AMERICAN PATRIOTISM.
What Is the Dominating Spirit of Fourth
of July Observances?

What Is the Dominating Spirit of Fourth
of July Observances7
Is the spirit of American patriotism
still alive? Is love of liberty and coun-
try as strongly implanted in the breasts
of the people today as it was in 1776
and 1912? Is the Fourth of July cele-
bration of today commemorative of the
birth of independence or is it mean
ingless saturnalia of noise and riotous
indulgence?
These are questions which are now
uppermost in the minds of thinking
men, Conditions which to some seem
impregnated with danger to republican
institutions have led to the fear that
patriotism is fast becoming a minor
quantity in the make up of the average
American citizen. The public heart, it
is asserted, no longer thrills with right
eous Indignation at events which in the
past would have moved the entire pop
ulace to expressions of emphatic remon-
STRANGE Orators cannot move their au
ditors to frenzy by spellbinding flights
of impassioned eloquence. Matters
which 90 or even 80 years ago would
have called for warlike preparation are
now allowed to pass almost unnoticed.
Fourth of July observation has taken
new form. Picnics and athletic compe-
titions have supplanted patriotic exer-
cises to large degree. There is as much
noise as ever, but it is noise without
enthusiasm. The old time stentorian
spouter who was wont to twist the lion 8
tail and send the American eagle soar
ing on glorious missions is in ignoble
retirement. And why?
Men of influence say these things do
not indicate decay of patriotism, but
merely that people are wiser, calmer
and more rational with advancing years
Deliberation now takes the place of
hasty, i'll considered Judgment, and the
country is better for it. Others of equal
force and influence assert that patriot
ism is in it's decadence and the fact is
portentous of evil. America, this latter
class insists is filling up too fast with
an untutored foreign element, which
the native population cannot properly
assimilate. -Chicago Tribune

me to pay for an expedition for the re-

After the sale of the ivory, burden was

THE GREENLANDER'S BOAT.
The Eskimo Will Face the Fiercest
Storms In His Kaiak.

There is no craft so difficult to handle
as the Eskimo 'kaiaH.' The only
boat familiar to us which in any way
resembles it, is the racing shell; but if
a crack oarsman of one of our crack
colleges were tied into kaiak and told
to shift for himself, even in smooth
water, he would have a hard time of it,.
The "kaiak has been evolved
through hundreds of years of necessity.
Without it the Greenland EskimOs, at
least, would not be able to provide their
daily bread, or, more properly speaking,
their daily blubber.
1t is singular that all the materials
used in the construction of the kaiak
come from the sea; driftwood for the
frame. sealskin for the covering, thongs
for the harpoon and dart, ivory and
bone for bow, stern and heel, and for
the various implements. The women
prepare the skin covering and stretch
it over the frame till ii is as tight and
firm as the head of a drum; on such
occasion there is great excitement in
the community, a regular '.kaiak bee"
is held: even refreshments are not lack
ing, for the owner of the "kaiak'' treats
satisfactorily done.
The completed boat is triumph of
ingenuity and skill. 1t is about
eighteen feet long, sharply pointed at
each end. Its greatest depth is six
inches and its width about eighteen. 1t
is entirely covered, save for the little

He began by collecting birds eggs;
not from a childish desire to possess
pretty things, but for the purpose of
studying their forms, colors and mark
ings, and to note their variations. BY
and by, finding that the Connecticut
law interfered with his hobby, he
turned his attention to other states and
countries, and with such success that
he now has eggs from New York. Penn

ifornia, Canada, Africa and Australia.
These eggs vary in size from the pea

also has a nice collection of shells, and
many other interesting natural objects
such as paper hornets nests, starfish
and birds nests of various kinds.
After he had been collecting for
about year, some one brought him a
dead Savannah sparrow, thinking he
might be able to stuff it, Young Purdy
knew nothing of taxidermy, but he de-
termined to try. When the skin was
mounted it little resembled the bird
from which it had been taken; indeed
he was hardly sure whether it looked
most like a fish or a. quadruped He
was not to be daunted by a failure,
however, and, though he received rot a
little chaff on the subject of his new
and tried again. The second attempt
showed a decided improvement on the
first, and the third was better still.
When his parents saw that he not only
had a taste for the work, but that he
also had the perseverance necessary to
perfect himself in it, they engaged a
professional taxidermist to instruct him
thoroughly in the slSinning of birds. in
the preparation of skins, and the
fi1n.cr nf he -,
ably natural positions. He has proved
an apt pupil. Every bird he stuffs is
better in some respects than the one
before it, and with the amount of labor
he has already put behind him he bids
fair to become one of the leading tax
idermists of his day. He has mounted
hundreds of birds. amongst the bost of
which are blackbacked gull, gOsha wk
screech owl, black-crowned night heron
great blue heron, pigeon hawk, sharp
Skinned hawk, red-Shouldered hawk
osprey, barred owl, long-eared owl,
bluejay, cared grebe, red-winged black
bird, old squaw duck, shrike, spotted
Sandpiper, partridge and ruffied grouse.
His love for his subject and his con-
tinual observation of things out of
doors help him greatly in the work of
posing his specimens. And this Cbser-
walton of nature forms, perhaps the
most instructive and certainly the most
delightful part of his labor. 1t draws
him out into the fields and woods. be-
side the brooks and rivers, and along
the shores of Long Island sound, at all
seasons of the year, at all hours of the

ralist, and many bird is sent to him

and, before this was introduced, 1t was
a cup of cold water. The hunting
grounds may be many miles away, and
the journey back and forth may take
many hours, but not a bit of food do
they carry with them. Their only re-
freshment is bit of blubber from
each seal caught. The birds are
wounded and brought down with bird
darts Their necks are broken and
pushed under one of the ''kaiak'
thongs. The fish that are caught are
also disposed of in this way, or, If
small, placed in the under part. Very
large ones are taken in tow. Seals are
towed, too. being kept afloat by blad-
ders. Thus, after "a day of luck, hair
breadth escapes and thrilling adven-
lures, they return home with their frail
craft laden, to be greeted on the beach
by their women folk. who take pos

CLAYTON PURDY.
The Boy Naturalist and Expert Tax
idermist

There are few boys who. up TO the
age of 16, have done much towards
their life's work. beyond the ordinary
routine of home and school duties. If,
IN addition, boy has learned 10 swim,
can play creditable game of baseball,
and does not call forth more than an
average amount of abuse from the
neighbors, any reasonable parent will
be satisfied and might be pardoned for
feeling even proud of him.
The subject Of this article, Clayton
Purdy Of Stamford. Conn, is an inter-
esting exception. Though barely 16
years Of age, he has devoted himself to
the study of natural history for the
past four years, and that without neg
lecting his duties or sacrificing the
pleasures so dear to the heart of every
real boy He attends the Merrill col
lege, and stands well in his class: plays
short-stop cn the baseball team, goes
fishing, skates fairly and handles an ice
yacht like a veteran. But besides all
this, he has done more work in the
study of life out of doors than most
people do in their whole lives.
