The Little Lapp Baby.

It is rather a hard life that the folk
Of Lapland lead. In tho far north the
earth is so long icebound that the peo-
pie have often to wander great distances
after food, and what must the little
babies do then, poor things? The moth
ers, you may be sure, are not cruel, but
carry the infants on their travels in
funny looking cradles. The tiny bed is
made ont Of the trunk Of q tree and re-
sembles rudely formed canoe. When

The bed, is then laced in with strong wire
bands, partly to prevent It from falling
out and partly to keep wild animals
from getting at the little inmate.

Eskimo Dog 9ledRo.

Consider the case Of the travelling
Eskimo. He has no bicycle, nor motor
car, nor railway train, and yet with
his dog sledge he can cover the snow
and ice at the rate of 16 miles an hour,
The sledge itself is the simplest Of car
riages, consisting only Of pair Of
pointed runners, with cross planks to
mako the platform. In front arc tho
dogs, usually six in number, wearing
sealskin harness and fastened to long
traces. The driver yields whip with
a tremendously long lash and q very
short handle. It takes long time to
use the whip skillfully, but driver
that knows his business could flick
fly off the leading dogs head at a dis
lance of 30 or 80 feet. The dogs, as a
rule, wear sealskin shoes to protect
their feet, and no ono will begrudge
them such excellent muftlers.

Game and Stopped IL.
A young curate, an enthusiast ut the
game, sot himself to organize cricket
team in the country parish 30 which he
had been lately appointed. The only avail
able field was one owned by butcher, u
good natured but quick tempered man
who had never handled bat, hut was

When a 0omlni-:eee, headed by the Gu
rate, waited upon him, he responded IN
the most generous manner. Lend his feldl
OF course he would. More than that he
would join the clsib and take hand In
tho game now and then.
The ourate was taken little uback, but
could not do less than express his pleasure,
and the butcher was duly enrolled as
member of tho club.
BY and by after little practice the
club arranged scratch match among
themselves, and on hearing Of 1t the butch
er at once declared his intention OF being
present and taking share In the contest.
As he was the owner Of the field, 1t seemed
courteous to put him in first.
He was little uncertain what to do
with his bat, but on being told that he
was to bit the ball he said that II that
was all it was easy enough. Tho curato
first took up the bowling, and the butcher
had the honor of the opening over.
The first ball sent the leg stump flying,
and in recovering from the momentum OF
a tremendous .swipe the batsman himself
knocked down the other two. He took
no notice, but shaped for the next ball.
You can't play any more" said the
umpire. "You are out"

ochoolships For Lads Who Would Bs
Sailors -Yellowstoue Paxk-A
Bold Young Sailor.

" Lads are not born sailors any more
than they are born scholars engineers
or builders. Sailoring must be learned.
The art of conducting ships over the
ocean is termed navigation.
Now, shipowners know perfectly
well that boys who would be sailors
worthy the name must be properly
trained. How desirable it is that boys
intending to choose the sea as bust
ness should learn the duties expected of
them may be gathered from the express
sions Of shipowners and directors that
''lads must now learn something of
their business before they come to us, "
and "three unframed boys cannot do
the work Of one man. yet boy eats al
most as much as man."
These facts led to the establishment
of training ships and school ships for
boys. Great Britain, famous for her
sturdy sailors, has 81 such vessels, some
for destitute boys, some for unruly lads
and others where parents pay for their
boys instruction.

aboard big steamer.
Besides o regular course Of study. in
Guiding navigation, nautical astronomy,
chart drawing, etc., they are exercised
in the duties Of first class ship, such
as every sailor learns afloat. with the
addition Of the management of boats
and practical navigation generally. as
we'll as learning something Of useful
and practical surgery and medicine.
The question has recently been asked
in fact, it has been asked very often
DO many boys become sailors? Refer
ring again to English lads, 1t has been
shown that only one boy in thousand
Of all those who leave the London board
schools becomes sailor: Boys become
mousetrap makers, minstrels, newsboys,
call boys, cooks and every conceivable
thing, but very few find their way to
the sea.
Machinery Of various kinds-steam,
electric, hydraulio-has made its mark
as deeply in the world Of ships as IN
any department of human activity, aud

but in some cases might prove in the
way amid the intricate machinery of "a

ship St. Mary's, where the training is
much the same as already mentioned
and practical experience is given by
cruisers that extends even through for
aign waters.

Old People.

Old people who require medi-
cine to regulate the bowels and
kidneys will find the true remedy
in Electric Bitters. This medi-
cine does not stimulate and con-
tains no whiskey nor other in
toxicant, but acts as tonic and
alternative. It acts mildly on the
stomach and bowels, adding
strength and giving tone to the
organs, thereby aiding nature in
the performance of the functions.
Electric Bitters is an excellent
appetizer and aids digestion. Old
