It.would have been unfortunate for
the Empress Of Russia had she left her
pocketbook at home when she paid q
visit to her. daughter at that interesting
period when maternal encourag cement
is Indispensable. It appears that Queen
Victoria secluded herself ut Balnoral as
soon as the Empress Of Russia arrived at
Buckingham Palace. Installed there, the
visiting Empress was compelled TO pay
her way Just as If she were boaxding at
hotel. II might be urged that the
Duke Of Edinburgh should have enter
tanned his imperial mother-in!law, but
those who know him best declare that
extravaganza is not his failing, and the
support of a mother.in-law is4ta luxury
ne could not afford. Hence the lady
was compelled to satisfy her butcher,
and baker, and -candlestiek-naker from
her own purse. This may be court ETH
quette, but the hospitable American
cannot help thinking it somewhat ps-
culiar.

LAPLAND. i

In the north OF Europe there is O
large tract okeoantsy very thinly inhab.
tied by swedep, NorTSegians, Finland.
ers and Laps. It's coast is indented
with fords OF great beauty, the sea be-
ing of great depth, and winding its way
inland, often in the midst of stupendous
scenery: These fiords were dug outof the
the solid rock BY glaciers on their way
toward the sea. The geological feat
ugss of that country impress tha mind
with the great and constant changes
that have taken place. OF are taking
place. The. rocks are granite, gneiss
and mica schist. AS one studies the
coast line the eyes rest continually on
SERIES of terraces one over the other,
perfect in shape, almost, all situated at
the entrances OF valleys. These ter
races show, distinctly by their rounded
pebbles the rising of the land above the
water, this slow and almost impercepti-
BILE rising still taking place in our time.
This country was once under the influ-
ence of much milder climate, as genial
as that of England now. We must con-
clude. from inferences that the icy Pc
Rod is again making it's appearance,
and that the impenetrable belt of ice
which seems to bar the way to the north
pole, and which our distinguished
fEiend,t DR.. Hayes, has partly ex-
Plere.ls was once an opensea. In the
interior of the country inhabited by
Laps one meets everywhere positive
proofs Of the rising of the'land. Shells
are found several hundred feet above
the present level of the lakes noun
tains have been polished as smooth as
glass by the action of the ice; powders
Of all sizes have been scattered over the
land by the glaciers. Advancing gla-
ciers are demolishing to this day, and
breaking the granite hills which oppose
their march, while the retiring ones
leave behind them powders, sand,
gravel, etc.. etc.
There are sea Laps, forest and river
Laps, and nomadic Laps. can
now only speak of the nomadic Laps.
The whole population of Lapland
amounts to about 10000, the nomadic
Laplanders numbering about 25, 900,
and possessing about 500, 900 reindeer.
Their herds vary from fifty to five
thousand. There have been Lapland-
ers possessing even ten Thousand rein
deer. A man possessing from ave
hundred to thousand reindeer is con-
sidered rich. Those who possess only
fifty to one hundred are poor. The
reindeer is everything to the Laplander.
With. its skin, he makes his clothing,
Shoes gloves; with its sinews his
thread. He feeds ON it's flesh, and the
animal is his beast of burden. The
value of the reindeer varies according
to the country. Driving reindeer,
broken 3 TO the harness, are not very
plentiful, and cost from $40 to $15
each !; q common one from 81 to Sc.
The most intelligent Laps are the
Swedish and Norwegian, compulsory
education having reached that distant
region. They all know how to read.
Every one is or must be confirmed, this
ceremony being part of the Lutheran
creed !; hence all must be able to read
the Bible and know their catechism.
Churches, are scattered here and there
in the desolate regions, and the church
going Laps come into them on Sundays
from every side.-1 Paul du C7sGiEl,t.

