4 DISAPPEARING RACE.
The Lapps Are Said to He Dying on at B Very Rapid
 Rate.

The Lapps are decreasing in num- bers. The most sanguine estimate of the number of the entire race in Nor way, Sweden and Russia does not place them above 54,000, and the num- Der has been placed far lower by a very competent authority, says Corn hill Magazine In Norbotten the num- Der of Lapps in 1897 was 3.375. of whom 2,500 were nomad Lapps and 875 were settled Lapps, since cer-. tain number of Lapp families, aban- doning their wandering habits, have built fixed habitations here and there, and endeavored, with more or less success, to initiate the life of the Swedish settler. That the race must eventually die out is certain, and it's diminution may be very speedy, though it's complete extinc- tion is perhaps still far off, since there is no other race that can possibly take its place in the high reindeer fjall. Yet even here we come upon a factor which has, I think, hardly been reckoned with. mean the de- crease of the herds of tame rein deer. This has been going on in the last quarter of century with strik- ing rapidity. In one district alone in the last 12 years the reindeer have diminished from an estimated 30,00O to an estimated 1000. This decrease is explained variously. The common est and most plausible explanation, which carries the authority of men we'll qualified to judge, is that the + G<e.. . T. been brought nearer to the Lapps by the opening of the Bothnian railway, has tempted them to part with their deer at rate too rapid for their pro- duction. The herds of reindeer, when they are taken off the high fjall down to the winter quarters, are now with in four or five days of Stockholm, and there is a good demand for rein1 deer flesh. It Is said that the Lapp, who is no more able to resist strong drink than any other half-civilized man, is piled freely with brandy, and in that state will. part with his rein deer for trifing sum, or even for fresh bottle of spirits or two. And he goes back to his fjall stripped of half his herd, and with nothing to show fer it. But have heard another cause also alleged, and that by equally good authorities It is said that Swedish state education is having upon the Lapps the effect which not uncommon1y follows the early stages of learning. Every autumn Swedes and Lapps alike send down their chil- dren to the nearest national school, where they remain for the winter months, the Lapps in most cases hay ing 'sseminaries'' to themselves. And it is declared that, in the case of both races alike. after a few years of this training the young genera tion, when it comes to the age of choosing it's waysof life, shows an un- willingness to return to the hard out door life of the homes in the in- terior.

VALUE OF IhUE LOVE
It's Hard Thing to Estimate It in
 Dollars and Cents.
Seems to Vary in Price from Thirty Gents to Life Itself-A Few Gases Illustrating the
 Fluctuations.

2 No one has yet lived who was able to place a true value upon love. Att tempts along this line have been made in the courts by men and women seek ing redress for the alienation of af- lection, but they usually grow fcti- tious in their estimates and seldom /, have the satisfaction of seeing their calculations borne out by the votes of 12 jurors. The tendency in, such litigation is to rate love at a figure considerably higher than facts will substantiate, and, as might be ex- pected, values vary according to the conditions attaching to each individual ease.
 There is, However, in Indiana a man who has satisfied himself on this ques- tion. Harvey Tallerday, of Elkhart, made up his mind how much his wife was worth to him and without att tempting to fix a standard for the. guidance of other husbands put a value on her and placed her on the market. She was sold. MT. Tallerday may have been influenced by the fact that he needed the money, but this condition does not enter into the gem eral proposition of the value of wife, because when a man is within a few cents of absolute bankruptcy he is apt to realize all he can on whatever he has to sell. Tallerday,s available assets were one wife, so when he went home and found her talking to Morgan Gordon he calmly, coolly and refectively announced that Mrs. Tal- lerday was for sale and that 30 cents would buy any man the foundation for home-a wife.
 Thirty cents was all that MT. Ta1- lerday asked for Mrs. Tallerday, be- cause he considered her worth no more
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-22

