ESKIMO WHALE DANCE.
Wtwrr Arctic Natives Feast and Pick
Their Life Mates.
A very primitive custom or ttie na
tives of toe Hertng and arctic coasts
of Siberia, u custom tbat nas come
down from generations ot savage an
cestors, is ttie annual celebration or
the whale dunce, wnen tbe HJsklmos
select their wives.
When tbe sun moves sou tb ward at
the end ot tbe sbort summer season
and tbe ice closes up tbe northern
seas tbe whales come down to open
water. Then. In celebration ot tbe
season's catch, tbe ice dwellers assem
ble for the wbale dance, which lasts
twenty-one days.
The great dance circle is prepared,
and in the center tbe dancers, ootb
male and female. perf6rm tbe most
savage of evolutions and motions to
the accompaniment of rhythm less
beating of tbe tomtoms and weird
chanting. Tbe dance songs tell of the
prowess of the hunters and of tbe
history of the tribe. The movements
of tbe women are surprisingly grace
ful, and they mean to show in their
dance that, as daughters of a great
people, they are- possessed of all tbe
qualities such women should have.
The men execute pantomimic scenes of
the hunt and go through all tbe mo
tions of the kill. They spear the ice
bear, slay tbe walrus and seal and
finally, with extraordinary contortions,
vanquish the mighty whale.
During the last days of the least,
when the time arrives for tne selection
of husbands and wives, tbe man per
forms his mate dance oefore tne wo
man be has picked out. In pantomime
he promises to provide ner generously
with tbe fruit of tbe bunt. Doth food

Bbe walks out and dances ber accept
ance and shows how she will look
after the igloo. When they have
danced before each other they are mar
ried after the custom of the tribe, and
be leads ber off to bis walrus bide
lodge.
During tbe dance they feast on
whale. The skin of the baleen wbale
Is about an inch thick and looks like
rubbert Tbe solid blubber between it
and tbe true Uesb is usually about four
teen inches thick. Tbe black skin and
the blubber, tbe latter cut to tbe thick
ness of tbe former, is called ruoimilt
and is considered a great delicacy it
is eaten raw and. although it sounds
Tepulsive to the civilized ear. is most
palatable. It has a flavor something
like tbat of chestnuts. Youth's Com
panion Prime Numbers.
It might appear at tirst that every
number can be divided by some num
ber besides itself and one; but many
numbers cannot, and if they cannot
they are known as prime numbers. Or
all the numbers having a value ot less
than 1,000, there are 1G9 that are
prime. Of these twenty-six are smaller
than 100. twenty-one appear between
100 and 200. sixteen between 200 and
300. sixteen between 300 and 400.
seventeen between 400 and 500, four
teen between 500 and GOO, sixteen be
tween GOO and 700, fourteen between
700 and 800. fifteen between S0O and

His Vacation.
A woman had a negro cleaning tbe
ynrd for her. His wife had been dead
for several years. So his employer
seized a favorable moment and pro
ceeded to sound him.
"John." she said, "you're a good,
steady man. Lots of women would be
glad to have you. Whv don't you get a
wife?"
John leaned on bis rake and scratch
ed his head reflectively.

Window Cleaners.
The window cleaning platform shown
herewith is of recent design, and a
patent has just been granted. It is
made of moderately heavy wire and is
collapsible, so that it takes up but lit
tle room for storage and is easily car
ried around and adjusted for use.
When extended it acts on tbe same
principle as tbe painter's jack and has
an additional protection in tbe shape
of sides and back to prevent the oc
cupant from getting too far over tbe
edge. There are books which fit
around the sill inside the room and
props which support it from the out
side. Piquant Sfilad In Tomato Cups.
One small cucumber, one teaspoon
ful of onion juice, one-half of a seeded
green pepper, live ripe medium sized
tomatoes, one tablespoonful of olive
oil, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar,
one teaspoonful of sugar, salt and pep
per to taste, a few drops of tabasco
sauce. Cut a thin slice from top of
tomato and scoop out the pulp so as to
form a cup. Now mince tbe pepper,
grate the pared cucumber on a vege
table grater, not using tbe very center
on account of tbe seeds. Add all this
to the tomato pulp, which has been
drained after being taken out. Add
all tbe seasoning and toss together,
then fill the tomato cups and serve on
lettuce leaves.
Pineapple Fluff.

pieces, sugar well, put in a glass dish
and set in the refrigerator. Mix two
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and three
of grated chocolate to a smooth paste
with a little cold milk; stir into it one
quart of boiling milk and beaten yolks
of two eggs. Cook until it begins to
thicken in a double boiler is the best
way. Remove from fire, and when cold
pour over fruit Beat whites of eggs
with a tablespoonful of granulated
sugar and put on top of tbe dish. A
few good sized strawberries may be
used as a garnish around the edge and
will add to tbe toothsomeness of the
combination.
Freshening Stale Biscuit.
If you have biscuits or rolls left
from one day to the next and want
to warm them up, place in a pan and
cover tightly. Two pans the same size
do beautifully. They can then be
placed in a hot oven for a few minutes,
just long enough to heat them thor
oughly, and when taken out they will
be like fresh baked ones, much more
delicious than when dampened before
putting into the oven. Bread and cake
that have become dry can be freshener
tip the same way
Chicken Liver Omelet,
f'ut tbe livers into medium sized
l-ieces and fry lightly in a little butter.
To prepare the omelet itself, beat the
eggs lightly, yolks and whites together;
add a tablespoonful of water for each
egg and season with salt and pepper.
Molt tbe butter in an omelet pan. and
when it is hissing hot turn in the eggs
and cook gently until just beginning
to het. Add the prepared livers. ro:
the omelet up and servo very hot.
Rice With Butter and Cheese.
Take one-half cupful of rice. Boil in
salted water. After twenty minutes 6t
boiling take off the fire and drain.
Then put the rice back into a sauce
pan with three tablespoonfuls of grated
cheese (Parmesan) and three table
spoonfuls of butter. Mix well and
serve as an entree or around a plato
of meat
Green Bean Salad.
Remove' strings and slice the beans
on slanting slivers, boil until tender,
then drain. Season with a little onion
juice, salt and pepper, pour on a little
melted butter or oil and vinegar to
taste, adding a very little sugar if
liked.
Raspberry Molds.
To each pint of the sweetened fruit
juice add one level tablespoonful of
cornstarch dissolved in a little cold wa
ter. Cook in double boiler until thick.
Pour into small cups. Serve very cold
with whipped cream.
Creamed Carrots.

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People
Age has its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter life.
But It is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic,
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symptoms
of belching, drowsiness after eating,
headaches and general lassitude. Fre
quently there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable
remedy. First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic .pills or powders, waters
or any of the more violent purgatives.
What they need, women as well as men,
is a mild laxative tonic, .one that is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
griping.
The remedy that fills all these re
quirements, and has in addition toxic
