The Eskimo's Kayak.

Some queer craft are described by
Gustav Kobbe in st. Nicholas, and he
says of the native Greenlander's boat:
While the tropical and semitropical
sailor clings TO his lateen rig, the ex-
IRENE northern race, the Eskimo, clings
perforce to his kayak and paddle. The
kayak suggests our racing shell, but
without the sliding seat, and so covered
over that only hole remains to admit
the body. Even if the Eskimo of the
extreme north wished TO adopt sail,
he could not do so for lack of wood for
the mast The light frame of his kayak
is made of bone skillfully thonged with
seal leather, and the skin Of the seal is
generally used for the covering 1 have
seen the Eskimos of Labrador in their
kayaks, and it is wonderful with what
a quick, nervous culver these light craft
respond to the slightest touch of the
paddle. Within easy reach are the har-
poems, guns and bladder floats of these
daring sea hunters, who, in their frail
looking kayaks, with icebergs towering
almost in their course, and the white
glare of the ice loom" in the offing,
brave dangers compared with which
those encountered by the navigators Of
the flying proas, dahabeahs and mu-
letas are trifing. The Eskimos furnish
the extreme instance Of that logged
courage of the northern races which,
united with intellectual energy, has
enabled those more favored in their sur
roundings than these jewellers on arctic
shores to develop into the great people
of the earth.

The individuality of Women.

In dealing with the so-called woman
question, one of the most usual errors
which is encountered on both sides is
the persistent habit of regarding women
not as individuals, but as a class apart,
who may be depended upon to think
and act alike on all questions. The
very phrases woman question,
''women's sphere" show how cunning
ly this fallacy creeps into all discus
sions. One never hears of mans
question. 1t is simply taken for grant
ed that man does what he chooses in
the world, conditioned simply by nat
ural, not artificial limitations. Were
women treated simply as individuals
and not en- masse, their position would
be the same. And what is of the great
est Importance, the natural differences
of sex would show themselves as they
never yet have had chance of doing.
No one will seriously attempt to deny
that the maternal function constitutes
vast difference between men and
women, but in exactly what this differ
cnce consists and how far it goes has
never yet been ascertained, because the
path of women has been, for the most
part. marked out for them and they
have had no choice but to walk therein,
or forfeit many things which women,
and men also hold dear-EliZa bet N

Honor.

When the notion is once firmly i'm
planted in the mind that the source of
honor is from without rather than from
within, it must invariably happen that
the possession of external distinction
will be preferred to the sense of inter
nal power. In such cases the majesty
of the human intellect and the dignity
of human knowledge are considered
subordinate TO those mock and spur
ious gradations by which weak men
measure the degrees of their own lit
tleness. To talk of the pride of here
ditary rank is contradiction in terms.
The proud man sees in his own mind
the source OF his own dignity. The
vain man, restless, Unsuitable, and al
ways craving after the admiration OF
his contemporaries. must naturally
make great account Of those external
marks, those visible tokens, which,
whether they be decorations or titles,
strike directly on the senses, and thus
captivate the vulgar, to whose under
standings they are Immediately OBJ.

Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went 10 the store and secured
bottle of IT, His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
oughly and in hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or pain ard
finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

TAMMANY is making an earnest e.
fort to eliminate national politics from
the municipal campaign this year, in
the hope of again getting control OF the
immense patronage of the New York
city government. Owing to the bitter
ness eogendered among the district
leaders in the last presidential cam
paigD, however, the task seems hope
less, though Sheehan tried to bridge
over this difficulty by recently dividing
the Tammany executive committee
equally between the god and silver
