Eskimo Lover Must Travel Rocky Road By ADD1E FARRAR When a young Eskimo has decided to become a family man he marches up to the hut of the young woman of hia choice and lies in wait for her. When she appears he seizes her by her long, black hair or by her garments and drags her by force oil to his own particular hut of snow and ice, and so they are married. Even if a native Greenlander should propose to his sweetheart his proposal would not be accepted. In the eyes of her Eskimo lover for a girl to accept an oiler of marriage would be to shame herself beyond redemption. It if her port to appear unwilling, no matter how she may feel, and every bridegroom is expected to gain his bride by force, either real or pretended. In Lapland aa soon as a girl baby is born and has been duly rolled in the enow, a ceremony which takes the place of baptism, her father sets aside for her a certain number of reindeer, branded with her initials, and as they increase and multiply, so does her chance of making a good match, for the maiden with the biggest herd of reindeer is the one that is the greatest belle in Lapland. When some young countryman of this reindeer dowered maiden dis covers that she is the one girl in the world for him he goes in search of a faithful friend and a big bottle of brandy. The friend enters the home of the girl's father, opens the bottle of brandy, drinks with him to the health of the family and girl and makes the proposal. Meanwhile the lover is outside trying to curry favor by chopping wood or some other labor. If the brandy so warms the heart of the girl's father that he gives a favorable reply to the proposal the friend goes to the door and calls in the lover and the two young people are permitted to rub noses, the Lop landers' way of kissing. Two or three years after this the marriage takes place, the lover meanwhile working in the service of his future father-in-law. When the wedding day dawns, if there is a priest handy he reads the service, but if not the ytmng woman's father merely strikes a spark from a flint and steel and names the couple man and wife and when either of them d.s the steel and flint used at the ceremony are buried with them to keep them warm on the long journy to the better land. Eating and Drinking to Promote Health Br Mfisoo Hickox. Springfield, HL The writer has for many years past made a study of eating and drinking to pro mote health. My experi menting has been carried on solely for my own benefit and not with a view to pub lication. I am assuming that practically everyone realizes the value of exercise, rest and fresh air, so that the lack of these is not the cause when wt have ailments. Therefore there must, be some other cause, as the rule of nature is health and any deviation from it is an indication that we have lived uiwiscly in some way and I believe that in nine cases out of ten it is the diet that is at fault For about fifteen years I have not taken medicines of any kind except in the form of food and water and at the same time I hove indulged to a limited extent in drinking and smoking for the sociability and pleasure of it. During all this time I have not hod a severe cold and when I have had any at all I have believed it due either to overeating or improper elimination of waste or both. In my opinion the cause has been over eating. I have gone without a meal, drunk considerable water and eaten an orange and the cold has gone away. Yet as all ailments run their course I am not so sure whether the cold would have disappeared without the treatment If I have thought the cold due to inefficient elimination I have eaten fruits with seeds in them, such a raisins and figs, and green vegetables raw, without any spices of any kind, such as lettuce and cucum bers, and also drunk considerable water. Recently I was annoyed by a sore nose and reasoned that this was due to impure blood. I am 0 the belief that onions ore of great value as blood purifiers on account of the sulphur they contain. I do not believe that sulphur in its mineral form is of much value, as the human system cannot readily assimilate anything outside of vegetable or animal food. So I ate about six raw onions in two days and my trouble disappeared. Many Troubles Man Causes Lowly Tailor By J. B. GEHRING, Now York Men tailors have trouble with - shoulders, waistbands and legs, but legs are the worst. There isn't one man in ten who can make an affi davit that he is neither knock-kneed nor bow-legged. Perfectly straight legs are rare. It's an art to Bliape fabrics over bow-legs 0 that they will not show, and no joke to hide the bends of knock-knees. When a man begins to take on weight it shows first at the belt line, then on the shoulders and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs. In the meantime the tailor has his troubles in keeping his customer from looking top-heavy. The tailor is supposed to take an imperfect anatomy and shape garments over it with such nicety as to produce a superb figure. Iti a trying job. Legs that are over-long are a source of some complaint. The waist coat has to be dropped an inch or two in cases like this. There are knees which are fifty per cent larger than they ought to be great knuckles of bone that are hard to hide. Then there's the thigh, three times larger at the upper end than at the other. Men created on this model ought to be permitted to weor full-seated knickerbockers. Young Women Seek Career in Cities Br Faonii M. Eoright, Philadelphia Girls and young women who live in the country or in small villages frequently have ouly the haziest no tions of the details of life in large cities. They are too often deluded into seeking a "career" or a living amid surroundings with which they are totally unfa miliar. Then they have to suffer unpleasant consequences. For this reason the commission on social service of the Interchurch federation of Phila delphia has performed a real service by issuing a warning to girls through out the country not to go to big cities unless they have been assured of honest employment at more than $8 a week. Country girls working on a farm are frequently lured to the city because they think $6 or $7 good wages. Many come to regret their folly. The Interchurch federation found that the average weekly cost of living for a working girl includes rent, with two meals, $5; lunches, $1.20; clothing and incidentals, $1.80. The commission in its statement says that "so many dangers beset the st'K-Huppcrting woman who has an inadequate wage or is out of em ployment for any length of time that we feel justified in issuing this cau tion 1111J warning."
