v.88. FOOD ADMUISTAATION
While civilized man suffers intense-
ly from cold every winter, the
Laplander, living the far north of
Europe, has no such trouble. A trav-
eler writes: “Their boots are also
made of reindeer skin, and are worn
very large and the toes are pointed
and curve upward, so as to be easily
slipped into their ski. The Lapp usu-
ally fills his boots half full with a pe-
cullar green grass, into which he
feet
the boots full with more grass, tucks
the ends of his trousers inside and
binds them tightly round with many
turns of a brightly woven braid. With
these precautions they never suffer
fram cold feet, and chilblains, corns
or such like eclvilized complaints are
an unknown horror to them.”
Concerning other customs the same
writer says: “The lapps are essen-
tially a nomadic race, and spend most
of their lives wandering fancy free
among the wild and glorious scenery
of their nothern home. However, at
times no doubt the stillness of the fro-
zen mountains becomes too still and
they turn their herds and start toward
their nearest meeting place. Twice
a year they bold these general gath-
erings—at Easter and midsummer
when they congregate and hold a gen-
eral fair. It is on these occasions
that they celebrate their weddings
and funerals. The revelries last only
about ten days, but many marriages
take place between couples who per
haps have never mot previously.
“As soon as a Lapp can afford to
buy enough reindeer for himself he
leaves the parental tent, takes a wife
and roams away wherever his heart
or reindeer dictates. There are
no social distinctions in Lapland.
Should a man have no reindeer, or
possibly have lost what he had, he
travels with a rich man and helps
him tend the herd, but he lives and
feeds with them in the same tent, and
quite on a social equality, until he

upon in churches, and which was cast
‘at the head of the dean of 8t. Giles In
Edinburgh, may be sald to have
ymarked the beginning of the civil war
in England which ended with the
downfall of Charles II. This event
took place on July 28, 1637. It will
be remembered that James I contrived
to introduce bishops into the Scottish
church. His son, Charles I, desired
to go still further and introduce a book
of canons and a liturgy. Archbishop
Laud, whose tendencles were toward
the Roman Catholle church, backed
him in his project. Between them they
prepared a service book, and the order
went forth to have it read on a certain
Sunday In all the churches in Scotland.

their religious service tampered with,

Price, One Bottle,
The movie, or “cinema” as it is
called there, has become an extraordi-
nary social influmce in England. In
the villages which have grown up
around the “coal-pits,” In which many
of the houses consist of only one
room, and lack all the evidences of
civilization, one can always be sure
of finding a public house and a “cine- |
ma.” Some of the proprietors of these
cinemas do not charge a coin for ad- |
mission in the case of children. In-
stead of money, the child presents a
bottle, which is sold to the manufac-
turer of liquor, and afterward returned
to the public house of the same village,
to begin again its round to the parent
of the child, to the movie, to the dis-
tillery and back to the saloon~Chris-
tian Herald.
First Bombing Balloons Futile.
The first bomb dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in War
as early as the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians for observation pur
poses. The first talk of bomb drop-
ping was in 1812, when the Russians
were sald to have had a huge balloon
for that purpose; but nothing was
done with it. In 1847, however, the
Austrians, when attacking Venice,
sent up paper fire balloons, which were
to dtop bombs Into the town. But they
forgot to allow for contrary air cur
rents, The balloons got Into such a
current and, drifting back over the
Austrian line, bombed them, instead
of Venice.

his complaint may be gathered from
the notice posted in the districts of

“Dear Tourist: What would you

out asking your permission or even

Interesting Origin.
In England money is characterised
by the word “sterling,” because in
the time of Richard Coeur de Lion
money coined In the eastern part of
Germany became, on mocount of Its
purity, in especial request in England,
and was called Easterling money, as
all the inhabitants of that part of
Germany were called Easterlings.
Boon after that time some of those
people who were skilled in coining
were sent for and went to London to
bring the coin to perfection.
