BURIAL In LABRADOR
PECULIAR CUSTOMS DATE FROM
CENTURIES AGO. 4
Males Always Buried with instruments
of the Chase in Their cairns--Worn~
out Razors Put TO Strange Use by
the Survivors.

Labrador's dreary waste is peopleds
generally speaking, by few scattered
tribes Of Montagnais Indians, while it's
seaboard in the. north is occupied by
about 5000 Eskimos Each race has
its peculiar burial customs, interesting
if awesome. When a member OF a
community dies the Eskimos carry
the body to the top of hill near their
settlement and there lay it, in sitting
posture, on the surface of the hard,
f1inty ground. Heavy stones are piled
about it in the form of a cairn, com.
pletely covering is SO that the wolves
and bears may be unable to disturb the
body. The male is buried with his
weapons of the chase and the female
with her domestic implements. After
years, when the action of summer suns
and winter SHOWS has broken down
the mount of stones, it is not uncom,
mon for other natives to- help Them
selves to the stone lamps, flint and
ivory arrow and lance heads and other
articles Of value to them which are
found lying beside the bodies. But
in every case some substitute, even il
less valuable, is placed there instead
Of what has been removed.
It is the idea of the pagan Eskimos
that though the spirit of the dead per
son has reached the other world and
no longer needs the articles, the ghosts
who attended on him in life have to
be propitiated by keeping up the mum.
Der of articles originally placed In
the grave, even if the material OF
these is deported from. The Moravian
missionaries humor the natives whom
they have Christianized by practicing
this habit of substitution, and favor
able article to place in the graves is
a rusty razor Many years ago some
admirer of the mission sent out an
enormous quantity of razors in the
belief that they were in general use.
But the last thing one would contem'
plate doing on this coast in winter
would be to use a razor. AS no other
use could be found for the razorS they
have been devoted to this peculiar pur.
pose, and so it is common to see in
every Eskimo grave that has been
opened an appliance which no old-time
Eskimo ever heard of.
These curious customs are trans"
mitted from people to people. The
Montagnais Indians have a somewhat
similar practice. They bury their dead
in a box or coffin made out of bark, and
in this are placed loaded gun, horn
of powder, a bag of shot, a pouch OF
tobacco, a flint and steel for striking
fire, an AK and a pair of snowshoeS.
The burial place is likewise hilltop.
as it is impossible to dig underground
in Labrador for eight months OF the
year, and stones are also used to
cover the coffin. But they are SO ar
ranged that some can be removed after
ten days when the relatives return and
take out these valuable articles. 1t is
held that by that time the dead one
has reached the happy hunting grounds
and has no further use for them. But
even they, too, substitute wooden
sticks for the gun, ak and snowshoes,
and skins for other articles.

COURTESY to Children.

Parents are never too old to learn
Courtesy from a child is expected; but
in too many cases no thought is given
to the duty of returning the compli-
ment Even the spoiled darling Of the
most indulgent mother is at times
made the butt of her irritability OF
temper, or the victim Of a sudden
whim for discipline exhibited in pub"
lie that shocks his sensibilities cruelty
says the London Mail. The wrong
way to demonstrate is to use rough
loud tones and sharp criticisms. The
firm voice that is absolutely under
control only should give orders and
correct faults in the nursery. And it
should be in the nursery, or, better
still, in the mothers own room, that
fault finding should take place. To
hurt a cslild's sensibilities by correct
ting it, either by word or deed, before
a stranger is a great act Of unhnd.
ness on the part of the parent or
nurse. A certain father, Of uncertain
temper and intensity Of speech, whom
I know, unable at all times to keep
a watch upon his tongue, refrains from
visiting the nursery when his anger
runs high, thereby setting himself
penance, for fear worse befall, that
other fathers might follow.

Efficacy Plus Prayer.

Ethel, one Of New Hampshire's sew
en-year-old daughters, is devoted to
the birds. She was enraged at her
older brother, whose keenest enjoy
ment seemed to be to trap them. She
pleaded with him and scolded him, but
all to no effect. So Ethel took a new
tack.
When prayer time came the other
evening the mother heard this final
petition added to those which dealt
directly with the spiritual and mate

God, please smash all Willie's nasty
traps, for Jesus sake. Amen"

NEW ENGLAND CONSCIENCE.
The Scruple That Prevented Young
Widows Remarriage.


Widows Remarriage.
Said a drummer visitor Miss M. E..
Boyd to young widow-a seam
stresS--in a New Hampshire hill town,
one day last summer: ''You must be
lonely here now since your husband
died. Perhaps you will feel like mar
rying again; you are not so very old. .
ooh, Miss Mary" she answered in a
voice full of feeling, eff 1 only could
if I only dared!" And then came the
simple story and a touching example
of ''the New England conscience"
She had loved in early youth a young
man whom her mother disapproved as
a sutton. He was joiner by trade
and worthy, but the mother, having
higher ambitions, separated the cou-
pie. The girl married quiet man,
her senior, who died few years later
Then, after a decent interval, the old
lover, who had thriven in business,
asked her again to become his wife.
That seemed a beautiful and natural
ending of the story. But no. "Ah!',
cried the poor thing. eff / had loved
my husband I could go to James with
a happy heart-oh, how happy! But
although things were pleasant enough
between my husband and me, I always
felt the difference and at heart | was
unfaithful to him. I think this is
meant for my punishment for think
ing of James while I had a husband
living. We can never marry. Buff

AS an illustration Of the enthusiasm
with which golf is pursued by its vo-

of a well-known Scotch author and a
young friend of his: The two had

had some close and exciting matches.
AS they left for home the elder man
remarked:

POOR FARMER BOY

Stuart, la. March 15.-The relatives OF
Ernest Montgomery, who grew 10 man
hood on a farm near here. have been
advised that he has sold his Death Valley
mine. the Montgomery and Shushan, FOR
$1,000. 600.
Indirectly Montgomery owed his for
tune to a calamity, the drowning OF his
father i'm Middle river 20 years ago. The
young man was compelled TO strike out
for himself.
Though penniless, he determined TO
make FOR the gold fields. and spent five
years in Idaho prospecting. during which
time he made barely enough 10 support
himself.
Then he went down into the mining re-
gions OF Nevada. Arizona and New
Mexico. and for II more years searched
In vain for the mine to make him rich.
At last, two or three years ego, he
and a partner named Shushan struck n
lead in Death Valley and started a small
camp. Montgomery bought his partners
interest and now he retlres from the
mining business with the $o.ooo0O he re-
c.ived for the property.
