Fruit Salad.

Bananas and oranges always blend
deliciously for either a fruit salad, for
breakfast fruit, or for fruit des-
sert. Cut the bananas and the oran.
ges into cubes, arrange in layers in a
fruit dish, and then over ell place a
layer OF stiffiy beaten cream, which
has been favored and tinted delicate
pink by adding a few drops OF straw
berry extract. If for a fruit dessert,
or salad, white grapes may he opened,
the stones removed, and the fruit
placed here and there among the ba-
nanas and oranges. When served as
a salad, always pour over the fruit a
fruit mayonnaise, instead of the
whipped cream, and serve with plain
unsweetened rolls instead of with
cakes or sweet waters as in the case
of fruit dessert.

Last Resort of the Wild.

As to hunting and fishing, these
Hudson Bay railroads will open up
the chief game resort of the world.
The fur wealth is SO great that the
Eskimos bring in several hundred
skins OF musk oxen every season in
addition 10 bales of polar bear skins,
caribou, wolves and foxes. Some OF
the finest furs Of the world may be
seen stacked up like hay on the shcre
of Hudson Bav, awaiting transporta-
tion to the trading posts. In one To-
cality about the bay the Esklmos
trapped in one year more than thou
sand white foxes, besides wolves,
wolverines and other animals.
At present most Of the hunting IS
being done by Eslimos, and Indians,
who make IL life business. These
Eskimos are much like our natives OF
Alaska. The men average about five
feet three inches high and the women
less than five feet. They have black
eyes ard hair, and their hair is
straight and as coarse as horse hair.
They have fat ncses, high cheek
bones and eyes which are Chinese
in shape. The teeth of the older wo-
men are worn almost to the gums
from caewing scalskin, Ia order to
make Ii soft and more easily sewn.
These people live in snow houses
during the winter and in sealskin
tents in the summer. They subsist
largely on seal meat or whale b]ubber
AID their fires are oil lamps. They
have but few domestic animals e&-
cept dogs; although 1t is said that
here and there a moose has been
harncssed up and made to work.
