THE EskIMos' PIPES.
Small Bowls With Stems of walrus
Tusk Handsomely Carved.

Tusk Handsomely Carved.
The pipes used by the Eskimos
are quite different from those of any
other North American race and in
the shape Of the bowl more resem-
bic the opium pipes used by the
Chinese than anything else. The
old pipes were very small in the
amount of tobacco that they would
hold, for in former days tobacco was
extremely scarce and in its use was
most carefully husbanded.
There was therefore a wide farine
margin to the pipe to catch any
grains Of tobacco that might be
spilled in filing it; then there were
a hollow which would hold a pinch
Of tobacco half as large as an ordi.
nary pea and rather wide hole
passing down through the base Of
the bowl which fitted into the pipe.
stem. The bowl of the pipe was Of
ivory, stone, brass or copper.
The pipestem was curved and
had mouthpiece. 1t is said that
the small hole running down
through the base of the bowl and
into the pipestem was usually
plugged with caribou hair to save
any grains of tobacco that might
otherwise have passed down through
this aperture and so be lost. The
smoking of such pipe would not
last long, and We may presume thot
very few draws would exhaust It.
The smoke was of course taken into
the lungs.
The Eskimos are known to be ex-
tremely skillful in the represents
ton of scenes and objects, while the
Indians of Queen Charlotte's sound
and generally all the natives OF the
northwest coast of America are IA
nous for their carving in wood and
in black slate. Handsomely carved
Eskimo pipes of walrus ivory from
northwestern Alaska have on each
side of the pipe-that is to say, on
four more or less long fat surfaces
scenes from the daily life of the
Eskimo. Of these the two sides on
the right hand of the pipe as it is
held in position for smoking appear
to represent the period of cold
weather, later autumn, winter and
early spring, while those on the left
hand side of the pipe represent the
summer life of the Eskimo.-For-

DEGREES OF BuRHs.
How They Are Marked and How They
Shout! Pc Trc-ted.

Shoul5 &c Treated.
The medical books describe sever
a! degrees of burns, according to the
amount of DAMAGE the fire has done
to the skin or the parts beneath.
The first degree consists merely
in redness and singing of the skin.
such as is caused by the fame of a
match touching the finger for an in
slant or by a drop of hot wax from
a candle falling on the hand. ordi-
narily this is trivial accident, and
the pain of it, if annoying, may be
subdued by applying cloth wet
with solution of cooking soda, but
if a large surface is burned, as when
a cambria night dress catches fire
and blazes up for moment, but is
quickly extinguished, the patient
may suffer severely from shock.
In the second degree, blisters
form on the injured part. Care
must be taken not to tear the bis
ters-in removing the burned cloth
ing, for example. a little snip with
clean scissors or two or three pune
lures with a clean needle should be
made in the part of the blister
which protrudes most, and as soon
as the water has drained away the
part should be covered with a cloth
wet with soda. sluution or with
equal parts of limewater and olive
oil-called carron oil.
In burns of the third degree the
upper layer of the skin is DESTROYED.
This is the most painful of burns,
for the sensitive cutaneous nerves
are exposed. The first thing to do
is to cover the part so as to protect
the barred nerve endings from con-
tact with the air. The same dress
ing as that for burns of the second
degree will give relief until the ply
sician comes. Carron oil is best,
but the soda solution is better than
nothing and much better than plain
water or oil.
In burns of the fourth degree
the third and fourth degrees usually
occur together-the skin is burned
through and the bare flesh is ex-
posed. This, strange as it NAV
seem, is less painful than a third
degree burn, for now the nerve end
ings, which receive and transmit
the painful sensations, are entirely
DESTROYED. 1t is more serious in its
after effects, because it always
leaves a scar which is disfguring
and may contract and draw the part
out of shape.
In burns of the fifth degree the
muscles and other tissues are more
or less extensively disintegrated,
and in those of the sixth degree the
entire hmb-fnger, hand, arm,
foot or leg-is destroyed.
In all these seyerer burns there
is more or less shock, which may be
so profound as to kill, and there are
also serious symptoms caused by
congestion Of the internal organs
and probably also by poison form
ed in the burned tissues.-Youth's
Companion.

