There are generally eight players on side
and they have different positions assigned
to them, such as rushers, goal-keeper, num-
Der one. two, etc.
Like in football, team work is indispensa-
BILE, but the individual opportunities for skill
in the saddle and with the arm are many and
brilliant. Ii stick is dropped, the player
must dismount and pick it up, but he can
not strike the ball again until mounted. The
stroke. Is made with a long stick or NAL
let. which the rider holds in his right hand,
as he guides his pony with the left. Ii he
attempts to 'dribble" the ball the chances
that it will be lost and over-ridden be-
fore it has been taken as far as one good hit
would send it,
Two strokes are common in polo-the for
ward and the backhanded. The latter comes
into play when the ball is rolling toward the
goal, and player of that side galloping af-
ter it, overtakes it in time, and by back
handed hit sends it flying far behind his back
to his friends
If player is "before his side"-that is, if
he is in front of the player of his own side
who has hit the ball-he is "off side" or
snealSing, and out of the game. He does not
become "on his side" until the ball is hit,
or hit at, on the opposite SIDE or until the
player, on his own side, who makes the hit
passes him. As long as the player remains
"of side" he has no right to hit the ball OF

Festal occasions are early in December when
they have kind of harvest home, entertain
ments being given every day by each hut in
succession, with an evening dance in the as
sembly-house: A day will be devoted to
whales, another to reindeer, others to seal
their whaleboats, sleds husbands, sweethearts
and wives.
This festival is kept up until the whole nro.
gram is completed or some one dies through
exhaustion in dances of endurance.
The next is that of good cheer. in lima
when they quit whaling and exchange nres,
ents, give scraps to the poor, and toss each
other up in blankets.
Another season of gaiety is when the repre-
sentatves of different tribes meet at the spn,-
mer rendezvous for the purpose of exchans-
ing commodities. Dancing, foot-races and
wrestling matches are INDUCED in. N
Both sexes join in games of polo, football
and tag. In summer, girls toss sand-stone
balls with their hands, two balls with one
hand, or three balls with both hands In
winter they toss an ice-bal with their feet
keeping it from touching the ground for hours
at a time. Sometimes they toss it from one
to another.

TIE ESOUIMAUX |

The bones of the face are better protected
covering of flesh than southern races.
Generally, their beard is very scant, and
most of them devote otherwise idle hours to
pulling out the hairs. All have good teeth,
but they are subjected to severe usage, being
used for pincers, vises and futing machines.
The teeth are also employed in drawing
bolts, untying knots, holding the mouth-piece
of drill, shaping boot-soles, stretching and
tanning skins. When they become uneven
from hard usuage, they are leveled off with a
file or whetstone.
At any time, from sixteen to twenty-five
years of age, the men have their lower lips
pierced under each corner of the mouth for
labrets, or plugs.
When the incision is first made, sharp point
ed pieces of ivory are put in. After the
wound heals the hole is gradually stretched
to half an inch in diameter.
Some of the poorer natives wear labrets
made from camel coal ivory, and glass stop
pers obtained from ships, which they shape
for the purpose. All who can obtain them
have agate ones
Some of the girls have their ears pierced
Just back of the lobe, where it is thinnest.
They wear ivory earrings, some of which are
carved with plain figures, while Others have
a setting of turquoise Some of them have a
string Of beads, extending from one earring
to the other, suspended under the throat.
Tattooing the chin among the women is
general and it is kept up, so they say, be-
cause it has always been the custom. At the
age of six. one narrow. perpendicular line is
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

drawn down the centre Of the chin, powder
ed charcoal being used in coloring. At about
twelve years of age the line is broadened to
half an inch and narrow line drawn par
allel to it on each side
Clothing for men consists of knee-brcechcs,
belted at the loins; loose-ftting coat trim
med around the bottom and the hood with
wolf or wolverine, blending of both;
pair of stockings, and a short-legged pair of
boots with sealskin soles.
In winter two suits are worn, the inner
suit with the hair next to the body and the
other with the hair turned out.
They are intelligent beyond what might be
expected, and are quick in providing ways and
means in cases of emergency. Some of them
carve with knife on. pipestems, or drill
bows made of mastodon or walrus ivory, pic
lures illustrating events in the life of the ar
tist, tribal history or festal occasions
There are instances where they have COM
municated with each other by means of pic
lures, carved on wood or ivory. In their
drawings they have no idea of the perspec-
tive, and instead of drawing from nature they
are more apt to incline to the grotesque and
hideous, just as the fancy may seize them
Our pictures are unintelligble to them, un-
less they are distinctly ludicrous.
Children are given from two to six Names
but none of them are those borne by the
father or mother, but are those of ancestors
or respected relatives. The literal meaning
of the names are stone, foxes or different
lkins, seals of all varieties and sizes, birds
animals, parts of animals, of birds, of fishes,
or of the body, sections Of the country, winds.

