The Lapps.
Iron the ArpCayl

Outside Of Trom-so we came upon q
family Of Lapps sitting up green bank,
quietly eating their breakfast. Two
men, woman, and little child. They
we're very small, with brown, withered
faces and high cheek bones; the men
without beard or whiskers, one of the
distinguished marks of the Lapp.
There was good humor and gentlcness
apout them, a merry sparkle in their
blue eyes, which redeemed their faces
from the unpleasantness Of that pecu-
liar type-the lowcaste features; small
up-turned nose, wide mouth, and no
particular development of brain. They
talked to us in some unknown jargon;
hard metallic voices, shrill and squeakv.
men and women alike; rattliug out
their words SO sharply that they
sounded like shower of stones fall
ing upon pavement. They had rein-
deer skins for sale, and red shoes or
moccasins, turned up at the toes. The
Lapps have great eye to bargain;
have learned already the are of asking
more than the value Of their wares.
and more than they intend to take.
They will impose upon you if they can,
and the cunning not to be mistaken in
their sharp faces is sufficient to put
you upon your guard. They did their
best this morning to drive bargain
with us, but not caring to be incumber-
ed with a host Of things during our
walk, we were proof against their Sc
ducing offers. As soon as they found
they could sell us nothing, either at
their price or our own, they grew sulky.
turned their backs upon us, squattcd
down around their kettle, and would not
be persuaded to give us another look or
word. In short, they behaved like
children. Nevertheless, they we're
much impressed by Herr ks white
umbrella, as we'll as by puggaree one
of us wore up straw hat.

Bagdad's " Date Mark"

Bagdad, according to medical author
ity, is distinguished for curious and
mysterious malady, which affects every
inhabitant Of the city, whether citizen Of
stranger. 1t is sore, called "date
mark" because after it has healed it
leaves an indelible mark about the size
and shape of a date. Itgenerally makes
It's appearance upon the face, lasts a
year, and then disappears. The check
OF nearly every man and woman in Bag
dad shows the inevitable mark. Some
times it settles upon the nose, and then
the Disagreement is great; sometimes on
the eyelid, when blindness results.
Strangers are attacked even after a brief
residence; but fortunately, if they are
adults, the sore is more apt to, appear
on the arm. In every case the attack
runs its course for one year, and no
treatment accelerates or retards it. DIR.
Thorn has examined the ulcer micro
scopically, and finds it to be composed of
a fungoid growth.

After Twenty-One Centuries


After twenty-one centuries the re-
mains of the 800 yonng Thebans, for
merly the "Sacred Battalion" who fell
at the terrible battle Of Cheronea have
now been dug up. During the summer
excavations have been made around the
gigantic memorial lion which was
placed in the cent r of the field to COM
mennonite the deeds of heroism of that
dark day. "A wall twenty-five yards in
length and fifteen yards in breadth was
first found beneath the soil. Within
this inclosure at q depth of four yards
lay the bones Of 1856 Thebans, resting
side by side, ranging in rows Of forty,
each i'll the attitude in which he had
died. Seven such rows have been
found They are so placed that the
heads Of those of the second rank re-
pose at the feet of the first. All bear
the marks of the blows which caused
their death. One of them has both
thighs pierced by thrusts of the spear;
third has the skull terrible hacked: a
fourth, whose head is wonderfully well
preserved, had the mouth still wide
open, as if he breathed. This last will
be conveyed to the museum Of Antiqui-
ties at Athens. What is especially no.
ticeable about it is chat the jaws possess
every tooth in perfect order. No wea-
pons have been found.

SEA>SPOlL.

See the children with quick eyes 49,
Seeking many IN ocean prize
Storm-tossed weeds of red and green,
Rare sca-shells of varied sheen,
Here patch of silver sand =
Strews the pebbly-geaming strand;
There tiny brooklet free
Rpples on to meet the sea,
In this cave the clear tide-pool
CLEANS within its haven cool,
by the sca-weeds curtaired fair
FROM the SUMS bright noontide glare.
In its halls of sand and shell
Oceans treasures safely dwell,
Though each day the wild sea-foam
Thundcrs DER their governed home
Safely dwell-till tiny hands
Part the clinging, shining strands
Of the sea-weed's graceful screen,
Till each sheltered nook is seen.
Steeled by childhood's careless joy,
All its beauties they destroy;
Fright the tiny elves who glide
Swiftly round the cavern's side;
Scatter with unmeasured shock
A1lthc inmates Of the rock
Some. SO small, that mortal sight
Cannot mark their passage light;
Stir the tide-pool's sandy floor,
Sullyiug its placid shore;
Tear from of its fringe of rock
Shells and weeds with ruthless shock
Till the spoilers fly the cave,
Warned by tn approaching wave,
AS the proud and mighty sea
Comes to set her children free.

Dwelling Burncd--Two Lives Lost.

Last Sunday night. between and 9 o'clock, the dwelling house of Truman H. Pierce, situated in Purchase district. South Britain, was totally destroyed by fire, and son of Truman H. Pierce, aged 4 years, and a brother of Mrs. Pierce, named Rodney Judson, aged 50, perished In the building. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce escaped with only their night clothing on when the alarm was first given, but Mrs. Pierce instantly ran back into the burn ing building for the other child, that was saved, and in rescuing it she was serious ly, and perhaps fatally, burned about her breast.
 At the present writing there Is nothing more definite known to us as to this cal anity, except that the family went to bed early, and those that survive cannot ac. count for the origin of the fire. MT Pierce is cripple. having lost leg some years ago.

Dent Stop to Think.

A scientist says: ''The whole globe contains I,2G0, 0,000, GOO inhabitants. Ii each man, woman and child could pull with force of 100 pounds, to move a bar of steel 5,2e0 feet wide and as many thick, it would require the united efforts of 2, eco such worlds as this" When a man is washing his face and can't find a towel to wipe the soap out of his eyes, he never thinks of this. And if any one was to tell him at such a critical mo ment, the probabilities are that he would not return thanks for the infor- mation.
