The Eskimo Taboos.
)er's Magazine.

From HarDer's Magazine.
TO illustrate one of the phases of the
native religion of the Eskimos, We may
consider the question of food taboos
In the mountains of Alaska, on the up
per Kuvuk and Noatak rivers. and on
the headwaters of the Colville. the pro-
hibitions which applied to the eating
of the flesh of the mountain sheep alone
were as extensive as the entire dietary
section of the Mosaic law. A young girl
for instance, might eat only certain ribs.
and when she was a little older she
might eat certain other ribs, but when
she was full grown she would for a time
have to abstain from eating the ribs
which had been allowed to her up to
then. After a woman had had her first
child she might eat certain other ribs.
after her second child still others, and
only after having FIVE children might she
eat all the ribs. but even then she must
the ribs. IL her child was sick she must
not eat certain ribs. and IL two of her
children were sick she might not eat GER
tain other ribs. IL her brothers child
was sick she might not eat certain por-
TONS and If her brothers wife died there
were still different prohibitions. The
taboos applying to the ribs of sheep had
relation to the health of her children
and of her relatives. They also depended
upon what animals her relatives or her
self had killed recently. and on whether
those animals were male or female

Knights Of the Garden.
From the London Chronicle.


The elevation of Earl Spencer to the
rank of garter knight increases the num-
Der of that august body to thirty. For
merly fixed at twenty-five. its numbers
were increased to meet the growing de-
mands of George HIS family. The orr
gin of this most noble and puissant
order is wrapped in mystery. Two the
cries hold the field. In the one romance
predominates, the other is more prosaic-
Giving romance pride of place, we hear
of Countess of Salisbury and her drop
ped garter, of its replacement by our
chivalrous King Edward III. and OF his
opposite remark to allay the jealous
fears of his suspicious consort- The
more prosaic theory says that Richard
and his knights made a vow to St
George, and to aid their memories tied
tightly beneath the left knee leathern
thong. And il Is this leathern thong
which has become the strip of blue SILK
with its diamond border which kings
number among their honors.

BALTIMORE. Nd, October Is. 1918.
Whether tho progressive party candi-
dates shall be placed on the official ballot
VIII be determined by the circuit court
for Anne Arundel county next week. The
case will come up on mandamus proceed
ings before Judge Brashears, who signed
an order last Thursday directing Secre-
tary of State Graham TO show cause be-
fore Tuesday next at 1 pm. why q
mandamus should not issue compelling
him to place the names OF the candidates
or the progressive party on the official
ballot to be voted next month.
The court action is the outcome of an
opinion handed down this week by At
torney General Poe, at the request OF the
secretary OF state. holding that the pa
pers of the progressive candidates were
filed too late and that therefore they
were not entitled to place on the Official
ballot. The leaders of the progressive
party assert that the papers were at the
office of the secretary at the proper time.
but claim that official was not at his Of
flee, and for that reason the papers were
not filed at the time specified under the
law. Former Attorney General Bonaparte
and William A. Smith will appear for the
progressive party.
State Chairman Macdonald of the pro-
gressive party said today that IL was
political trick. and continued: THE action
of Secretary Graham in raising the ques-
ton of the legality of the progressive can

believe that we have lost. I am confident
that our legal counsels' contention of the
law is correct, and that the court next
Tuesday will uphold our contention. The
law does not make IL mandatory for the
filing of the names withis twenty-five

Joseph X. Baldwin, progressive national
committeeman and candidate for state
controller, gave the following statement
to The Stars correspondent today:
THE secretary of state has seen M to

tanning an opinion that the progressive
candidates are not entitled to place on
the official ballot this year. l now call
upon Mr.. Graham to make public his let
ter to the attorney general In which he
questions the right of these candidates TO
appear upon the ballot because OF pure
technicality.
