1 %! | £ +X ESKIMO OF THE FAR NORTH REPORT TELLS OF LIFE IN THE FROZEN REGION§S. Polygamy Is Fast Dying Out Owing to the Efforts of the Missionary. Special reports of the officers who were appointed to take a census of the inhabitants of the Far North have been compiled by the census and statistics branch at Ottawa. These reports are of more than orâ€" dinary interest at least from an ethological, if not from a statistiâ€" cal point of view. & M. Fabiem Vanasse, historioâ€" grapher of the Canadian Governâ€" ment steamship "Arctic‘ under Captain Bernier, was Afihhd .n take the census of Baffin Island took in addition the census of Kiâ€" kenek, or Port Burw:fi, on the south side of Hudson Straits. His report contains the following interâ€" esting remarks as to conditions amongst the Eskimos. *‘‘The lamps which are used by hundreds Eo light and heat their iglos, as also to cook with, are nothing more than a stone block of about eight to ten inches in cireumference in which is carved a semiâ€"circular cavity about three inches deep. This cavity is filled with seal oil, then a wick made of dry moss is placed around this bow!, and when this primitive wick is well soaked with oil it is lighted. The lamp gives a dim light and produces a heat of about two or three degrees, This affords all the light and all the heat which is enjoyed by the Eskimo during his existence in his house of snow. The yearly value of the hunt for each Eskimo hunter is placed at $300 or $1,000 on the premises. If this forsaken one of civilization were living in the proximity of our competitive markets, if he knew the value of the products of the hunt, if he was more concerned about the future, in spite of all the inconveniâ€" ences he has to suffer from the inâ€" hospitable climate where God has glaced him. But unfortunately the iskimo has no idea of the economic¢ values he holds in his hands after his slaughter of 10 or 20 polar bears, his capture of 25, 30 and sometimes 100 foxes, of two, three or four narâ€" wals, of eight to ten wolves, of hunâ€" dreds of large salmon, each weighâ€" ing 10, 20 or 30 lbs., and which he throws to his dogs. Besides this he is cheated odiously each year by the skimmers of the sea who visit him to collect his furs. At the tradâ€" ing counters he exchanges for a few pounds of biscuits and tobacco, a few quarts of molasses, pipes, matches and some few yards of showy cotton goods, his silky furs of the greatest economic value. None Yery Old. "Generally speaking, the Eskimo does not attain a very advanced age. Some have been met, however, aged C0 to 65 years. The average length of life of this people is from 35 to 40 years. There is no settled ag>o for domestic pairing. There are couples of nine and twelve years; then children live together in the iglo as man and wife. The chief provides regularly for the wants of his companion. After a few months, and even a few years, of this apprenticeship in married life, if any friction occurs under the iglo between the two apprentices, the couple separate without noise, and for the two life has to begin over again. A Christian can hardly honor with the name of "marriage‘‘ the unions formed under the iglo of the Eskimo. These unions are, for the most part, simply promiscuous pairings. But it must be said, to the honor of the Eskimos of Baffin Island, that this sad state of affairs tends more and more to disappear among these tribes. The zealous work of the Anglican unions among this people during thirty years has largely contributed to diminish, or even extirpate entirely this pagan vice, destroyer of the family and doâ€" mestic happiness.