Lapland folk never speak Of them
selves as Laplanders, or Laps: they

known people. the people of whom no
one knows anything. not even whence
they came.
II any mention Is made In their
presence Of Norwegian. Swedish, Fin
nish or Russian Lapland. their feelings
are sorely wounded. for there Is only
one Lapland, they hold. and It Is their
land, the land Of the Samelatsch.
These folk. as other folk. have their
whims and fancies, their little peculi-
arities. too.
They regard soap, for instance. with
profound mistrust, and have no great
faith in washing; no faith at all, in.
deed. In washing In warm water.
AS soon as a baby Is born they battle
1t in cold water; and they battle II

years old. Then the end comes.
The child is pronounced clean for
life and has never another bath.

the body. However. when walking
through grass in which the mites live.
the person is most liable to become
infested from the knees down. The

tubes or pores Of the skin, and as
their progress is necessarily slow,
from q few minutes time to about
twelve hours elapse before the CHG.

danger that the sufferer in scratching
with finger nails may open the skin
and cause an infection from germs in
his nails, but no such cases have been
recorded SO far as known.
Where the Pest 10 Found.
Chiggers are most abundant and
troublesome in the tropics. They are,
however. also generally distributed in
the Gulf states up the Mississippi
