Than, M. Vanessa 'writes, he had to
enter a. conversation, carried on
much more by gestures themby the

der to make him understand the
question. • This done, the interpre-
ter and the hunter, or the wife of
the latter in his absence, made end-
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 pos-
sible the date of his birth. There
is :another difficult point for the
Eskimo to elucidate, There was a

ning to ascertain from ,the head of

The word marriage is tobaolutely

"Generally speaking, the Eskimo
does not attain a very advanced
'age. Some have been met, however,
,aged 60 to 65 years. The average
length of life of this people is erora
135 to 40 years. There is no settled
age for domestic pairing. There
are eouples of nine and twelve
years; then children live together

Belief That Their Ills May Be cured
By Cannibalism.
Cannibalism in Cuba sounds pretty
strong, but it exists here just as truly
as it does In darkest Africa says the
Havana Post, Cannibq"^-, means the
eating ot humau flesh heman.
beinge, and the voselec.... Cuba do
just that, as the case of the six-year-
old boy killed at Minas Camaguey is
evidence,
The cannibals of Cuba do not place
their victims on a spit and cook Mein
barbecue fashion or roast them like
turkeys in great pans, as they do in Af-
rica, but they do eat the hearts of their
victims if they get the opPortunity, as
the evidence broeght out in the Cama-
guey trial dentonstiates. This ev1..
deuce shows that the voodoo woman
Mercedes Recto told Juan Film, the fa-
ther of the small negro boy 'whoin he
instructed how to kill the white boy,
Shat the Whites had neirer done any-
thing for him, that he was bowed and
bent now 'with rheumatism from carry-
ing ammomition during the revolution,
and the whites had reaped all the bene-
fit of his work and had given him no-
thing in return.
"There is only one thing that wie
mire you," this black female fiend told
the old man, "and that is the heart of
a white child,. Eat of the heart of a
white child and you will be cured."
, The Recto woman wanted the blood
of the little victim, too, because sloe
thought it would cure her of tubercu-
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 ahooved him where it
was. The little negro then invited the
white boy to go with him and eat man-
goes. Ho 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 wo-
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 will 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 canni-
bals in Cuba, and if foreign mission-
aries have been able to convert •the
savage tribes of Africa from their can-
nibalism, surely the government ought
to be able to do the same here,
Here is an example: the Osky
Nassou has three sons, namely Ik-
ton-ta, Kaketon and Tro-miketon.
We do not say Ik-ton-ta, Na,ssou,
ebe., as we say in the Christian
world John Smith, etc. In twenty
years from this, when a new gener-
ation will have grown up, who will
know that lk-ton-ba and his bro-
thers are the sons of old Nassoul
With south a system it is difficult to
preserve family traditions, As to
the month a their birth, it is a
mystery to then-iselees, they do net
know this subdivision of the seer.
In reality there are only two sea-
sons for the Eskimo: `eurnmer"
and the ice season "winter." As
the winter lasts nine or ten inanths
of the year the greater number of
births is in winter. The seine clif-
ficulty exists as to bhe number of
animals slaughtered or captured
by the hunter clueing the year. The
Eskimos count easily up to ten;
above that their Mode of calcula-
tion is long. •
M. Vanesse, whose report is dat-
ed October 24,1911, concludes that
if the Government of Canada wants
.
to preserve these relics of promotive
humanity they will very soon have
to put a stop to the depredations,
plunders and thefts of which 1.the
Eskimos are the victims on the part
of the rovers of the sea. The G-Je.
ernment of :Denmark has :shown a
noble exa-mple jr, this respect in
favor of the Greenla...id Eskimos.

