STRANGE TRIBE oF ESKIMO.
Just Discovered on a Large Island Ii

Just Discovered on a Large Island In
HudsOn's Bay.
On a big island in Hudson's Bay a
hitherto unknown tribe Of Eskin,o has
been found. Whalers discovered them,
and the authorities at the American
Museum Of Natural History, hearing
the news, sent Capt. G. Cromer to in
vestigate them. How well his work
has been done is evidenced by the glass
cases now at the museum in New York
city, filed with the strongest exhibit
that ever came even from the strange
north land. Until the last few months
these people had never seen a white
man. They inhabit Southampton is
land, which is almost as large as the
state Of Maine. 1t is at the north
western end Of Hudson's Bay. For
centuries this tribe has not had the
slightest communication with other
Eskimo. When discovered they were
still living Ia the stone age, and knew
no metals until they were introduced
within q yea waiting whalors, ana
to-day they live just as they did when
they FIRST emigrated-from no q
knows where. Their residence, prob
ably, a~ntedates the discovery Of Amer
lea by Columbus. They speak a dia-
lect different from that Of any other
known tribe. Their huts are built Of
the skulls and jaws Of whales, covered
with skins Of animals. Snow huts are
the fashion among other Eskimo. In
the middle Of their primitive dwelling
stands the stone lamp (raised a little
from the ground) which lights the
home, heats it, cooks the food, serves
for melting snow, drying clothes and
the perfecting OF some Of their Weap-
ons and implements. Among the
Greenland Eskimo this lamp is hol-
lowed out Of soapstone, but on South
ampton island the lamp is made Of a
fiat piece Of limestone, around the
edge Of which narrow pieces Of lime
stone are glued. Their pots are made
OF the same material, one slab serving
as the bottom and four others for the
ends and sides OF the queerest pot ever
made. The glue is made Of deer's blood,
grease and fish roe. One glance at
the inside OF one Of these pots, lined
with this pitchy mass, is enough to
take away a white mans appetite for
a week.-Boston Globe.

MEMS MEANNEss

Crops Out When They Occupy the Same
Steamer stateroom.
There's n place above all others
where a nan exhibits his meanness,"
said the traveller, and that's aboard
an ocean liner and toward the man
who is obliged to occupy the same
staterOom with him. You are mad to
begin with that you have to bunk in
with somebody. II he gets the lower
berth he's done you a mortal injury.
II he's seasick you have a contempt for
him If he is not, you are a bit envious.
I've crossed the Atlantic nine times
and always shared a staterOOm, and [
was never more than on speaking
terms with my roommate. You can be
all right toward everybody else aboard,
but he's your enemy. The case is
worse when it's a pair Of old travellers,
as each Is posted as to his rights and
privileges, and is jealous in enforcing
them. When I crossed to London last
year I had a Chicago man for a chum.
No doubt he was an all round good fell
low, but 1t was his sixth or seventh
trip, and he'd got posted as to when
and how to exhibit his meanness. 1
found him in the stateroom when 1
came aboard. We recognized each
other as veterans, but a few words
must be uttered for decency's sake.
Names Jones, says /, as / chucked
away my steamer trunk. Names
Brown says he, as he hanged on his
hat. We didn't speak again for four
days. Then we got a heavy gale and
a big sea, and as 1 was lying in my
bunk be came in for some cigars and
growled: Got it?' No; have your
No. Hoped you had!' 'Ditto!' An
hour before we landed I handed him a
paper on which was written down my
own feelings concerning him. 1 called
him a crank, a curmudgeon, a beast,
a heather, and lots Of other things,
and expressed the fervent hope that it
might never occur that the same hotel
would give us both shelter in Europe.
AS 1 handed out my paper he extended
one. He had written down his feel
ings toward me, and l pledge you my
word if the two papers weren't alike to
a word! / met him in Paris six weeks
later on, and we rushed to greet each
other like old friends, and for two
weeks we walked about like two broth
ers, and we're grieved when the part
ing came. fFhat was on land, you know
and we weren't bunkmates. I'm go
ing over again next month, but I'm
making no promises of better behav-
Tor. Whether my roommate Is a min
lister from Boston or a cattle raiser
from Arizona l shall probably do all
can to make his position uncomfort-
able, and I am sure he will do as much
for me. "-Washington Post.

