The Eskimo Baby.

The clothing Of the Eskimo baby is
often very scanty. In fact, one occa-
sionally sees a baby being carried in
it's mothers hood with only a cotton
shirt on, despite the fact that the ther-
mometer registers 20 degrees below
zero. The mothers hood is the baby's
cradle. Being made Of seal or deer
skin, it is warm and wind proof. The
infant also has the benefit Of the heat
Of its mothers body and is out Of
harms way. If it were laid In a bas-
ket cradle in the tent it would be very
much in the way and would always
be in danger of falling a prey to the
wolfsh Eskimo dogs that prowl round
the door by day and night, ever ready
to pick up q dainty mOrsel.

Hen IrickarY.

Since Australia is at the antipodes
from us the hens there naturally lay
best from May to November, contrary
to the habit of hens here. 1t is now sug-
gested that if a hen after her annual
laying period in the southern hemi-
sphere were rushed across the equator
to the United States she might lay dur
ing the rest of the year at the same
rate and thus establish a new record
for a years production. Still, it looks
like a mean trick to play on poor hen.