Wanted TO Bet

The greatest trotter in the world
for his time was being sold at auc-
ton, says Ainslee's Magazine. He
was finally knocked down to a local
millionaire for $4,000. The pur-
chaser strolled out of the ring ard
over to a lunch counter, where he
ordered a chicken sandwich.
The restaurant man sliced off a
postage stamp wafer of chicken and
inserted it between two slices of
bread. The horseman passed over
a dollar, and the attendant non
chalantly handed back half. The
horsemanI looked at the change with
puzzled gaze for a few moments
and then pushed it back, with the
remark:
81 will bet YOU"
''Bet me what?" asked the at
tendant.
''The half dollar"

Wash Goldfish well. 1t is meaty
fish, very sweet and no waste. Wrap
it in clean cloth and boil it in salt
water fully so minutes. Remove
from cloth, put it on a hot platter
and garnish with parsley and lemon

lowing sauce: Heat one-half a cup of
sweet butter until it browns, remove
from fire to cool, then add one heap
lag tablespoonful ofwet French mus
tlrd to the cooked butter and place
the pan over hot water until fish and
sauce are to be served. The mus
tlrd must not be put into the butter
while it is hot or it will curdle. If
any of the fish is left over after one
meal it can be made into breakfast
dish for Goldfish balls by adding one
half the quantity of boiled potatoes,
the yolk of an egg, little melted
butter, salt and pepper. This is

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never use soap on window panes.
Use either alcohol or ammonia to
make them shine.
Cream cheese, mixed with canned
currants or jeIlied cranberries, makes
good sandwich filing.
Coal SCOT is easily removed from
the articles or porcelain, if they are
first coated with kerosene.
To keep insects away wipe the
floors of closets, after they are
scrubbed, with gasoline or benzine.
To remove ink stains from the
hands rub the juice of ripe tomatoes
over them and rinse in warm water.
The favor of a cup of cocoa is
often made more delicate if the least
bit of vanilla is placed in it.
If you cannot get into the deep
recesses of refrigerator with a scrub
brush, try using a small, stiff paint
brush.
Instead of sewing hangers to tow
els make small buttonholes. They
will last as long as the lowell and
can't wear off.
The darkest stain on a mirror or
window pane can generally be routed
by rubbing with a flannel wet in
spirits of camphor.
To remove rust from kettles fill
them with hay, packed tightly, fill
in with boiling water and boil for
several hours.
If your corn does not pop well, it
may be that it is too old. Soak it in
cold water for fifteen minutes, drain
and try again.
Figs and dates chopped with diced
apples make delicious combination
for a salad with mayonnaise. Serve
on lettuce leaves.
An egg shell or two, or better still,
an oyster shell, should be kept in
every tea kettle. Then no rust will
appear.
If six to ten drops of spirits of
camphor are taken on lump ofsugar
when sncezing starts, bad cold
may be averted.
The juice Of stewed cranberries,
with the addition of lemon and su-
gar to taste, makes delicious drink,
diluted with cold water.
When serving poached eggs, in
stead of the usual slice of toast place
the eggs on rounds of bread, cut thin
and sauted in butter.
Bric-a-brac should be carefully
busted before being washed in hot
borax water or soapsoads in which
little ammonia has been dissolved.
A good cleanser for hardwood is
to wash it with a clean flannel wet
in turpentine and rub lightly after
ward with linseed oil.
Paint the inside woodwork of bed
steads with corrosive sublfmate and
turpentine, s cents worth of the
former to a pint of water.

Reade's literary work was, Sir
Robert Anderson remarks, a rare
combination OF genius and plodding.
A brass scuttle which stood BY the
fireplace held the illustrated and
other papers which reached him

anything that took his fancy, and
the cuttings were thrown into a