BONNER'S $3.50, 600 WORTH OF HORSES
Robert Bonner owns $3.50, 900 worth
of equine property /; spends five or six
hours out Of every twenty four in his
stables or on the road. He loves
horses, thinks horses, talks horses.
Nevertheless, if he wants to drive to a
neighbor's house, or to distant part
of the city in the evening. ne always
hires a carriage from a livery stable.
Dexter and the other noble steeds are
altogether too fine for ordinary employ
ment. Bonner's bill at livery is said to
be some 81 500 year, while the inter-
est on the value of his horses at the
legal rate is $17, 800 per annum. He
paid $25, 900 for Dexter, and he is pro-
nounced profoundly foolish therefor.
He could have sold him again for
$50, 200, although he would not take
800. 600. 1t is one of his idiosyncracies
that he never sells anything. He is
only buyer. OF all the real estate he
has purchased he has never disposed of
q single foot. He keeps whatever he
gets, and gets more. Il is said he has
made up his mind TO own Goldsmith
Maid and doubtless he will do SO if
the mare can be had for money. Bon
ner can afford to be extravagant. His
entire property to-day cannot be worth
less than %, 600, 600; and yet it is only
few years since that he was toiling

HERR TUsCHER says that if one volume
of castor oil be dissolved in two or three
volumes of spirits of wine, it will render
paper transparent, and, the spirit rapidly
cvaporating, tlbpaper in few minutes
becomes fit for Slse. A tracing in pencil
can then be made, and If the paper is
placed in spiritapf wine, the oil IS dis
solved out, restoring the paper to its
originalpepndition The drawing may
then be completed in Indian ink or in
cOlors.
CARE or A MUFF.-When you take it

To TAKE OUT BRUISES IN FURNITURE
Wet the place well with warm water,
then take some brown paper five or six
times doubled and well soaked in water
lay it on the place, apply on that hot
ilat-irOn till the moisture is evaTorated,
and if the bruise is not gone repeat the
process. You will find after two or
three applications that the dent or bruise
is raised level with the surface. If the
bruise is small soak it well with warm
water, and hold a red-hot poker very
near the surface, which is to be kept
continually wetted, and you will soon
find the indentation vanished.

A SECOND FATHER MATTHEW Who is
there that does not respect the memory of
Father Matthew, the great champion of
temperance? Innumerable societies bear
his honorcd name; but there is one man
who has struck more sure death-blow to
incompetence, and that man is DIR. j.
WALKER, an old California physician,
who has discovered in natures "mcclI
and lowly herbs" n medicinal tonic"
and gentle stimulant that completely takes
the place of the fashionable alcoholic
poisons called "tonics," so popular as a
compromise between strong drink and
cold water and does away with the mania
for drink, and in reality cultivatcs an in
voluntary disgust for the same. 1t even
does more: 1t acts upon the entire physi-
cal system, purifies the blood, and pro-
duces hale hardy health. The discoverer
of this great medicinal stimulant is surely
entitled to the thanks of a whole nation,
and it is not extravagant to entitle him a
second Father Matthew" 33

Farm AND FIREsIDE.

To KEEP A GATE PosT FROM SAG
GING.-Various contrivanccs are adopted
for this purpose. Stones are rammed
into the hole; fiat stones placed against
the inner fence, eto. The simplest,
easiest and best way is thus explained :
The hole is dug like a ditch, say six or
seven feet long in the direction in which
the gate hangs. Set in the post about
the middle OF the oblong hole. Place a
piece of timber about three feet long
firmly against the bottom, from the gate.
Fill in the earth and pound IT hard md
solid, especially around the horizontal
stick of timber. When the hole is about
two-thirds filed, place another similar
timber on the other side, and beat the
earth about it as with the other Fill
the hole, hang the gate, and it will never
sag. II cannot. There is no pressure
you will ever put on the gate, that will
push the lower outside timber endwise
through the solid soil, nor crowd the
other endwise in the opposite direction.
Sometimes a poor way is adopted OF plac-
ing the short timber across the post, but
this Is far inferior to the mode we have
described. Red cedar would do well for
the buried timber, but as II Is always
from the air, any hard wood will an
