FACT

Local Evidence.

Li&rador Funeral Cuctom*. I.ablator's dreary waste is peopled, generally speaking, by a few scatter* ed tr’.bes of Montagnais Indians, whlls Us roahoard in the north Is occupied by about 3,000 Eskimos. Each race has its peculiar burial customs, interesting if awesome. When a member of a community dies the Ilskitnos carry the body to the top of a hill near their settlement and there lay it. in a sitting posture, on the surface of the hard iiiuty ground. Heavy stones are plied about it in the form of a calni. completely covering it so that the wolves and bears may be unable to dieiurb the tody. The male is buried with his weapons of the chase and the female with her doniecc implement!:. After years, when t're action of summer suns and winter snows i’.as broken down the mound of stones, it is not uncommon for other natives to help themselves to the ptone lamps, flint and ivory arrow and lance heads and other articles of value to them which are found lying beside the bodies. But in every case soma substitute, even if less valuable, is placed there Instead of what has been i«moved. It is the Idea of the pagan Eskimos that though the spirit of the oead person has reached the other world and no longer needs the artlelos, th? ghosts who attended on him in life have to be propitiated by keeping up the number of articles origina'ly placed in the grave, even it the material of these is departed from. The Moravian missionary* humor the natives whom they have Christianized by practicing this habit ot substitution, and a favorable article to place in the graves is a rusty tazor. Many years ago some admirer of the mission sent out an enormous quantity of razors in the belief that they were in general use. But the last thing one would contemplate doing on this (oust in winter would ue to use a r-v/or. As no other use could be toimd for the tuzors they have 1 e*»n devoted to this peculiar purpose, and so it is common to see in every Eskimo grave that has been opened t.n appliance which no old-time Eskimo ever heard of. These curious customs are transmitted from people to people. The Montagnals Indians have a somewhat similar practice. They btuy their d ad in a box or coffin made out of bark, nnd in this are pis ed a loaded gun. a horn of powder, a bag of shot, n pouch of tobacco, a flint and steel lor striking fire, an nx ami a pair ot incvi.i lx 'ii..' hr; :i place is hi e-v.-ite a iiii. p. as it is imposrihle to dig undereround In Labrador for eight months ot ■ ’» year, and stone* fire also used to cover the coffin. But they are so arranged that some cuu be removed after ten day* when the lelatLes return and take out these valuable articles. U is held that by that time the <! ;i I ore has reached the happy hunting grounds and has no further use for them. But even they, too, suhst.tuto wooden stick* for the gun, h\ and snowshoes, and akins for other uitides. .. .v to Find a Gas Leak. The folly of bunting for a leak in r gas pipe with a lighted match Is not •■o much be’-aus? of the danger of an explosion as of other damage, as 1* shown by the experience of a West Philadelphia householder last weett. One or two small leaks were do' ■ ted by going all over the pipes and holding a lighted match to them. The Etr.ell of gas cease !, but was replaced a few hours later by the smell of burning wood. Another visit to the cellar showed a charred floor joist a lim* distance above tiie ,v,;:s pipe. There was no apparent c,r ‘e for this until a very clo ■ examination discovered that a tiny Jet of g.is was issuing li nn tho pipe beneath the beam: it was lighted, but was so small as to t.s blue in color and nearly invisible, it had been lighted by the match used in tho first Investigation, but had not been noticed. “If that leak had happened to be In a lead joint instead of an iron conceetlon." said a gas man, “ther# would probably have been work tor the flro department. Tne smallest possible jet of lighted gas issuing through Uad will in lime heat and melt the had and make the leak larger, until a hi? flnnio is issuing. This may make a fire hours later, in the dead of night or at a time when no one is in the lious". The only proper way to look for those very small leaks is 10 paint the suspected pipe with a smooth soap lather. Just ns in thu case of a bicycle tire,-the tiniost leak will blow a bubble in the lather, and thsjie you are.” •

