WOLF HUNTS IN LAPLAND.

Reindeer Must Be Protected as They
 .. Are the Nations Wealth.
 The Swedish Lapps are said to live entirely with. by and upon their rein deer. A I.app who owns a thousand deer is a rich man. but as taxes are as. sessed upon the number of deer he Is inclined to underestimate his herd.
 The most dangerous enemy of the herd is the wolf which can kill any deer. A hand of wolves can make 2 rich Lapp poor 4, d.. '
 When the snow Is deep and soft and it is announced that wolf tracks have been seen in the neighborhood of the deer the swiftest runners on snowshoes prepare for an exciting chase.
 The wolf may have start of milS or two. but the track it leaves in the deep, soft snow is so conspicuous that the hunters can follow it at their beSi speed. The wolf. though he may ruT swiftly, has but a slight chance of es caping his pursuers on their snow shoes.
 Each hunter does his best to outruT the others. for the wolf belongs to the Tapp who strikes the first blow. As soon as the leading hunter Is close enough to the wolf he gives it heavy blow across the Joins with his strong spiked snowshoe staff. If there are other wolves to be pursued he kills fl outright. If not. he disables it and waits till all the hunters have arrived before giving the death stroke Pitts burgh Press. ..'

A Crank In the Commons.

MT. mer-Atkinson was a curious psychological study, An astute man of business. he was founder and first president of the chamber of shipping of the United Kingdom. But in the house he proved veritable crank z One of his habits was to stalk in ghOstly fashion from behind the chair, suddenly to utter some unexpected and irrelevant remark in q stage whisper into Speaker Feels ear and then van ish. Poor Mir. Peel stood it patiently for awhile. At last. however. it got on his nerves. Old parliamentary hands remember the sensation that was caused one night when the speak CT was obliged to appeal to the house for "protectiOn" against these persist
 ent Hnnoyances. Soon afterward Mir

Animals Lured to Death by the Mystic ase Call of the Sea. r~''

Animals Lured to Death by the Mystic .~. Call of the Sea. PA Scottish naturalist ill Edinourgn has recently given to the world some interesting facts which go to show now animals as we'll as human beings rei ,.uond to the lure of the sea. ana now +huv will travel sometimes for nun drAds of miles to answer its call ana than hush on into its waters 10 tnelr own destruction.
 The most curious example or thls tendency is found in the seaward mi c,w ton of the small brown. moiellkke mo- K 2 lemmings. These animals will at cer- tain, times leave the highlands Of scan dinnvia and march in vast hordes to- ward the lowIands, moving only by night and following the general trend 0f the valleys. They hold tenacfously .to the general direction in which they set mt and are diverted neither by streams nor by moderately sized lakes. Eventually, after a march lasting from one to three years, the army. devastat' cd, of course by many foes. reaches the sea, but not for its own good' for' uueerly enough, the end of the journey Is not attained. and many of the little animals push on into the waters, full filling to their own destruction the un- accountable impulse to push forward ., Other creatures likewise are known
 loifnIl under the spell of the sea. It is rather commonly known how the Flu
 ronean reindeer will spend the hard
 weather of winter on the highlands ot Scandinavia and Russin and feed spar ihgly on snow covered moss and H. chens and then in summer. in spite o1 |athe fact that food has become more
 nIentifuI inland., will forsake these
 haunts for the ,eseacoast. - Chicago HrihlIne .-

 That Africa. with its millions of idle negroes. should suffer from scarcity of labor seems to the outsider incredible, .but.it iss4a fact that the securing and distribution, of labor is the. most vital factor in the economic, life of the con h tinent south. of the, equator, It has been estimated that the Rand pays .$3Oo.oOo' d year to recruit the contin- gent from Portuguese East Africa alone. this sum covering only the ex- .pense of getting the boys from their homes and back again.
