WHERE ESKIMO IS SUPERIOR
Home Life Declared by Stefansson to
Be Practically Ideal— Hoapltoble
In the Extreme.
Vllhjalmur Stefansson, in writing
of his 13 months’ stay among the Es­
kimos. tells of their great klntlneaa
to a guest who could not pay for his
keep, says Harper’s, a strange; whose
purpose umoug them they »lid not
know, thus:
“In an Eskimo home I have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child
punished nor an old person treated In­
considerately. The household alTalrs
are carried on In an orderly way and
the good behavior of the children is
remarked by practlcalfy every traveler.
“In many th'ngs we are the superi­
ors of the Eskimo and In a few we are
his Inferiors. The moral value of some
of his superiority Is small.
He can
make better garments ngalnst cold
than our tailors and furriers; be can
thrive in barren wastes where a New
Englander would starve.
“But of some of hla superiority the
moral value Is great. He hrfs devel­
oped Individual quality further than
we, he Is less selfish, more helpful to
his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler
to his child, more reticent about the
faults o f his neighbor than any but
the rarest and best of our race.
“When I tried to express thanks for
their kindness In my fragmentary Es­
kimo, they w£re more surprised than
pleased.
“ ‘Do, then, in the white man’s land,
some starve and shiver while others
eat much and are warmly clad?’
“T o ’ that question I said ’No,’ al­
though I knew I w ’ hs lying.
I was
afraid the compatltlve system could
not be explained to them satisfactor­
ily; neither was I, being the poor­
est among them, very anxious to try

He sat In front of the post office
every working day throughout the
year. No one seemed to know his reul
name, but the townspeople called him
Armless John, and being otherwise
remarkable for a peculiar kind of
stammer, he was for some years the
object of pity. Around his neck fee
wore a sign hearing the following rath­

apple tree of the orchard, she sat

lg«fore the hero of all her girlish fan­
cies had come home from college, In a
lieutenant’s uniform. Ever since he
had first donned long trousers and re­
fused to speak to the grade girls and
boys, Jane’s whole-souled devotion had
been hla. Now that he was a man nnd
a soldier, her little heart throbbed
pitifully as she remembered hla Indif­
ferent sm ile of welcome.
What
chance to win his affection would she
have with ail her wealthy cousins and
their friends, every one almost as fond
of her hero as she? So all she had
was her helpless dreaming, but It was

8tlrred Up a Pudding.
One Sunday some friends of ours
were spending the day with us. While
I wns preparing dinner the woman
came into tlie kitchen nnd asked me
If there was anything she could do to
help me. I told her she could stir up
n chocolate pudding. She fixed it and
w hin It came time for our dessert my
husband, who Is ulwnys saying tilings
he hadn’t ought to, remarked: “Edith,
this Is tlie poorest pudding I ever
knew you to make.”—Exchange.
Perfectly Safe.
“Now." said the physician to the
poet who had summoned him, "you
«re not in good health, and I must
forldd nil brain utork.” “Put, doctor.”
protested the poet, “may I not write
some verses?” “Certnln!y." the doc­
tor said, “write nil tlie verses you want
to.’’

8cottlsh Presbytery, Le«« Than a Cen­
tury Ago, Duclared It» Playing
Contrary to Law.
The organ, ns an addition to tin-
muHiral service in the Presbyteriau
church, was under a Inin less, than a
hundred years ago, according to u
writer in the Manchester Guurdinn. re­
calling the first organ made by James
Watfc It was a small chamber organ.
In form like a« hanuonhim, which he
built for his own use. When lie moved
to Blrmlngiiuin the organ w as.left lie
hind and came into the possession ot
the minister und session of St. An
drew’» church, Glasgow, of whic’h
Watt had been u memlter. The Instru­
ment was used for weekly choir prnc
I ices, hut was shrouded under u green
baize cover on Hundnys. as though in
disgrace. In 1806 permission to use ii
was refused by the city council. Then
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrange­
ment, the church attempted to use tin
or gun without the council’s consent.
An organist from a neighboring Epls
copal church was called In. He played
the organ while tlie Inst psalm wns
sung. There was so much exciteim m
over the affair that a hitter contra
versy followed. The presbytery de
dared it was contrary to law and ill
constitution of the established church
and it was prohibited in nil church»«
and chapels within their bounds. Sixtj
years later St. Andrew's church got it*
first organ peaceably.
