They all smoke tobacco, and every
Lapp has a tobacco sack suspended
from his neck.
They are supposed to be Monror-
ans, but whence they came is a mys-
terry no ethnologist has satisfactorily
explained.
They are the shortest-hcaded race
in the world, Lapp skull measuring
less from top 90 bottom than the skull
OF any other modern.
The LappS have a language Of their
own, but lipguists are not agreed az
70 what il is. 1t has a little Russian.
little Finnish, a little Swedish in it.
No Lapp ever leaves Lapland. No
Lapp ever aspires 20 make any de-
parture from the Lapp method OF hv-
ing. which - to-day just what it was
1900 years ago.
They we're supposed for time to
be the only people in the world with
out taste for music and unable 20
sing a song. but these beliefs concern

wholly correct.
The Lapps are Lutherans. Before
they embraced the Christian religion

SENT UP WRONG SIGNALS.
Confederate Trick on the Yankees
That Didn't Turn Out n Wen

a group OF confederate officers were
seen together the other night in the
Fifth Avenue hotel. New FORK, and
they were talking away as lively az O
party Of schoolboys about the days
when they wore the gray. One of
them, who had won his title of colonel,
says the Detroit Free Press, related
several interesting stories which the
newspaper man lurking near failed

marked:

signal al Fort Hudson, and shall give

The colonel looked nervous. but the
speaker went on:
The colonel was a lieutenant then
and an officer in a light battery sta
tioued at an advance post at the
confederate right. and dangerously
close TO the union line.
The union troops had been directed
at night by signals sent up from .ari-
Gus points around Fort Hudson. and
always some hard scrap followed
these skyrocket affairs. until Gen.
Beaie, second in command to Gen.
Frank Gardner, commander Of the
confederate position. decided 10 coun-
teract these signals.

post spoken Of, through the ditch dug
for the purpose. Gen. Beale said to
the colonel here, then lieutenant:
This is the very spot 10 send up
signals tonight, as most Of the union
signaling is done from close 10 your
post here
THE lieutenant agreed at once with
the general
new, we can utterly confuse their
signal at all other points around the
line, said the general. If you will get
some rockets ready, and if they send
up two reds, you follow with two blues,
quickly, or vice versa-see?'
THE lieutenant saw, and entered in
TO the spirit Of the plan with pleas
