WOMAN CAME FIRST.
Eskimo Tradition as 20 the origin of
the Human Family.

Nhe
The arctic Eskimos have their tradi-
ton Of the origin OF man, much the
same as the Caucasian, and their tales
of the prowess IN battle, their sagas
relating the past glories OF what is
now an almost extinct race are as
thrilling rs some OF those that tell Of
the wondrous deeds OF Olin and Thor
or of those Grecian ancients whose
deeds are yet preserved in prose and
poetry.
According to Eskimo tradition, the
first man was made not from the dust
Of the earth. but from a piece OF chew
ing gum, for be IL known that the In-
dian is the original gum chcwcr az
well rs tobacco smoker. But woman
was first. The first woman was lying
one day on her couch OF furs chewing
gum. Growing weary, she took II from
her mouth and fashioned IL into the
form Of man. Tired then, she fell
asleep. TO find upon her awakening
ed into the figure of gum OF which she
had been the architect, and. 10, man
was there! And so the world began
TO be peopled.

says III. L. Watson In the Engineering
Magazine, by far the most numerous
are those arising from the presence OF
scale and its twin sister, incrustation;
but broken braces can give an engl-
neer a very bad quarter Of an hour. A
steamer plying on the great lakes
many years ago carried very high
steam for those days-fifty pounds per
square inch on Il very large and light
shell. Tho engineer on watch was down
in the fire room looking around when
loud bang came from one of the boil
ers. Instantly divinlng the cause, he
looked questloningly at the head watch
tender, who replied, BE jabers. hope
that amt next door nelghbor to the
one that let go on the other watch"
That startled the engineer for he had
not been told of the other broken brace.
He at once stopped the blowers, open
ed the doors, shut the stop valve be-
tween boilers and put Oh the feed
pumps as rapidly as they could go so
as to reduce pressure. The deck de-
partment was notified that 1t would be
necessary to stop, and they hauled to
one side Of the channel and waited for
the coming up Of another boat in the
same line passed few miles back.
The passengers there were 1000 on
board and mails were transferred, and
the boat returned with the injured
boiler out OF business.

THERE seems to be an epidemic of
suicides these days. You can hardly
pick up daily paper but what you
see an account Of some poor soul TAX
ing his or her life. Sometimes there
are two or three articles of this ma
ture in the same paper. 1t is truly a
pity, that life with all its God-given
privileges and possible happiness
should be so ruthlessly cast aside by
the possessor, but perhaps if we could
all read the hearts and lives of these
wretched suicides as they know and
feel them for themselves, we would
have more pity and less censure for
these souls whose minds are troubled
and who feel so friendless and so use.