‘"‘ M. Vanasse writes that he has met with only one case of polygamy in taking the last census, and the Isky who acâ€" Delays Sometimes Expensive Business or social enâ€" gagementâ€"just a few minâ€" utes for lunchâ€"can‘t wait for service. What can be had quickly ? with fresh berries or fruit and cream. They will be served immediately, they are nourishing and taste mighty good, too. | Sold by Grocers Post Toasties Canaiian Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Windsor; Ont. * Order â€"â€"every where w knowledged it seemed to be ashamâ€" ed of it. The visit to the domicile, or the iglo, M. Vanasse writes, is not what one may think. The iglo is of cirâ€" cular form, eight feet in diameter and as much in height, It is made of blocks of snow, the Jo&:ia’ at the bottom, on & kvel"i'bfi groun it is about one foot ard a half wide by two feet high. It is not every one that garn pass through it easily. To g& in one must at first get on his knees, then lie flat on his stomâ€" ach and slide in, snakeâ€"like, for a distance of about ten or twelve feet in this tube of the same dimenâ€" sion as the door. One never gets in and comes out of it spotless, for this vestibule is bot kept in an exâ€" aggerated state of cleanliness. Once in the iglo you are asked to sit on a block of snow, which is covered with a deerskin. In less than five minutes you are covered with the hairs of this fur. But after a few visits to the domicile one does not notice these small details. The inâ€" terpreter is alongside of you. Naâ€" turally this brave man the sage of the village, has no idea of what constitutes a census. He has to be made to understand the questions put to the head of the iglo. There are English and French _ words which have no equivalent in the language of the Eskimo. Thus, for example, the words ‘"years," ‘"‘months,"‘ "days,‘‘ "hours,"‘ are donominations of time absolutely ignored by the natives. These are so many mysteries to them. \ "*Married or Single." ""What is you age?" was invariâ€" ably answered by "none savi mi.‘" Then, M. Vanasse writes, he had to enter a conversation, carried on much more by gestures than by the voice, with the interpreter, in orâ€" der to make him understand the question. This done, the interpreâ€" ter and the hunter, or the wife of the latter in his absence, made endâ€" less calculations. It was a review of all the important events in the country, from as far back as the hunter could remember, and the farthest away event was used as a , basis to determine as near as posâ€" sible the date of his birth. There is another dificult point for the \Eskimo to elucidate. There was a |grcat deal of trouble in the beginâ€" | ning to ascertain from the head of | an iglo if he was married or single. The word marriage is absolutely unknown among the natives; the | same with the words "child‘" and same with the words "child" and ‘"family."" M. Vanasse writes that he managed to make himsel{ underâ€" stood by asking first if they had an iglo, a koney, a pikâ€"kiâ€"nini. Now the head of the iglo is Osky ; koney is his wife, and the pickâ€"kiâ€"nini the children. Each child has his tame and constitutes by himself a sepaâ€" rate unit. Here is an example: the Osky Nassou has three sons, namely Ikâ€" tonâ€"ta, Kakâ€"ton and Proâ€"mikâ€"ton. We do not say Ikâ€"tonâ€"ta Nassou, etc., as we say in the Christian world John Smith, ete. In twenty years from this, when a new generâ€" ation will have grown up, who will know that Ikâ€"tonâ€"ta and his broâ€" thers are the sons of old Nassou! With such a system it is difficult to preserve family traditions. As to the month of their birth, it is a mystery to themselves, they do uct know this subdivision of the yeut. In reality there are only two seaâ€" sons for the Eskimo: "summer‘ and the ice season "winter.‘"‘ As the winter lasts nine or ten imnonths of the year the greater number of births is in winter. The same difâ€" ficulty exists as to the number of animals slaughtered or captured by the hunter during the year. The Eskimos count easily up to ten; above that their mode of calculaâ€" tion is long. M. Vanasse, whose report is datâ€" ed October 24, 1911, concludes that if the Government of Canada wants to preserve these relics of primitive humanity they will very soon have to put a stop to the depredations, flupders and thefts of which the skimos are the victims on the part of the rovers of the sea. The Govâ€" ernment of Denmark has shown a noble example in this respect in favor of the Greenlaad Eskimos. Tuan Chiâ€"jui is Named Generalissiâ€" mo, With Wide Powers.

