AN ESKIMO STORY

AIN h0A1HO OlO64
AS a conjurer he was an awful liar,
says DR.. Marsh, who translated the
story for the Alask a Yukon magazine.
He was always saying the wonderful
things he could do in that line, but
he did not hold up his self-given rep
utaton.
At night all the men used to congre
gate in the common hall, called the
'ekadigi,' to see or to work charms;
so Chalagula came to the hall to con
jure, with his feet all wrapped up in
a thick winter deer skin.
When he thus entered the alley way
to the kadigi the people were all scar
ed very badly, so badly, in fact, that
they were afraid to leave the hall for
fear that he would put spell on them
in their absence After he had sung
a few "devil' songs he went home.
The frightened ones Just barely
peeked out of the doorway, and even
though they did not see him they
would not dare to 90 home till day
light And they had to sleep all day.
At daylight Chalagula went out on
the ice to try to catch seals, and was
successful.
At aight as usual all the men went
to the kadigi and lighted it up, and
performed the ceremonies
Some of those who were wont to
meet hid under the edge Of the cliff,
fearing that Chalagalu would put
spells on them. Chalagalu went to the
Those hidden under the cliff saw him
enter.
Chalagalu went out Of the kadigi to
go to his own house, but he could not
run little bit, for his feet were tied
up with the skin.
Then some of the men from under
the hill went into the kadigi one at
time. One of the men, thinking to
scare the rest, said as he was ntering
he coniured all he could to kill Chala-
galu. But in the morning, as one of
the men rose, he saw Chalagalu going
out to the ice, so he went into the
kadigi and told the rest.
1t was night again. The kadigi be-
ing full, it was lighted A very old
man who was wise in all knowledge
was called to come to the kadigi to
try his luck at working a charm on
Chalagalu. He was very wise man,
and he knew how to make a man s
legs 50 they could not stop running;
so he cast his spell on Chalagalu,
thinking that if he could not stop
running they would get rid Of the I'M
desirable.
At daylight a man was looking at
him and his legs woke him up wanting
to run. Then Chalagalu woke up run
ming and went out on the ice at once
for seal. When he got to the blow
hole Of the seal he wanted to stop,
but his legs would not stop. So, still
carrying three-legged stool, he ran
back to land and could not stop even
there, and ran on and on and on.
While still running he saw house
with window aglow. Catching hold
of the side of the house, he managed
to stop, and lifted up the corner of
the window, oh, just very little bit.

TRANSMITTING TUBERCULOSIS.

The vexed question as to whether
or not bovine tuberculosis can be
transmitted to mankind has been def
nitely settled in the affirmative by the
work of the English Royal Commits
sion, The German Imperial Commits
sion, and numerous private workers in
various parts of the world" said DR..
NJ. p. Ravenel, Director of the Wis
consin state HYGIENE Laboratory in
an address before the National Asso-
citation for the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis at Denver. Special en-
phasis must be laid on the work at
the Research Laboratories OF the New
York City Department of Health" con-
tinued DR.. Ravenel. This work shows
that all children under fi9e years OF
age, % per cent of those who died of
tuberculosis were infected by the bo-
vine germ; of children between five
and sixteen years of age, 30 per cent,
anu VI duulI0, y pei ''ht' II iuVo
ton has narrowed to the relative i'm
p%ortance of bovine disease compared
with the human as a source Of infec-
ton. 1t will be many years before
this can be determined.
when upwards of 300 children die
from bovine infection in city (New
York; each year, certainly no good
argument can be brought against tax
ing every precaution against the in
lection of children by the bovine
germ. All nations in the world are
giving much attention to the control
of bovine tuberculosis. An Interna-
tional Commission appointed by the
American Veterinary Association made
its report last September after a year
spent in careful study of the ques-
ton. This report should be widely
read and its provisions followed as
nearly as possible. A strict quaran-
tine on the Importation of diseased
cattle should be maintained in all
countries.
"In the United States the various
states should adopt similar laws and
attempt to unity their practices. For
| cities, the tuberculin testing of all
cattle furnishing milk is recommended
and the Punishment of reacting cows
from herds supplying such milk. In
the absence OF such laws pasteuriza-
ton under careful supervision must
be resorted to. Properly done, this
i~nsures safely, but in practice, it is a
difficult matter to carry out on a large
scale"
