A custom of the Eskimos, which Il­
lustrates in a striking manner , the
character of the people, is thus de­
scribed by l>r. S. K. Hutton in his;
work, “Among the Eskimos of Labra­
dor:“
“It was a queer dinner party. The
table was pushed into the corner and
littered as usual with emthes and books
and relics of work hastily laid aside.
Dinner was spread on the floor. The
center of the feast was an enormous
pot. heaped with lumps and slabs and
ribs and joints of raw seal m eat
Round the pot the family squatted,
every one except the baby, armed with
a businesslike knife. Cutting off pieces
of flesh or gnawing at bones, they
munched and. chewed and smacked
their lips with great relish.
“So busy were they all that perhaps
I was the only one to notice a slow,
shuffling step passing the window. The
footsteps turned into the porch, and I
heard the dogs yelping as somebody
cleared them out of the way. A grop­
ing hand felt for the latch, and thedtoor
silently opened. A voice said, ‘Aksuse’
- ‘Be strong, all of yon*—and Apkik, a
young man of the village.' came in.
choking and coughing at the sudden
warmth Nobody seemed to take much
notice, but John gave a laconic ‘Ah!’,
in answer to his greeting, and the cir­
cle widened to make room for the new­
comer
“Apkik sat down and pulled a knife
out of his belt 1 watched him pity*
ingly as he helped himself with lean
and shaking lingers. It was not long
before he was satisfied, for he was
sadly listless and weary, and with a
simple ‘Nakomek he wiped his knife
upon his trousers leg and slowly went
out. Again nobody took much notice.
John said ‘Ah!’ and Apkik shut the
door after him
< •‘1 was mystified by this strange lit­
tle drama, and 1 suppose that I showed
ray wonder in my face, for John an­
swered the question that was in my
thoughts, just as if I had asked it.
‘“ We all know Apkik,’ be said. ‘He
is a floor young man who cannot hunt
or work for himself, and we know that
he cannot work because he is ill. I did
not invite him to come, but he is quite
welcome. No poor man lacks for a
meal as long as there is food. It is a
custom of the people.’ ”
