Reindeer Is Held Unique
Among the Deer Family

The reindeer is unique among
deer In that the female, like the
male, carries antlers, although they
are smaller. It also differs from
most deer in having young without
spots, writes Ernst Schwarz in Ma
ture magazine. The reindeer is the
only deer that has become attached
to man and has been domesticated.
The range of the reindeer (the
name being here used In its broad.
est sense) includes the Arctic por-
tons Of both the old and the New
Worlds. In America it is called the
caribou. It is found in Scandinavia,
Spitzbergen. northern Russia, Sibe-
ria, as well as in Alaska, most Of
Canada, Greenland and other Arc
tic islands. During the great Ice age
reindeer were forced much farther
south. In France and Germany their
meat provided q staple food for
paleolithic man. and their antlers
and bones the material for his tools
and weapons. Some of the rock en-
cravings left in the caves Of west.

Many of the phrases we use In
popular speech are similar in mean
ing and in origin. For instance,
letting the cat out of the bag"
and buying a pig in a poke" both
came from the same source, though
they have different meanings, says
Pearson's London Weekly. To let
the cat out of the bag is to dis
close or give away some secret; to
buy a pig in a poke is to clinch a
presumed bargain without taking
the necessary steps to make sure
that the transaction is all it is
claimed to be. Long, long ago, I'm
scrupulous persons would take a cat
tied up in bag Cor poke) to market
and there try to sell it, saying that
the bag contained a pig. Wise pur-
chasers, however, would take the
precaution of looking inside to YER
ify the fact, an act that often 'let
the cat out Of the bag" Those not
so wise-well, they bought a pig
in a poke"

Early Bridal Furniture
Was Daintilv Decorated

B. Many Of the household furnishings
Of the early days of settlement Of
this country furnish a charming ex-
preston of the decorative art Of
craftsmen who were called upon to
supply the needful household arti-
cles in new land.
This is true of the folk art Of the
early settlers who played so promi-
nent a part in the colonizing Of
Pennsylvania, relates Alice r. Roll
Inns in the Los Angeles Times. Their
bride-boxeS, dover chests, cup
boards, tinware, pottery, fabrics.
birth certificates, wagons, in fact,
everything they made, furnish an
expression Of folk art in decorative
painting that is peculiarly their
own. Most Of this painting belongs
to the Eighteenth century, although
a piece may now and then be found
belonging to the Seventeenth and
again to the early part of the Nine
teenth.
This art may be seen at its best
in their bride-boxes, which were
made to hold the linen and other
small finery dear to the heart Of
the prospective bride. for her per-
sonal use. They were gifts of the
bridegroom-to-be and were given at
the time of the wedding or shortly
before. "a
The boxes were either round or
oval in shape and were made Of
thin pieces Of white pine. They were
left implanted on the inside, though
sometimes lined with decorated pa
per pasted over the entire surface.
Outside they were generally covered
with solid ground color-red, yell
low, blue, green, brown, straw col
or. according to the inclination Of
the painter. On this ground color
the various decorative designs were
painted in bright colors. AS rule
the painting was crude and uncon-
ventional, but the general effect has
a freshness and vigor that gives it
a special charm.

Gossamer, Filmy Cobweb,
Is Produced by Spiders

GosSamers are flmy cobwebs
floating in the air or clinging to
plants and other objects. Spiders
eject them like other webs, In the
form of viscid fluid. Sometimes sew
eral threads are produced stimuli
taneously.
It is supposed that the gossamers
are spun when the spider is on an
elevated point and that some Of the
webs are waited by the wind as they
are elected. Not infreQuently the
spider itself is carried away with q
tangle of webs. Often the single
strands of the web are so fine that
they can not be seen readily except
when the sun is shining on them.
''Gossamer'' is supposed to be de-
rived from "gos," goose, and ''som-
err" summer It is generally as
sumed, states writer in the In
dianapolis News, that goose" In
this connection refers to the
"downy" appearance Of the gossa-
mer: but the theory has been ad-
vanced that the word may have al
luded originally to the clear warm
weather which frequently occurs in
the fall when geese are supposed
to be in season and to have been
extended to the chief characteristic
of this period In some sections,
namely. the appearance Of these
webs.
Far-fetched as the theory may
seem, the fact that ':summer-goose''
is localism in England for ''gossa-
mer" is pointed out in confirmation.
Gossamers are in fact seen chiefly
during warm weather in the fall,
and this has led some naturalists to
the conclusion that these cobwebs
are produced only by young spiders.
Chaucer refers to the gossamer as
an unsolved riddle, and 1t was once
widely believed that this phenome-
non was somehow produced by dew.

