DRESS OF THE ESKIMO.
Made hy the Women From the Skins
of Northern Animal.
The chief material of the clothing of
tho Eskimo Is tho skin of the reindeer,
which Is used in various stages of pel
age or tanning. Fine,' sljort haired
suminor skins, especially those of does
nnd fawns, are used for making drear
garments and underclothes,, .The heav
iest winter' skins furnish extra warm
Jackets for cold weather. The white
spotted skins of the tamo Siberian roin
duor are GKpoclully valued for full
dresig Jackets.
The skins of the white mountain

A Habit to be 1:iicouiiis;c(1.
The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup
to which children are susceptible are
quickly cured by its use. It counter
acts any tendency oi a cold to result in
pneumonia, and if given as soon as the
first symptoms of croup appear, it will
prevent the attack. This remedy con
tains nothing injurious and mothers
give it to little ones with a feeling of
perfect security. Sold by W. P. Mc

Into clothing. Underjackets of elder
duck skins are often pressed Into serv
ice. Sealskin dressed with the hair on
is used only, for,, breeches and boots,
and for those "rarely. Of lato years
drilling nnd calico have been Intro
duced Into the makeup of some of tho
minor garments.
The dress of the men consists of a
loose hooded frock without opening ex
cept at the, neck nnd wrists. This
roaches Just over the hips and very
rarely to midthlgh, where it Is cut off
square and usually confined by a girdle
at tho waist. Under this garment Is
worn, a similar one of lighter skin nnd
Momctimcs without a hood. The thighs
are chid In one or two pairs of tight
fitting kuco breeches, rather loose, but
fitted to tho shape of the leg. They are
very low in front, but are much higher
behind, sometimes as high as the small
of tho back. They are held la place by
a girdle or thong around the waist and
are 'usually fastened below the knee
over the boots with a drawstring.
Ou the legs and feet nre worn, first, a
pair of long deerskin stockings, with
the hair inside, then slippers of tanned
sealskin, In the bottom which Is spread
a layer of whalebone ulmviugs and out
side a pair of close fitting boots, held iu
place by a string around the ankle,
which reaches above the knee and
ends with a rough edge covered by the
breeches. Dress boots cfteu end In an
ornamental border, with drawstring
Just below the kneo. tThe boots are of
reindeer skin, wlthl white sealskin
solas for winter and llrr weather, but

m Summer waterproor boots of wmie
whnleskln are worn. Overshoes of the
same material, reaching Just above the
ankles, are sometimes worn over the
winter boots.
The women wear tight fitting deer
skin pantaloons, with the hair next the
skin, and outside of these a similar
pair made of the skins from deer legs,
with the hair out, and having soles of
sealskin, but no ankle strings. The
women's pantaloons, like those of the
men, are fastened with a girdle Just
above the hips. It appears that they
do not stay up' very well, as the wo
men are continually hitching them up
and tightening their girdles, like some
old sailor. .''
Until they reach manhood,the boys J
wear pantaloons like the--women, but
their Jackets are cut Just like those of
the men.
The well to do Eskimos generally own
several complete suits of clothes and
present a neat appearance when not
engaged In dirty work. The poorer
classes wear one suit for all occasions
until it becomes shabby. New clothes
are seldom put on till winter. The
outer frock is not often worn In the

off I'efore entering the room.
At present there Is no such thing as
an Eskimo tailor, for the women of
each Eskimo household usually make
the garments o,? all the members of the
family. Not only thi3. but the Eskimos
are extremely conservative la the mat