Cannibalism in Cuba sounds pretty strong, but it exists here just as truly as it does in darkest Africa, says the Havana Post. Cannibalism means the eating of human flesh by other human beings, and the voodoos in Cuba do just that, as the case of the sixâ€"yearâ€" old boy killed at Minas Camaguey is evidence,. The cannibails of Cuba do not place their victims on a spit and cook them barbecue fashion or roast them like turkeys in great pans, as they do in Afâ€" rica, but they do eat the hearts of their victims If they get the opportunity, as the evidence brought out in the Camaâ€" guey trial demonstrates. â€" This eviâ€" dence shows that the voodoo woman Mercedes Reclo told Juan Pino, the faâ€" ther of the small negro boy whom he instructed how to kill the white boy, that the whites had never done anyâ€" thing for him, that he was bowed and bent now with rheumatism from carryâ€" ing ammunition during the revolution, and the whites had reaped all the beneâ€" fit of his work and had given him noâ€" thing in return. "There is only one thing that will cure you," this black female fiend told the old man, "and that is the heart of a white child. Eat of the heart of & white child and you will be cured." _ Cholera infantum is one of m most fatal ailments of childh and during the hot summer months thousands of little lives are lost by its ravages; The best way to guarj against it is to give the baby an dccasional dose of Baby‘s Own Tablets: The Tablets never fail to regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus preventing ch>lâ€" era infantum, diarrhoea, dysentry and all other stomach and bowel complaints. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr: Williams‘ Medicine Co.; Brockville; Ont: The Reclo woman wanted the blogd of the little victim, too, because she thought it would cure her of tubercuâ€" losis, and she told Pino to get the heart for himself. He then instructed his son how to kill. He told him that "from the jugular vein you can get the most blood," and showed him where it was. The little negro then invited the white boy to go with him and eat manâ€" goes. He told the judge how he had attacked his victim and for fear he might escape had first cut off his legs. He then cut the jugular vein so he could get the blood for the Recio woâ€" man and then tried to get out the heart so his father could eat it. This horrible practice is due to the densest ignorance. These voodoos do not kill from passion or for money, but because they are so ignorant that they think it wili do them good to get the blood or the heart of a white child. Such ignorance reflects no credit on Cuba. There are at most only a few thousands of these voodoos or canniâ€" bals in Cuba, and if foreign missionâ€" arles have been able to convert the savage tribes of Africa from their canâ€" nibalism, surely the government ought to be able to do the same here. Robin Knew a Thing or Two and Hatched Its Brood. A correspondent of the Scotsman tells of a robin which recently chose a novel site for its nest. After havâ€" ing been frustrated twice in an atâ€" tempt to built on the top of a wardâ€" robe in different rooms, it finally selected a shelf in a wallâ€"bookcase in the diningâ€"room, halfâ€"filled with ornaments. Behind these it piled up a large nest, made entirely of withered leaves, dry green moss, and a little hay. The nest was comâ€" pletea in less than three days. Then the robin disappeared for a week, but it did not desert its home and within a fortnight five eges were laid and duly hatched, the parent birds sharing the labors of incubation and feeding the young. A window was left open and it was amusing for the next fortnight watching them busily occupied in supplying the nestlings, first with flies and insects and later with worms, while butter stolen from the table was an irresistable luxury. Four weeks from the date when the robin began to sit, the feedglings were out of the nest, and after twentyâ€"four hours in the house they were able to fly to shelter outâ€"ofâ€" doors, and were soon lost to sight.

Eugene Fiset Was Man of War From Boyhood. The Deputy Minister of Militia :s 3 man of war from his youth up." If long service is any justification for promotion in the militia, he is abundantly qualified. He went inâ€" to camp with his regiment at the age of ten: Ho comes of a milâ€" itary father. He is the son of Hon. J. B. R. Fiset, of the Canadian Senate. His father was Lieut.