which may come through. In Lule
Lapmark some Of the Laps now wear
stockings, and the settlers, excepting
the very poorest, always do, but they
also continue to use the hay.
The only hay harvest with which the
Lap concerns himself is the gathering
of a sufficient quantity of grass to
serve him through the winter. This
grass he dries in the sun, and after
picking out all foreign substances, care
fully combs and heckles it, so as to
make the hay soft for the foot. When
the Lap comes home in the evening he
takes the hay out, and dries it by the
fire in his hut, and with the occasional
addition of a little new hay, the same
stutting will last for one or two weeks.
Both men. and women wear trousers
reaching down to the ankles, and their
lower end is tucked into the boots, to
prevent the water making it's way
through. The trousers are made of
either skin or rough homespun, the
latter of which the richer Laps prefer
in summer. The skin trousers when
old acquire the same blackish look
which the boots have, but at first they
are brownish in color. The women
are fond of having trousers ornament
ed with red and green. The laps rare
ly wear linen shirts, or indeed any lin
en-; but some of the Forest Laps wear
in summer sort of homespun under
the tunic, which is the most important
article of their dress. This tunic
which is worn alike by men and wo-
men, is open at the neck and halfway
down the breast. 1t generally does
not reach below the knee, and is made
of reindeer skin or homespun. The
only difference between the tunic worn
by the men and that worn by the wo-
men is that the former has high,
standing-up, stiff collar. The tunics
are ornamented with blue and red
stripes round their edges, and the wo-
men are especially fond of a variety
OF color. In winter, furs are worn by
all and are required to keep out the
intense cold. The TUNES are fastened
round the waist by belt, which is
often highly ornamented, and depend
ing from which the women generally
carry bunch of scissors and needle
holders. The women also frequently
wear a bright-colored handkerchief
around their necks. The head-dress
of men and women is the same, viz a
tall sugar-loaf-shaped cap, made of blue
| cloth, sewed with red although some
times other colors are used. Such is
a general description of the Lap dress

The proprietors of the Okabena
Mills, at Worthington, have expert
mented quite extensively with hay for
fuel. The mill is operated by a sixty
horse power engine, and it is claimed
that a saving of fifty per cent. can be
saved in the cost of fuel by using hay.
