THE KOGMOLLYCKS. Something About More Northerly rellow-Canadiaiis. A n-port received at the Mounteil Police Department at Ottawa from Seigt. I'itzgerald, a very capable of- ficer, who until recently was in com- nmnd of the Mounted Police post at Fort McPherson, which is well up in the Arctic circle, contains con- .sideroble infonnation with respect to the Eskimos and their habits. "Tlic Kskimos belong to this shore," he writes, "aro called Kog- moll.vcks. There are two tribes, one being Co-puck natives, and the oilier Iferschel Island natives. They are fairly well built, the men aver- aging .â- ) feet 3 or 1 inches in height. All the older men have their lower jaws pierce<l in labrets, and the wo- men have their chins tattooed. Of late years the.y have stopped this, aixl men and women of about tvven- t.v years have no marks. There are about 2.")0 Kogmollycks, but they are \er.y dirty in their habits ond never wash. "The Minatalmutes, or De"rmen. are inland Kskimos. Their hunting grounds start from about forty niilirs from Iler-chell I.^binci, on lieaufo:-t .Sen. and run west of Point Harrow. They are a strongl.v-built people, the men being about ."> feet 7 or 8 inches in hi'iijht. Tho older natives have the labrets and tattoo- ing, tlie some as tho f^ogmoll.vcks. They number in all about 100. There are a few families of F'skimos from liering .Straits who call themselves Masinkas. There is no marriage law with them. When a man is ready to take a wife, us a rule about the age of eighteen, be goes und lives with her in the hou.se of her parents. That is the only form gone through. If they cannot agree they separate, but the.v gonerally get on Well together. There aro always a few medicine men in each tribe. If anything is about to hnpjien he has a dance and tells the tribo all about it. If a native is siek the nie<licine man is called to drive the devil out of him. If the nnliv.'s can get a doctor Ihey nlwnys prefer it. so il would seem that they do not put much faith in the m dt'iiie man at the present time. I have found these natives very honest, and all the time I have been at llerschell Island I never heard of a case of stealing ninong them. They are a very hos- pitable people, and if a stranger comes to their house or tent ever.v- thing they have is at his disposal. They are very healthy-looking, but I do not think that the.v live to a great age. as there are few men over lifly years of age among them. Kight died last year. The F.skimo is very much like tho Indian. He will do anything to get llipior." KEEP CUILDUKN WELL.

Kven in the remote polar regions there are post olbces within the in- ternational postal union. I-'or two a-nts a postal card can be sent, at least during the short tourist summer season, writes (ion. A. W Greely in the Youth's Com- panion, from Ausiralia, in the southern hemisphei-*-, or incleed from an.vwhero else in the postal union, to the far away N'orwegian jjost otlic" on the shori'« of Advent Bay, in Ice I'"joixl, on tho western coast of .Spiizbergin, which is the most northerly postal station in the World. Along the barren strip of coa.st of both east and west Greenland a few hundred Panes and lO.'Wl Kskiraos forn. the most northerly settlements of the round earth. Here news travels â-  under an adverse environ- ment, with the iceclad sea on tho one hand and the eternal ice cap on continental Greenland on the other. Hut news, although it be long in arriving and although the word theie stands for all occurrences prcv- ii.'iisly unknowt'.. is eagerly sought bj' the cultivated Danish men and wo- men, who give their best effort, liri;ely fi om a spirit of self-sacrilice, to promote the welfare of the native Grei'iilfiiiders and of the KskimoS, who constitute the main population. The regular mails arrive in Green- land between -May and August by four slow sailing ships. In olden time'i the earliest nevvs came from Kurope by the DAIHXO .SCOITISH WUALEKS, but tho almost comp'etc di.scontinu- aiice of the whale fishery in I>avis Si rait and adjacent «\aters has put an end lo this servi.e. Tho Gi-.-enland postal s. rvice is iiniquo, if for no other reason than that it carries all letters without either stamps or charges. Letters for Greer.lund go free by the ships of the Hoyal Trade, but as these ships touch only at the larger ports there ore four local boats, u.sed or- dinaiily for freighting and oil. which servo to distribute the more important mail packages from the port of arrival to the adjacent trad- ing stations. In tJreenland. however, b.v far tho greater part of the news travels by means of that nu)St extraordinary sea boat the Kskimo kaiak. which is. as Crant/ pointe<i out more than a century ago. the most serviceable of all types of boat, its size con- sidered. Shaped like n weaver's shuttle, of a length of eighieen fivt, and made of oil-tanned sealskin, the kaiak is onl.v eighteen inches wide in its broadest part and scarcely a foot deep. Its sharp ends at the head and stern are strengthene<l with an edge of hone that torr.ilnates in a knob. These carriers of news encounter endless dangi-r in their long and lonely vo.vages. Sometimes the sea is covered with a dense haze, while the spray, freezing as it drives, cov- ers with an ice crust both the kaiak and the paddler's clothes. Some- times a gale .sets in. and the unfor- tunate kaiaker, with empty stomach and Wet garments, plies his paddle for hours without being able to lift his hand to protect or thaw