â€"Colâ€" onel of the 89th Regiment of Riâ€" mouski, and he took his sof with him to camp at the age of ten. Young Eugene Fiset went as a buâ€" gler, and his first taste of military life decided his fate. He was caught with the military spirit. He loved the life he stayed with it: At sixâ€" teen he was provisional second lieuâ€" tenant in his father‘s regiment; in five years ho was lieutenant; and three years after that he was major. He is now full Colonel in the perâ€" manent force of the Dominion, and has qualified for the rank of Burâ€" geonâ€"General. Colonel Eugene Fiset, D.8.0., has an active service record, of which no soldier need be ashamed. He went out to South Africa with the first Canadian contingent; and he was thrice mentioned in the desâ€" patches for bravery under firo. Colâ€" onel Fiset be it known, is not only a military man; he is also a surâ€" geon; and it was as a euccorer of the wounded that he won his honors on the veldt. The first occasion on which he was mentioned in the despatches was the first day at Paardeburg. The incident it thus told in the official report sent home by Colonel Otter : stt ‘‘The company stretcher bearers exhibited great pluck, and five of them were among the wounded ; three were wounded in carrying Capt. Arnold from the firing line, the stretcher on which he was beâ€" ing made a special object of attenâ€" tion by the Boer marksmen. In connection with this incident I must note the courage displayed by Surâ€" Capt Fiset, who, when the stretâ€" cher on which Capt. Arnold was DEPUTY MINISTER OF MILITIA being brought to the rear was stopped a short distance from the firing line by the wounding of one of the bearers, went forward and attended to Capt. Arnold, and subsequently assisted as bearer in bringing him to the rear. Capt Fiset also attended to many of the wounded under fire during the day." } Appointed by Special Act. The present organization of the medical service of the Canadian militia bears the impress of Colonel Fiset‘s abilities. Soon after his reâ€" turn from South Africa he became Staff Ajutant for the Medical Serâ€" vice, and in 1903 he was appointed Directorâ€"General of the Medical Service, and the service was put on its present basis under his superâ€" vision. He entered upon these duâ€" ties with the rank of Lieut.â€"Colonel but a year later became full Colâ€" onel!l of the Permanent Army Mediâ€" cal Corps. He still holds this rank a.lthoug' he has been seconded for duty on the civil side of the militia, and on July 23, 1913, he became qualified by service for the rank of Surgeon â€" General, which corresâ€" For this act of bravery, Capt. Fiset was given promotion on the field of battle, and on March 1, 1900, only a few days after Cronje surrendered, he was gazetted as Major of the Army Medical Service in the Imperial Army, the rank which he held throughout the rest of the campaign. He stayed in Bouth Africa till the war was over and returned to England with Colâ€" onel Otter. He was on the field in every important action in which the Canadians participated, includâ€" ing Popular Grove, Dreifontein, Hout Nek, and Zand River ; and for his bravery at Paardeburg and in these other engagements he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, which was bestowed upon him by Earl Minto on Paardeberg Day, 1903. Colonel Fiset inherited not only a love for the army, he inherited also a love for the science of Aesculaâ€" pius. His father had been a militia surgeon before him ; and the young man followed enthusiastically in the parental footsteps. He obtainâ€" ed his early education at Rimouski College, and thence went on to Laval University, where he graduâ€" ated in 1896 at the age of twentyâ€" two, with the title of Bachelor of Medicine. It was as a medical man that he served throughout the South African campaign, and on his way back to the Dominion he took specâ€" ial courses in London and Paris in the treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He is thus well qualiâ€" fied to serve his country in a civil career as well as in the militia. Col. Eugene Fiset, D.8.0. Gazetted as Major. Colonel Fiset enjoys the honor of having been made Deputy Minâ€" ister by special ligislation of Parâ€" liament. He was given this office in December, 1906, when heâ€"was only thirtyâ€"two years of age. He was not a member of the civil serâ€" vice, and consented to accept the office only on the condition that he was allowed to retain his rank in the permanent force: For these reasons, it was necessary to deal with his appointment by special legislation. He retains not only his rank in the permanent army, but retains also his pension in that body So toâ€"day a professional soldier is the permanent civil head of the Canadian militia.â€"Francis A.

Under the head of ‘"Ircland, the Provisioner of Britain,‘‘ the Irish Industrial Journal, gives an interâ€" esting analysis on the subject of the food supply of the Islands. This is little unglerstood, for the importâ€" ance of Ireland as a provider has not been adequately recognized evâ€" en by Irishmen themselves, and the methods of organization, transportâ€" ation marketing and distribution remain unadvanced and unimproyâ€" ed, despite the great increase in the trade.

In meat Ireland leads all other countries for value of export to Great Britain. The value of Irish meat of all kinds exported to and retained for consumption in Great Britain in 1912 was $85,000,000, and was greater than the value from any other country. It is encouragâ€" ing to read that Ireland is rapidly increasing her export of goods for consumption. In 1904, when reâ€" cords were first kept, Ireland‘s exâ€" ports of food and drink amounted to $80,000,000. In 1912 they had adâ€" vanced to $115,000,000.