The game thus inaugurated rapidly acquir..
ed popularity, and it was soon transplanted
to English soil, whence it spread to Amer
ica. ;.
1t is perhaps the most exciting and exhi
larating game known, but it is at times rath-
er dangerous.
The player must be first-cass horseman,
as well as be accurate and quick in hitting
the ball.
The ponies must be well trained and
speedy, the riders full of nerve and Judg-
ment, and fearless even to recklessness.,
The field required for the sport should be
at least 120 yards in length by 20 yards in
width. and the larger the better.
The ground should be level turf, as smooth
as a base ball ground. The rules require the
goals to be not less than % yards apart, each
goal yards wide, and the object to drive
the ball between the posts marking the oppo-
nent's goal
The rules of polo are very simple, although
the play is extremely difficult The follow
ing are the most important
1. Each side shall nominate an umpire,
unless it be agreed to have but one.
2. No spurs with rowes shall be allowed.
g. When the ball is hit beyond the goal,
the sides defending the same are entitled to
a hit off from the line.
4. Each side takes its position about a
dozen yards within the goal-post, and on
the ball being thrown out by the umpire to
the centre, the game commences.
8. When the ball is hit out of bounds it
must be thrown into the field by an impair
tial person.

Safe locked in memorys casket.
The embers glowed like bars of gold,
The weather-gauge marked zero;
A guest sat by our hearth and told
This story of hero:
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

Bruce had friend, who loved him we'll
Who saw the danger lower;
But not word dared he to tell.
For great was Edwards power.
Some secret warning must be planned,
To show by sign or token,
That danger lurked on every hand
Some warning all unspoken.
There was a banquet in the hall. i
Time flew each moment faster; =
A servant strobe before them all,
With message from his master.
"These things 1 bring to noble Bruce,
Who to my master lent them;
He thanks him kindly for their use,
And back to him hath sent them"
A pair of spurs and purse of gold!
Bruce knew he never lent them;
Some secret meaning they must hold
Some hint from him who sent them.
"Spurs are for speed-ah, yes, I see
And one needs gold who travels;
These trinkets whisper flight to me
The mystery now unravels!.'
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

King Edward. with an iron hand,
Made Scottish subjects fear him,
And Bruce, their king, by his command,
In court and camp kept near him.
Bruce did not know that Edwards spies
A constant watch were keeping;
They never closed their hostile eyes
Small time had they for sleeping.
They watched by night, they watched by da
For Edward only waited,
With murder in his heart, to slay
The rival whom he hated.

naws facts which are of interest, and from his
renort the following article has been Condens-
ed: :, =,
Three types are observable among the Es-
limo of Alaska. First are the TALL cadaver-
n,s natives on Kotzebue Sound, who live on
Gsb ntarmigans and marmots. They always
Look hungry, and in fact they always are.
Then there is the tall, strongly-knit type of
.ha Nooatoks, gigantic race, of splendid
"bvsioue. that would be remarkable in any
part Of the world
Ruoued as the mountains among which they
I've viuorous and courageous, they stop at
nothing but the impossible, to accomplish
Sss;red end. Their food supply is the rein
Sesr mountain sheep, ptarmigans and fish.
The third type is the short, stumpy one
ihah,v that of the old Esquimaux before the
plV;t psOn;xt,re with southern tribes, now found
aun the Arctic coast. Whale, seal and deer
aot on are their food staples.
The Esquimaux have coarse, black hair,
some with tinge OF brown. Men have the
crown Of the head closely cropped, SO that
reindeer may not see the waving locks when
the hunter ereeps behind bunch grass.
They have black eyes and high cheek bones.

The captive used his spurs in fight,
As soon as he was able.
King Edwards feetest horse that night
Was taken from the stable.
New-fallen snow was on the ground,
But Bruce. with fox-like cunning,
Look off his horse shoes, turned them rounu
Ihe tracks all backward running.
Across the fields he madly swept,
The tyrant left behind him,
And refuge gained, and then he kept
Where foe could never find him.
Here ceased our guest, his story told,
The moments swiftly flying;
No more the embers glowed like gold
To ashes now fast dying.
The circle round the hearth that night
Too soon. alas! was broken;
Gone down have most in life's hard fight,
And left behind no token
The SHOWS have fallen on their track,
Some day hope to greet them;
To know that they will not come back
But spurs me on to meet them.

Reports had reached India by way of
Cashmere, that the Gigittis were race of
blue-eyed Kaffirs (unbelievers in Moham-

probably the descendants of one of Alexan-

the Punjab government, in the spring of
1866, deputed DR.. Gottlieb Leitner to visit
the country and inquire into the history and

natives of the country to return with him
to British India and bring their polo sticks
and ponies along with them.
