Frozen Weeds, Seal Oil, Walrus Meat,
Hide and Hair.

From the Youths Companion
This is the way an Eskimo lady sits
at the head of her table and dispenses
hospitality, and these are the delicate
items in her bill of fare. They were
tested at first hand by w. II. Glider,
when, in crossing Siberia, at the north,
he had to accept native customs with
what grace he might
No matter how early you may awak-
en- in the morning, you will always
find the mistress of the house already
up--that is, her position has changed
from reclining to sitting. But as soon
as she observes that you are really
awake she hands you small piece of
meat to steady your nerves until
breakfast time.
Then she goes into the next apart
ment, which is merely an inclosure for
keeping the dogs away from the stores
and after fifteen minutes of pounding
and chopping returns with the break
fast.
A large fiat wooden tray is placed
on the floor, and the landlady takes
her position at one end in the attitude
elegantly described as squatting. The
family and their guests gather around
the board on either side, lying fiat on
their stomachs, with their heads to-
ward the breakfast and their feet out.
The first course is some frozen weeds
mixed with seal oil and eaten with
small portions of fresh blubber, which
the lady of the house cuts with large
chopping nife.
The next course is walrus meat This
is also cut up by the presiding lady,
and is served with no unstinting hand.
At this portion of the meal the one
who can swallow the largest piece
without chewing has the advantage,
and the only way to get even with
him is to keep one piece in your mouth
and two in your hand.
After this Joint has been thoroughly
discussed there comes a large piece
of walrus hide, which has a small por-
ton of blubher attached, and the hair
still on the outside, 1t is about an
inch thick and very tough, so that it
is impossible to affect ii by chewing.
II is therefore cut into very small
pieces by the hostess, and finishes the
meal Really, it is the most palatable
dish of all

VIEWS OF LONDON NEWSPAPERS ON THE

London Sept o7-sir Thomas Upton this

ica's Cup. The afternoon newspapers similarly
derive great comfort from the stories of yester-
days contest. AS The ST. James's Gazette"
points out in spite of all suggestions that the
conditions prevent accurate Judgment Of the
comparative merits of the two yachts the plain
fact stands out that under condition of wealth
er which was the same TO both the American
boat got good bit nearer the winning line than
own"
The Pail Mall Gazette" is practically alone in
thinking that the American experts are easily
satisfied if they already convinced that the
Columbia is the better boat The papers COM
ment is probably based on the conclusion of it's
own correspondents long account of the race.
which begins. The Columbia did much to shat
ter the Upton hope yesterday" and concludes
as follows: The days sailing did nothing to
suggest that the Shamrock will not win in a
good breeze. 1 think she will"
The Saturday Review is the only weekly
which deals with the yacht races. Its comment
consists of two caustic columns headed Sport
or Snobbery." deciding that the races partake
more of the latter than of the former. The pa
per concludes:
Yacht racing is, was real national
sport as any. The greater pity, therefore. to
foist upon II this load of snObbish vulgarities.
THE Field" which thinks that past expert
ence should have taught the advisability at this
time of the year of starting the races earlier in
the day as to minimize the chances of
breeze falling off, says:

BIG OIL FIELD IN WYOMING.
LARGE AREA SUSPENDED FROM AGRICULT-
URAL ENTRY, THAT 1T MAY BE
PROPERLY DEVELOPED.

Washington, Sept, 21.-An immense area in
Wyoming is involved in decision given to-
day by Assistant Commissioner Richards. of
the General Land Office. on recommendations
for the suspension from agricultural entry Of
153 townships in the Douglas land district, addi-
tionaI to twenty-four townships suspended by
the commissioner November 10 1900 The
decision relieves from the suspension four of the
townships suspended November 10. 1900:
suspends forty townships from agricultural
entry, and denies requests of petitioners for the
suspension of the remaining townships
The forty-two townships now suspended ag
gregate 967 $50 acres. These townships" ac-
cording to the decision, appear to contain oil
in paying quantities. or such evidences of the
existence OF oil as would justify their suspen-
sion from present disposition under the agri-
cultural land laws. that opportunity may be
given to develop them as mineral
