Somo people have said that tho rein- j deer of the northern regions Is to the Inhabitants of those countries what j the horse, cow and sheep together are to the dwellers in southern lands, and very probably they ore right. What would the Laplander be were he de prived of his favorite? How could he travel without his pair of reindeer harnessed to his sledge? The reindeer has large black hoofs, behind which are false or secondary hoofs; the result is that when running they make a clattering sound, which may be heard n good distance away. ' The reindeer has much endurance and takes a long journey without seeming tired, though It is only about four and a half feet in height and not very strong. Its horns are long and slender, with branched, rounded antlers, but they are not much used in combat, like those of some other deer. The largest reindeer are found where the weather is coldest, and their color is lighter. Usually it is brown and white, but in the case of old animals the hair Is sometimes quite white. From the skin of the reindeer the Lap landers get not only their clothes, but also bedding and tents; the milk is drunk and made into cheese and the flesh is also good to eat, the tongue and haunches being particularly liked. Pemmican. an important article of food, is made by pouring fat over the pounded meat and mixing them well togethor.—Sr. Louis Globe-Democrat. PICKING HUSBANDS. A Woman's Cynical View of the Ger man Marriage Market. The men in Germany do not marry. They are married. They are more or less passive articles ot' sale, which stand in rows in the matrimonial shop window with their price labeled in large letters In their buttonhole, wait ing patiently for a purchaser. They are perfectly willing, even eager, vic tims. They want to be bought, but their position does not allow them to grasp the initiative, and they are thankful when at last some one comes along and declares herself capable and willing to pay the price. The girl and her mother, with their purse in hand, pass the articles in re view and choose out the one which best suits their means and fancy. "I shall marry an officer," one girl told me some time ago with the easy confidence of a person about to order a new dress, and. lo and behold, be fore the year was out she was walking proudly on the arm of a dragoon lieu tenant! I even knew of three women who swore to each other that they would marry only geniuses, and hero also they had their will. One married a great painter, one a poet and another a famous diplomatist. That they were all three peculiarly unhappy is not a witness against the system, but a proof that geniuses may occasionally be very uncomfortable partners. In this case the purchasers were rich and popular and could therefore make their choice. Others of lesser means would have had to content themselves with an officer, cavalry or infantry, accord ing to the "dot," or a lawyer, or a doe tor, or a merchant, and so on down the scale.—itiss W'ylie's "My German Tear."

A PROPHETIC JEWEL Peculiar Ring That Was Owned by Marquise du Barry. Marquise du Barry, whose lovely head foil Into the basket beneath the guillotine in expiation of her levity, extravagance and folly, bad in her pos session a stone of which the Paris Jew elers were unable to tell the precise j nature. ! There appeared upon it below the | surface and as if under water an out j line of a picture containing human flg -1 ures. Strange to relate, when first the ; gem was given to ita afterward unfor j tunate possessor this outline was not j clear, but after It had been some months in her possession It grew mord | vivid. tine day the negro servant boy, La mor, who was afterward instrumental from revenge in the downfall of the I liu Barry, declared, looking at the Jew ! el, that he could decipher the figure of u woman with disheveled hair leaning i before a scaffold and surrounded by a crowd, while beside her stood the exe cutioner. A strange but authenticated clrcum j stance is that tho negro servant boy I precisely described the guillotine.

Elizabethan Slang. According to the latest edition of Webster's Dictionary, one meaning o' "lobster" is "a gullible, awkward, bun gling or undesirable fellow." This ' meaning is supposed by most persous j to he a modern development of slang, j However, "lobster" was a favorite term j of abuse amoug Englishmen of Queen ! Elizabeth's day, and Shakespeare may | have denounced his callbov as a I "lobster" when the boy failed toot ; tend to his duties. Some students of J the word think it probably was applied I first to men with red faces. As slgul- I fying a soldier the term "lobster" is as ] old as Cromwell's day. Lord Claren- I den, historian of the civil war in Eus , I land, explains that it was applied te the Roundhead cuirassiers "because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered. Afterward British sol- I iliers in their red uniforms were called I "lobsters." Then came another develop ment. The soldier in the red coat be ' came a "boiled lobster," while the po ! 1 iceman In blue was.of course, tin "unboiled" or "raw lobster." Again. I"to boil a lobster" was for a man to 1 ! enlist in the army and put on a red coat—Chicago News. An Eye on the Future. A man with a swollen linger that had a deep abrasion under the ring called at a jewelry store to get the ring cut off. Before the operation was begun be said; "Can this ring lie mend'd so a pawn broker will give me tne usual amount on it?" "It ran be mended." said the jeweler, "but I doubt if you can ever persuade a pawnbroker to accept it afterward." "Then I guess I'll take chances on my linger getting well with the ring on." said the young man and left the i store. "Incidents like that," said the jewel er. "show what a surprisingly large number of Philadelphians live with | the pawnshop looming up just ahead | of them as an unavoidable evil.

