Flavel Scott Mines, in Harper's Weekly. How Peter Won Juliana. STOIIY OF AN ESKIMO MARRIAGE. The little Eskimo settlement of Ka jartalik was in a great state of excite ment. For a long time young Peter Ma nasse had wanted to marry pretty Juli ana Marie Andreas, but because of the opposition of the girl's parents and brothers he had been unable to accom plish his desires. To the villagers the opposition of the relatives had seemed to be wholly unwarranted, for Peter wa3 a most likely young Eskimo. lie had a beautful kayak, with two harpoons and a bird spear, two fish lines and two hooks, beside a net with which to scoop out the little salmonoids that throng the water there at certain seasons. More over, he could use them as well as any one that had ever paddled that way. Further still, he was courageous. Once in early spring, when the field ice had filled the fiord for several days in such a way that no one could go seal hunting,. Peter, haviDg seen a seal on an iceberg, ran across the floating ice cakes till he could strike it, and so, in spite of the dangers relieved the pressing need of the colony, However, the relatives of the girl re mained obdurate, while she looked on with apparent indifference, and so poor Peter sighed in vain until at last his father determined to interfere by giving a great feast to all his neighbors. It was the ancouncemcnt of the date of the feast that had excited the people, and not without reason, too, for if during the course of the lestivities young Peter could manage to pick up and carry away the pretty Juliana to his lather's house, the matter would be; settled ; she would be constrained by the usages of polite Eskimo society to accept the bold lover, while the relatives would not be allowed to interfere once the young man got his sweetheart safely at the door of the hut. It appeared that the Manasse familj had had the feast in mind for a lonr time, for, now that it was announced, the people remembered that both father tnd son had been very assiduous in look ing after their traps during the winter, and had taken many foxes. The pelts had been carefully prepared and de posited at the store of the white man. Among other things obtained in exchange were three kinds of hard bread, a large supply of coffee and enough tobacco to last a long time. It was when the father and son carried home these things that the feast was announced and everybody knew that a very great feast it would be. When the afternoon arrived Mrs. Manasse placed three flat stones close together nol very far from the entrance to her house, and built a fire of driftwood and faggots from the tiny forests hard by. Over thh was placed a big iron pot bought of the whites, long before. The pot was filled with sea water, and into it she placed as many big chunks of seal meat and seal fat as would serve to make the founda tion of a most nourishing and savory Eskimo stew. To the seal meat she had added enough ptarmigans and hares tc "ive each member of the community one, and thereafter she carefully tended the fire so that the mess simmered gently and continuously, and the broth was kept well replenished. Meantime a host of youngsters gathered about the fire, sniffling the odors and dancing with on another and singing a song that related the trials of an Eskimo lover who, hav ing failed to win the object of his de sires, went away and married a wild goose, a song very popular on such oc casioDS in Eskimo land. But the older part of the community kept strictly within the huts. By and by, when the stew was donf to the taste of Mrs. Manasse, she called her husband from their hut, and there upon he began shouting at the top of his voice : "O-e-yo! O-e-yo!" which is an Eskimo word of invitation to eat boiled meat. The people all came out so quietly that a stranger would have surmised that thej Had been waiting, perhaps not without some impatience, for the word to come. Gathering about the fire, they all squatted down in a circle. Then Peter's father, with a seal rib sharpened at one end, dexterously picked a piece of boiled meat from the kettle and passed it to Mr. Andreas, who was sauatted by his side. Mr. Andreas put as much of it as possible into his mouth, and then cutting his bite clear with a knife he had brought with him for the purpose, he passed the chunk to the next person on his right. A tin can full of the soup followed the meat in its travels around the circle, each man drinking a swallow and pass ing the can along growler fashion the men being served first and the women and children afterward in succession. Then the bread was passed around, so that each one had a biscuit, and in the meantime coffee had been boiled on a fire in the hut by one of the Andreas girls, and this was brought out ani passed as the soup had been. It was a remarkably fine Eskimo feast, and no attention was paid to anything but the eating, save by the two most in terested