Origin Of a Bucket Shop .

The name is said to have orig
mated in Chicago, when legitimate
brokers would not handle an order
for less than 5000 bushels, and a
lot of places sprang up where men
of small means could speculate on
triflng capital as small as 81
and these spectators were spoken
of contemptuously as buying and
selling wheat by the bucket full.
The term was eventually applied
to all brokerage In stocks and grain
when the amounts dealt In were
smaller than legitimate dealers or
brokers would handle, and more
particularly to places where there
were really no legitimate transac-
tiops, but where the proprietor and
customer simply bet on the market,
the proprietor allowing the custom
err to take either end of the bet In
consideration of commission,
u hich In reality Is his percentage
in the game.

FOUND LOST TRIBE.
Sixteen Esquimaux Discovered on q
Hudson Bay Island.

There has been discovered upon one of
the islands of Hudson bay the remnant
of a lost tribe of Esquimaux, commu-
nifty which has been for centuries with
out intercourse with any other represen-
tatives of the human species, and whose
members never, until quite recently, had
an opportunity of seeing white man.
The facts of the discovery are well
established, having been reported to the
federal authorities at Ottawa by the
Rev A. w. auckland. Mr.. Buckland
says that these strange people still viz
.ually live in the stone age, knowing no
metals. Their habitations are built en-
tirely of the skulls of whales.
The home of the tribe is upon South
amptOn island. a piece of water CIR |
land nearly as large as the state of
Maine, lying at the extreme north end OF
Hudson bay. These people or their an
ceStOrS have undoubtedly inhabited tie
island ever since Dre-COlumbian days.
and at the present time they exist ex-
actly as they must have done then.
Having been isolated for so long a pc
riod, it is natural that they should DOS

able collection of their utensils. weaD-
ons of the chase and other objects was
secured by Mr.. auckland, but, to the
great regret of the Canadian authori-
ties. it was allowed by him to pass into
the hands of private persons.
The huts on the island are built by
putting together the great jaws o.
whales and then covering them with
skins. In the middle of the primitive
dwellings is a slight elevation. on which
stands the stone lamp, employed for
lighting. heating, cooking and melting
snow and drying clothes. This lamp
is nothing more than open dish OF
whale oil. with a wick Of dry moss
soaked in fat.
The whale is the chief means of sub
sistence of these poor people They use
the bone for many purposes, making
plates. and cups and toboggan-lilSe
sleds. They also manufacture sledges
of swal-us tusks. with deer antlers for
erossDieces. The members speak dia-
lect peculiar to themselves. and they
are the most daring of hunters. Not
more than sixteen members of the tribe
now survive.

Secretary Root in his annual report
joins with Vermont in movement to-
ward a return to the legahzed saloon.
He says: I am convinced that the
general effect of prohibiting the use of
beer and light wines within the limited
area of the army post is to lead the en-
listed men to go out of the posts, to
frequent vile resorts which cluster in
the neighborhood, to drink bad whisky
to excess, and to associate intimately
with abandoned men and more aban-
doned women; and that the operation
of the law is to increase drunkenness,
disease, INSTRUMENTATION and desertion,
and moral and physical degeneration"
He challenges congress to take issue
with him on this subject by offering to
submit documents in support of his
position 1t looks now as though it Is
up to the w. c. T. U. to take some ac-
ton looking to the refutation of the
