seeing of objects in some cases
almost impossible.
The Esquimo lives on fish,
meat and oil. They use no wa

their thirst they use a piece of ice
or melt snow by holding it in
their mouths. They never wash
their faces, nor do the men ever
shave, as that art is unknown in
the far north country. The
speaker ventured to say that the
Esquimo belle felt just as good
after anoiting her face plentiful
~ with oil as theAmerican young
lady did after a liberal use of
cold cream and powder.
In Greenland doctors, lawyers,
ministers and all men of profess
sion are absolutely unknown. All

he is taught at home by his par

toms, and their long periods of
enforced idleness, the speaker
maintained that the Esquimo are
the most contented people on
earth, for the reason that they
know of no other country or GUS
toms than theirs. For this rea-
son, therefore, she discried the
idea of sending missionaries
from civilized countries among
them, maintaining that they, by
imparting other customs and tell
ing of other countries, would
make the Esquimo disconnected
with his lot. Rather, she said,
let the missionary bring the
Greenlander to his own country
and there inpart to him the
modes of civilization.
