ESKIMOS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
Have No Fear of Death, Are Childlike
x in Nature, Humorous and
J j3; Inquisitive.
In Ilerschel Island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks In
summer, the Eskimos hud u sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety. They hud an Idea that when
the sun came hack 'Its movements
were: directed by an luvislble power,
but the had no tangible conception of
a jjou, VU'hey hud uo belief in a future
Uft either of reward or punishment.
Tojlay they are religious, truthful, kind
to'thelr children and to the aged. They
are 'ambitious to learu: they are prac
tical, 'extremely Industrious, sanitary
In their habits, well clothed aM well
housed. Insauity is unknown, but tu
berculosis Is quite common.
They whale in summer and trap In
winter. They nro clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and Ice,
and take excellent euro ol tneir House
hold effects. Tools, If broken, are
neatly repaired. When at Hersehol
Island or Fort McPherson they eat the
white man's food with great relish. In
summer tlujy eat their llsh and blubber
ruw. nuu in winter irozen.
The Eskimos have no fear of death ;
if told that death is upproachtng they
will respond with a complacent smile
They are a very happy people. Their
natures are childlike and they do not
continue In the same frame of mind
for two minutes at a time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
inquisitive. Their emotions are sud
den and short-lived uproariously hap
py one moment and almost crying the
next.
SWIM TEN FEET i A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed In Scion
tlfio Study of Habits
of Fish.
.The speed at which fish can swim
Is summarized by the Scientific Amer
ican from recent studies as follows;
."A Belgian authority, G. Oonll, while
studying lisliwuys, concluded thut sal
mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me
ters a second for at least 14 meters.
4 'Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves
tigations in the Frnzer river, expressed
the opinion thut the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which a sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
tance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, H. von Bayer of the
United States bureau of fisheries de
clared that the velocity of the current
in1 ilshwnys should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan
tially In agreement. From his own
studies on Ilshwnys In Massachusetts
Emerson Strlnghum found that -a com
mon species of nlewlfe could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet a second, about the
limit for flshways."
Get Out of the Rut.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you arc be
coming? )
True, your dally duties are perform
ed In a way which seems to suit the
boss, but you Jog on in the same old
way, day In and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long do you figure that you can
continue to make good by this course?
Ever think-of changing the methods
used by ynu for the past several
years, and which lifted you out of tho
ranks of the ordinary nt the time you
ndopted them, but which arc passe at
tho present time?
Oh, you nre becoming too prosaic.
; There is not enougli variety in your
life.
Sock outdoor exercise! you nfod it,
and you should mingle with men of
up-to-dntc Ideas; you should visit oth
er establishments in your line of work
and see how things are being done
there.
,-Yon are in a rut.
Get out before it Is too late.
Every-Day Courage.
' The courage of the rush forward, a
moment of high purpose horn of a
sudden Impulse, that Is one sort. Then
(Wore Is the stlck-to-lt courage, and
that is of great value; Still an
other is the simple resolution to do
ithe obvious right and best thing nt the
hno'uient, without (lemur or timid de-
Iny, nhd that is tho most Important
of all.
The quiet courage of every day,
that does its host hour by hour, and
accepts as part of the day's work
the losses and penalties that the
steadfast doing right must often
bring tills Is the highest courage of
I all. It wins no medals. It is never
lauded as heroism, even- Its posses
sors seldom think of It ns bravery
or fortitude, yet it Is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat,
and makes the common life of the com-
mon people strong and safe.
' Japanese Village.
Few people realize that in the United
States there Is n village composed en
tirely of Japanese, who live their lives
Just lis they did before leaving the
Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot
of interest Is north of the long pier,
a mile from Santa Monica. Here Is
the home of a number of- Jnpnnc,x
fishermen. Their nntive dress, food
and the dally routine of their lives are
carried out as though the little vil
lage were on the far shore of Nippon.
On Sundays are to be seen the nntive
sports of the Jnpnnese. The geisha
girls servo ten and bonbons to visit
ors', while the young men display their
prowess nt wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other oriental' pastimes.
