Women and Eatinu.

considerable fun has been poked at
women for their choice of viands in
public eating places said trained
observer. "but I've noticed that even
there they are more sensible than men
in some respects. Three large. mid
die aged women were taking luncheon
near my table the other noon. The
largest woman, who was dressed in
black, called for two portions of broi-
ed fish and bread ard butter. There
was an abundance for the trio. and
when the fish course had been finished
the waiter asked them if they would
have something else.
Nothing more said the largest
woman. who was paying the check,
and she said it in a determined sort Of
way that brought the repast to an
abrupt close You might have thought
that they were never going to have
anything more to eat as long as they
lived.
"Now, if man invites friends to
take luncheon with him he orders
twice as much as anybody wants and
then keeps on ordering. through ice
cream. coffee, crackers and cheese and
cordials. for fear that he'll be set down
as scrimpy. The guests of that largest
woman couldn't have got another bite

WhistIine and Weeping Trees.

Among the. curiosities of tree life
is the solar or whistling tree of NJ
bia. When the winds blow over
this tree it gives out futelike
sounds, playing away to the wilder
ness for hours at a time strange,
weird melodies. 1t is the spirit of
the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to myriad OF small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary
islands is another arboreal freak.
This tree in the driest weather will
rain down showers from it's leaves,
and the natives gather up the wa
ter from the pool formed at the
foot Of the trunk and find it pure
and fresh. The tree exudes the wa
ter from innumerable pores at the
base Of the leaves. Chicago Jour

Irish Gooseberries.

An Irishman or an Irishwoman
is rarely at loss to give quite as
good as she gets. The American
tourist who figures in Sketchy Bits
found this out to his cost.
An old Irisnwoman who kept a
fruit stall had some melons exposed
for sale. The Yankee, wishing to
have some fun with the old lady,
took up one Of them and said:
sThese are small apples you
grow over here. In America we
have them twice the size"
The woman slowly looked up at
him and in tone of pity exclaim-
ed:
'SSure, sorr, ye must be stranger
in Ireland and know very little
about the fruit of our country whin
ye can't tell apples from gooseber-
ries!" y,

A Hard Working River.

The hardest working river. the one
most thoroughly harnessed to the mill
wheels of labor in the United States,
probably in the world, is the Black
stone. It is not a large river either.
It's drainage area is only about 45S
square miles, and in it's power produc-
ing section it is only forty three miles
long, a very Tom Thumb of a river as
rivers go in America Yet the doughty
little stream produces $4,000 horse
power, fifty for every square mile Of
its drainage area. LIE you will figure
out this amount of horsepower in
terms of coal you will find that the
busy little stream represents a cap
italization of about 25,OOO,OOO. This
is twice the developed horsepower of

THE ESKIMO.
What He Looks Like and the Way He
Dresses and Lives.

Dresses and Lives.
What is an Eskimo like? His
portrait is easily sketched: A small
person Give feet five inches is the.
average height of the men and five
feet that Of the women), with a
grayish copperish and oily skin,
thick lips, deep set and oblique
eyes like the japanese, a fiat, oval
face and fat cheeks, low, retreat
ing forehead and black, glossy,
straight hair, which is allowed to
grow to its full length. The hands
and feet are remarkably small. The
nose is abnormally flat.
The faces Of the children are
generally so fat that the eyes al
most disappear, and the nose is
sunken between the cheeks instead
of protruding
The Eskimos have happy, care
less, optimistic look about them.
Nordenskjold used to call them
ssbig children" and stated that
"these unfortunate creatures, who
are deprived Of every comfort, are
conceited and jocular. They are
hospitable, too, and when brought
into contact with Europeans they
grow civilized quite rapidly, though
they retain a number of their old
habits"
AS regards dress, it is almost the
same for women as for men-a
close fitting sealskin coat, with a
hood for the head and breaches Of
the same material
Needless to say the Eskimos dis.
like water as cleansing agent,
and they lack fascination. But
they do not consider Europeans as
very attractive, and the refinements
of civilization are repulsive to
them. The same Nordenskjold once
told very amusing story on this
matter. He gave bottle of eau de
cologne to an aged Eskimo lady to
smell. She almost tainted and
called the scent "dreadfully stencil
ing" But she dwelt in sordid
hut, where the air was "unbreatha
ble," and lived on food of which one
hesitates to think.
The Eskimos have no religion
worthy of the name. They are ex-.
tremely superstitious. But how
could they help being so, surround
ed as they are by truly fantastic
scenery-mysterious caverns and
grottoes, mountains of ice, bathed
in the weird light effects of the arc
tic atmosphere or in the awe in
spring gloom Of the polar night?
The Eskimos, however, have
much respect for the shead of the
family" Funerals are complicat-
ed affair in Greenland, and the
most curious custom in connection
with such ceremonies is the bury
ing of dogs head-meant to act
as guide-together with the dead
body.
They live under tents during the
summer and under snow huts dur
ing the cold season. They possess a
skin canoe called kayak, sledge
and few dogs.
They marry at an early age. The
bride brings to her new home her
clothes, knife and lamp. The
husband gives her a cooking pot.
Eskimo etiquette compels the bride
to object to marriage, and she must
pretend to escape from her husband
two or three times before settling
down to her duties and accepting
her share of responsibilities. -Ex-

YOUNG coRBETT WHIPPED.
One Time Champ Knocked Out in
Eighth Round.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, July 17.-Young
Corhett. the one-time conqueror OF Terry
McGovern, proved an easy victim for
young Johnny Frayne of San Francisco,
who knocked him out today in the eighth
round of bout scheduled to go twenty
five rounds.
Corbett probably was in no condition to
put up hard battle, and no time did
he appear to have a chance. The men
were to have weighed in at 135 pounds
at 10 o'clock this morning. but Corbett
failed to make the weight, and 1t was
announced that he was fully two pounds
in excess of the requirements.
The Corbett of today was a mere shadow
of the once great lightweight. who but
few years ago electrified the sporting
world with his wonderful battles. His
famous "haymaker" was iil-timed and
there was no power behind il. The con-
test was a tame and uninteresting affair
up to the time of the knockout In the
eighth round F'rayne shot out right and
left, catching Corbett flush on the jaw.

GREAT CARNIVAL PLANNED.

LONDON, July 17.-Sport lovers the
world over are rejoicing in the announce
ment regarding an all-around athletic
project 1.-The like Of which has never been

Each of these events will be waged for
a $4,000 purse.
In the running track there will be a
revival of the old-time six days go-as-

as the stadium track is the longest over
which such race has ever been held it
is hoped that new record for distance
will be established.
Every afternoon the entrants will be
forced to their tents at certain time
and the track given over to ,sprints.. dis
tance races. and Friday Marathon
race, the whole of which will be run in
full view of the spectators.
There will be ten entries for the latter.
Eight already signed are Hayes, Dorando.

Maloney and Cibot. The purse for this
event will be $4,000.
Innumerable other events Of all de-
scriptions will fill in the week. day and
night.