persons present, young Peter and pretty Juliana. As for Juliana, she was seated on a rock on the side of the circle furtherest from the Manasse door way, and was keeping a bright lookout for every motion that Peter made, being determined to give him such a tussle as he had never dreamed of whenever .he Btrove to capture her, as he was sure to do before the festivities were ended. Peter was waiting until when, after the edge had been taken from appetite, the oldest woman in the village would get into the centre of the group and would there entertain everybody by con torting her face just as children do mak ing faces. He had noticed, wily fellow, that the old woman's doings always con vulsed pretty Juliana, and he guessed that if he were ever to capture the girl he must make his rush at tho climax ol the fun, when the old woman, with bulg ing eyes, wide, extended mouth and pro truding tongue,' would call herself Quarnat the moon. It was, therefore, with beating heart and rising emotions that he watched the well-known pro gramme of the feast pass on till at last old Marie Tirra stepped into the ring and began, the fun by looking square at pretty Juliana and then drawing one side of her face into a rejaarkable grimace. ' Under ordinary circumstances Juliana would have roared with laughter, but this time her eyes had been wandering elsewhere, and she had seen, looking over the shoulder of her father and past the head of her unaccepted lover, an oomiak or great boat full of strangers coming around the rocks at the entrance of the little harbor, while two men in kayalks paddled beside the oomiak. In stead of laughing she jumped to her feet and shouted 'Strangers ! Strangers I" It was a most startling event In the history of the little settlement. At the sound of the girl voice every body stood up and looked toward the strange boat. Then all flocked down to the landing and greeted the newcomers by shouts and inquiries regarding their health. It was a cordial meeting in ap pearance only, however, for according to custom, one of the strangers had to wrestle with a picked man of the settle ment, and under a very old custom the stranger, if defeated, could be killed by the victor a custom now obsolete. Now, the party of strangers included an old man, his wife, two sons, a daughter-in-law and several children. The sons were in the kayaks, and it was the unmarried one who led the way to the landing. As he stepped from his kayak the villagers by common in-tinct turned toward young Peter Manasse. He had had hard luck in wooing a wife, and here was his opportunity to show his prowess such as he had never had before. In some way probably from the chatter among the gossips the young stranger seemed to apprehend the con dition of affairs in the village, and looked at one after another of the maidens stand ing behind their elders and glancins shyly at him when they thought h( wouldn't observe them, until at last hit eyes fell on Juliana. Her beauty of fact and form would have convinced a les observant youth that she was the on sought for, but had anything else been wanting, her quick flush was enough t betray her. Thereat the young strangei picked a great dead swan a very ran bird in those parts from the top of hi$ kayak and carried it to the feet of prettj Juliana, who said not a word, thougi she smiled very brightly toward hei mother. Then the youDg man said: "My name is Habakik. Wbx is il that will meet Habikik?" and young Peter Manasse stepped from tho group and said that it was he. The two eyed each other and then, as white athletes would say, began to wrestle catch-as-catch-can. It was a mighty and mem orable struggle. No such match had ever been seen by any one present. Witli equal strength and skill they pulled and pushed and lifted, hither and thither, about the level beach, till both wen flaming red in the face and bathed in perspiration. Then the' foot of th stranger slipped and he stumbled for ward, head down, under Peter's right arm. A shout went up from the vil lagers, but before Peter could take ad vantage of the slip Habikik had grabbed the young man about the knees, lifted him from his feet and threw him heavilj with his back on the sand. And thertj the two lay panting, while blood oozed slowly from Peter's nose, the shock ol the fall having burst a small blood ves sel. After a minute or so, when both had partially recovered their wind, they ros slowly, and the villagers began once more giving the strangers a cheery wel come, in whiqh, though crestfallen, Peter joined heartily. As. he stood before Ha bakik, saying it had been a fair fight and well won, he saw the pretty Juliana, her big brown eyes watching the blood flowing down his face with a look of con cern in them that no bright young Eski mo man could mistake. She was just ,juts"de of the group of villagers, and her father and brothers had run down to help draw the strange oomiak on