Natures Wise Provisions.

Many ScandinaVians have decid.
edly different anatomical construction
from less hyperborean people. In
these hardy northmen the layer of
Tat under the skin, panniculus adipo-
sus, is somewhat seal-iike and blub-
berry, something like in those cold sea
animals, the whale, seal and walrus.
Also the blood vessels in this fat are
somewhat oyerdeveloped as in sea
mammals. All this comes about from
exposure to the seventies OF disease
and climate. 1t is no unusual thing
for Norwegians mad Swedes to stay
In icy cold water for hours hunting
sea weed without suffering sickness
or discomfort.

on Boston Common

Comparatively few people know that
there was once a spinning school,
on Boston Common. Winsor's Memo
rial History of Boston records that
upon the arrival in Boston Of some
irish spinners and weayers a spinning
craze took possession of the town,
"and the women, young aud old, high
and low, rich and poor, fiocked into
the spinning school, which for want of
better quarters, was set up in the Com
mon. I'm the open air. Here the whirr
Of their wheels was heard from morn
ing TO night" Thirty-five years later
the Society for Encouraging Industry
and Employing the Poor again used
the Common as spinning school,
about 300 young women appearing
there.
