DOMESTIC REINDEER IN ALASKA

The reindeer in Arctic and sub
Arctic lands combines more varied
and greater benefits to millions of
people than any other animal, fur
nishing food, clothing house. furni-
ture, household utensils, weapons of
hunting and war and transportation.
Among the first essentials of life
is food To hundreds of thousands of
people reindeer milk, cheese and
meat is their principal diet; its mar
row and tongue are considered great
delicacies; its blood, mixed with the
contents of its stomach, makes q fa-
vorite dish, and its intestines are
c'e. ned. rlled with tallow and eaten
as a sausage.
Does man need clothing? Entire
communities wear reindeer skin
clothing sewed with reindeer sinew
using reindeer horn needles and
thimbles, With the thermometer reg
istering from 40 to rs degrees below
zero reindeer fur mittens and boots
protect hands and feet
For shelter from the inclemency of
an Arctic winter reindeer skins cover
the outside of their large tents; rein
deer skins compose the inner parti
tions separating the family bed
rooms; reindeer skins make all their
bedding, reindeer hair fills their pill
lows and reindeer skin carpets cover
their floors; reindeer horn makes
many of the household implements
and reindeer bones soaked in seal oil
helps exc out their scanty supply of
fuel. Reindeer rawhide takes the
place of iron bolts in fastening to-
gether the runners, knees and cross
pieces of their sleds, and reindeer
skins form the sails to their boats.

The career OF well known English
painter. Hawkins, furnishes a strange
Instance OF youthful precocity come
To naught At twenty years of age
he was the center OF acelamation Ey-
erycne thought he was sure to do
great things.
Hawlsins failure was ascrIbed to his
conyiviality. A boon companion, every
one setting out for "a night OF it"
wanted Hawkins along as n matter Of
course. And Hawkins was only too
glad To be bcguiled.
Once he was asked by Ackers. a
member OF parliament. to accompany
him and one or two others to Paris,
the host promising to give him a holl-
day and pay all his expenses For
once Hawkins demurred,
I'm busy on a picture" said he,
'and want 70 finish 1t for the ex-
hibition."
Never mind that" said Ackers.
Bring itwith YOU and paint it.there."
Hawking yielded. as he always did
in the end, and the picture was put
INTO the carriage, As they were driv-
ing along Ackers asked to be allowed
to look at the work When 1t was
uncovered. he said.
What do you want for IT."
Il shall want fifty pounds for 1t
when it's finished" answered Haw-
kins.
Good exclaimed the joyial NJ. p.
I'm give 1t to you, and what's more,

he kicked hole through the canvas.
