions of the Eskimo
belle, together with the enormous
weight of her clothing, an exciting race
occurs. The lady, darting among the
aroused neighbors, lodges her suitor in
the crowd. which eagerly assists her,
and 1t is only after he has succeeded in
catching her the third time that he is
permitted to lead his blushing bride to
to hymeneal altar. The Australian
aborigine adopts more. summary pro-
cess when weary of single life; he
looks about for IA partner, and, finding
one to his liking stalks her, and watch-
ing his opportunity, stuns her with a
heavy blow, and carries her off to her
new home where, it is to be hoped, on
her return to consciousness, his after
tenderness makes some atonement for
his somewhat rough and ready way Of
wooing. .-Lippincott'A

Types OF Boats Now Used In tho United
States Service.
There are many kinds of lifeboats
and many other devices for effecting
communication by lines between q
wreck and the shore. The type of
boat in most general use in our service
is distinctively known as a surfboat
1t Is made of white cedar upon a white
oak frame. 1t is from twenty-five to
twenty-seven feet in length. with its
other dimensions proportionate. It is
propelled by six oars, and will carry,
besides the crew, from ten to fifteen
persons. The excellence of these boats
is shown by the record during the
eighteen years they have been used in
the hands of the life-saving crews.
They have been launched In actual
service six Thousand seven hundred
and thirty times, and have safely
landed from wrecked vessels six
thousand seven hundred and thirty.
five persons. They have cspsized but
fourteen times, ak Of these accidents
being attended with loss of life. OF
the boats crews, twenty-seven wore
drowned, being one for every two hum
dred and forty lives saved.
A "self-righting" lifeboat Is largely
used In the English service, and in our
own to limited extent by way of ex-
pertinent. This boat Ia constructed
with air-chambers at the bow and
stern and several hundred pounds of
iron In the keel. These cause the boat
to fright" itself when capsized by the
waves It is Of necessity heavy and

service Is on tho whole favorable

adopted by our own government The
proportionate loss Of life from capsiz.
ing Is considerably less with the surf
boats. The self-righting boat is four
fold heavier than the other, weighing
about four thousand pounds. Boats
are being constantly improved and
perfected, one of the latest devices be-
ing for self-bailing. by which water

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The thirty-fifth birth
day of Emperor William was celebrated
today throughout Germany in the most
elaborate and enthusiastic manner, and
with a display of regard for the en-
peror never before manifested by the
people Of Germany, who, in addition to
celebrating the Emperor's birthday,
have been celebrating the twenty-tifth
anniversary of his entering the Prus-
sian army, and above all. the reconcilia-
ton between the emperor and Bis
marck. Emperor William was born in
Berlin January 27, 1852 and succeeded
to the throne on the death Of his father,
the late Emperor Frederick, on June Is,
1888. The streets around the imperial
palace were thronged with people at
an early hour this morning, and Berlin
ITSELF from the center to the extreme
suburbs, presented decidedly animated
appearance. The ceremonies were open
ed by royal salute of 101 guns fired
a little before 10 a. M, at which hour
the emperor received the congratula-
tions of the members of the imperial
family. The emperor then received the
officers of his staff and chiefs Of the
civil and military cabinets, as well as
a number of other distinguished people.
After these visits the whole court at
tended an impressive religious service
in the royal chapel. Immediately after
wards the members of the royal fam
lily and representatives of the royal
families present proceeded to Whitehall
castle, where a grand reception Of ali
the notables in Berlin was held. The
ceremony of giving out the parole and
countersign occurred soon after amidst
scene of the greatest military splen-
dor. All the celebrated officers Of the
empire We're present The variety of
dazzling uniforms covered with glitter
ing orders and stars was positively be-
widering. Among the former minis
ters of state who attended the recep-
ton in Whitehall was Count Herbert
Won Bismarck, and speculations as to
his future continued to be made on ali
sides. The belief is generally expressed
that he will be appointed to some post
of influence. The schools, both public
and private throughout the empire, cell
ebrated the holiday.

ouTRAaEs OF MINERS.
Ruthless Destruction of Property by
Incensed Strikers.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.--Foreign miners
along the Panhandle road near Mans
field, Pa, angered at the English
speaking miners for returning to work
at reduced rate, this morning armed
themselves with revolvers and other
weapons and began going from mine to
mine driving out the men at work.
Several conflicts occurred in which a
/ number Of persons were hurt. The
sheriff was informed that the situation
is critical, and left at once with twen-
ty-five deputies, with orders for more
to follow.
This afternoon the sheriff was asked
for deputies at Bridgeville, near Mans
. field. A mob of two or three hundred
is reported as stopping work at all the
mines and terrorozing everybody. The
sheriff is arming deputies as rapidly as
possible.
AT dusk 1t was estimated 100000
worth Of property had been destroyed
Maddened by fancied grievances and
liquor, the mob Of several hundred for
eigners-Hungarians Slavs and Italians
swept over the country surrounding
Mansfield and attacked the mine own
ers, miners, and a few scattered dep
uty sheriffs, wrecked cars and destroy
ed property. Until noon the mob met
hardly any resistance. 1t reached the
mines of the Beading Bros, near Fed
eral, on the Plttsburg, CHARTERS, and
Youghicoghny Railway. Here the riot
ers met a determined resistance, and
were checked. With repeating Winches-
ter rifles, Thos Williams and Harry
Beading stood their graund and open
ed fire'on the mob They fired four vol
leys in quick succession, fatally wound
ing one and injuring half a dozen 9TH
ers.
After the fourth volley the rioters
fed precipltately down a hill At this
moment train bearing Sheriff Rich
ards and forty deputies pulled into
Beading, and the officers started in
pursuit of the rioters, firing as they
ran. The chase was long and hot
one, but finally sixteen were overtaken
and captured and marched to Mans
field Jail at the point of revolyers. AS
matter of precaution, the prisoners
were brought to this city and are now
safely lodged in Jail. They will be
held for riot and arson. Tonight every
thing is quiet A force Of deputies
guard every mine in the district, and
no more trouble is apprehended before
Monday. There is apprehension that
serious times are coming.

Great Excitement in the French Cham
Of Deputies


Paris, Jan. 27.-There was turbulent

sitting was finally suspended by the
president. Clovis Hughes interpolated

tcxt for suppressng the socialists
Raynall minister of the interior, re.
piled that the government only applied
the laws passed by the deputies, and
justified the seizures Of correspondence
by quoting extracts from the writings
of Reclus. Raynall said 1t was difficult
to distinguish between the socialists
and anarchists. Other speakers con-
tinued the debate, and the session be-
came SO turbulent that -he president
was compelled to order the sitting per-
emptorily suspended. Then followed a
scene that has rarely II ever been
equaled in the chamber. Men cursed
and swore at each other and shook
their fists beneath each others noses.
Several breaches OF the peace occurred,
and one pugnacious deputy went so far
as to challenge fellow member to de-
eide their differences by recourse to
la savat. M. Thivrien, the so-called
"workmen's deputy who has already
made himself notorious by wearing a