Copyright, 'Hit Frank A. Munscy Company By R03ERT RUSSELL The stage driver’* voice was strong and firm as he called to the ancient horses jogging slowly up the bioad avenue. "Gip, Nell—gip, Vic!*’ Wit a dexterity acquired by years of proctice, he snapped his long-lash* ed whip, gathered the reins more more firmly in his hands, and with his foot Bulled taut the strap that closed the door of the vehicle. As the man approached the end of the route which had been the scene of his daily occupation ever since his hair, now nearly white, had begun to lose the hue of youth, he paid less and less atteneion to his horses and more to the scenes about him. “That there club!” he remarked to himself. "I’ve seen the same faces in them windows ever since 1 can remember. Wonder where they’d go if they was turned out?" At last with a courageous “Whoa!” which seemed entirely superfluous for the habit-trained steeds, ho brought the stage to a standstill at the end of the line. For some minutes he sat in his seat under the big umbrella which protected him from tha summer sun; then, with an embarrassed laugh, he climbed down and stood before his team, a hand on each low-held head. ’’Well Nell and Vic, wo're through. We aint going to pass up and down the avenue any more, together— dreading the hills, and looking forward to the easy grades. You won’t have to grab on the bit when you come to slippery places any more, to let me know you’re afraid of falling down. You'll go somewhere, where 1 hope they’ll be good to you; and I I'll go somewhere. The only sure thing is that we won't be on. the avenue any more—together. The company that owned the stage line of the famous throughfare bed progressed with the times. On tho morrow, automobiles v. -re to displaco the horse-drawn vehicles, and the picturesque but antiquated stage was to be a tiling of the i ast. With a last at his friends of ro ninny years, the man entered the office to get his last pay and bid goodbyq to the cashier. "1 wish we had a place for you, Elll.” said the young man, handing over some small notes. "I've got my plans," nodded fiill as he left the office, determined that none but the dumb animals should think him given lo sentiment. He went to a small room in an old boarding house in a humble part of the city. There setting alone by the open .window, smoking an old clay pipe, he looked out at scenes upon which the passing years had made little impression. The lines of hin strong face seemed to grow deeper as the evening advanced and it w?s a very old man who crawled into bed at last. Early the next morning, before the broad avomu which he knew so well had become crowded with its stream ot luxrious vehicles, Bill had taken up a position whence he could g"t a good view of everything that passed over the smooth asphalt. The private carriages received little of his aitcntion, but his eyes were intent and anxious whenever one of the new automobile stages came into view. He studiously noted the confident, quick movements of the chauffeurs. When the noon sun had become almost unbearable, he left his retreat and walked slowly down the avenue, nodding his white head in apparent satisfaction. II Tho summer had gone, and the stage company bad benefited greatly by the change of motive power, its profits had increased steadily. In place of the little wooden structure which had been the headquarters of the paymaster and other minor officials, a larger and finer office had been built. It was here that the new superintendent sat one auaumn morning, when to him was announced the name of William Corringan. Old Bill entered almost immediately after the attendant had disturbed the young superintendent from an ini'rested perusal ok hts newsiasper. •veteran troOl .Poking about him. “Some different from the old place, sir,’’ he satd. “I Imagine so- were you familiar with it?" replied the young man. “I drove a stagu. for about as many years ns have passed ov r your head, sir ,’’said i*'ll Impressively. “Well that’s a good recommends lion. What can I do for you?" Bill regarded the superintendent a moment, as if to prefiare him lor the good news. “I have come to apply for the position of chauffeur on your line.” “What?” shouted lire young man. "Chauffffeur,” reiterated Bill. “I want to cover the avenue again.” “But running an an' ainobll# Is something entirely 0 • at from driving horses!" "I’m not a fool, sir*.” and Bill smiled confidently. ‘Tv* been taking 1 mns for three months and 1 know all about the things.” "But—but—how old are you?” "Almost sixty, sir,” replied Bll’ proudly, straightening to Coil i-ei* •

his six feet of powerful manhood ~ Me can’t take men of thai a*, you know.” "You can’t? You .“ The young superintendent saw th a , he^must meet keenly dlsappoinS "The company wouldn’t stand f„, it.*’ lie said. "They want youn^e -it s very trying work, you know •' "Why sir." began Bill courageously It never occured lo me that the com pany would not take me. after 1 had given nearly thirty years ot my (ir. to it—that is, of course, if f do the work. And I have learned to do the work sir, I know as much about the new stages as I did about the old ones." "I’m awfully sorry, really I am 0|( , man. I I'll speak to the president about it. Perhaps we can find some thing in the shops for you.” "I beg your pardon, sir” said Ilill with dignity, "but it’s not the shop t want. It’s to go up and down th, avenue where my life has been spent I don’t suppose you can understand sir; but that road out there's my world, sir. It means a lot to me; and then there’s a very special reason above all other's sir ” He stopped, interupted by the open ing of the office door. Into the room came the president of the company, and by his side a little child, his daughter. A cry of delight came from her as her bright eyes caught sight of the old man. "Oh, Billy!’’ she called as she rushed to his side. "Can’t I ride with you some more on top ot the stage"’ "Her nurse used to bring her,’’ stammered Bill apologetically, and “And I want.” began the little one again. “I want to wave to the old lady who used to throw a kiss at us from the bench in the park. *1 loved her!” The old man’s brave bearing was giving way now. Quickly he turned to the president. "It was my wife, sir," he said. "I drove your stage for thirty years— and for almost thirty years she u-:cd to come and alt there in tie morning, and send me somethin:; from h r eyes. She’s gone now, sir, but 1 waat to pass that park a few years more, running the old company's st; , aad think I ace her silting the!"" The president looked inquiringly at his young subordinate; at thu cl ar, alert eye and rugged frame of the grayhaired man, aad then at iii little I the oid man’s kn ■. “I guess you can ride with Biily to morrow, girlie,’’ he said.