with Her Camera Dehed the Sultan Rzs
His Soldiers.
Constantinople Cor. Chicago Record:
The other day a pretty American girl.
smartly dressed, and smart enough to
boot, arrived in C%onstantinople on
board the Augusta Victoria. She had
not been long in the city before she
did that for which many a dutiful sub
ject Of the sublime porte has lost his
head in times not far past. Like other
visitors, she went to see the sultan go
to worship in the mosque n Friday.
Finding that from her carriage she
could obtain but a poor glimpse Of the
procession, she promptly climbed a
tree, and thence obtained an excellent
set Of Views of the proceedings. Her
camera came into use, and the result
was an excellent set of views Of the
mosque and the sultan riding up to
the great door. shes was Immediately
spotted by a policeman on the lookout
for such deadly weapons as cameras.
He Immediately ordered her down, ex-
planning that tree-climbing and Gamer
as are 'yassak." AS this dreadful word
seemed to have no effect on the young
lady the policeman tried to explain
and the crowd tried to help him. In
the middle Of the dispute the sultan
rode up along with his brilliant stan
and 5000 picked soldiers. After fruit
less exp~ostulation the glittering mon
arch and his discounted soldiers rode
away, swearing by the prophet that
the American girl must be an emissary
Of Eblis. It is not often that the sui
tan is thwarted In this manner.

After 600 years Dante's reputation
stands unchallenged. He is a classic,
and yet to him the witticism which
was a prophecy Of Voltaire has been
absolutely falsihed. "Sa reputation
s'ahermira t%oujours, parce qu'on ne
Ira guere." During the present CEN
fury his cult has had a revival unex-
ampled in the annals Of literature,
Texts and commentaries have poured
from the press In bewildering volume.
Every day adds to the force OF Saint
Beuve's saying that ITO read Dante Is
to want to translate him." There is
much in all this that is fantastieal,
ridiculous, affected and ~wearisome but
beneath the frothy surface flows the
calm and steady devotion Of number
less silent w%orshipers. Nor Is the
DIVA Commedia" a book only for
scholars and enthusiasts, poetical and
religious. Dante was a man OF the
world; he had presided over the des-
tinies Of a state; he had studied pro-
foundly the motives that influence men
IN their public action, and be sat IN
Judgment like a Rhadamanthus. And
thus the "Divina Commedia" a a
school for statesmen and a p~eniten-
tlary for poiiueians.-saturday Re-

Here Is a story from the New York
Telegraph: "a few years ago." said
Harry Cunningham Of Montana, "the
late Charlie ~Broadwater Of our state
gave a banquet to about a score OF
his personal friends. II was an elRb-
crate spread and one Of the chief items
was some 2~O-year-old brandy that cost
Mr.. BroadWater a fabulous price and
regarding which he spoke with much
enthusiasm. At tho wiud-up Of the
feast coffee and Roquefort cheese were
brought in, though the latter was not
commonly down on Montana menus at
that period. Sitting near the host vas
one OF his special friends, who, after
cycling the Roquefort a tribe suspio-
iously, tasted It, made a wry face and
showed his plate to one side. You
don't seem to like that, remarked Mr..
Broadwater. Indeed, / do rot, Char
lie. Your 2O-year-old brandy Is all
right, but I'll be hanged II / like your

with him. She had her eyes fixed on
the floor, 80 he did not see the smile

sure Of her answer that while she felt
he deserved a refusal, yet she felt a
little sorry for him. He was distinctly
good to look at, bright and clever as
possible, irreproachable in family and
position, the only child, and his moth
