A New Use For Women's Jaws.

y "A new U0e EOF "Omen0 JAWS
4 Mrs. Peary Of arctic fame is credited
with the following: 1.-THE native meth
cd of treating skins Of all animals in
tended for clothing is to rid them of as
much of the fat as can be got off by
soraping with knife. Then they are
stretched tight as possible and allowed
to become perfectly dry. After this they
are taken by the women and chewed and
sucked all over in order to get as much
Of the grease out as possible. Then they
are again dried and scraped with a
dull implement, SO as to break the
fbers, making the skin pliable. Chew
ing the skin is very hard on the women,
and all Of it is done by them. They can
not chew more than two deerskins per
day and are obliged to rest their jaws
svery other day.
