THE POOREST OF ALL PEOPLE
Natives of ths Arctics Who Havt

it la not possible for the Kaklmo to
io much to secure a living One way
Tor the women to product- Mouiethlug
was to cut boles through the ecu Ice,
which reaches a tblckuu** «*f *u feet.
And there they stood Ashing for rock
:od, moat days securtug only betweeu
Ave and ten ttsh. The uiiuston en
deavored to help, but poverty was so
ceueml that all resouraea were taxed
to the utmost.
An outsider has no ldi-u of what
poverty among the Uskimoa means
At the beet of times the wants of an
ICsklmo are few and bis food C4>n
slsts of the coarsest of substances
deal walrus and whale meal form a
large part of their diet, and the blub
bur of these animals serves in the
place of pork or butter.
lu China the famish*-! Inhabitants
•utmisled oa roots or some inferior
vegetation, but here the vegetable
klugdom bos nothing to offer. The
earth Is frosen and deeply covered
with snow and Ice; the birds have
gone south and one might walk for
miles without see lug a living cres
lure. At the same time it Is of In
terest to know eren the*** primitive
people have for ages found a kind of
substitute for food somewhere. Along
the beech, which Is kiuiwn to have
plenty of seaweed, boles ar« cut
through the thick Ice and the sea
weed and mussels pulled up through
the holes, and It la on record that the
Raklmott have euatolued life on this,
one might aey. refuse of (he sea. dur
Ing the long winter mouths.
The Kaklmo has no word for “God"
In hts language, and It Hmn been Ally
marked that the very austere aspect
of life may have helped to exclude
the conception of a superhuman
benevolent Using from the beliefs and
superstitions of lhc*4i people of the
Arctic.
THOSE WHO DO NOT THINK
Eskimos Believe It Is Not Necessary
If They Have Enough
Meat to Eat.
Where the physical struggle for life
Is at Us keenest, sa it u among the
K* k I mo*, the years glide by free from
the more subtle care* aud worries of
the civilized roan. The Kaklmo. says
Mr Knud Rasmussen In “The People
of the Polar North.” does not count
the days, and ker-ps no record of time.
All his thoughts are centered on
bunting
Once I asked an Kaklmo who seem
• ed to be plunged lu reAectlon. “What
sre you tbluklng shout?”
He laughed at my qncstlou, and
•aid: “Ob, It Im only you whltv men
who go so much for tbluklng! Up
here we only think of our AeshjiltM.
and whether we have enough for the
long dark of the winter. If we have
meat enough tbeu there Is no nwd
to think. I have meet and to spare!"
I saw that I had Insulted him by
crediting him with thought.
On another occasion I asked an nn
: usually intelligent Kaklmo. Panlgpuk.
who had takru part la Peary's Inst
north polar expedition:
"Tell me. what did you suppose
was the object of nil your exertions?
What did you think when you saw
the land disappear behind you and
you found yours*-If out on the drifting
lce-Aoes?”
"Think?" sold Panigpok, aatonlahed.
"I did not need to think. Peary did
that!"
Eating becomes the great thing
with the Eskimos. I once excused
myself, when paying a visit, with the
plea that I had already eaten and had
I had enough. I was laughed at, and
the answer I received was:
"There thou talkeat like a dog!
Dogs cau he stuffed till they »ra sab
IsAed and can eat bo more; hat peo
ple—people cun always eat!"
Art and Engineering.
The close connection of the artlstio
and the mechanical Instinct la shown
again In recent developments In
France.
France la doubtless the moat emi
nent modern nation In the world of
art. Rut In the past 30 years she has
come to be one of the foremost In row
chan i cal engineering; as the develop
ment of the automobile and the aero
plane hears witness. Coincidentally,
there has been at least a relative fall
ing off In her standing in art.
This looks as If the demand of mod
ern times hsd turned machine-wards
the genius which In nn earlier day
would have expressed itself with brush
and chisel.
The artist and ths engineer or In
ventor have the same faculty of see
ing a thing before it is finished, the i
same keen sen«e of proportion and |
relation, the snma Intense desire to
put ideas Into concrete form.
When America pause* from her rush
In mechanical invention, she will de
velop an artistic power that will as
tonish the wcrld.

DANCES FOR THE PARENTS

Not long ago a pietureegoe experi

and women who are Interested lu

were familiar lu their youth lit the

a number of hurdy-gurdy players were
persuuded to put into their roachlue*
records of the old native deaoe tunes
to which the reefdynta of the eesl
side hod been accustomed to dance
st home.
Of course the reoorde had first to
be made, hut this waa done and a
number of ths hurdy-gurdies equipped
In this meaner ware started oa a tri
umphant career.
And were they cosesful? Well. It
wasn't a question oa to that. With
the first sound of the well known
•trains the men. women sad children
of the east olds came tripping out of
their houses and with delight and
breaking into tbetr native steps the
minute they reached the nldewalk.
"It was the greatest succees In the
world.” declared ooe of the promoters
of the project. "The only trouble
was that It waa too successful. They
blocked the streets sod the sidewalks
and Impeded tradio so that the police

i Thomas 11. Reed did not "think Im- (

J over American expansion.
Once, when were in the thick of

' Reed, Mr. Choate and Mr G W. Smal
ley were guests at Kllerslle. Governor
Morton's place on tha Hudson The
situation w-a* debated at length and
with great freedom.
“Mr Choate," writes Mr. Smalley
j lu "Anglo-American Memories," “gnva
i us In a forcible and forensic way—
I mid no man could state a case better
—the reasons for keeping the Philip

Mr. Choate, urging that surrender

" What do you suppose the Fili

.American troops?*
" ‘Well,’ drawled Mr. Reed. T don’t
suppose they would pursue us farther
than San Francisco.'
“That ended the discussion," con

Lure of Colonial Mirror.
Gazed there ever n man in the face
of au old rn rror tho life of which
dates back to Colonial days, without
seeing therein sotun thoughts of
jxiwdered wigs, silk brocadoe, charm
ing couples dancing the minuet aud
bowls of punch?
Mirrors of the Colonial period hnvo
survived the ravages of years and
can be found In nearly all tho eastern
states and Canada. It is doubtful
whether any mirrors were brought to
this country much before 1700, for It
was not until 1670 thut they wore
made in Hngland. although ono may
be able to pick up some very old
specimens In Canada, os mirror tnnk- '
ing flourished 1n France In the early '
