Primitive Eskimos.

Ten years among the Eskimo, Ave
Of which were spent among the so
called blonde Eskimo" of the Macken
zie delta and Coronation gulf districts
Of the Arctic, is the record of Rev. Ed
ward Hester, a Church of England
missionary.
The Coronation gulf Eskimos are
very primitive, he states. Their weap
ons consist of bows and arrows made
by themselves. Raw meat is their
principal food diet, the diet varying
only with the hunting seasons. In
seal-hunting time seal meat is the
daily bill of fare; in caribou time
the caribou only is eaten.
Though the Eskimo may have both
seal and caribou meat on hand at the
same time, his peculiar beliefs forbid
him to eat seal meat at caribou time
and vice versa. Neither may he eaI
land meat, such as caribou, when on
water or ice, so he lives on seal meat
When he takes to the land in the
spring he must not eat seal flesh. The
breaking of either Of these rules will
call down upon his head the wrath
OF the departed, who are always very
evil spirits, says the Eskimo.

"Mr. Russell has a rat barrack on

The forests are there to be used, and
II. as we utilize the trees, we make 1t

That Is the way the scientific for

the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter Of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettabIe
ruthless cutting Of spruce and FIR for
the Christmas tree market In northern
states, many Christmas trees are now a
by-product Of the forests. There are
small trees In every properly managed
woodlot that must be sacrificed so
that the others may have room to
grow. These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries. Baby spruce and
fir trees are planted by man so that

ALWAYS A GROWING CONCERN
Impossible to Set Boundaries That
Shall Confine the Growth OF
the English Language.

William Shakespeare's vocabulary
was about 1880 words. John Milton
needed only 5000 different words for
Paradise Lost" while the Old Tesla
ment has fewer than 5000 different
words. Some people use only about
300 different words, and most Of US
get along with between 1900 and
5000. A few years ago some peasants
In rural England, farm laborers, were
found who used about 300. Prof. Max
Muller (1S23-1900). the great Oxford
philologist, who was perhaps the
greatest authority of his age on this
subject, put the number Of words In
the English language at 100000. eff
we include all the words which have
fixed places In the dialect Of the coun-
try" says 'sThe Book Of knowledge"
"and include also many which we
know were spoken In earlier times, we
shall have to put the total at 100000

Der is constantly growing. When q

Chinese Idea of Goldfish,

It is said that there is a universal
belief among the Chinese that the finer
kinds of goldfish are raised from the
eggs of the silk moth. According to
the belief of the Chinese the silk moth
lays its eggs on fresh brick or tile,
and this is placed in shallow water and
exposed to the sun. In several days,
they hatch out minute larvae and are
fed on pond slime, developing rapidly
into gorgeous goldfish.
Great care has to be used In the
preparation of the water, but the
process may be aborted by an inter.
vening thunderclap, which sometimes
makes such havoc with the eggs that
they hatch out frogs or scorpions In
stead Of the much desired goldfish.

REVIVAL OF CLASSIC GREEK
Western Newspaper Welcomes Poe
sibility of Its Becoming, In
Time, World Language.

Were one to Judge from the fuss
made from time to time, one would
suppose there was real need of an in.
ternational language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court in Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence of
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Elizabeth's father, Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro-
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings Of voltaire
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended In
fabricating artificial language, such
as Esperanto, to serve as the medium
Of communication. But such construc.
tons have no chance Of practical adop-
ton, nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There is a language, however,
which is gradually becoming again a
living one, and which as world lam
guage would be ideal. The Greek uni.
versities and Greek men of culture.
Including Venizelos himself, are en-.
gagged In an attempt TO restore classi-
cal purity and perfection to modern
creek. It is said that the endeavor
Is by no means vain, and that gradu-