Large Opal Mining Center

That Kenya colony, in East Africa,
was once large opal mining center
was disclosed by discoveries made
in cave near Nakuru. Excavations
revealed that the cave was used by
prehistoric man as a place of burial,
the method being to dig hole, place
a body in it and then light fire on
top. Eventually, when the dead had
to be buried, excavations were
made through the charred remains
Of those inferred years before.
Among the objects found were beau
tifully carved opal, jade and rock
crystal beads. The excavators be-
lieve that traders about 1000 B. c.
went there from the Mediterranean
to buy opaIs from East African
mines.

Hornbill, Odd Bird, Has
Beak Heavier Than Rodv

Hornbills, birds of the Picarian
order, range from about II inches
In length to one which measures five
feet from the tip Of the beak to the
end of the tail. When we look at
one Of the larger hornbills, observes
a writer in London Tit-BitS maya
zine, we wonder how it manages to
keep its balance with beak that ap-
pears to be heavier than the body.
Some species carry crown or horn
above the great beak, and this adds
to the weight.
1t is thought that the strange ap-
pearance of hornbills caused the an
cient invaders Of India to originate
the myth of the phoenix. This tells
us Of a fabulous female bird that
lived for FIVE or six hundred years
in the desert, then built for herself
a funeral pyre of wood and aromatic
gums, to which she set fire by the
tanning of her wings, and so con-
sumed herself; but from the ashes
she sprang up again in youth and
freshness to live a few more GEN.
turtles.
The hornbills of Africa have a
loud, weird cry which often fright
ems superStitious natives; it reSem-
bles the braying Of an ass or the
loud cries of a person in pain.
This remarkable note not only keeps
away native hunters, but also mon
keys, wild cats, and other creatures
that might prey upon them.

Why Prefer Particular Colors

Each Of US has a preference for
some particular color. but not all
Of us know why. A slight knowl-

likes. It is wise to consider the
characteristic properties of individ

change the color combinations in
our homes. Red. for instance, SYM

Michigan Wolverines,

The usual explanation for the
nickname Wolverine" according
to the Detroit News, is the fact
that this territory in its early days
abounded with the fur-bearing ami
NAL known as the wolverine or glut-
ton. This animal, now extinct in
Michigan. belonged to the weasel
family. Another explanation, how
ever. is that Conrad Ten Eyck, a
tavernkeeper about the year 1900
made a specially of wolf steaks.
After his guest had eaten a beef
steak or lamb chop, he would be
asked, How did you like your wolf
steak?" A young girl who had been
told in this manner that she had
eaten wolf steak replied, 'Then I
suppose ] am a Wolverine" The
name, first applied to those who
had eaten at this inn, was later ex-
tended to all the inhabitants of
Michigan.

Demand for Meat as Old
AS Most Ancient People

In the story of food, meat is Of
prime importance. For thousands
OF years, men have eaten meat,
bought meat, traded for meat, hunt
ed for meat, and fought for meat.
The demand for meat is as old
as the human race. Old China en-
joyed roast pork and sausages be-
fore the dawn Of the Christian era.
In all countries, meat is q highly
valued article Of food.
We Americans are hearty meat
eaters. It takes 142 pounds Of meat
each year, per person, to satisfy US.
More than AZ per cent Of this meat
is pork and 48 per cent is beef and
veal. Poultry and eggs, too, are
produced on nearly 5000, 900 farms
OF this country, to the extent Of bill
lions Of pounds, asserts an authori-
ty in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
In our plans for securing a sup
ply Of meat, we have come q long
way from the time when the head Of
the house went out with club or
spear to hunt the wild game. The
gigantic job Of supplying meat for
our table is so carefully planned
and these plans so completely and
thoroughly carried through that we
scarcely realize what tremendous
business it is.
During recent years, the census
OF manufacture lists the meat
packing industry as first or second
in the United States in every report
issued.
In all the ages, our savage fore
fathers, their more enlightened de-
Scendants, and our nearer pioneer
grandfathers found no more impor-
tant work than how to find food
and how to carry it back to the
home cave, or hut, or cabin. We
either directly or indirectly, spend
most Of our time solving the same
problem.
