Tho Leech as a Barometer,

A leech confined in a glass jar of
water will prove an excellent weather
prophet. If the weather is to con
tinue fine the leech lies motionless at
the bottom Of the vial and rolled to,
gether in spiral form. If it is to
rain, either before or after noon, it is
found to have crept up to the top of
its lodging and there remains till the
weather is settled. If we are to have
wind the prisoner wriggles through bis
limpid habitation with amazing swift
ness and seldom rests till it begins to
blow hard. If a remarkable storm of
thunder and rain is to succeed the
leech gives itself up to violent throes
and cOnvulsive motions. In frost, as
in clear summer weather, 1t lies con.
stantly at the bottom. and in snow, as
in rainy weather. it pitches its dwell
ing on the very mouth Of the jar.

POET OF MANY VERSES.

The impecunious French poets Of the
middle Gig hteenth century used to con

most facilc Of the bards was Pellc-
grin, Of whom n characteristic story is
told in "An Eighteenth Century Mar

the cafe and began complaining that
he was going to be married and had
no epithalamium for his wedding. Pei
legrin fastened to offer one Of his own
compositions. 4 deal was soon ar
ranged. and the price agreed upon was
20 sous a verse. The poet disappeared.

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.
They Furnish tho People With Shelter,
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 dwcllers in southern lands, and
very probably they are right. What
would the Laplandcr 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 good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes long journey without seeming
tired, though it is only about four and
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 1t 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.

ST. BERNARD DOGS.

Arc Said to Be MongreIs.
Among American tourists in Switzer
land there is much rivalry for securing
real" st. Bernards to take home with
them. They evidently do not know
that the St. Bernards are mongrels
The original ST. Demands saw the
light toward the end Of the fourteenth
century. The mother was Wallis
shepherd dog, the sire mongrel Of a
Great Dane and Spanish mountain
mastiff.
In the winter Of 1912 nearly all the
dogs lost their lives in the snow. In
1916 the last St. Bernard dog died.
But monk Of Martingny had mon
grel st. Bernard, and this was crossed
with Wallis sheep dogs. The breed
ing being done in scientific manner,
the present race Of St. Bernards,
though mOngrel, like the first, is better
and stronger than the old ones, it is
said.
The railways have made use Of St.
Demands almost unnecessary now, yet
they continue on the old stand In win

male dogs are used for rescuing men
In distress. They are followed by men
on snowshoes, who carry provisions.
Each Of the older dogs has one or more
