leave the body of the animal for a
time, and may appear in it's semi
human aspect to the eyes of men.
The idea is expressed by some of
the ceremonial masks, which have
double faces, a wooden muzzle being
fastened with pegs in such a way as
to be removable, to show a human
like face beneath. The same effect
is obtained by small hinged doors,
which open outward disclosing the
human-like face, which represents the
ghost.

Didn't Care to Trv It.

MIR. Francis Tabor, who IS director
for several boys clubs in New York
city, always has fund of interesting
anecdotes on hand, many of which are
actual experiences in his daily life. The
boys will enjoy this amusing expert
| ence.
One night at his club a young man
lounged in with his hands in his pock-
cts and an ugly look on his face He
happened into the checker room. and
sat down.
They began game and the visitor
failed to get a king. Within an hour
he was beaten ten games. 1t went on
this way for three nights without the
stranger winning single game. Final
ly ne turned to the club member and
| asked:
Say, do you know the superintend-
I ent of this c1ub?"
WHY"
"Oh, nawthin, only I'm a-soin' to
lick him. I've licked every superin-
tendent this club has ever had and I
don't intend to break my rule now.
See?"
We'll, you've got to fight better
than you play checkers if you lick the
superintendent, and you'd BETTER be-
gin right off, because I'm the man
you're looking for.''
Il guess We'll break the rule this
time. If you. can fight as we'll as you
play checkers I'm not in your class" ,"
was the slow reply. :.

Mind Reading.

Any number of people can join in
mind reading, and the game is both
interesting and mystifying. A ring is
formed, all Joining hands, and there
must be two sitting next to each other
who know the secret of the game. Let
us call these two Alice and May. Alice,
who is introduced as professional
mind reader,,'' leaves the room, and
those remaining choose any word, a,
short one preferably. The object Of
the game is tor Alice, who is ignorant
of the word, to return and guess it!
and this may be done by a simple little
/ trick SO that II attracts no attention
whatever All are told to close their
eyes: and think hard OF the word
chosen. Then Alice IS called back and
sits down in the circle, taking, hold Of

Game for "shut-Ins."

Shut-ins or others will find no little
amusement in the game of Passing:
People," The players-one or more on
a side sit in a front window looking
out on the sidewalk at a time wheu
quite few people should be passing
by. The passing people are sort Of
animated playing cards. All persons;
going in one direction count for one
side; those going in the opposite di-
rection count for the opponents. The
winning score is so points.
A boy or girl counts two points. A
man or woman counts one each. A.
lame person adds five to the score. q
fat man counts Is, and red-haired
girl is good for 20 points. A short man
with taller woman going by together
is game.
Every dog passing by takes one from
the score; so that a man7tor woman
with a dog counts nothing.
A passing policeman gives you minus
five: man wearing silk hat counts
three. A nursemaid with child counts
five. Three men or three women pass<
Rg by together count minus three.

gbosts Of the slain animals continue
to inhabit these bladders, which, later
on, are taken to- a hole in the ice,
opened. and thrust into the water
under the ice, so that the ghosts may
return to their proper element. Thus
liberated, the ghosts swim far out to

Religious F'e,sfix,al
4I- 81" Arnohf tie Ecckinn o.c.

The Eskimo Easter Is a religious
festival, held, in honor of the return
of the sun to the north, and many
gods, both greater and lesser divini-
ties, take part in it, being represented
by person disguised in suitable Cos
tunes and wearing grotesque masks.
For weeks before the festival dedi-
Gated to the sun god, everybody is
busily engaged in making masks. The
Eskimos are born artists, and vie
with each other as to who shall pro-
duce the most grotesque faces. Some
Of the faces are exceedingly elabo-
rate, having attached to them small

painted red, white and black, and
some are as much, as four feet high,
while most Of them are decorated with
feathers, in addition to the; curious
images Of animals, etc, attached to
them with strings and pegs. Occa-
sional specimens are, excellent por-
traits Of individuals, the hkenesses
being SO good as to be recognizable.

regular intervals. These disks are
bubbles rising from the mouth OF
the seal, which is imagined to be un-
der water. Many such symbolic de-
vices are most ingenious, the rays Of
the sun, for example, being indicated
by feathers
All through Mexico and Central
America, in ancient times, the faces
of the dead were covered with masks
of clay or metal, some of them OF
beaten copper, and only half dozen
years ago dozens of skeletons wear
ing copper masks were dug out of a
group of burial mounds near Chilli
cothe, 0. In a prehistoric grave in
Peru a silver mask was found on the
head of a mummy. and in this case.
as we'll as in all others of the kind, a
species of deification of the defunct
was probably intended.
The Aleutian islanders bury their
dead with grOtesque wooden masks
over their faces, and the natives of the
Prince William Sound region follow
a like custom, their mortuary masks,
for some unexplained reason, having
usually one eye open and the other
indicated by a slit merely, SO as to
give the expression of a comical wink.
Some of the masks used in ceremoni-
ais by the Indians of Vancouver is

jaws in manner at once lifelike and

was minus the coin he.was exceed
