Queer Eskimo Customs.
Every ten years the Eskimos hold
the dance to the dead, when ghosts are
supposed to come out of thelr coffins
and visit the Kos-ga, where they are
given a feast, and retire well filled for
another ten years, Sometimes the food
is taken to the burying ground to save
the spirits the trouble of moving
When a child is born among the island
ers it takes the name of the last de
ceased member of the family, and on
it devolves the duty of feeding its fos-
ter father's spirit The Eskimos have
a horror of being childless because
their spirits will languish and thelr
name be forgotten. As they say:
“8'pose no mik-a-nina (children)—ghost

beggar himself, giving a great feast in
honor of his {llustrious ancestor, but
he gains great renown thereby and
places all his visitors onder lifelong

The Poor Little Girl In the Story.
“Time was,” said Lucinda, “that the
poor heroine in the story when she had
a bid to a party got out her one poor
old white dress and wore that. It was
old, and It was worn and shabby, but
she let out a tuck or two, cleaned it
and pressed it and put on a new bow,
and in that poor dress thus refurbish
ed she was the belle of the ball
“But the poor girl couldn't do that
now. No, no. In these days she would
simply have to be in the fashion, and
everybody nowadays, rich and poor,
seems to have good clothes, too—good,
as well as in the style. I don’t know
how they do it. but they do. Oh, my,

old dress now. But 1 love to read

A Tongue Twisting Name,
the big pond that les in the town of
Webster, where the boundaries of
chusetts join, by the last six syllables
of what some insist is its full name.
This saves space on the maps and
provides a reasonable mouthful for the
stranger to Webster's distinguishing
natural wonder. There is, of course, no
sort of authority for the popular cor.
ruption, “Lake Chawyermothersginger-
bread.” The name complete, according
letters, of which fourteen are g's. “For
short” it has seventeen letters, with
only which would hardly
have made the town of Webster and
its lake famed far and wide. The as
certalnment of the full name is a
perennial inquiry. The unwarned in.
vestigator is apt to bé baffled because
