Eskimo CARVING.

All Of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools, but there is work
in existence that dates back to the
stone age. The older Eskimos say that
their ancestors used tools of flint. and
it is known that they have been cary
ing ivory for many generations. Some
of the very poorest of them and those
that live in the most out Of the way
places are noted for their work of this
kind. They seem to do it for pastime
and make many toys and dolls for
their children. They have way of
softening the bone, horn or ivory be-
fore they work it, and to make the
carvings more distinct they etch lines
on the surface with black paint made
of mixture of gunpowder and blood.
This. when put on the freshly cut bone.

COMPLAINT of the Stupid.

It Is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid they would know that
there is absolutely no such thing as be-
ing misunderstood, and therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be gain
ed by complaining about it.
Wise people who want to be under
stood do not spend their time COM
planning, but in perfecting some means
Of expressing themselves by which
they may reveal to the world about
them some slight remnant, at least, of
their souls or their minds or their ideas
or their discoveries or their eccentrici-
ties or whatever it is they want to
make known.
When you complain about not being
understood the only thing you make
clear is that you are complainer.-
Puck.
