How Arctic Highlanders Choose Their Wives.
Scribner's.

Scribner's.
1t was natural that those on the Wind
ward should be good seamstresses, since
they were the wives of picked hunters.
When Smith Sound Esquimau chooses
wife be apparently has regard only to
housewifely qualities. She must be able
to do the cooking, and to sew, and to chew
hides. This last is sine qua non. Furs
are the only possible dress, and Of these
they must have an abundance, else they
will perish with cold. When the sun is
above the horizon, the women spread the
skins of seal, and reindeer, and bear, peg
ging them out hide up, and allow them
to dry thoroughly. Once dry, they are,
of course, as stiff as boards, and before
they can be made into garments the tibres
must be broken. Accordingly the women
bend the hide double, making a crease
through its length. Beginning, then, at
Then, creasing the hide little farther on,
they chew again, and repeat the simple
process until every inch of the surface has
been chcwed, and, with fbres broken, the
skin is flexible enough to be sewed into
garments. A coed cook and seamstress
and chewer of hides is certain of good
husband for she will be taken to wife by
one of the best of the young hunters, who
is, therefore, good prOvider. There Is
no ceremony of marriage, the hunter TAX
ing his bride from her fathers tupik or
igdlu (also spelt egloo; winter house, to
his own; nor, so far as we learned, is
there among them ceremony Of any kind,
no formal worship, nor any rites, unless
the incarnation of the angekoks (medi-
cine men) be given rank as q rite.

THE DYING CALIFORNIAN;
Or, The Brothers Request.
published by reQuest.)

Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence Seemeth dearer
When thy arms around me fold;
/ am dying, brother, dying,
Soon you'll miss me from your berth;
For my form will soon be lying
Meath the oceans briny surf.
Harken to me, brother, harken-
l have something I would say.
Ere the vale my vision dafken
And 1 go from home away.
l am going-surely going
But my hope in God Is strong;
am dying, brother, dying
But He doeth nothing wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him
That in death I prayed for him
Prayed that 1 might some day meet him
In world that's free from sin.
Tell my mother-God assist her,
Now that she Is growing old
That her child would glad have kissed her
When his lips grew pale and cold.
Tell her she must kiss my children
Like the kiss last impressed;
Hold them, as when last l held them,
Folded closely to my breast;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trust in God;
And He never will forsake her,
For He saith so in His Word.
Tell my sister remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender
By the thoughts their memory stirred;
Tell her / never reached the haven
Where sought the precious dust,
But l have gained part called Heaven,
Where the gold can never rust.
Listen, brother, catch each whisper
IT'S my wife I'd speak Of now;
Tell, oh, tell her how l missed her

The works surrounding the city were of
the most formidable character being a
complete succession and Gordon of forts,
each calculated to defend the other. That
the retreat of Lees army was of the great
est precipitation was well shown by the
fact that their tents were all, or nearly
all, left behind, and not gun was taken
from the Notifications. But few, if any,
of these guns-which were very heavy
ones-were spiked. Lack of Transports
ton and opportunity seemed to have been
the great trouble with Gen. Lee.
The inhabitants informed us that JEFF.
Davis did not leave the city till Sunday
night. While in attendance at church
dispatch was received from Gen. Lee stat
ing that all was lost. He thereupon made
hasty preparations to bid adieu to the city
wherein he had been so long regarded as
the sovereign power of the Secession
cause. Mrs. Davis, We were told, took her
departure several days before.

GOVERNMENT wHITEwAsH.

Stake a half-bushel of lime in boiling
water, keeping it covered during process;
strain it, add one peck of salt dissolved in
warm water, three pounds ground rice
boiled to a thin paste, half-pound Spanish
whiting powdered, one pound clear glue
dissolved in warm water. Mix well.
In preparing the Government white
wash, use as much water as will fill an
lime. Make box and cover, with a crack
about two inches wide, so a hoe handle
can be admitted for stirring while slak-
ing, and pour the water through the crack;
stir until boiling stops, then strain, and
add other ingredients.
This wash should stand at least three
days before using, and will cover about
200 square feet of brickwork or old weaih
er-beaten boards one coat, and about 80
feet Of new lumber; planned lumber, two
coats. 1t should be of the consistency of
paint. 1t will not wash off by rain, and
the lighthouses and Notifications at Bal
timorc, Md, attest its durability.
1t may be colored by using anything
that will not be overcome by lime. Fresh
cow-manure and blue vitriol sufficient to
make it green will, when dry, be q fine
fast yellow. There is nothing that is bet
ter than this for use on barns, fences,
roofs, etc. Moss will not grow upon the
whitewash in California, if left uncolored.
To obtain blue use ultramarinc dry;
gray, use blue-black. Other colOrs may be
obtained by blending the above. No 9th
er colors should be used, as they tend to
destroy the lasting qualities of the white
wash.

