carry their babies in the big hood OF their
reindeer coats which hangs down their back
II the blast is too bitter even for an

comes in useful when creeping In through

when the snow OF the hut is apt to get
rubbed of and send an icy trickle down the
neck. The first thing an EsQuimau child is
taught is familiarity with and management
Of dogs. AS soon as he can crawl about
a toy whip is given to him and the puppies
are brought in for him to play with, while
later on he has toy harness to put upon
them, so that he soon learns to be good
dog driver.
Esquimau boys are fond of all manly
sports. One Of their favorite amusements Is
tobogganing. Wood is so scarce that they
cannot make their sledges of it They cut
sledges out of solid ice. and upon these
they go racing down the snow hills. One
favorite game is to stick number OF
reindeer entlers upright in the snow at the
lower end OF the hill, SO that the sledge
can be guided between them. Then they
start from the top. with spears or some
times bows and arrows-in the use OF
which they are very proficient-and each
one sees how many antlers he can KNOCK
down. As among most savage people,
the time OF the girls is spent mostly IN do
