The reindeer replaces the horse and
the OK where these animals could not
be utilized. In the Russian empire
there are computed to be about 1000
600, of which $4,000 are in Europe.
In Siberia there are more than 300, 1000.
The koraks of eastern Siberia, who are
nomads, and live in skin tents, have
immense herds of reindeer, some tribes
owning not less than $1,000. These sup
ply their food, clothing, and means Of
transport. The pride Of the Laplanders
is also to have large herds of reindeer
for their sledges. They drink the milk
of these animals, and make cheese Of
it, they clothe themselves with the
skins, and eat the flesh.

SHOWING How SENSITIVE A GIRL IN
LOVE Is.-They were sitting in an open
buggy on the cross-road and bounded
on one side by the wood and on the
other by an orchard. The first We
heard was, :" Now stop, Will; you will
muss my hair" He laughed and she
broke out with, "you don't love me one
bit" The caress he gave ner would
have made an anaconda turn pale. and
as she threw up her head for breath he
said, "Pm strong, eh, girl?" Yes,
you are but l don't think you are as
strong as you used to be-" And then we
felt weak and left them.

sey Swept out of Existence by Fire..
An Incendiary's Work.
A Cape May, New Jersey, dispatch of
November 9th, says: The worst fire
that ever visited this city was dis
covered this morning about o'clock
in the attic of the Ocean House, on
Perry street, below Washington street,
in the new wing of the centre house in
tervening between the Ocean House and
Washington street, the main thorough
fare of Cape May. The fire was evil
IDENTIFY the work of an incendiary, as
there had been no fire in the Ocean
House since the close of the season. A
police officer gave the alarm and the
fire department of the city, consisting
of truck, one hand engine and a num-
Der of chemical engines responded
promptly but it was soon found they
could do but little toward subduing the
flames. No one had been in the Ocean
House for several days. For the past
two seasons the house was run by S. Il.
Ludlow, who, about fifteen minutes be-
tore tho fire was discovered, left for
Philadelphia. The old wing OF the
Ocean House was not injured
when the fire shot across
Perry street to the west, and attacked
Congress Hall in what was called Whis-
ky row. The wind was then from the
north east, and blowing 36 miles an
hour. The flames spread to the new
wing of Congress Hall fronting on Per-
ry street. About this time it commu-
nicated to the back part of the Mer-
chants House, on Jackson street. Soon
after the main wing of Congress Hall
on Washington street caught fire. The
flames then extended to the entire
house, at Perry, Washington and jack
son streets, whence they communicated
to the old wing of the Ocean House, on
Perry street, and at the same time
reached the Center House Cottage, and
communicated to the Peterson
Cottage, on Jackson street. The
fire rapidly swept over the adjoining
property to the tenpin alley on Jackson
street. Now the Merchants Hotel, al
ready on fire, but kept under control,
burst into flames, which made their
way down to Beach street. 1t looked
as if the whole city was doomed. The
fire swept along to Fenlon's cottage by
the sea. On Jackson street Charles
Sulke's centennial house was not burned
to the ground, and Mrs. Miller's cottage
on Jackson street followed. The flames
now raging furiously reached the old
Atlantic house, shot across Jackson
street to the George Hellworth cottage,
which fell victim, together with the
Capello cottage. The Knickerbockel
house was then attacked, and soon after
VIM. f. Kings hot bath establishment
was included in the destruction. Geo.
Pryer's cottage, standing alone on the
bluff below the Ocean house, was en-
veloped by the flames and burned; then
came the Avenue house. kept by Geo.
T. Dougherty, and the property of the
Burns estate, at the foot of Perry street.
This was followed by S. A. Rudolph's
cottage, on Jackson street.
While the fire vas at it's height about

A GENTLEMAN residing near Boydton,

high and thirty feet in diameter at the
base, with seven large flues, two OF

Then he built fire in this tower, and
kept it burning several days, in order to
bring on rain, but it failed to produce
the desired result.
