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

II might be supposed thai the Esk
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 curse of which huge and 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 noon and various Arctic
animals, and 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 q
rugged resemblance of the object or
animal represented, but with a 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 a human lace
beneath.

RELATIVE WOUNDED
AT o KILLING.

Mrs. Amos Tefft, writing to relatives

says that the young man Guy Ander-

of the killing of Attorney Moody a few
weeks ago, was a nephew of her hus-
band. Young Anderson and others

of the shooting and FASTENED to the

TASTE DISHES OF ROYALTY.
Peculiar Position That is Not BY Any
Means a Snap"


We remember being much struck.
says the Onlooker, the first time that
We dined in public with an Archbishop
by the fact that he had a turnkey be-
hind his chair who handed him all the
dishes. We were told 1t dated from
Tudor times, when John Cook poisoned
his lord and master, the Bishop of
Rochester, and was condemned t be
boiled alive, in order to repress these
foreign modes of slaughter. The Shah,
too, keeps his faster, whose life prob
ably hangs by a thread. In European
travel his fate is not so dire, but he
probably requires a certain gastric
strength. The other day at Centrex-
vile, where the Light of Persia takes
his cure, a bottle of Worcester sauce
was put on the table, and the taster-in-
ordinary vas made to swallow half a
tumbler to see if it was good.

A Weston Opinion

- 'NSAS'' OP'''S'
Converse county republicans held
their county convention to select dele
gates to the state convention last Sat
urday and selected a Brooks delegation
by a large majority, though a strong
effort was made to select a delegation
favorable to William Irvine. The re-
suit probably will cause Irvine to with
draw. as he had claimed Converse as
his home county. 1t also shows the
popularity of Governor Brooks and the
confidence of the people in him as an
able administrator of state affairs.
Everything now points to the renom.
nation of Governor Brooks by a ma
jority as decisive as was the action of
Converse county.-Newcastle News,
