bright spot in poor Taharhrah's day.

his dogs for siedging purposes he re-
fused because it would deprive him

Death Ceremonies.
1.-THE Eskimos have very interesting
ceremonies connected with their death
and burial" said Mr.. Peary, land one
sees strange sights in an Eskmoland
graveyard. When an Eskimo dies his
grave is NOT heaped with flowers, not
even with ICELAND moss. nor is he laid
away with the belief that there will be
a resurrection of the body. There are
no graves-that is, no openings in the
ground, for, of course. the earth is too

upon the body, and beside these stones
is placed his sledge. to which his dogs
are harnesSed, then strangled Upon
the sledse are laid his canoe, his wea-
pons, all his personal effects, and es-
pecially everything which may ba
needed for a journey. For ne is, some
time, going to come forth from the
grave and he will need all these things
for his journey to the happy hunting
ground. 1t is not a spiritual sphere
to which he hopes to go, but a ma
terial one where he will enjoy life in
the same old way-with perhaps little
less trouble than the evil one and
little more Of the joys of existence.
When he emerges from the grave his
dogs also will come to life and stand
ready to convey their master upon his
heavenly journey.
When an Eskimo woman dies the
same proceeding takes place. Her
sewing outfit, all her personal effects,
her household utensils and the little
iron lamp with its supply of blubber
oil. are placed upon a clod beside the
grave and with the dogs, they. too.

tress.

lief in a spiritual cause or God, but
they seem to possess a keen and very
alert consciousness of the devil-whom

duties. Being, like the poor, even with
them, the Eskimo thinks that the devil
should be treated with diplomacy.

1t looks now as though the fight in Central America might end in tolcr- ably permanent peace for the most of the warning states down there. There have been number of conferences of South American diplomats at the state department in the past two weeks and 1t is believed that they will be able to get Honduras Salvador and Nicaragua together on the basis of permanent peace and cement an agreement in virtue of which there will be quiet and internal development in the little republics along the isthmus and to the southward for some time to come.

There are stories afoat of strife in
 the cabinet, says q Washington writer.
 Just how much truth is behind some
 of them, it is hard to say. but it is
 guessed by some long range guessers
 that Secretary Root will not stay out
 this administration as secretary of
 state. He took the position rather un-
 der protest. He gave up a very large and lucrative law practice in New
 York, congenial surroundings and con
 genial friends to take what he believed
 was a place where he would really be serving the country. That he has proved an able diplomatist all of the diplomatic corps in Washington are willing to testify, and the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute will stand as more of monument to his ability than anything he would ever have been likely 10 do had he become president. But it is said either with or without good reasons that he is dis satisfied with his present relations to the administration. There is no deny ing that the influence of Secretary Root, and were it not that he has some important things he wants 10 accom- plish with South America. it is prob able the guessers says he would quit the cabinet this summer. As it is. he Is more or less bound up with securing recognition of the Drago doctrine as complement of the Monroe doctrine. before the coming Hague tribunal and if he accomplishes that. he will have record that few secretaries of state have equalled. Thereafter IL Is understood he will return to New York.

LACE OF VARIOUS SORTS,
Wide Choice Is Afforded by the Sea. sons Materials.

Silk Russian lace, in its inimitable
 shade of silvery ecru. is much used
 with the chiffon weight silks and
 satin finish silks and crepes. In the misty, diaphanous tulles and nets the various silk novelty faces, repousse lace, or Mechlin are used. Fancy val enciennes with the weave partly in imitation of batiste, abounds in many attractive designs of points, squares and tabs, both in insertions and edgings; all-over laces coming to match. For the simpler cotton frocks, "a novelty is the Valenciennes-Vene titan lace, which reproduces in light ly patterned mesh the beautiful de- signs of the heavier lace. This lace is also suitable to combine with India silk. Torchon appears as the favored inserting and edging on many of the washable dresses. and is immensely smart this year for inserting in linen suits for children, when outlined by braiding in cord or soutache.

ALL DEPENDS ON CORSET.
Must Be Perfectly Fitting to Make
 Wearer We'll Dressed.

The most conspicuous suits for new
 ness are few of those with plain
 skirts and coats of great length They are wonderful examples of fitting aud are molded to the figure like wax. Much of the effect depends upon the corseting. Wonderful corsets are be. ing imported all in one of the mail lot" and over this close fitting gar ment there is only one petticoat worn, a princess cut so that the upper part serves to cover the corset. Other dev- otees of the new slim waist merely wear maillot flounced from the knees or the chamois petticoat fiounced in the same way with silk that is soft and does not rustic. With these corset Is worn covered with line silk camisole. Maillot, the ma terial that makes, as the word indi- cates, garment that fits the figure closely, is much warmer than it would seem to be when held in the hand.
 It is the new slim waist of the French dressmakers which is bringing about this evolution from lingerie. It, or they, rather, have totally banished the petticoat for the extreme dresser, but they do not give up frills. which are attached to the maillot garments more plentifully than ever. Some of them are dual garments in combina- tion which fit the figure like glove, and both of which have petticoat hounces from the knee towards.
 The new corset, long below the waist. is comfortable when it is we'll fitted, much more so than the old short kind, but women are hard to convert to it, so say the shopkeepers, and it will take long to get used to it.
