The Tale of PurposeIy Interrupted
Yachting Cruise.


A few seasons back well known
hostess chartered a splendid yacht for
August and invited large number of
her friends for three weeks cruise At
first all went well, though the party
was not specially well assorted, but
after a few days they began to evince
signs of being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs of
tncipient boredom, which became more
plainly evident each day. and at last
in despair she took counsel with one
of her guests. an Cd and experienced
yachtsman.
What on earth shall | do TO amuse
these peopleP' she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm, blue water and shook
his head doubtfully.
"a storm would enliven them up n
bit" he said, but the weather looks
quite settled. There is only one thing
to be done. You must arrange break
down; the engineer will manage that
all right for you. He has probably
often done so before. Then you must
make for the nearest port for repairs
and let your guests have run ashore.
Some of them, l expect, will find an
excuse for bidding you goodby and
those who remain with you will get
along all right together"
The hostess took her guests advice
and arrived at Toulon day later,
where nigh twenty of her guests bid
her goodby.-London NJ. a. Z.

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.
They Furnish the People With Shelter,
Clothing and Food.

They Furnish the Feoplo WIN oneNetf
Clothing and Food.
Some people have said that the rein
deer OF the northern regions is to the
inhabitants of those countries what
the horse, COW and sheep together are
to the dwellers in southern lands, and
very probably they are right What
would the Laplander be were he de-
prived of his favorite? How could he
travel without his pair Of reindeer
harnesscd to his sledge?
The reindeer has large black hoofs,
behind which are false or secondary
hoofs; the result is that when running
they make a Gathering sound. which
may be heard a good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes n long journey without seeming
tired, though it is only about four and
a half feet in height and not very
strong. Its horns are long and slender,
with branched rounded antlers, but
they are not much used in combat, like
those of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather is coolest. and their color
is lighter Usually it is brown and
white. but in the case of old animals
the hair is sometimes quite white.
From the skin of the reindeer the Lap
landers get not only their clothes but
also bedding and tents; the milk is
drunk and made into cheese and the
flesh is also good to eat. the tongue
and launches being particularly liked.
Pemmican. an important article of
food. is made by pouring fat over the
pounded meat and mixing them well

which he laid emphasis was the fact
that the defendant entered into an
agreement with the plaintiff that on

the time OF the occurrence were fixed
between the hours of and O'Clock
on December II, l9O9 that this agree
ment was not entered into until at the
very opening of the trial, when the

alleged they knew nothing of the ac-

waiting to testify. Passing Cotner's s
siding at very short intervals at that
time of day, it was held, were other
