Eskimo Seal Uuntinp.

Most savage and semi-civilized folk
are keen hunters. The Eskimo are bv
no means an uncivilized race, and tbey
show great skill in chasing the seal
Their method of drawing near to the
animal needs much patience and ia
really very firing. The hunter lies
down on his face or his side, and in
this position approaches the seal by a
series of jerks not unlike the move
ments made by the creature when on
land or ice. He may have to cover
hundreds of yards in this fatieuins
fashion, but he is so clever at 1t that
he can reach to within a few feet of
his victim without the cheat being de.
tected. An onlooker would then find
1t hard to say which was the man and
which the seal. Generally the silJv
seal comes to meet the man, and when
1t Is far enough out of its hole In the
Ice the hunter jumps up cuts off its
retreat and spears or clubs it. The
women, too, are very smart at this
kind Of hunting.

Cheap enameled saucepans which
have become Clipped inside should not
be employed for cooking. The glaze
which is frequently employed is
poisonous, and flakes Of it, which are
liable to come off with stirring and

the food and become a serious irri-

A Hint as to Tea.

Cups of strong brewed tea are not
to the taste Of the majority Of guests.
The old-fashioned practice Of making
tea in large silver urns is now quite
out of date. Tea in the smartest
houses is served from teapots and is
made almost every ten minutes during
the afternoon. This insures the tea
being good and palatable and to the
taste of the company. A rather strong
reaction has set in against putting
cream in tea and many prefer cold
milk to thick cream; therefore, this
preference should also be taken into
account or run Is made upon the hot
milk on the tables, which is not so
desirable. These hints, small as they
are, are worth hostess attention.

Artistic House Furnisbinps

Benares brass is the latest fancy for
hanging lamps, vases, jardinieres and
other decorative objects. 1t comes
either dull or bright, and is executed
in dainty traceries. At one of the
East Indian houses it was said that
the work is done by hand with fine
sharp instruments. A favorite use of
the Benares brass is its chandeliers.
Next to the light is a globe of colored
glass richly jcweled or of the irrides-
cent variety. Over that comes the out.
er globe of the brass. Then there are
tail vases of the dull brass with slen-
der necls and graceful bowls, and Jar
dinieres, which have dull gleam en-
riched by the etching. 1he bright
brass is used mainly for smaller arti-
cles. 1t contrasts nicely with other
kinds of bric-a-brac and looks especial
ly well against background of pure
white. Japanese bronze is another
fancy of the time. An endless variety
OF articles is made from this material.
particularly effective grouping of
art objects was seen the other day at
an Oriental house, where Il table filled
with the Japanese bronze was hanked
on one side by another covered with
the most beautiful Cloisonne, and on
the other by one filed with ROYAL
Worcester. The dark bronze made an
excellent setting of the soft tints of
