Butter in Shape of Sausages.

A Minnesota creameryman has in
vented a new way of packing butter for
private customers. He makes special
p~arafine cloth bags holding one, two,
three and ive-pound lots of butter, and
has invented a machine which will
stuff and seal these bags quickly and
inexpensively. These make air-tight
packages. keeping the butter pure and
proof against moisture and odors. 1t
is said that this scheme has proven
quite successful. 1t was invented
about year ago. and butter packed in
this way went through the cold storage
season last year in fine condition. The
first experiment was In the line of
packing butter in sausage castings. but
these were abandoned.

RITUAL OF THE ESKIMO.
Elaborate Ceremonies Held at the Re-
turn of the Sun.

Elaborate Ceremonies Held at the Re-
turn Of the Sun.
It might be supposed that the Eski-
mo were too much occupied in fortify-
ing themselves against hunger and
cold to indulge in religious rites and
ceremonies. An explorer in Arctic
Alaska, however, reports that the ma
tives have quite an elaborate ritual,
in the course of which huge aud gro
tesque masks are used. Their princi-
pal festival is held at Easter, when
they celebrate the return of the sun.
Eskimo, dressed in appropriate cos
tunes and wearing masks, personate
the sun, the moon and various Arctic
animals, sAd there is much chanting
and dancing. Some of the masks are
SO heavy that they have to be suspend
ed from the roof of the house in which
the ceremonies are held, the actors
simply standing behind them and wag
ging them from side to side. All the
masks are carved not only with a
rugged resemblance of the object or
animal represented, but with hideous
human face designed to represent its
ghost This is due to the Eskimo be-
lief that every animal and thing has a
spirit. of human form and features. In
some cases the mask is made to open
by means of hinged doors, showing an
other mask formed like human face
beneath.
