THE HEATHEN ESKIMO.
He Is Good HUNDRED with His Queer
Customs and Beliefs.

Professor Myths Eriksen, writing of
the hea then Eskimo in northern Green
land, says: He lacks Imagination, but
his powers of observation are very
acute In spite of the fact that his life
is an uninterrupted struggle for exist
ence the Greenlander is always in a
good humcr, and his boisterous laugh
can be heard sounding far over ice and
snow fields. His way of telling stories
Is short and abrupt, but comieal fea-
lures are strongly emphasized. His sto-
ries consist generally of his own ad-
ventures, Old legends about fights with
neigh5ors and wild animals, about Sc
we're winters and great famines, about
supernatural beings. 1t Is considered
highly creditab'e to be able to tell sto-
ries SO long that the audience Is lulled
to sleep. An orator who achieves this
feat is solemnly welcomed on the next
morning, and every one thanks him
profusely for the pleasure which he &C
corded the night before.
Ideas of beauty are peculiarly devel-
oped in the heather Eskimo. He re-
CARDS beauty solely from the stand
point of utility. For instance, a rock
projecting out of water only appears
beautiful to him when it is visited in
summer by water birds which breed
there. A foaming torrent is only beau
tiful if 1t contains many salmon.
Clothes are not put together with any
idea of regularity of color, only their
practical utility being considered. Huts
are made of snow and stones, with
domed tops, but without any architec-
tural design.
"Only the spirit conjurers (angakoks)
occupy an exalted position, being re-
garded as priests and doctors. Their
task is to establish a connection be-
tween the visible world and the hidden
spirits. and in this way they obtain a
certain influence over their neighbors.
The angakok asks his spirit for ad-
vice and then informs the invalid that
his illness has been sent by the spirits
as punishment for certain deeds"

Maintaining their record of having

The base running or the team Is a

ran bases like wild men on the trip
and they had the opposing catchers

time. The inside baseball of the
club was not forgotten.
