difference in Men of Wealth.

John Morgan Richards, perhaps the
best-known American resident OF Lon.
don, writes: Americans are not
richer than, nor nearly so rich as
wealthy man in England, nor are they
so numerous. If there is any differ.
ence between the two classes the
more prudent man is the Englishman,
because, as a rule, he limits his ex-
penditure to his means; while an
American does not hesitate to spend
his capital in order to carry out his
own wishes as to mode of living or to
accomplish what he and his family
may desire to carry out. An English
man. as a rule, with those with whom
he is intimate, will plainly make
known his circumstances in a perfect.
ly natural and honest way. oh, he
will say. Il have only got $500 ($2,-
500) a year But wild horses would
not drag out of an American any ad-
mission of that character. He would

BURIAL In LABRADOR
PECULIAR CUSTOMS DATE FROM
CENTURIES AGO.
Males Always Buried with In truments
Of the Chase in Their csirss--Worn-
out Rszors Put to Strange Use by
the Survivors.

I.abrador's dreary waste is peopled,
generally speaking, by few scattered
tribes OF Montagnais indians. while its
scaboard in the north is occupied by
about 5000 Eskimos. Each race has
its peculiar burial customs. interesting
II awesome. When member of
community dies the Esklmos carry
the body to the top of a hill near their
settlement and there lay II. in sitting
posture, on the surface of the hard,
flinty ground. Heavy stones are piled
about II in the form of 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, 1t 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.
1t 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 num-
ber of articles originally placed In
the grave, even II the material of
these Is deported from. The Moravian
missionaries humor the natives whom
they have Christianized by practicing
this habit of substitution, and a favor
able article to place in the graves is
a rusty razor. Many years ago some
admirer of the mislion 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 Il Is common TO see In
every Eskimo grave that has been
| opShtu an Wuitu io
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, horr
! OF powder, a bag of shot, pouch ol
tobacco, flint and steel for striking
fire, an AK and pair Of snowshoes
The burial place is likewise hilltop
as 1t is impossible to dig underground
in Labrador for eight months of the
year. and stones are also used tt
cover the coffin. But they are so ar
ranged that some can be removed aftel
ten days when the relatives return ant
take out these valuable articles. II Il
held that by that time the dead ont
has reached the happy hunting grounds
and has no further use for them. Blu
even they. too, substitute woodei
sticks for the gun. ak and snowshoes
and skins for other articles.