OTHER RECIPES.

Whitewash that will not rub off and
that may be applied to smoky walls is
made by adding to s gallons of ordinary
whitewash / quart Of pure New Orleans
molasses. Be sure the genuine New Or
leans molasscs is used, or results will not
be satisfactory.
Ordinary whitewash is made as fol-
lows: Stake 1 peck Of lime in sufficient
water; strain through ordinary meal sieve;
add l IA pounds alum dissolved previously
quart starch boiled to thin paste. Apply
cold, two thin coats.
The following recipe is used by the
United States Government for light
houses, and effectually prevents moisture
striking through:
Take of fresh Rosendale cement 3 parts
and Of clean, fine, sifted sand l part; mix
with soluble glass (silicate of Soda thor
oughly. This gives gray or granite col
or, dark or light, according to the color of
cement. If brick color is desired, add
enough dry Venetian red to the mixture to
produce the color. If very light color
is desired, lime may be mixed with the
cement and sand. Care must be taken
to have all the ingredients well mixed to-
gether. In applying the wash the wall
must be wet with clean fresh water, then
followed Immediately with the cement
wash. This prevents the bricks from alb
| sorbing the water too rapidly and gives
the cement time to set. The wash must
be well stirred during the application
The mixture is to be made as thick as can
be applied conveniently with white,
wash brush. II the silicate of soda is toe
| thick to admit Of mixing, reduce to prop
er consistency with water. This is ad
mirably suited to brick or stonework, but
cannot be used to advantage over paint
| or old whitewash.
| The following preparation is used by the
| German Government and is waterproof
| Mix 6 litres of lime slaked to dust and
well sifted; l ltrs of cooking salt; litres
of water. Heat to boil and carefully re
move the foam. Into the mixture stir 25C
grammes Of alum, 100 grammes powdered
green vitriol, $50 grammes potash, and

Darius White, Dead.

On Monday at $3.50 o'clock the
spirit Of Darius White left its tene-
ment of clay and he passed to the
shores of eternity.
Mr.. White was one of the land
marks OF Logan and Hooking Co.
He was born In this county In 1922
in Perry Township; received a COM
mon School education and taught
school IN his early life. From 1845
to 1861 he was Deputy Auditor Of
this County; later was teller four
years in the State Bank Of Logan
and also served for many years as
Clerk Of Logan and one term as
Mayor. Iu 1867 he Incorporated the
present Logan Manufacturing Com
pany under the name OF Houston,
Kreig g. Co., Mr.. White being made
the secretary of the company. In
after years he bought out the stock
holders and at his death was owner
Of this large factory.
In the past several years he has
been confined at his home by reason
Of Affections attendant on old age,
and his sons John f. White and w.
H. White have operated the manu-
factury.
Uncle Darius White has been re-
markable character in Logan, in
fact fixture, without which the
town would have many times been
dull and sluggish. He was an ar.
dent spirit for the advancement and
up-building Of our city. Always in
good humor, always at peace with
his neighbor, and happy in compro-
mise RI ther than at varience with
anybody. He may have had his
faults, who has not. But he was
one of the business land marks Of
Logan that the town should be
proud of. He would operate his
plant in season and ont of season,
and never squirmed at the loss of a
dollar. He had adversities as all
men have, but his family never
heard his tale of woe for he had
none, neither did the neighbor upon
the street catch glimpse Of adverse
frowns. He was always the same
jovial, genial, cheerful gentleman.
Humming a little lullaby about his
work, ready to joke, and laugh with
the passer.
In his declining years he was as a
contented child about his home. No
care, no trouble to those about him.
Never had a complaint, but sat
quietly in calm good humor waiting
for the last summons to bear him to
eternity. Like a sturdy oak that
had it's place as monument to the
surrounding country, he has aged
and fallen. and another pioneer has
passed out. Peace to his ashes.
Darius White was married In 1916
to Hester A. McBroom, and his
widow with nine children survives
him,