office only on the condition that lie

DANGEROUS PLEURISY ALWAYS
BEGINS THIS WAY.
Speediest Cure Is Nervillne.
Ouch, that stab -like pain in. the side
is like a hot knife blade in the ribs!
Probably got overheated --cooled too
fast—now there is congestion, tight-
ness, such soreness you can't draw a
long breath.
This is the beginning of Pleurisy.
Pleurisy is far too serious to neglect
a single instant.
Quickest relief will come from a vig-
orous rubbing with Nervilinfi. ThIS
trusty old pain reliever will fix you up
in no time—will take away the conges-
tion—make you well Just as it did Mr.
Samuel St. Johns, of Stamford, who
says:—"In running to catch it train
hoot week I became much overheated.
I put up the train window and rode
that way in order to get cooled off. In
an hour my side was so full of pain
and my breathing hurt so much that I
thought I had pneumonia. I always
carry Nerviline in my grip, and at des-
tination I rubbed my side thoroughly
three times. 'rhe warm penetrating
effect was sobn noticeable and I quick-
ly got relief. Nerviline, I consider,
saved me front a serious illness."
Any sort of a cold can be quickly
broken up with Nerviline, which is a
marvel for reducing inflannnation, tor
relieving congestion in the throat and
chest, for curing stitch in the side,
lumbago, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu-
matism. 'Nothing more soothing or
powerful. Tee 50clargefamily size

KITCHENER'S STORY.
'East and West Do Oecasion.ally
Meet, ilo Said.
,
"There was a yoomg woman'.a
pronounced brunette," said Lord
Kitchener of Ithartoara, "who came
out to Cape Town disguised as a
lady nurse, her object being to keep
her eye on her husband who held a
billet under General Forrestier-
Walker ab the base. Later on he
was unfortunately sent bo the front,
where still more unfortunately, he
was forthwith pick -ed off by a wan-
dering Mauser bullet. The widow
.was such a victim to the luxury of
unrestrained grief blue 'it was ob-
served her raven locks turned am-
ber in aesingle night. Thus," ad-
ded his Lordship with a Malicious
grin, "Beet and. West do occasion-
ally meet. The stricken widow on
the. Ganges puts ashes on her heed
SS an indication of her bereavement
and the -widow fi•ora the banks of
the Themes applied peroxide of by-
deogen as an advertisement of her
uncontrollable sorrow."
BETTER FARMING.
What the C. 1'. R. Is Doing for
'Farmers titiIie West.
The 0. P. R. "better farming"
special trains, operated in connec-
tion with the Mtbnitobe Govern-
ment, 'went on duty this month in
the interests of intelligent and sci-
entific farming in the West. These
trains will contain specimens .4
noxious weeds, most troublesome in
the province, and lectures will be
given t,o teach the effectual meth-
ods of eradication. Theo.% will be
models of weed seeds, so that iden-
tification will be easy; Manitoba
birds, with instructions as to their
habits, whether destructive or bens -
ficial; injurious insects will be illus-
trated on the moving films; a car
with cattle, sheep and hogs, in eon-
nection with which lectures will be
given to young men, especially; a
car devoted to home economics for
woollen, where lady dernenstrathes
will teach nursing, sewing, end so
forth. To show how thorough and
real and close this instruction is
meant to be by the Canadian Peel-
& and the Government, it may be
stated that field crops and minia-
ture lay -outs of farm buildings wilt
be shown in two cers for the pur-
pose—while instruction will be giv-
en as to the protection of such build-
ings. Saskatchewan is in need of
mixed Storming, and there will be
special features on two large ewes,
which will be ale -voted to stook. On
the Seskatchewen train,. lecturers
will accompa.ny; and onstruction
will be -given in everything practi-
cably appertaining to the life of the
farm. This idea, is intended, of
course, chiefly for the new settlers,
who may have but a hazy idea, of
farming. 'Me object both of the
°memos, and the Governm.ent is
that the people shmild farm to the'
best of their knowledge and ability,
so as to extract from the soil what
nature is ready to give, if ehe be
properly coaxed. Ia carrying out
this idea tho Canadian Pacific is
willing th spend money, knowing
that good farming anywhere in the
North-weet will mean, uleimo,tely,
better and mere profitable business

saying: "Now is there any little
girl or boy who would like to ask
a question about the lesson?"
Little Susie looked puzzled for a
noonieet and then raised her hand.
• 'A question, Susier asked the
teacher.
"I would like to know," said
Susie, "if the angles have wings,

The -teacher thought for some mo-

class, asked: Is there any little boy