than that amount. It happened that Gordon was looking for bargains and it happened also that Mrs Tallerday was willing to be sold, so the transfer was agree eably made and everybody in- Nolved in the incident was satisfied.
 But this case, says the Chicago Trib- une, is one of the adverse extremes go- ing to prove that there cannot be any fixed value upon love. How unnatural and contrary to all established rules of sentiment such an incident must seem to the heroic figures in real, heart~ consuming romance. While the Indi- ana man was willing to dispose of his spouse for the paltry sum of 30 cents there are others who go to the other extreme in order to secure a wife. And it must be admitted that stories of the latter class are more in keeping with what the world calls heart in terest. Take, for instance, the recent marriage of Miss Ruby Simonds and J. P. Jansen at Clinton, Tenn In this case love rescued a young woman from the arms of death.
 The marriage ceremony itself was a weird affair, but the story attaching to it is full of romance, which began in a Chicago hospital while Miss Simonds was a professional nurse. It was the old, old story. She went to Minneapolis on visit, met Jan- sen, and they fell in love. His sta tion in life was not equal to hers and she was afraid to tell her parents of her love affair until she went to Clin- ton to visit. There she fell i'll with typhoid fever, and when fearing death she unburdened her heart and let out the secret. Jansen was sent for and he went south from Minnesota. A speedy marriage was agreed upon, and the ceremony was performed while the girl apparently was on her death bed. But love proved a great restora- tive, and the moment Miss Simonds became Mrs. Jansen she began to i'm prove. Now her ultimate recovery. is assured.
 Love must be of some value when it is rated higher than even life itself. Etta Cook, of New Haven, Conn, killed herself in the presence of Alfred Aus tell her lover, because he told her he was going away and might never. see her again. She didn't want to live without his love, so she took carbolic acid and died.
 Another strange case of lifelong de-. votion came to light recently in Mil ford, Pa, where George Gledhill, aged 50, and Anna Mayo, aged 76, were united in marriage. They had admired each other from early childhood, yet did not decide to marry until both were old with few years yet to live. After the ceremony was performed they began making preparations for death. Within a stones throw of their house Gledhill has built a mauso- ieum for himself and bride. The tombs have been prepared and each is suit ably inscribed with a headstone bear ing the names of the bride and groom.

snafLg De1ight i'm Music.

A German scientist recently pointed out that snails were able to draw inn mense weights, and now French nat uralist claims that there are few, if any, animals which have a higher ap- preciation of music than snails. Place some snails on apane of glass, he says, and you will find that, as they move over it they will make musical sounds similar to those which person can produce by wetting his finger and then rubbing it around a glass tumbler. Complete airs, he points out, have been played on tumblers in this way, and he expresses the opinion that quite as good results can be obtained by using snails instead of fingers.

ONG, IF NOT SJV E E7 |.

The Constitutional Conventions swan song is long drawn out, but it isn't very sweet. It is never too late to mend, and it seems to be never too late to introduce new plans for repre- sentation. Some were slung into the proceedings yesterday and some were slung out. The clerks of the Conven- tion were voted generous pay, and 1t was resolved to have the stenographic report of the proceedings properly paid for so that it can be properly preserved. This is entirely right. By and by the report of the proceedings of this Con venton will furnish some interesting material for use in papers read before historical societies, and it may also be encouraging to the next Constitutional Convention which finds that 1t does not know what to do or how to do it.
 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. So does a Constitutional Convention that is too long about dying.

WEEDS.

| John D. Maud of Butler county, Ohio,
 who has just died, was celebrated tor | his hatred of weeds and the industry and persistence with which he attacked them during his life. And his ruling passion was so strong when he made his will that he left a fund of $4,000 to
 be used in keeping down the weeds in l the graveyard where he is buried.
 Brother Maud did not live in van
 even if he did no more than keep the weeds out of his garden and provide
 for keeping them off of his grave. But
 perhaps his thorough hostility to the
 weeds of his garden and his graveyard
 influenced him to attack the weeds which are so prompt in springing up and choking the good growths in the heart of man Perhaps he fought the weeds of envy, hatred, undue ambition, self1shness and all the other vile ones. If he didn't he ought to have done it in order to be consistent, and set thor oughly good example Blessed is the man who hath a Weedless garden and a weedless graveyard, and thrice blessed is the man who manages to keep down the weeds that spring up to smother the growth of his good impulses.

from the Chinese Boxers" The line
 of argument adopted is that foreign
 capitalists, engineers, and managers have invaded the country for no other
 the toiling Russian masses. Oppressed
 work people are told to remember that
 lead and steel are cheap. This outcry
 against the foreigners is regarded as the more surprising, because the move ment is partly of foreign origin The most active agents in rousng the Rus sian workman to a sense of his misera- | ble situation have been the hundreds of well-educated men who have aban- | doned their own careers ill order to live among the people and teach them, not only to read and write, but the doc trlnes of revolutionary socialism. This teaching, however, would have had lit- tie effect. possibly, had it not been that in most of the mills and factories the hands came into contact with foreign workmen, from whom they heard of the rights and liberties enjoyed by the la boring classes in other countries. How deeply they have appreciated the lesson is shown by report, on what is said to be good authority, that a deputation of Moscow workingmen have waited upon M. de Plehve, the new Minister of the Interior, armed with translation of the rules of one of the English trade unions, and requested permission to form themselves into similar organiza- tions. In the event of refusal. they threatened to call a general strike in all the factories of Moscow.
 Russia has always been very inter esting country and it is now going to be more interesting than ever.
