FOOD TAFOOS IN ALASKA.
Queer Dietary Rules That Are Part Of
the Eskimo ReIiaisn.

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
upper Kuvuk and Noatak rivers, and
on thn headwaters' OF the Colville. the
prohibitions which applied to the eat.
ing 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 time have to abstain from
eating the ribs which had been allowed
20 her up 10 then.
After woman had had her first
child she might eat certain other ribs.
after her second child still others. and
only after having had FIVE children
might she ent all the ribs: but even
then she must not eat the membranes
on the inside Of the ribs. II her child
was sick she must not eat certain
ribs and IL two Of her children were
sick she might not eat certain other
ribs. II her brothers child was sick
she might not eat certain parts, and
II 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 herself had killed recently
and OF whether those animals were
male or female.-y. Stefanssen In

GRANITEVILLE.

II is understood that Henry Il, Nugent,
former resident Of this place, is to sever
his connection soon with the Rhode Island
Company. He has for some time past,
been in charge of the company's electric
freight Office on Dyer street, Providence.
Mr.. Nugent has had long and rather
notable career as a railroad man. He be-
gan his work in that line many years ago
as agent at Centredale Station, when the
road running through this section was the
Providence & Springfield Railroad, His
efficient work attracted attention and he
was called to an important position in the
freight department OF the N. Y N. IL x
H. X. X. at Providence. When the Provi-
dence & Danielson electric railway was
completed, Mr.. Nugent was placed III
charge of its freight business and the large
amount Of freight that was done by the
railway, was proof of his energy and
capacity. Several years ago he assumed
charge OF his present position. Mr.
Nugent was at one time interested in town
affairs in Johnston aud represented the
town for several years in the General As
sembly. He is recognized as an unusually
capable man in his department of railroad
work.
