FASHIONS IN LAPLAND.
Country Where Changes in Costum
Are Never Made.

A Country Where Changes in Costume
Are Never Made.
The costume of the Lapps has not al
tered very much for the last thousand
years Their summer garment is usual
ly of coarse wooden goods, and has some
thing the cut Of shirt with a high col
lar Among the sea Lapps it is for the
most part undyed; among the other
Lapps usually blue, sometimes green or
brown, and even black smock frocks
have been seen.
Around the wristbands, along the seam
in the back and on the edges, this smock
Is ornamented with strips of red and
yellow cloth. Under this garment is a
similar one, either palmer or older,
worn next to the body, for the Lapp
never wears linen underclothing.
The trousers or drawers are of white
wooden goods, rather narrow and reach
ing to the ankles, where they are tied
inside the shoes with long slender
shoestrings. Over these drawers are
usually worn leggins of thin. tanned
skins. reaching from the ankles TO the
knees
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
fills the upward curving tip of his shoes
with sort Of grass, which is gathered
in summer and beaten to make it soft
and pliable. The winter costume only
differs from that worn in summer in
that every piece is made of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock is something longer and is
made without the high, standing col
lar, instead Of which q kerchief or cape
is worn about the neck.
To the woven and often silver-orna-
mented girdle hangs knife, scissors,
key, and needle aA1 thread. The head
covering is not only different in the two
sexes, but also differs according to the
locality. Magazine.

chap is an example of the stingy man
about-town who takes all he can get
and gives nothing in return"
AS the sporting man ceased speaking
a handsomely-dressed individual came
up and entered into conversation with
him. The newcomer was gay,
breezy and winsome. He slapped
the sporting man on the back, asked
him what he had been drinking, Hnger-
ing about for quite awhile. and was pre-
pairing to go away when the sporting
man asked If he would not sit down and
allow him to open fresh bottle of wine.
The fellow shrugged his shoulders, OBJ
jected chafingly to the delightful meth
cd in which he was being tempted, and
sunk into chair as the sporting man
ordered the wine. When the champagne
was consumed he rose, said ELUSIVE
adieus and hurried away.

man. THAT fellow can buy and sell
me, but he won't spend five dollars a
day. He's getting rich, they say. How2

The Farmers Alliance has at last
risen to the dignity of provoking gem

parties have been forced out of their
policy of indifferently ignoring this
great new political factor. Whatever
the mistakes of the Alliance may be,
and it win doubtless make many, the
best evidence that it is right in the
main, is the fact that it is being bitterly
criticised and opposed by those papers

MARK TwAIN's cHAMoIs.
It Breeds Discussion in the New Zealand
House of Commons.

House of Commons.
Not even in the widest flights of his
imagination could Mark Twain have
ever dreamed that the portion of his
Tramp in Europe" devoted to the dis
cussion OF the insect which he so anus
ingly describes as a chamois would one
day be read aloud in legislative as
sembly and become the subject OF
parliamentary debate. And yet this is
precisely what has just occ urred in New
Zealand. The government of the colony
is anxious to acclimatize the cham
OILS, and in order to execute this
laudable object asked Parliament
for . vote of ESQ. When the
vote came up for discussion, an honora-
able member named Kerr arose in
righteous indignation and demanded
further information. II should like to
hear from the government exactly what
these shammies' are. / am told that
they are cross between pig and
sheep. and that they breed scab."
There is book about them in the
library" politely replied a member on
the other side of the house; 'I'll go and
fetch it for you" Mr.. Kerr, touched bv
this act OF courtesy, graciously received
the volume and began reading out, in
a pompous voice, the passage pointed
out to him-a famous passage from
one of the works of the eminent natur-
alist, Samuel Clemens, better known to
many of his readers as Mark Twain
AS the reading proceeded the house
quickly realized the joke. Not so Mr..
Kerr. When he came to the statement
that the ''chamois is no bigger than a
mustard seed" he stopped himself, and,
glaring on the house, now roaring with
laughter. 1ercely asked: "What do we
want with animals like that in New
Zealand? Why, they would be worse
