Eskimo Characteristics.

The Eskimo are heavy, strong Of
arm and back, and very light on their
feet. They are s~hort-legged, but very
fleet-footed and great jumpers. They
begin to practice jumping as soon as
they can walk. The ~favorite way Of
jumping is to spring up and kick with
the toes Of both feet and come down
again on the feet. Many Of them
can in this way touch a point from IL
to 80 inches above their heads. In
looks they resemble the japanese far
more than the Chinese, but they are
lighter in cor pleXion and very ruddy.
faced. The girls and young women
are good looking. Some are handsome.
Their eyes are a clear brown and very
bright, and their eyesight is marvel.
Gus. Their food Is what the sea pro.
duces, seal, walrus, whale and fish.
The hair seal Is the most useful. 1t
furnishes the skin for footwear, nit
tens, trousers, material for nets, rope
and bags for oil. The flesh Is used for
food. The blubber, which Is the largest
part of the seal, furnishes oil for food,
light and heat. The quantity of seals
seems to be unlimited. Unlike the fur
seals, the hair seal comes
ashore. 1t Is captured In nets ane

TRIBUTE TO DESERT PINES
Well Called Boon to Mankind, Flour.
ishing in Land Where Vegetation
Does Not Thrive.

They are strong, those pines. Their
soft and low-tOned converse is the
pent-up quietness of force. .
Their shade is dark and cool, their
every whisper music, their green q
blessed thing, and the aid they give
to man is far beyond all computation
in a land where other forests do not
thrive. They are not cheerful in q
common way; their looks are somber,
and their shade too deep. But there
is a quiet, a repOseful peace beyond
light joy, and when you seek for that
the pines stretch forth their shadowy
arms to fold you closely in.
They rear their dark green shoulder.
up above the gray green chaparral, say
ing the country from the stain Of being
but a waste of brush. Where an old
placer dump would lie an ugly scar on
natures face springs up a clump Of
straight brown boles holding aloft
thick plumes Of long green needles,
browning the bare and rocky mound
with shafts Of sylvan beauty. They
are not pretty-far too big for that.
Their steadfastness, their cal-l, I'M
swerving growth, will shame all little
ness, and where the giants Of that
mighty race rear their proud tips in
lofty majesty, drinking in sunlight
from the blue toward which they are
advancing, or where they stand like
warriors Of old against the f~iercest
blows, there weakness may not COM
fortably dwell nor aught of l%ittleness,
