or skin canoes, carrying one person, and
bidarkas, a larger boat of a similar construc-
ton, made from the skin of the sea lion
stretched over wooden or whalebone frame.
In addition to the seals and sea-lionS they
depend largely upon the humpback whale,
which they kill by striking with an ivory
pointed harpoon, to which is attached by
long seal-skin rope a float made of a seal-skin
tightly sewn and inflated with air.
The method of killing the whale is to sur
round him by fleet of canoes and constantly
striking him with harpoons, finally wearing
him out, when he is drawn up to the shore by
ropes attached TO the seal skin floats which
mark the spot where he sank. The blub-
blubber is eaten raw and his bones are used
as rafters for their houses. The Aleutian
Islands furnish no timber except drift-wood.
The original habitation of these people was
a baraba, which is simply pit in a hillside
with rafters and uprights of driit-wood OF
whale-ribs and covered with moss or earth
The principal vocation of these people is
the hunting of the sea otter. In the Sum-
mer season they also depend largely upon
birds, which resort in myriads to these regions
fresh meat and eggs, but also outer garments,
which they manufacture from the breasts of
the sea-fowl, making warm, waterproof
coat.
The Eskimo tribes on the mainland on the
coast Of the Siberian seas and running around
to the Arctic Ocean depend chiefly for subsist-
ence upon the walrus and whale, together with
birds in the Summer for change AS the ex-
termination of the sea otter has proved great
blow to the prosperity of the Aieutians, so
has the defamation of the walrus Of late years
brought the people of the coast to the verge
of starvation, and they have been compelled
to depend to great extent upon the supplies
from the whaling fleets which annually go
into these waters on the way to the Arctic
hunting-grounds. These Eskimo add the
caribou and marmot as a source of supply, and
recently through the efforts of DIR. Jackson,
of the Bureau OF Education, the reindeer has

years, however, they have abandoned these
native blankets and adopted in their place
those purchased of American or European
manufacturers. They have therefore, by
civilization become distinctively Blanket
Indians" Another art in which they were
very adept was the making of mats from
grasses and roots, which they used to carpet
their huts, covering their Summer houses,
and in cases of necessity even to utilize as
clothing.
OF the Eskimo races the best known are
the Aleutians, who had become to great
extent civilized by the efforts of the priests
of the Greek Church prior to the acquisition
of the territory to the United States. Practi-
cally the whole race belongs to this church,
and the people have been much intermarrled
with the Russians, until large proportion of
the population consists of half-castes, the
progeny of Aleutian mothers and Russian
fathers.

EMBARRASSING
MADE EASY.
DEAR COMRADES:

DEAR COMRADES:
Each old or present subscriber who
gets US one or more new subscribers
during the month of August will receive
Gf he requests them), postpaid, two
books, "The Cannoneer and Captur-
ing a Locomotive" The new subscribers
will also receive them, and the promise
of these two great books makes it an easy
matter to get their subscriptions
We know how highly you esteem
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and how you
work for it, keeping it ahead of most all
other weekly papers in point of cireula-
ton. We know, too, how surprised
some of you are, at times, when you are
getting up clubs, to run across some
people who do not fully appreciate The
TRIBUNE-who, indeed, are inclined to
dispute your statement that it is the best
paper published on the face of the earth.
Well, there are such people. But let
US tell you this: If you once get them
to take the paper, they soon come around
to your opinion and subscribe year after
year with great regularity.
Now this situation suggests questions
Why not offer subscribers such Big IN
daseements that the club-raiser viii suo-
coed with every person solicited?
With this end in view we have
made the offer you will see elsewhere
on this page of giving two large books,
"The Cannoneer and Capturing a
Locomotive" to everyone who sub
scribes during the month of August.
We intend, also, to send these two
books with every premium sent to 3
club-raiser. That is, in addition to tho
premium he works for and earns, whether
it be large or small, we will send these
two books as present. We never forget
old friends when cutting watermelon.
Surely this makes embarrassing easy.
All you have to do with persons solicited
to subscribe is to show them the paper
and its attractions, describe the free
books Cor let them read about them In
the paper), and take their dollars.
Remit the dollars, with their full adj
dresses, to us, and we will do the rest :
that is, we will send to each address the
two books at once and the paper for
year, and to you we will send the books
also, and the premiums, all postpaid.
All comrades who ere at present
working for clubs may offer these two
books to each subscriber. This enables
them to promptly complete the clubs
they are working for, however large
Comrades, just try for clubs now
You will surely succeed.

These hunters take the bear, wolverine, sill
ver-gray and cross foxes, land otter, mink, mar
tin, sable, wolves and other animals indigenous
to the forests and streams of the Northwest.
In addition to the supplies they purchase OF
the traders these Indians subsist upon game
and the salmon with which the streams
abound annually when the fish make their
way up from the ocean to spawn. This race
of people seems destined to an early extinc-
ton because their numbers are so small that
it would seem hardly probable that they will
survive the process of civilization, as may be
hoped for in the case of the various tribes of
the Eskimos groups and the Thlingits of
southeastern Alaska.

In addition to the watch we send in
every instance handsome chain, so that

Understand that you pay nothing for

If unwilling to spare even the little
time required to get up the club, we will
send the watch and chain with The

No one, therefore, need be without a
