oueer Eskimo Customs.

Every ten years the Eskimos hold
the dance to the dead. when ghosts are
supposed to come out Of their collins
and visit the Kos-ga, where they are
given feast. and retire well filed for
another ten years. Sometimes the food
is taken to the burying ground TO save
the spirits the trouble of moving.
When a child is born among the island
ers It takes the name Of the last de-
ceased member Of the family, and on
1t devolves the duty OF feading its fos-
ter fathers spirit. The Eskimos have
a horror Of being ci1ildles5 because
their spirits will languish and their
name be forgotten. As they say:
"Spose no mik-a-nina tchildren)-ghosT
plenty hungry" Often an Eskimo wilI
beggar himself, giving a great feast In
honor Of his illustrious ancestor, but
he gains great renown thereby ana
places all bis visitors under lifelong
obligations to him.-Wide World Maga

flower seed, but as they may not
supply the demand, we wish to solicit
from any one who is interested in
the identifying of our city to con-
tribute to this cause, either in mon
ey, seeds, bulbs or cuttings.
We hope also to establish some
thing of flower exchange.

you can give and each one helping
others a little, we may be able to
make our already beautiful city a
