Where They Eat Gods.

AT certain seasons in some parts
Of India Ii is the duty of every de-
vout person to eat a special sort of
confectionery. Every confectioner
IN October, for instance, has a pole
about 6 feet high at his door, and to
this is nailed a great hook about a
foot long and thick in proportion.
On one side Of this is brisk fire
with huge earthen pan on it. Be-
fore the pan man may be seen sit
ting-for nobody stands when he
can sit-with a kind of wooden ladle,
and with this he briskly stirs a
quantity. of bubbling, black looking
sugar till it becomes quite tough. He
then scrapes it together and puts it
on piece of board to cool little,
and then getting up and dexterously
throwing it on the large hook he
begins to pull out the tough sub,
stance.
He draws it out to the length of
or feet at a time and throws it
back and elongates it again and so
he manipulates it till the mass be-
comes as white as snow.

manufactured in all sorts of sacred

LANGUAGE OF THE ESKIMO.


Spoken by the Inhabitants of More Than
Ten Thousand Miles of Coast Land.
The Eskimo language, which is
spoken at the extreme north of this
hemisphere, is also found in the
north of Asia. The people have been
called Orarians-that is, jewellers
on the shore. They inhabit mar
row strip of country around the
margin of Greenland, and to the
west of Baffin's bay, around all the
great islands and down the coast to
the gulf of ST. Lawrence, on the
western shore of Hudson bay, and
about the bays and straits to the
north; then to the west around
Alaska, and still further along the
arctic shores of the eastern CONT
nent. They thus extend along the
winding island and mainland coast
for more than 5000 miles, inhabit-
ing narrow fringe of country by
the sea, and obtaining their liveli-
hood therefrom. More than 10, 600
miles of coast land are occupied by
people who speak one language.
But in Newfoundland there are
tribes which speak another tongue
mixed with the Eskimo, while on
the southwest coast there are other
tribes speaking mixed tongues, and
the same is true of tribes inhabiting
the northern coast of Asia. If we
call all these tongues Eskimo,
then the principal tongue is still
homogeneous and a common medi-
UNI for the communication of tribes
occupying, as have said, more than
10000 miles of the most difficult
coast known to mankind. While
there is INSTRUMENTATION, it is
infrequent because of the difficulties
and perils of arctic navigation.
Thus, in all that stretch of country
there is but one language.
What are the conditions under
which this language has been pre-
served in it's integrity and homoge-
neity? Simply these: The territory
occupied by the people speaking this
language is cut off from the interior
by an uninhabtable belt of glacial
land, 50 that the means of commu-
nication are to be found mainly on
the seward side. The inhabitants,
having been distributed over this
enormous belt of coast from print
tive tribe having one language, have
preserved that language through all
their vicissitudes and stages of cul-
ture, while in the southeast, where
the Eskimoan territory joins terri
tory occupied by tribes having other
tongues, we find mixed languages.
The same facts appear on the south
7rn coast of Alaska, in languages
Differentiated from the main stock
by admixture with other languages.
With the exception pointed out, the
Gskimoan language is the purest
known on this hemisphere.
SO far as they have been studied, ali
other languages are compounded of
1t least two and usually of many

Mannerisms, personal peculiarities

had reared with such loving care and then
of the cold blooded proposition just made

his strong, undying parental love, he made

How DR.. Depew Laughs.

Did you ever read description OF Mr.,
Depew's laugh? He does not laugh silent
ly. as SO many do. He is not afraid to let
his voice be heard. He listens to the good
story that is being told, and when the
point is reached he throws back his head,
opens wide his spacious mouth and let's out
a yolley of ha has that can be heard over
every other noise. The laugh is loud and
long, hearty and infectious. 1t Is good
honest laugh. The metal rings true.
There is nothing counterfeit about IT..
Mr.. Depew laughs just as heartily at his
own stories as he does at the stories OF
others. This Is practice condemned by
most persons as in poor taste. The true
artist in story telling will, 1t Is argued,
look as solemn as an owl when everybody
else is roaring at the joke. That was the
way with the late Bill Nye. But Mr.. De-
pew likes to enjoy his own jokes with
those that hear them. He Is not the only
good story teller that does the same thing
Few persons can tell story better thar
little Marshall p. Wilder, but he always
laughs at the end the same as his listen
ers. and he defends the practice as proper
and in good taste.--Philadelphi Ledger.
