The Reindeer.

The reindeer, which in one way or
another manages to be almost the en-
tire support Of the Lapps who have
herds, is large, heavy animal. with
remarkable independence of character.
He will not accept shelter under cover.
no matter how Indictment the weather
may be. Neither will he eat any food
that is offered him; he prefers to seek
his own sustenance, which consists
principally of q peculiar moss, and as
this grows very slowly. requiring about
seven years in which to reach maturity,
the Lapp must shift his home from
time to time to meet the necessities of
his herd. In midwinter the moss may
be covered by several feet of snow, but
the deer digs q hole with his feet, and
disappears from the surface. burrowing
his way through the snow as he follows
his nose from one tuft of moss to an
other. The desh of the reindeer is
quite palatable and nutritious, his skin
makes very warm garments as well as
durable harness, and cheese made of
reindeer milk is very rich, although the
quantity of milk yielded per day seems
scarcely worth the taking, as it amounts
to a mere teacupful-HGper's Maya
zine.

the discovery he had made-there was
no question but she would have found
that out herself in time; the only rea
son she had not noticed the resem-
blance before was because her mind was
so taken up with the moving-but be-
cause she knew Joel was just the kind
of a man they wanted, though how she
knew anything about it nobody could
tell. But the happiest days must end.
and in the gathering twilight the long
separated. strangely united sisters
turned their faces homeward. Sorrow
and trial had been theirs, and might be
again, but whatever awaited them they
would meet side. by side.
Side by side, and in that happy
thought the burden of the long years
seemed to fall away, as in talk and
memory they went back to when lin
childish days they clasped their little
hands in love, and roamed the daisied
fields tOgether."-EUa Thomas, IN
