The Esuuimau,

Frequent references to the childlike in
nocence of the "Fathest North people in
the present Polar news recalls to mind the
stories told by Capt. Parish of his winter
on the Greenland coast in 1873. On that
occasion he had carried as part of his
equipment a wheelbarrow which proved
quite superfluous, so a member of the
crew was allowed to trade it off to the
Esquimaux. The ivory and furs given to
him for it by the angikok or doctor of the
tribe were valued at between $500 and
$1,000. Prophetic of the days of automo-
biles, the angikok used the Wheebarrow
as a means of transportation. Imagine
the establishment of the crew the next
day to see Mister Doctor sitting tailor
fashion in the wheelbarrow, but when
being transported the vehicle and load
We're perched on the head of sturdy Es-
quimau, who kept his burden in balance
by holding on the handles. The Doctors
boarding and alighting from his vehicle
were speedily, if ungracefully accom-
pished. When the barrow was unoccu-
pied. the chauffeur trundled it along, but
no amount of urgent instruction could
induce him to dopother than carry it on
his head when loaded.
The EsquimauX are more noted for
blackening their teeth, which at best are
that when this typical Yankee member of
the crew bethought himself to increase
his wealth by trading off a few cans Of
tooth powder. he had not counted on the
sweet toOth or the ESqulmauX. From the
commissary he appropriated six cans of
DR.. Lyons Tooth Powder and proceeded
with his barter. illustrating it's use. He
assured the crew that he knew the eff
cacy of the famous old dentifrice and
that it was harmless. but should be used
in homeopathic doses when taken inter-
nally. Capt. Parish adds that the beauti-
full wintergreen odor and decidedly demul-
cent effects arising from the Esquimau S
stew in which all the Powder had been
thrown for seasoning, while decidedly aro-
matte was hardly appetiZing as a meat
course, even though it has been favorite
with refined people for nearly half a cen
tury for other purposes

ADJUDGED INSANE, BUT is HE?
Great Apple Orchard on Barrens Not
Mad Project After All.

Frederic, Mich, Dec. 17.-Henry
Ward, Pontac's eccentric millionaire,
a few years ago began planting what
he declared would be a 20,000-acre APP
pie orchard on the pine barrens, six
miles from here. He had succeeded in
getting about 1000 acres planted with
young trees when an application was
made to have him adjudged insane.
Witnesses whose testimony was
largely instrumental in having Ward
declared demented and confined in a
sanitarium were residents of this
county. They declared positively and
solmenly that any man who would
try to grow apples on the barrens was
a bug"
But Ward was right, after all. This
season the crop from those 1000 acres
of apple trees was sold-on the trees
for $4,000.

PATRiOTicALLY CUT OFF FIN
GER.
Chinese Speaker Sought to Stir UF
Pride Against Foreign Loan.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 17.-According
to advices received here yesterday a
dramatic appeal to Chinese patriotism
was made at Nankow, China, on No
vember 20. at meeting to oppose the
flotation of foreign loans for building
the Yeh Hon and Chun Han railroad.
The principal speaker cut off his little
finger before the assemblage. The
district gentry are fighting to have the
line financed by domestic loans, and
have raised more than ten million dol
lars. The United States, with Euro
pean nations, has been demanding a
share in foreign loans proposed for
building the line.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Tuesday, Dec. 81, at 10 A. M.

The annual report of the chief of
coast artillery, Z. S. A., which has
lust been received at the office of the
adjutant general makes the following
reference to the National Guard Coast
Artillery organizations, which have
been formed at the request of the war
department:
In the majority of States the organi-
cations have as yet been able to get
but little more than a start on the way
toward a satisfactory status as coast
artillery, and it would be unreasonable
TO expect much more at this time
considering the difficulties the new
organizations have encountered in
getting any kind of coast artillery in
strumerts or apparatus for their
armory work, the lack of trained in
structors, the fact that the weapons
they are to use are mounted in distant
/ forts and cannot be carried to or we'll
duplicated in their armories, and the
trouble they have in getting away,
even for Il few days from their civil
occupations to take part in the an
nual maneuverS with regular coast
artillery at the guns. However, in a
few states. where the interest in coast
artillery work has extended over
number of years. during which the or
CARNATIONS have had considerable
armory training with imrrovised
coast artillery instruments and ap-
paratus with a week or 10 days actual
practice annually with heavy guns at
nearby forts the progress made and
the degree of efficiency attained is
quite renarkable-so much so, in
deed, that it is confidently believed
that in the event of sudden war these
organizations would now be able to
give a good account of themselves
If they continue to progress as they
have in the past they will be all that
could possibly be hoped fol in militia
coast artillery reserves.
The great enthusiasm shown by
these militia reserves as a rule, in TAX
ing up coast artillery work under such
trying circumstances, the cordial as
sistance that has everywhere been
given them by the regular coast artil-
lery during the annual coast artillery
maneuvers, the help that has recently
been given by Congress in the way of
appropriations for armory equipment
and the interest and support that has
been extended them by the war de-
partment, all lead to the belief that
the now unframed coast artillerymen
will eventually develop into force,
which will prove of much value to the
nation in the event of attack on our
Seacoast and of which all who have
taken mart i'm its dpyplODmGnt NAV be
justly proud.

The agriculture department is finding
many violations OF the oleomargerine
laws in many parts of the State. The
act of the Legislature in regard to the
matter, which it is the duty Of the
commissioner of agriculture and his
assistants to enforce, provides that no
hotel restaurant of boarding house
shall serve oleomargerine to it's guests
in place of butter without notifying
them that they are being served oleo-
margarine in place of butter. The
agent of the department, who is en-
gagged in investigating this matter
along with the enforcement of other
dairy laws finds that there is ii wide
spread violation of the law in the
State. The department has already
discovered 20 cases, where the law has
been violated and announces that the
law in relation to OleOmargerine will
be enforced just as strictly as the
other dairy laws.
