The Reindeer and hiS Travels,

WE know that domestic animals are
often compelled to take long journeys, in
obedience to the will of man; but did you
ever know that whole companies of peo
pie arc sometimes compelled to take long,
wearsomc Journeys because of the migra-
tions Of animals? The reindeer, in those
cold North countries where he is the main
staff and stay of the people, takes his long
journeys at the regular seasons in search of
the reindeer moss and the peculiar lichens
which are its main food. There is no help
for it but the people who depend on it for
food, and clothing, and almost every other
necessary of lie, must follow its wander
ings. Fortunately there is little portable
property to transport; and even the little
children are harder than most men with
u.s. A little thing Of two years was seen
by DR.. Kane to take his knife and cut into
the walrus fat along with the rest Of
the family, consuming quantity so cnOrm-
Gus it seemed almost incredible. They
early learn to take care of themselves 80
that little children are small hiudcrancc to
their parents.
Those frozen regions could not be in
habited except for those hardy creatures.
Their keen scent shows them where the
moss is hidden even beneath six feet of
snow. VncTc every Cnlng else would per
ish of hunger, it finds sufficient food. In
turn it furnishes food for the poor inhabi-
tants, and when domesticated, gives them
milk, butter, and a sort of cheese; while
its skin is put to innumerable uses besides
the common one of furnishing them with
warm clothing.
1t seems wonderful to us that people
can bear to live in such a region, and that
it seems beautiful land to them. No
doubt they would soon tire Of the crnvcn
fences Of our enlightened homes, and
would think the most common customs Of
civilized life very irksomc and disagree

Matrimonial SuperstitsOns.

The lately revived custom Of throwing
shoes after newly welded couple for
luck is a very old one. In the Isle OF
Man, the shoe is thrown after the bride
and bridegroom as they leave their respcc
tive abodes, but the ceremony is generally
performed elsewhere upon the departure
of the hero aud heroine OF the day tor the
honey moon trip In some parts of Kent
shoe. throwing does not take place until
after they have gone, wAvn the single
ladies range themselves in one line, and
the bach' lors range themselves in another.
An old shoe is then thrown rs far rs the
thrower's strength permits, and tue ladies'
race after it, the winner being rewarded
by the assurance that she will be married
before any of her rivals She then throws
the shoe at the gentlemen, the one she hits
laying the same pleasing unction to his
heart. Something like this is practiced,
too, in Yorkshire and Scotland. In Ger
many it used TO be rule for the bride, as
she was being conducted to her chamber,
to take off her shoe and throw it among
the guests, who battled for its possession,
the successful he or she being destined to
be speedily married and settled. In some
places the threshold is kept warm for
another bride by pouring a kettleful of
warm water down tho door steps rs
soon as the bride and bridegroom have
taken their departure; the fancy being
that before the water is dried up another
match will be made up, or " flow on, and
that it will not be very long before another
welded couple passes over the same
ground. In Prussia, the method of in
voking blessings on newly-married pair
used to be the more expensive one of
smashing crockcry against the door Of the
