THE ESKIMO'S PIPE.
Small Bowl to Economic Tobacco and
Stem of Walrus Tusk.

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 resemble the opium
pipes used by the Chinese than anything
else, says Forest and Stream. The Old
pipes were very small in the amount of
tobacco that they would hold. for in
former days tobacco was extremely
scarce and i'll its use was most carefully
husbanded.
There was. therefore, Il wide fiaring
margin to the pipe TO catch any grains
of tobacco that might be spilled in filling
it: then there was Il hollow which would
hold Il pinch of tobacco half as large as
an ordinary pen and n 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 pipe stem was curved and had a
mouthpece. 1t is said that the small
hole running down through the base of
the bowl and into the pipe stem 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 Smuk-
ing of such pipe would not last long,
and W" may presume that very few
draws would exhaust it. The smoke
was. of course taken into the lungs.
The ESkimos are known to be extreme
~ skiltul in the representation of scenes
and objects, while the Indians of Queen
Charlottc's sound and generally all the
natives of the northwest coast Of Amer
lea arc famous for their carving in wool
and i'll black slate. Handsomely carved
Eskimo pipes of walrus ivory from north
western Alaska have on each side Of
the pipe, that is To say, on four more or
less long. flat 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 ia position
for smoking appear to represent the pc
Rod of cold weather. later autumn. win
ter AMI early spring while those on
the left hand side of the pipe represent
the snmmer life of the Eskimo.

CAUSES OF NERVOUSNESS.
Doctors Tell Club Women Peek-a-Boo
Gowns Are Bad.

-Four hundred clubwomen and teachers
listened to a discussion of the causes and
prevention of nervous exhaustion at the
Academy of Medicine. Weekly lectures
are given there under the auspices of the
New York County Medical society and
the New York City Federation of Won
ems Clubs.
DIR. Grace Peckham Murray and Dr.
Evelyn Carrigue attributed nervous
prOstration TO the noise of the city. ana
told the women that if they would wear
gowns that could not be designated as
peek-ab they would be making
good start in the prevention of nervous
disorders.
Interest was aroused when DR. Smith
Ely Jpliffa, senior physician at the Neu-
rological hospital, talked about the acces
sorry aids resorted TO by overworked hus
bands. and he was beSieged by a hun
dred women eager to seize the opportu-
nifty of free consultation
IF Il man were cOntented with his pO-
Stion and not strive TO get something
he should not have" said DIR. Jeiiffe
he would be much happier. AS it is he
works overtime to make his position bet
ter, he works so hard he has to use ac-
cessOry aids. or drugs and alcohol and
sooner or later he is in bed suffering
from nervous exhaustion.
Its the little cocktail at o'clock
for the man, and the tea Mt 4. with per-
haps nip of brandy in it, or bridge
party with something on the SIDE, for the
women. that is often at the bottom of
nervous trouble. To avoid such trouble
take things quietly. don't strain after
something You can't get, and don't drink
much
Doctor, my husband works very hard ::
he never comes home until late at night,
and is on the verge of Il nervous break

Tell your husband to try to get some
rest while he is working replied the
doctor. He needs better arrange
ment of his business
Doctor, I'm just as strong as a horse.
I've never eaten meat. I'm stout and
healthy, yet my friends say I'm wasting

"A COW fatteHs on grass" he said.

before is still difficulty and an impro-
priety.
A Chinaman's best friend never thinks
| of asking after his wife or daughters;
they do not appear if he entertains
guests; the higher class women are sell
dom seen driving out, much less walking
about the streets. a missionary Of
many years experience told me of a
breach Of etiquette he once made in bow
ing to a lady whose husband he knew
intimately; she hurried by blushing
deeply and returning no sign of recogni-
ton to so unmannerly salutation: he
never attempted such a thing again,
henceforth ignoring any Chinese lady
he might happen to meet.
Medical work among them can best be
undertaken by women. In point Of fact
the Chinese women flock by thousands 10
the wOmen's hospitals carried on by lady
doctors and nurses One lady doctor told
me she had dealt with as many as 5000
out patient cases in a month"; another
lady doctor worked with her rs well IL

ness of foreign men and distrust of the
motives of missionaries wear off the
women do indeed freely attend hospitals
stated by male doctors, but undoubtedly
this particular field of women 5 work Will
always continue to need many lahOrers.
Much, too. has been done in the way
of training and teaching young Chinese
women both as doctors and nurses; they
are teachable creatures, very docile and
eager to learn, deft fingered, neat and
soft yoiced-all excellent qualities n
nurse or wOman-but no oriental can
entirely believe in the absolute necessity
for rigid cleanliness and for antiSep-ic
precautions. \ surgeon told me that one
of his most onerous duties was to insist
on his students obeying the ordinary
regulations of an operating room or to
make them understand that they must
wash their hands again if they stroked
their heads or touched their queues. or
again that they must not open a note in
the middle of an operation; consequently

duous work in perpetual supervision of
everything, even to the smallest details.

Another physician said that Undcrfed,

much more liable to colds than these
whose systems are well nourished and
kept in good repair. He declared, and a
number of others who took part in the
discussion agreed with him. that com
mon colds would become one of the most
uncommon things in the world if peo-

II is worth while for everybody TO

No one can have a cold without a lower

opportunity for the germs of other dis

People who have learned by experience
to avoid taking cold have made ii long
