back the same distance.
Tobacco deliveries are now of daily
occurrence and the warehouses will be
kept busy from the time that sorting be-

 little hnts iu which live queer little people, the EskimoS There can be no doubt that this is Santa Claus Land, because the old saint who comes down to the warmer and more lovely lands of all the world every Christmas eve and leaves many gifts for the children Is himself dressed in heavy skins and furs, just as the ESk imos dress, and he rides in an arctic sled drawn by swift little reindeer.
 santa Claus Land is very unlike ours. Ii has no pretty gardens i'll summer nor any green fields or forests. on the contrary, it is always bleak and bar ren. The winters are very long and very cold. In the northernmost parts the sun is seldom seen in winter, the night bcin. nearly six months long The people dwell ill hnts built of ice and snow during the winter and in tents made of the dried skins of seals and reindeer during the summer. The reindeer supplies them with their only means of rapid transit during the long arctic night when the sleugc dogs grow sullen and drowSy. It travels in the darkness as well as in Sht and gives rich milk, which may be made into butter or cheese. When slaughtered the reindcer's meat is eat cn. and his hide is made into clothing for the ESkimos or stretched over poles and dried for use in making tents.
 All the people of santa Claus Land men. women and children are clothed in reindeer skins or sealskins. In summer they wear one suit and in win ter two suits. All wear big hoods. call ed parkas, of fur, and in these hoods the mothers sometimes carry their ba- hieS. In certain parts of the frozen regions the babies are carried on their mothers backs. next to the skin, for warmth. while elsewhere it is the GUS tom to carry the infant about in one of the big deerSkin or sealSkin boots of the mother.

 The Eskimo children, except at one or two points in Alaska. go to no school But from their infancy they are schooled in the various items of daily labor which it is necessary for all of them to know. They learn how to gather and dry moss, to catch the scant driftwood that comes their way and to extract blubber. These three things are their only fuel. The boys learn how to fish and hunt and the girls, in a crude way, how to cook. One of the chief duties of the women is to tend the soapstone lamps. which both light and heat the huts in which the Eski mos live. These must be we'll fed with hunks of blubber The little girls learn lamp tending when they are scarcely old enough to toddle.
 Later they become proficient in the curing of walrus meats and the drying of fish The girls also learn how to prepare the feathered skins of certain birds for fashoning into soft and com fortable underclothing.

 The reindeer was introduced into Alaska only about q dozen years ago by the Rev. nr.
