Mrs. Pechell had three sons, officers,
ordered to the Cape, and Two of them
are now dead. Sir Anthony Weldon, of
Kildare, when the war began had four
sons, three brothers and five nephews in
the service. The list is now one less,
since Capt. Weldon was killed at Dun

widow of an Irish sergeant, whose
seven sons are serving in the ranks AT

Lord George Hamilton, secretary OF

has three sons in the war. including
Lord Tullibardine, his heir, while three

paddle. With Sidney on one side and
Seneca on the other, they could work
it quite vigorously, and they were de-
lighted to see what good progress they
now made with their unwieldly craft.
BY the end of another half hour they
had crossed the channel and floated up
against large ice field.
II believe it's the main ice!" cried
Seneca, as he jumped up and down on it
to test it.
The boys clapped on their skates and
sped toward the shore. 1t proved 10 he
the firm ice they were on, and in ten
minutes they were standing on The
shore not far from the Marine hospital.
They were in high spirits now, as
they trudged toward home. When
about two o'clock they appeared at
their homes, anxious hearts were re-
lieved and there was little disposition
to scold them for venturing too far out
on the ice.
But honest Seneca said to his mother:

LAPLANDERS IN DISTRESS
They Have Lost Many Reindeer and
Have Become Very POor-Some
or ihe Causes.

Those famous nomads of North Eu-
rope, the Laplanders, have been unfor-
tulate in recent years, and the Nor
wegian press is calling attention to
their sad condition. The newspapers
even say that unless something is done
for the Lapps or a fortunate change oc-
ours in their condition they will dwin-
die away and finally disappear, victims
of the circumstances that have bereS
them of the larger part of their sole
wealth. Not many years ago the av-
erage head Of a family in Lapland
owned at least "A score of reindeer, and
some of the wealthiest men had 900 to
1000 animals. The largest herds to-day
do not contain over 500 reindeer, and
many Lapps who once owned hundreds
of deer do not now possess more than
in Lapland, for the deer is the sole cap.
ital of the country. To live in comfort
family of five persons must sell or
kill from 80 to so animals year, and
this requires a herd of from 300 to 500
deer. But many families now do not
own enough deer to keep them in food
and clothing.
A variety of causes has combined to
decimate the herds. Fatal diseases have
for some years been particularly preva-
lent. Then the area of pasturage has
been diminishing because settlers from
the south have been invading Lapland.
The new peasantry are not on the
friendlest terms with the Lapps, and
when deer stray into their Enclosures
they are shot. Beasts of prey are also
responsible for the disappearance of
many deer, and all these causes have
combined to destroy the property Of
the poor Lapps, who, from their point
of view, were once rery well to do in the
world

THE HIGHEST TROLLEY.
Switzerland Maintains Car Lines In
the Clouds, $3.50 Feet Above
Sea Level.

The highest electric railway thrt
has ever been built now runs up 2,l0o
feet above Davos, which is itself $3.50
feet above the level of the sea. The
new line is one of the first in Swift
erland to be worked by electricity.
The winter season was marked by the
opening Of the funicular railway up
the Schatzalp. The first car to start
upward was greeted by thousands,
who turned out to see it.
At the top of the Schatzalp, where
the railway ends, a great sanitarium
Of wondrous size is in course of erec-
tion and will be opened to the pub
lie next year. There can be no doubt
that other institutions will speedily
spring up on the Schatzalp. The
prospect from the other station is ex-
tremely grand. At the foot of the
mountain lies the valley of Davos, with
its long trail OF houses, while all
around rise gigantic snow-tipped
mountains, covered with forests Of fir.
At night the ascent is well worth
making, on account of the fairyike
appearance of the town in the valley,
lit up with hundreds of electric lights,
which look wonderfully beautiful in
the thin Alpine air against the black
background of the mountains.
