The Lamp and His Reindeer.

The mountain Lapps of Norway
have learned to drink coffee and wear
stout Norwegian cloth, but they set as
much store by the reindeer as ever. A
poor family will have fifty and upward
in a flock, the middle classes 800 to
700, and the richest 1000 or more. The
reindeer is as much beloved by the
Lapp as his pig by the Irishman, and
the reindeer often sleep in his hut in
much the same fashion. The Lapp
will whisper to his reindeer when
Harvesting him TO his sleigh, and will
tell him where he is to 60, and declares
he understands him. The reindeer is
much like a stag, only smaller; all the
people, animals and trees in Lapland
are very diminutive, the mtn are
mostly under FIVE feet high, and the
women under four feet nine inches, so
great are the rigors of the climate in
this as in all countries under the arctic
circle, and the cows, sheep and goats
are small in proportion. In summer
the reindeer feed upon grass, and give
excellent milk; in the winter they feed
upon moss, which they scratch up
under great depths of snow with mar
velous instinct. When winter draws
near great numbers are killed, and the
flesh is dried and smoked 10 provide
food when the ground is covered with
snow, and but few birds, like ptarmi-
gan, cartridges and capercailzie, are
met with. The flesh is very nutri-
tious, and after a course Of grass
feeding it is surprising how soon the
reindeer become fat and plump. The
skin makes their dresses and boots, the
sinews their thread and fishing lines,
and the horns their spoons and domes-
tic utensils.

In Germany women do most of the

Initiative COloring in Marine Life.

The adaptation of the innumerabe
tints to every grade of change in the
color of the sea- weed is really marvel
GUS. The younger, lighter green
crustaceans are always to be found on
the young, verdant fronds Of the plant,
while the older parts of tho weed are
inhabited by older, brown animals.
The older stems are often incrusted
with the white shells of bryozoa, and
corresponding with these we are sure
to find hite spots on the brown ar

mails are frequently of an olive green

lively like the slender sea-weed-leaves

there are a quarter Of hundred of

tumbling off the bush, whose behavior
will go far to verify Wagner's view;

The Arab Household.

He was grand-looking old man,
and looked all the more so in his pic
turesque Arab costume. Following
him through small lobby, we ascend
ed dark and narrow wooden stair
case. AT the top of it we found our
selves in an arched gallery running
round small court. Here few goats
were wandering about, and from be-
hind curtained doorways numerous
dark faces were peeping at us. The
principal lady of the household receiv-
ed us at the door of the sitting-room,
and soon we were surrounded by at
least dozen women and lots of chill
dren, not two dressed alike. The poor
children were all perfectly laden with
bracelets, anklets, nose-rings, while a
few had even nostrl-rings. Indeed,
many of them looked queer little
objects, with patterns painted on their
faces in scarlet, yellow or white.
Some of the women, too, had white
spots painted round their ears l
thought these extremely ugly, for
they strongly resembled rows of teeth
One exceedingly smart baby was dress
ed in yellow silk dress with bright
crimson border, and little cap sur
mounted by a tuft of feathers all the
colors of the rainbow. His arms and
legs we're perfectly laden with jewels,
and his little neck smothered with rows
and rows of beads, from which were
suspended all sorts of charms and
talismans. Several of the women were
nfraid to shake hands with me, and
one. little fellow with an enormous
nose-ring screamed most Justify. This
led to our discovering that they were
afraid of my dark hands, for l had on
apalr OF brown gloves. 1t was the
first time that any OF them had seen a
pair of gloves; and the whole party
were very much astonished, when l
took them off, to find that my hands
were white. Miss Allen produced q
scrap-book, and handed it first to the
old gentleman. He commenced look
ing at it at the wrong end, as Arabs
always do, and evidently enjoyed the
pictures quite as much as the children.
Shortly after our arrival the servants
brought in gilt tray with two large
green goblets full of sweet syrup; and
we had to drink little of this, rs we'll

gentleman particularly wishing me to

JeffersOn's First Inauguration.

Down at the Congressional Library
in Washington. is 4 musty old file of
the National I1telligencey, from which
the following account of Mr.. Jeifer-
sons inauguration is taken:
AT an early hour on Wednesday,
March 4, 1901, the city of Washington
presented aspectacle of uncommon an
imation, occasioned by the addition to
its usual population of a large body of
citizens from the adjacent districts. A
discharge from the company of Wash
ington artillery ushered in the day,
and about II o'clock the Alexandria
company of riaemen, with the compa-
ny of artillery, paraded in front of the
Presidents lodgings. At II o'clock
Thomas Jefferson, attended by a num-
Der of his fellow citizens, among whom
were many members of Congress, re-
paired to the Capitol. His dress was,
as usual, that of plain citizen, with
out any distinctive badge of Office lie
entered the Capitol under the discharge
of artillery. On his entry into the
senate chamber, where were assembled
the Senate and the House of Represen-
tives, the members rose, and Mr.. Burr
left the chair of the Senate which Mr..
Jefferson took. After a few moments
of silence, Mr.. Jefferson rose and de-
ivered his address before the largest
concourse Of citizens ever assembled
here Having seated himself for a
short period, he again arose, and APP
preached the Clerks table, where the
oath was administered by the Chief
Justice, after which he returned to his
lodgings, accompanied by the Vice
President, the Chief Justice, and the
heads of departments, where he was
waited upon by number of distln-
guished citizens. AS soon as he with
drew, a discharge of artillery was
made. The remainder of the day was
devoted to purposes of festivity, and
at night there was pretty general
illumination.

