asr,s Dress

The operation os dressing in
cold weather in the far north is
50 elabbrte that it is difficult %
understand howa deliberate boy
or girl id Lapland can be ready
foribreakfast before dinner time.
FIRST, two suits Of thick wooden
underclothing are put on, and
over these goes q shirt of rein
deer skin, with cloth bands TO
iasten at the wrists; sometimes
two Of these shirts or kaptas are
worn, and q reindeer vest beneath
them. The trousers are OF rein
deer skin also. Two pairs OF
heavy wooden stockings are worn
and the child who puts these on
when they are damp is sure to.
have trouble with his feet.
Around the feet a peculiar grass.
we'll dried, is carefully bound.
and over all this goes the shoes.
Buttons and hooks and eyes are
scarce in Lapland; al! clothing is
fastened by strings, and it is
dreadful to think OF all the hard
knots that Lap children have
over while too sleepy to
be amiable.-Moderator.

Looked Very Much alike.

The famous Quincys, father and son.
of Massachusetts. were so much alike
at one time. in spite of their differ
ence in years. that it was hard to tell
them apart. Once ut a public dinner.
where both father and son were pres
ent. toast was given to the fa.her.
Instantly the younger Quincy rose to
his feet, and, pointing to his venerable
father. said: "My son will respond"
This is thought to be the only instance
in which son has ever claimed to be
his fathers father.

CHARLIE MABRY

His head and body were q mass
Of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
I him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condt,
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
/ had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to In
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing It out
Of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken dozen bottles, no one who
knew Of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
eores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"

Richmond Cornwall, Of Kansas City,