shore. Juliana, catching the eye of Peter, turned her head very quickiy away, and then the long disappointed lover reached her side with a jump, picked her up in his arms, and fled away in triumph to his father's iglu, and there they re mained till the rest were through with the feast. A week later the moon was full. Juliana received from her mother a new scraping knife and a new butcher's knife, and from her father a lamp made of a hollow stone. The white trader gave her a very fine, large iron kettle, a coffee pot and a great quantity of bright colored goods, and beads enough for a new collar a foot wide, which, under the circumstances, was a very decent thing for the trader to do. Juliana, as wa3 said, was a very pretty girl. Then Juli ana and Peter went to the house of the native ircaclier, and in the presence of all the people were married according to the Lutheran service, for nearly all Greenland Eskimos are Lutherans. When Juliana had married him Peter went to live with his mother-in-law, ac cording to the U3ual Eskimo custom. Eskimo wits never make jokes about the mother-in-law. It would not be in good form. The Eskimo mother-in-law rules the household. She can even command a divorce, the process being a simple one. 5he orders her unacceptable son-indaw out of the house, and when he obeys, a3 he always does, she throws any personal property after him that he may have left behind. Both the young people are then free to marry again. The Eskimos do not marry cousins. A man could always have as many wives as he couid support before the Danes di9 Douraired polygamy, and it was the rule for a man to take one of the sisters of his chosen sweetheart. It is said that ihe old practice is still adhered to, though without the sanction of any religious ceremony. It occasionally happens that a newly married couple do not begin housekeep ing at, once each instead remaining home. On the other hand, some young men set up a separate establishment at once by building a new iglu or house. Even then, the husband is not unlikely to have his wife's parents come in and live with him. When the new husband goes to his wife's house one end of the low platform, used as a bed in the house, is curtained off to form the bridal cham ber, and in front of that the young wife may set up her own lamp if she choose. The bridegroom is expected to make a present to his wife's parents, even when he has to fight to get her or when he is betrothed to her in early years. In the old days he had to buy her. Neio York Sun, Hew a Tunnel Was Completed. The creat St. Clair tunnel which will carry the Grand Trunk Railroad under the St. Clair River from Port Sarnia, Ontario, to Port Huron, Mich., has been richly productive of engineering feats and phenomena, one of the best and simplest of which is related by the En gin&ring Neics. The tunnel was exca vated by a sharp-edged cylinder, -which was forced through the stiff clay by hydraulic pressure. As the clay oozed through the apertures in the advancing shield it wa3 dug away and carried off. So stiff and sticky was this clay that or dinary shovels were bent out of shape in handling it, and the only tools that would stand the service was a narrow, long-bladed English ditching spade, which was imported for the purpose,but progress with these tools was exasperat ingly slow. A journeyman cooper who was out of a job secured employment as a laborer in the tunnel before the work had prog gressed very far; but he was unacccus tomed to the handling of both shovel and spade, and decided that he could make a tool that would beat the slender spade every time. When he next came o work he brought an odd-shaped draw knife, made of a piece of heavy band iron and two wooden handles. Tho cooper's fellow -laborers made fun of the novel tool, but when they saw him shave down the clay with it twice as fast as it could be chopped out with a spade,their derision ceased. The engineers in charge quickly recognized the value of this sim ple adaptation, and all the laborers were soon furnished with the new tools. Subsequent progress in driving tho tunnel was the most rapid that has ever been made in tunnelling, the average rate having been 455 feet per month. Living With a Fragile Constlttitisn. "We are constantly hearing," said the d ctor, 4 'that this man or that who ha lived to very old age inherited a strong constitution. But I have -known many very old people who were born with a very feeble constitution, which perhaps helped to extend their years, for thoy learned in early life to take care of them selves. The most remarkable case of this kind known to me is that of the late George II. Calvert, who died at Newport when over eighty-fcur years of age. He was always very slender, and I doubt if he ever weighed 100 pounds. Such muscle as he had was soft and infantile. He was so weak that you would never think of saying he was weak as a child, for most children are far