The author Of "Up and Down the

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.

Women who are endeavoring to. ac-
quire the ant Of sitting sidewise on the
edge Of a chair without conspicuous
awkwardness, not to say with grace,
will be glad to hear of decided novel
ty in the spiral spring skirt crinolette.
The steels are fixed lengthwise, and
curl round and round till they taper
off close to the waist. This arrange
ment is described as productive of
pleasing results, for in sitting the coils
are at once nattened down and as
speedily regain their shape. One can
settle ones self on a chair or stool, or
loll back in low shaped fauteuil,
and the skirt is not pushed out of gear.
1t is to be hoped that importers will
at once order a supply, for a hustle
which will neither slip to one side, nor
refuse to be sat upon without damag-
ing results, is an article which in the
present inflated state of fashion, ought
to make the fortune of it's inventor. -

A writer says that in Germany the
dwelling houses of a peasant, or
rather the apa rtments, are at one end
of the barn, and are separated from
the store room for hay and grain by a
brick partition. The sleeping apart
ments are made in the walls of the
room, those in the kitchen and dining
room being used by the family, while
the one in the parlor is reserved for
the stranger within their gates.
The walls selected for the beds are
the outside ones, as they are thick
enough to make bed of the average
width. The walls are plastered nice
ly, and the place for the bed is
simply a niche large enough for
bed, the wall presenting an
unbroken surface, save the opening
where you get into bed. These open
ingS are sometimes or an ordinary
height, while others require step
ladder to reach them.
The beds are made first Of lot of
loose straw, surmounted by thick
feather mattress. This is covered
with sheet, while above it is another
mattress of fine feathers mode light
enough to serve as cover.
Just imagine the feelings of an
American who has to make and un.
make his toilet after getting into bedl
The openings in the wall are closed by
a calico curtain except the spare bod
in the parlor, which has doors Of wood
that are opened and shut at pleasure.

Fashion Notes.


Gold ornaments are no longer in
vogue.
Chinchilla is the correct fur to put
on gray satin garments.
Evening shoes are of the color of the
dress or golden bronze.
Tulle forms all or a part of nearly
every ball dress this season.
Fur-trained trimmed cloth suits ar
the correct wear.
All shades of brown up to ecru look
well with gold tinsel trimming.
Velvet flowers on gauze arc the
latest fancy in bali dress fabrics.
Flowers are again in vogue in
Paris, at least for trimming ball toll
cts.
Fur trimmings should match the
material on which they are used in
color.
All Jewels, are worn, but the favor
ties are pearls and diamonds, es pecial-
ly the last.
Yellow is now the fashionable
shade. Twenty dollar gold pieces are
very stylish.
Cream white and pale rose are the
colors preferred by young girls fol-
evening dress.
Steel and silver tinsel are the cor.
rect metal trimmings for gray stuffs
of all kinds and in all shades.
Diamond spangled chenille makes
a lovely and lustrous tablier or front
breadth for an evening dress.

Country Churches Met With

Beautiful Edifces that Are Built in
Quaint Styles of Architecture,

The village churches in the south
west countries, or cider countries as
they are sometimes called, are particu-
larly rich. Many of them are of Tu-
dor workmanship. and are built on
much larger scale than the tiny edifces
of Saxon and Norman times. When
Henry VII. was building his beautiful
chapel in Westminster Abbey, many
Of the lieges caught the same feeling
and taste that prompted his outlay on
this work, and reared in their own To-
Calities ediiices that were in the same
style, without attempting to vie with
Its richness. Then, perhaps, to these
structures porch was added when
Queen Elizabeth was making her sum-
mer progresses, and subsequently fur

foreign travel, all of which yielded a
lighter air aud tone than the work of

ford, is an unusually fine village
church, with much work in it Of these
latter times-mysteriously vast, indeed
as though built with vague longings in
the hearts of its builders for some
greater purpose. Within three miles
or so, at Kilpeck, is a small, massive
Norman church Of great curiosity,
with some lingering traces on 1t, at its
angles, of the plodding touch of previ-
Gus Saxon masons.
There are little Welsh churches, built
of stone, with slated roofs, so plain, so
featureless, that it is difficult to be sure
they are not barns. There are others,
again, no larger, that arrest all passers-
by with their plaintive beauty. Here
is Llanbedr church, of the dashing,
darting Artro. 1t is full of delicacy
and grace though consisting only of
the usual nave and chancel, with q
small bell-cot on the west end. A gen.
erous givcr, however, recently added
small vestry and an open-timbered
porch. Like the rest, it stands in a
churchyard, only the tombstoneslie flat
upon the earth, fringed with the grass
that grows around them.
These memorials of departed Welsh
villagers are made of slate and incised
with Welsh inscriptions, giving the
names and dates of the births and
deaths in the usual way. Over the en-
trance to the church is a small slate
tablet, inscribed with an admoDition,
which is likewise in Welsh, to the effect
that none should enter that privileged
sanctuary save with good thoughts.
We may venture to cross the threshold,
Notwithstanding. Within all is orderly.
There is an ancient, open-timbered
roof; an unusually picturesque chancel-
arch, formed with rough-hewn, slab
formed stones; central pathway
between the two rows of sittings; a
stained-glass window on the south side
and second staned-glass window at
the east end, both masterpieces Of color,
steel, pale, and wan tints contrasting
incomparably withdeep and rich tones;
few mural tablets, and a general air
and tinge of refined and homely piety.
In word, these village churches
present field of interest that is prac-
tically inexhaustible. -London Quirer.
