REGARDING CELLAR DOORS
From the old-Time Door Of Wood to
the Newest Of Galvanized
Steel

Time was when cellar doors were all
made of wood with iron strap hinges,
each complete door consisting of pair
of wooden flap doors closing in the mid
die, to be thrown back on either side
when the door was opened. A weather
strip was nailed along the edge of one
of these flaps.
Outside the houses. and in fact in
many other places, says the New York
Sun, such cellar doors were often set at
an incline from the building, so that
they would the better shed water; and
these were the traditional cellar doors
down which children loved to slide, as
they still do, for that matter, wherever
such cellar doors are found.
Cellar doors, either fiat or inclined.
are still to be found in countless num-
bers everywhere, and in cities as we'll
rs in the country. Plenty may yet be
seen, for instance, in New York. But
along much Travelled business thorough
fares in<cities wooden cellar doors were
soon worn away and broken under the
incessant scraping and trampling of
many thousands of feet and so in such
situations wooden cellar doors were
long ago largely supplanted by cellar
doors of iron, these not inclined but set
level with the sidewalk, so that they
would form no impediment to travel.
These were wide departure from tho
old-time wooden cellar door, but they
have now been long familiar in such
localities, and for time it must have
seemed. if anybody ever gave them a
thought, that in them had been reached
the limit in cellar door construction.
But the really modern city cellar door
is to them what they were to the an
cient cellar door of wood.
The newest city cellar door, de-
signed for use in crowded streets. one
introduced within recent years, is
built Of steel, and galvanized, and
hung on heavy brass hinges. OF rigid
construction in it's own parts, and
shutting into rigid frame, this cellar
door when closed is as firm support
to the feet as the surrounding side.

vanizing of the door and the hanging

Swedish Laplanders have long had

Swedish Laplanders have long had
the right to wander over into Norway
in search of pasturage for their rein
deer herds, and the Norwegian nomads
possessed the right to 60 over into
Swedish territory. One of the articles
in the recent Norway-Sweden settle
ment dealt with pasture privileges for
the Laplanders of either country,
which matter, deemed of sufficient i'm
ton, awakened our curiosity about the
nomadic Laplander.
The name Lapp, given to these peo-
pie by the Swedes, means nomad; they
call themselves Sameh, or Samehlats.
The word Lapland refers to no pOlitf-
cal entity, but a region in northwest
Europe of between $4,000 and 10000
square miles. t'Its southern boundary
is not definitely defined, but it may be
said to extend south in Norway ap.
proximately to latitude 65 degrees, in
Sweden to latitude GA degrees, and in
Russia to latitude 66 degrees. It in

HORACE GREELEY'S HOME.
Production of Colonial Period New
Hampshlre's Most Noted
Landmark.

Scarcely so miles from Boston, iso-
lated, in delightful rural community
among New Hampshire's hills, shell
tered by protecting oaks and elms, deco
rated with fruitful orchards and fertile
gardens, surrounded by dense thickets
of pine forests, homelike and coy, with
all its woeful lack of paint, is a quaint
old-fashioned farmhouse.
Not the large, roomy, old domicile
of colonial days, nor the rough unfin-
ished and uncouth shack of frontier
farmer; rather, a small, real homelike
New Hampshire farmhouse. Six rooms
measure the size of the house. with
woodshed and cattle barns near by.
The exact date when the old house
was built is unknown, but it is a pro-
duction of the colonial period of archi-
lecture; for before the revolution a
band of counterfeiters occupied it. and
here manufactured, until captured by
the authorities, their spurious coin.

Blashtield Hunnicott had been having
the exciting experiences OF a decade

he had begun besieging the headQuar-

lions, and, owing to Kent's good in
tentions to be on the ground in per-

At length to his unspeakable re-
lief, he had news of the coming spe-
cial; and with the conviction that help
was at hand he waited at the station
with what GOODNESS there was in him
to meet his chief. But as the time
for the hearing drew near he grew
nervous again: and all the keen pains
OF utter helplessness returned with re-
newed acuteness when the operator,
who had overheard the Juniberg-Le

to be branch Of the Firms, another
that they are descendants of Mongo-
liam tribes driven northward and mi

They are not by any means pure
race: the language is related to that
of the Films, many of their family
names are Swedish. They are short of
stature, their faces triangular, cheek
bones high, noses fiat, their black eyes
small, the hair chestnut or black.
There are coast Laps and reindeer
Laps; the latter, dwell in the interior,
the former make their living largely
by fishing and hunting. The Norwe-
gian coast Lapps keep many reindeer;
the fishing Lapps, that own no rein
deer, are more settled folk, those
with herds perforce moving from place
to place to obtain pasturage. The deer
feed on an underground of lichens and
moss, and when this has been nibbled
close it is not disable again for years.

found in Swedish southern Lapland are
considered of superior quality, and
there are large quantities in that re-

has led to railroad extension in the

AS for the dispossessed stock-hold-
ers in the faraway east, they were
slow to take the alarm, and still slower
to get concerted action. Like many.
OF the western roads, the Western
Pacific had been capitalized largely
by popular subscriptions; hence there
was no single holder, or group of
holders, Of sufficient financial weight
to enter the field against the spoilers.
But when Loring and his associates
had fairly got the wires hot with the
tale of what had been done, and the
much more alarming tale of what
was likely to be done, the Boston
inertness vanished. A pool of tae
stock was formed, with the members
of the advisory board as a nucleus:
money was subscribed, and no less a
legal light than an ex-attorney-genelal
of the state of Massachusetts was de-
spatched to the seat of war to i'd

None the less, disaster out-travels the
swiftest of limited" trains. Before
the heavily-feed consulting attorney
had crossed the Hudson in his western
journey, Wall Street had taken notice,
and there was momentary splash in
the troubled pool of stock exchange
and a vanishing circle Of ripples to
show where the Western Pacific had
gone down. - s>.@ r.. :.
In the meantime Major Guilford,

His first official act as receiver was
