The Babies Of Lapland

7 APLAND is away up north, and up
IL there the snow lasts six or eight
months in the year. The mothers
love to go to church. and they go regu-
lariy every Sunday. even when they
have little babies to care for and when
they have not a nurse.
They wrap the babies up in warm
clothes, often in bear skins or something
just as warm, and then carry them
along to church. Even if they have to
go ten or fifteen miles. they will take
the baby along. 1t is wrapped up
warmly. and does not catch cold They
usually go in sleighs, drawn, not by a
horse or mule. but by reindeer.
AS soon as the family arrives at the
little church and the reindeer is secured,
the father Lapp shoyels snug little
bed In the snow, and mother Lapp
wraps baby snugly in skins and lays it
down there. Then the father piles the
ents &c into the church.
Over twenty or thirty of these babies

Madame Rain sobbed aloud and raised

the DANES diminished nose. Down she
fell on the hearth rug in swoon, and
Claudine directly took hold of her round
the waist and pitched her into the
kitchen sink. They heard her slip down
the leaden pipe and fall inte the cistern
at the bottom. And John PeteS care
fully closed the lid by putting large
1agstone on top of it.
At the same moment the spout was
empty. the rivulets ceased to murmur
outside. the leaves of the trees dried,
the earth absorbed all the water that
had fallen. and the sky put off its
mantle of clouds and put on that with
stars all over it. and the moon shone
out clear and bright far away over
the plain.

lie out there in the snow around the
church, ard I never heard of one that
was SufOcated or frozen. The snow
does not make them cold, for when the
snow covers person all over, if he has
clothing enough, so that the snow will
net melt and wet him, the snow will
keep him warm. And the little babies
are not strong enough to knock the
snow aside and get away, so they just
lie still and sleep.
Then when church is out the father
goes out to where the baby is and puts
his arm down in the snow and pulls the
baby out and shakes off the snow, and
then the reindeer trots off, good deal
faster than horse, and takes them all
home again.-Christian Observer.
