THOSE WHO DO NOT THINK
Eeklmos Believe II Is Not Necessary
II They Have Enough
Meat to Eat.

Where the physical struggle for life
Ia at its keenest, as 1t is among the
Eskimos, the years glide by free from
the more subtle cares and worries of
the civilized man. The Eskimo, says
Mr.. Knud Rasmussen In 1.-THE People
Of the Polar North" does not count
the days, and keeps no record Of time.
All his thoughts are centered on
hunting.
Once l asked an Eskimo who SEEM
ed-te be- plunged N reaection, What
are you thinking about?" = ~
He laughed at my question, and
said: "Oh. 1t is only you white men
who go so much for thinking! Up
here we only think of our fesh-pits,
and whether we have enough for the
long dark of the winter. If we have
meat enough then there is no need
to think. have meat and to spare!"
/ saw that l had insulted him by
erediting him with thought.
On another occasion | asked an I'M
usually intelligent Eskimo, Panigpak,
who had taken part in Peary's last
north polar expedition:
Tell me, what did you suppose
was the object of all your exertions?
What did you think when you saw
the land disappear behind you and
you found yourself out on the drifting
ice-hoes?"
Think said Panigpak. astonished,
81 did not need to think. Peary did
that"
Eating becomes the great thing
with the Eskimos. once excused
myself, when paying a visit, with the
plea that | had already eaten and had
had enough. I was laughed at, and
the answer l received was:
There thou talkest like a dog!
Dogs can be stuffed till they are sat
isfied and can eat no more; but PEG
ple-people can always eat!"

Art and Engineering.

The close connection OF the artistic
and the mechanical instinct is shown
again in recent Developments in
France.
France Is doubtless the most emil
nent modern nation in the world of
art. But in the past 80 years she has
come to be one of the foremost In me-
chanical engineering; as the develop
ment Of the automobile and the aero
plane bears witness. Coincidentally,
there has been at least relative fall
ing of in her standing in art,
This looks as II the demand OF mod
ern times had turned machino-wards
the genius which in an earlier day
would have expressed itself with brush
and chlsel.
The artist and the engineer or In
ventor have the same faculty Of see
ing a thing before 1t is finished, the
same keen sense of proportion and
relation, the same intense desire to
put Ideas into concrete form.
When America pauses from her rush
In mechanical invention, she will de-
velop an artistic power that will as
tonish the world.

THE POOREST OF ALL PEOPLE
Natives Of the Arctics Who Have
Enough to Eat Are Considered
Very Fortunate.

have not known SO poor a winter
during the whole of my stay among
the Eskimos (now % years., says q
writer in the Christian Herald. While
the coast is ice-bound, the days short,
snowstofms frequent and the ther-.
mometer often 40 degrees below zero,
1t is not possible for the Eskimo to
do much to secure living. One way
for the women to produce something
was to cut holes through the sea ice,
which reaches a thickness of six feet,
and there they stood fishing for rock
cod, most days securing only between
five and ten fish. The mission en-
deavored to help, but poverty was SO
general that all resources were taxed
to the utmost.
An outsider has no idea of what
poverty among the Eskimos means.
At the best of times the wants Of an
Eskimo are few and his food con.
sists Of the coarsest Of substances.
Seal walrus and whale meat form a
large part of their diet, and the blub-
Der Of these animals serves in the
place Of pork or butter.
In China the famished Inhabitants
subsisted on roots or some inferior
vegetation, but here the vegetable
kingdom has nothing to offer. The
earth is frozen and deeply covered
with snow and ice; the birds have
gone south and one might walk for
miles without seeing living crea-
ture. At the same time it Is Of in
terest to know even these primitive
people have for ages found a kind Of
substitute for food somewhere. Along
the beach, which is known to have
plenty of seaweed, holes are cut
through the thick Ice and the sea-
weed and mussels pulled up through
the holes, and it is on record that the
Eskimos have sustained life on this,
one might say, refuse Of the sea, dur
ing the long winter months.
The Eskimo has no word for God
in his language, and 1t has been fifty
marked that the very austere aspect
of life may have helped to exclude
the conception of superhuman
benevolent Being from the beliefs and
superstltions of these people Of the
Arctic.

The efficacy of this modest ad.,
which appeared in the classified col

for not accepting these offers were

WINDOW SHOULD BE
i TRIMMED OFTEN
BY A. E. EDGAR.

How many people pass your store
In day? II the average is ten
minute in the eight busiest hours of
the day 1880 people must pass your
window. This number, 1890, repre-
sents what, in newspaper parlance, Is
called daily circulation.
A good advertiser will change his
advertisement in his local paper
often, and for similar reason the
advertiser should change his window
trims frequently. This is an easy
matter for almost any store. 1t Is not
necessary that every elaborate detail
be changed two or three times a
week, but 1t is worth while changing
some portion of 1t. The up-to-date
window is trimmed on unit idea,
except when some one line OF goods
is featured exclusively. 1t should be
an easy matter to remove one or
more of the central units and replace
them with others. When this Is done
the background and display remains
In place for week or so, while the
central portion, or foreground, Is fire.
quently changed
Price Cards Profitable.
There Is not the slightest doubt
that iudicious use OF price tickets
and window cards will pay well for
their cost and the time expended In
their making 1t has been proven,
also, that neat, plain window card
is much more valuable than one that
is glazing and sprawllngly artistic"
The window card is small thing
in itself, 80 is the newspaper adver.
tisement. AS the latter is an impor-
tant link in the chain of publicity SO
should the window card be thing Of
gense and meaning. Such expressions
as, We'll treat you right" 1--WE sell
at lowest prices" I'VE have the lar
gest stock in town." while of some
value are not nearly so desirable as
some definite information or sugges.
ton about some line or article on dis.
play.
1t is safe to say that the messages
oChb Oub COunIdnIly tulOubh nv
dunn are bearing fruit every day. A
card that is suggestive will always be
sure of having people who read it
think and ponder over the induce
ments offered. The good work these
cards do may not always be easily
traced, but they have done good for
others and to all classes Of stores.
A clothier and haberdasher of Chi
cago has stated that window cards
made out Of plain wrapping paper
with a carpenters blue pencil, were
the means of building up a successful
business for him.
