HIS WIFK's SKELETON FALLS INTO HIS
ARMs.-In a populous city Of Northern
Italy the wife OF distinguished Jurist
was seized with epilepTic spasms, which
to ali appearance ended in death. The
physicians recognized all the evidences
of dissolution. Her features were dis
torted, cheeks and eyes sunken, the lips
blue and bloodless, skin cold and fiabby
"a phenomenon which from hour 10
hour became more pronounced. Finally,
even the spots that usually preeede de-
composition were observed, and as the
weather was very warm, it was thought
not advisable to delay the burial.
The woman was laid in wooden coffin
and deposited in the family vault, Those
who are acquainted with the arrange
ment of the Italian ceremonies know that
the individual collins are placed in nieh-
es, one above another, somewhat as the
folios are arranged on the shelves OF Ii
brary. The inches are lined with marble
slabs, but left entirely open. The vault
itself, on the contrary, is securely closed
by heavy wooden doors. In such niche
the coffin in question placed. A
year later, another member of the jurist's
family died. The following day he went
himself to the cemetery to see which
niche the new coffin should be placed in.
When he opened the doors, the skeleton
of his wife, enYeloped i'm what remained
of her shroud, fell into his arms. A care
full examination revealed the following
facts: The woman had burst on the
coflin-lid, and then gone to the door and
made an effort TO fOrco il open also, but
in vain The double door would, of
course. tend to deaden her cries, and then
the guardian Of the cemetery lived on the
opposite side of the Enclosure. She must
have lost consciousness during her efforts
to force the doors, for she had fallen
against them, and her habiliments had
caught on one Of their iron fastenings,
and in this position she had finally died.
There was, however, abundant evidence
everywhere in the vault of her having
been cOncious for considerable length
of time.

THE USEFUL EIN-DEER.-Lapland
nOurishcs no other domestic animal than
the reindeer; but in this creature are to
be found many useful qualities. No part
of the animal is useless. The Laplan-
ders make use of their hair, the
skin, the flesh, the bones, the marrow,
the blood and the nerves. The skin serves
to protect them from the inelemency of
the weather; no other flesh than that of
the reindeer is eaten; its bones are of
astonishing use, for cross-bows and
bows. for pointing their arrows, for max
ing their spoons, and for ornaments. Its
tongue and the marrow of its bones are
their greatest delicacies. They frequent
~ drink the blood, bnt they generally
preserve it in bladder, which they ex-
pose to the cold, and allow TO become
dense by freezing; when they wish 70
eat it they cut of with an axe as much as
they desire. They have no other thread
than that which they draw from the
nerves and sinews of this animal; with
the finest they sew their clothes, and
with the cOarsest they sew the bark oftheir
huts, sledges, and cradles. The milk
of the reindeer is the only beverage the
possess; and because 10 is ex-
treemly fat and thick they mix it with
nearly an equal quantity of water; they
only draw a gallon OF milk daily from
the best reindeer, which gives no milk
except when they have "A young one.
Very nutritious cheeses are made from
this milk; and the poorer classes, who
can afford to kill deer for its flesh, live
on nothing else than milk and cheese.
The eheeses are fat, and have a strong
smell; but made and eaten without salt,
they are quite tasteless. From March

ARE They IsRAEL's LOST TRIBE ?-Kund
Leems, the French traveller Regnard,
who jOurneyed through Sweden, Nor
way, and Lapland in 1861, and Bayard
Taylor, whose journey was made in 1856,
all observe certain similitude between
the Laplanders and Israelites. In the
color OF the hair, in the features of the
face, in statue, and in some idolatrous
customs the resemblance is marked.
The Laplandic language also possesses
peculiarities in common with the He
brew. The Jews, by divine precept, af-
fixed to the extremities of their garments
phylacteries; the Laplanders sew to the
borders of theirs certain bandages or fl
.C.s. Saturday, the Jews sabbath, the
Laplanders, by hOrrid superstitions, for
merly kept holy in solemn rituals. The
tunes to which the Jews chanted psalms
in their synagogues differ little from the
modulatiOns of the Laplanders. The
sacrificial ceremonies of the two peoples
were similar. 1t was impiOus among the
Jews TO raise up affairs of hewn stones;
the stones which the Laplanders cOnsecra-
ted with religious worship were fashion
ed by no workmanship. Men performed
the offices of cooking among the Jews;
the same custom obtained among the
Laplanders. Yet these writers do not
seem prepared to assert that the lap
lapders owe to the Jews their origin
