How, Eskimo Women Die.

On her first entrance to her new hut of snow an Eskimo woman is buoyed by hope of welcoming a son. What of her last incoming to those narrow con fines? She knows that the medicine man has decided that her sickness is mortal when she Is laid upon her bed of snow. She gazes upon the feebly burning lamp beside her. upon food and drink set close at her hand. She sees her loved ones pass out of the doorway that needs no tunnel entrance to keep chill airs away, for presently the door is sealed with snow. The chill of death pierces through her en- veloping furs. Her tomb -insures that no long tarrying will be hers. The soul. companioning with her. may re- fresh itself with. food; but, starving and freezing. her feeble body will wit ness even that souls departure and know that it's hour has come to perish alone.-Harper'S Razar.

clothes and language, the exaggerated
chasm which Is supposed TO separated

factory-bred one shrank out OF sight"
Self-conscious investigators, she
says, who do factory work for the sole
purpose of writing II up. have exag.
gerated the contrasts and given n
harmfully untrue picture OF the fac
tory girl The too-prevalent opinion
which attributes lower standard of
morals to factory girls than their sis

dalton In fact"
She found that the self-comforting
statement OF the rich women who
deck themselves in the silks these
girls weave, that the factory girl Isl
used to the monotony and don't mind
IL" is untrue. She found that all OF
the girls, as we'll as herself. found
the passage OF time the most absorb
ing question after the first few hours
of the day. She had to leave her
watch at home because she was asked
the time so often.
She found that the girls showed a
beautiful spirit OF kindness TO each
other. Some girls patiently "learn-l
ed" Miss Sanville her work, though
they got no money for it. one asked
her TO see some lovely waterfalls;
another offered TO get her better

another tried TO get her beau"

work and fight with them, we men
stand astonished. II has got the
