NO SLEEPING-BAG FOR THEM
Laplanders Preferred the Snow and the Open Air, and So Had a
 Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Corn hill Magazine a good story that he had from Nansen, the explorer. It amusingly illustrates the hardy health of the Laplanders.
 Part of Nansen's equipment for his trip across Greenland consisted of two sleeping bags made of undressed skins. On the first night of the jour ney Nansen and his two Norwegian companions got into one of the bags, pulled the mouth tight across their necks, and so slept in the snow with only their heads out.
 Before retiring to rest, Nansen saw the three Laplanders he had engaged for the expedition cozily tucked into the other sleeping bag When he awoke in the morning. almost nuab with cold. he observed that the bag in which he had tied up the I.apland- CTS was empty, and that they were no where In sight He was afraid they had deserted him. and scrambling out of the bag he went in search of them. He found the three men fast asleep behind hillock of snow that they had scraped together as a pro lection against the wind

 She hurried on down the corridor and l hastened to finish my dressing, recalling as I did so Davis belief that there would be other suicides. It seemed absurd that there could be any connection between the suicide of a woman in a country hotel in an ob- scure New Jersey village and the two suicides the day before in New York, and yet there was at least one link between them.

Farms for Children

Perhaps the smallest farms in the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm, in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds of vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S.inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor it becomes a tiny OBJ
ject lesson in good roads.
