Peculiar Nile Fish.

Near the African continent sea fish

rect European influence, the natives ut
iaching more importance TO the rivers

ried on almost as it was in the days OF
the Pharaohs. by lines and dipnets, the
latter worked from the bank. and
shaped something like long-handled
shrimp push net. or by cropping in the
mud as the waters recede after the
food.
A very popular fish that is taken in
the latter way is the bichir, which is
about IS inches long, and is covered
with hard, bony scales. In the same
manner the Arabs Of the upper Nile
catch what they call the thunder ish.
which averages n foot in length. and.

NOT TROUBLED BY JEALOUSY
Social and Domestic Customs Among
the Eskimos Are Simple and Eas-
lily Arranged

An American missionary il the au-
thority for the following description
Of social and domestic customs that
prevail in certain part of the arctic
regions: If woman is childless, she
often asks her husband to select an
other wife. so that the home may be
blessed with children. She has no
band generally .l'eats both with equal
respect The sys%rm of poygamy
works both ways. for some Eskimos
adhere to the single standard. In n
tribe Where there are more men than
women woman may often be al
lowed second husband, provided she
has the approval Of her first husband,
and her love for some unmarried man
does not necessarily lessen her re-
gard for her husband, who may he old
or weak, and hence Il poor provider.
Younger man may prove real as
set 10 the family Even If it is case
of simple infatuation, no deception Is
practiced. The Eskimo woman reveals
her feelings to her husband who, IL
the lover is worthy. rarely refuses his
consent for his wife to go away With
this rival for ascertain length OF time.
If the man happens to have wife OF
his own, the abandoned husband will
often propose to his wife that she. ar
range matters with the wife of her
lover, so there VIII be mutual ex-
change of spouses for time.