stronger than he was. Yet he spent his life in reason ably good health, and had a mind that was always active and often aggressive, that was full of poetry and gave heed to business. The secret of it was that he did what men with strong constitutions are apt to neglect. He guarded his health all his life long. He was careful Df his diet; he took plenty of fresh air'; he never sat up late; he enjoyed the sun ihine ; he refrained from evil ways, and he kept his temper always placid. By these means, notwithstanding his chronic fragility of constitution, he lived a long and happy and useful life. I couid tell you of other cases of the same kind. The man with a fragile body who takes care of it will often outlive the man of powerful frame who neglects it." New Tori: Sun. For His Own Coffin. George W. Piper, of Sebewa, Mich., formerly a merchant, is dying of con sumption, and has developed a quei mania for economy. He is a man of con siderable means, and is sane on all othei points but that of his own funeral. A week ago he took a laborer with him in to a swampy piece of woodland and cut down a lot of red cedars. He had the logs sawed into boards and took the boards to the best cabinet-maker and sur prised that workman by ordering him to build a coffin to measure, ne said he did not propose to have the undertakers make anything out of his dying, and he made a contract with the village express man to carry that box to the grave. 3Ir. Piper watches that cabinet-maker a1 work and sees to it that the job i3 not slighted. He is growing weaker everj day, and cannot totter to the workshop to superintend the job more than once or twice more. Chicago Trllune. LA8IES' COLUMN. STEAMING THE FACS. ! The latest fad with some of the more imbitious of the fair sex is to steam . the "ace to improve the complexion. Tho iheory is that the pores are thus opened,' md a good healthy action is given to the kin, with consequent improvement of :olor and elision of wrinkles. The lasses 5f Ireland are noted the world over for their clear and rosy complexion, iuhich : is doubtless due in large part to the raoist climate of that country. It is ncre than likely, however, that simple wholesome food and plenty of exercise have also something to do with the mat ter. Washington Star. ENAMELED JEWELRT IN VOGUE. Charming is the fine enameled jewelry that is in vogue after years of banish ment. This refers not only to the violets, heartsease, harebells, worn for brooches, lace and hair pins, but the fine en ameled gold necklets, brooches and ; pendants that were worn generations back. Those fortunate enough to have some heirlooms of this sort may be con gratulated on their possessions. The jjold setting is often a marvel of delicate workmanship. Bracelets composed of a narrow band of different-colored enamels set in gold are well worn. Ex ceedingly fine chains, too, for the neck, wiih pendant, are appearing once more. There is a rumor that long chains are tD be worn again. Boston Transcript. A DOG MODISTE. Lovers of pet dogs will be interested in the visit of an American lady to the store of a "dpg modiste" in Paris. The sights were very amusing. The place was not so much a store as an establish ment, with hallsand rooms richly fur nished. Ladies tripped in and out all day long, most of the visitors having with them pugs or terriers. Tho pet dogs were scattered through the rooms, each awaiting its turn. Many small mats and rugs were around the waxed floors, and every bit of carpeting of the kind was occupied by some pretty little creat ure. These dogs have various dresses. The robe used in the morning is a gar ment of dark blue cloth. It is called a paletot, and i3 lined with red flannel. From a leather collar little bells jingle is its wearer walks along. Sometimes a bunch of violets is fastened on the left ihoulder of a dog. On very cold days he pet is clad in sealskin of the same pattern, the collar being in fur, mounted In silver. American RogisUr. THE ONLY FEMININE WASHINGTON CORRE SPONDENT. Women visitors to the Capitol are al ways much interested when they per-) ceive one of their sex sitting in the press gallery, hard at work with pencil and paper. There are many women in Washington who write for tho press, and some of them earn large incomes, too, but only one has entree to the press gallery. This lady, Mrs. Burke, is the regularly accredited and very industri ous correspondent of a western paper, and she takes her place among the large number of newspaper men and managers to get all the news in which her employ ers are interested, but the fact is she meets with no very cordial welcome at the hand3 of her fellow-workers. The newspaper correspondents here have al ways been opposed to letting women into the g '.ery, and while they couldn't keep Mrs. Burke out under the rule, they managed to exclude her name from the list of correspondents printed in the congressional directory..
