Eskimo Tastes.

There is certainly no accounting for
tastes, and surely the strangest is that
Of the Eskimos. Tallow is their candy.
1t is put up in bright red packages
made out of the feet Of waterfowl. The
women cut off the red feet Of this bird,
which is called the dovekie, draw out
the bones and blow up the skin so as to
make pouches. which they I'll with the
reindeer tallow for their little folk.
None of the food that the Eskimos
eat seems very inviting to us, but they
are extremely fond of 1t and are very
apt to overeat. 1t is said by explorers
who have gone into Greenland that II
is no uncommon sight TO see an Eskimo
man who has eaten an enormous meal
of the raw, frozen flesh Of the reindeer,
seal or walrus lying on his back and
eating blubber until he cannot move.

A Live Charm.

A young woman who thought she
was losing her husbands affection
went to seventh daughter of a sew
enth daughter for love powder. The
mystery woman told her:
"Get a raw piece Of beef, cut fat,
about an inch thick. Slice an onion In
two and rub the meat on both sides
with it. Put on pepper and salt and
toast it on each side over red coal
fire. Drop on it three Jumps of but
ter and two sprIgs of parsley and get
him to eat it,"
The young wife did so, and her hus-
band loved her ever after.

THE CAVE OF GHOSTS.
This Is One of the Wonder Places o
Sev south Wales.

4
Sew south Wales.
One Of the curiosities Of Oakley
creek, n. S. W., is a cave which very
few people care to enter. 1t is of the
usual order of stalNctite and stalag
mite shapes and figures. but in order
| to get inside it the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through a
narrow opening and grope his way in
the inky darkness for few yards till
he can stand erect and light torch.
As soon as he has done this he sees
family the weird shapes assumed by
the water dripping from the limestone
and he hears whirring noise. He
feels inclined TO make his exit at once,
but he hears something moving all
round him. and presently something
touches him.
He concludes that there are uncanny
spirits about. and this sensation is mul-
tiplied many times in intensity when
on turning TO retrace his steps he finds
himself confronted by a tall, ghostly
figure.
If the visitor has a strong nerve or
has been forewarned. which is not al
ways the case, he recognizes that the
ghostly figure is a senseless block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone,
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part of the cave which
no man has dared to explore. 1t Is
called the blowhole. One adventurous
visitor was about to squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when it
occurred to him to throw q stone
through. He did so, listening for the
stone to touch bottom. and the dull
sound that finally reached him con-
vinced him that there was a sheer
drop of 200 feet on tie other side Of
the blowhOle

PROFIT

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undevelOped, q
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