out his forslbitten face. Yet with utmost patience und imcompiaining effort the Kskimo mail carrier passes from the one .settlement to another with- out boasting either of courage or endurance. SKVK1{AI> TIMKS KACH YEAR a kaiak post travels from southern to northern Cn-enlnnd. and as a rule tlK> extreme points are Juliane- haab and Omenak. liven under fav- orable circumstances the journey oc- cupies about five we^ks. and the ox- pen.se account amounts to some $80. tiixvnland has its newspapers. •Since 1»«2 there has been printetl at Godthaab. in Kskimo text, a news- paper, with the title of Atuagagtlli- utit. that is, "Something for Head- ing." of which about sixteen tplorto sheets are publishetl annually. Among the news arti' les therein pufj- lishe I niv .such as describe the perils of the kaiakers. the fortune of hun- ter.<j at sea after walrus and seals, and on' land after reindeer ond the pola." bear. j When ono turns to the inhabited ' Wris of .^vctic Amoricn. it is found j t'^at nevvs travels almost entiivl.v by I chance nuvtings of thv» i:.skiino« or' other natives, although occasions I are not unknown where couriers have been .sen', to carry news that was of special import to a family or .set- tlement; and. as occasion reciuires, the wandering Kskimo families send a courier telling of abundant seal? and lands of musk oxen, or in dirt scarcity asking how elsewhere goes tho hunt. Arctic n-ws that travels relate? almost entirely to means of main- taining life, and this applies to polar expeditions and to regular denizens of the barren regions of the white north. Such messages as pass to and fro are not simply news, but rather brief statements of hard '.conditions with a view to their a! ' leviat ion. ' I recall Franklin at Fort Enter- j prise. Hudson Bay territory, when j he wished to .send to Chippewyan the news that an influx of starving Indian bands in wint -r threatened to doom hi.s own partv to destruc- tion unless powder and other sup- plies were soon received. Hack und Hollanger carried the news, which in- volved foot travel of more than ELEVEN HUNnUKP MILE.S. It was a winter of extraordiiiary se- verity, wlieu trees froZe- to their centres, axes in use broke ilaily. and the temperature .sank in Franklin's bidroom lo 70 degree's below freez- ing. Back travele<l on snowshoes, slept in the open air with 110 cover- ing but u deerskin and a single blanki't, and more than once was two days without food. Tho hardships of the news carriers may be imagimil from Franklin's de- scription of Hellanger when he ar- rived in the darkness of the polar night: "His> locks were matted with snow and he was encrusted with ice from head to foot, so that we scarcel.v recognized him when he burst in on us." It is only by similar emluranc-e and suffering that news travx'Is now tn some Arctic localities. A complete narrative of how the news of critical conditions in the field has reachwl the main party of j Arctic explorers would include some of the most striking examples of I energy and courage in the annals of ; histor.v. For instance, the news of Uho fall of /.aninovich through a j snowbridge into a deep crevas.se of Middendorf glacier, Kranz Jo.sef Land I traveled to the party that rescued him through the supreme elTort of Prayer, his commander, who says: "I pressed on at the top of my spi-etl. Uathe<l in perspiration. I threw on my birdskin garments, my boots, my gloves and my shawl, and ran in my stockings through tho deep snow. • • • Encompa,s.sed by glaciers. I vras absolutely alone. • • • With head bent down I trudged on, counting my steps. • • • After seven miles of travel, at last I came to the friends we had left behind." If others have not olwa.vs strug- gled with as intense an effort an Pra.ver. yet many Arctic men have omulale<l his courage ond endurancs under stress of dire emergi^ncies. IN' THE POLAU REGIONS man's power Is often manifestly in- adequate to send news by messenger to any other centre of iiuman ac- tivity. Then the unique news e.x- chnnge of Arctic explorei-s becomes of prime importance. It is the building of a cairn, so that he who comes after will iind therein a mes- sage telling of tho.se who have pas.s- ed. To fulfil lis missi.)n as a news carrier, tho cairn must not onl.v bo .so built as t ) keep safely the news record from .'tress of storm and as- saults of wild Sensts. but It must be so placed that as a protninent feature of the landscape ii will caicii the e.ve of the pa.ssing traveler, no matter from what quart'-r he comes and by its form at once impress him as being the work of human hands. Of all the fateful cairns 'he most important from an Arclic point of view was that put up by the men of Franklin's lost expedition near Vic- tory Point King William Land. It contained the only absolutely au- thentic news that ever traveled to the great World from Franklin's party, comprising 129 .souls. This brief document, scarcely 2."0 words, tc.ld the story of Franklin's exploratiims during the three preced- ing years of his early success, of his d.ath. of the be.setment of the ships, of their pband<>nment and the plans of tho tO."^ surviving souls, who then passed forever from our direct know- ledge. Fourteen years had ehu>sc>d since I'lar.kl'n saile<l. and for eleven years this cairn giinnled its news until 1S.5P. when through the wifely di>- votion of lady Franklin and thn nifignlficent efforts of McCiintock in the Fox Lieut. Ilobson found tho p.'c-cious document ^