S j Gearliart. On December 11, 1 be-| tweeu the honrs of 1 and 2 p. m,. it is j alleged, John O. Zaner, who resides < neai WashinKtoiiTille, was returning ! home from Danville with an empty , hay wagon, to which were attached I two horses,one being a valuable mare, i At "Ootuer's siding" about, midway' between Danville and Maumlale he { met a south bound freight train. At 1 the latter point in ronnding a projec- j tion the wagon road and the railway lie near each other. As the train ap- j proaohed and Mr. Zaner was at the point nearest the railway.it is alleged | that the crew needlessly sounded j the whistle, causing the locomotive to I emit a loud and sudden shriek, which ; frightened Mr. Zaner's mare, causing \ her to plunge violently. Mr. Zaner j succeeded in quieting the animal, but | immediately afterward she seemed ill and proceeding as far as Fenstermnch- j er's corner she had to be unhitched j and soon afterward died. A post mor , teni examination showed that the animal had ruptured an artery and ! (lied from the effects. The tilst witness called was K. S. J Miller,who testified as to the location of Cottier's siding, its length, and the lay of the ground around it. John C. Zaner, the plaintiff.was the next witness. The mare, lie said, was not afraid of the cars. When tho train approached the siding he observed two : men in the cab of the locomotive on ! the side next to the team. He observ- > ed a movement of the arms ami sim ultaneously there was a shrill and sud den shriek of the whistle that caused the mare to give three violent plunges. ! While he was trying to control his ' horses, he testified, he saw the men | on the locomotive laughing at him. j The mare was between 13 or 14 years of age and witness testified that he could have sold her for £l5O. Among other witnesses were : James Pollock, MoClellan Dielil. ! At 4 ::!0 court adjourned to reconvene j at it o'clock this morning.

At first all went well, though the party i was not specially well assorted, but ! after a few days they began to evince j signs of being somewhat bored with 1 each other's company. The hostess marked these signs of I incipient boredom, which became more j plainly evident each day.and at last In despair she took counsel with one of her guests, an 1 and experienced j yachtsman. | "What on earth shall Ido to amuse | these people?" she asked. I The yachtsman looked at the serene | sky and calm, blue water and shook | bis head doubtfully, i "A storm would enliven them up a i bit," he said, "but the weather looks j I quite settled. There is only one thing to be done. You must arrange a break j down; the engineer will manage that | all right for you. lie has probably j I often done so before. Then you must I I make for the nearest port for repairs ; j and let your guests have a run ashore. Some of them, 1 expect, will find an j excuse for bidding you goodby and! those who remain with you will get 1 along all right together."

A tri <• , of J .r»t Resolution No. 4. ROBKRT McAFEK, Secretary of the Commonwealth. I I WILKESBARRE COPYRIGHTED. Pennsylvanians Proud of Njms and Jealous of Emulation. Members of the Wilkesbarre (Pa.) city council decided to make an at tempt to copyright the name "112 Wilkesbarre so that it cannot be used by any other place iu the United States. It was stated that it w.s such a dis tinct commercial advantage to i>ossess the only name of the kind, in that freight, express and mail addressed to that city could not well be sent elsewhere, that it was worth the ef fort to set the name copyrighted. As far as the councilmcn knew, no such effort has been made by any city in the Union. How Like a Man! Mrs. Nocknoodle—Oh, Norrls, it you I would always be as good and gentle and kind as you are at this moment | how happy we might be: Mr. Nock | noodle (losing his temper instantly and | bellowing at the top of his voice)—Do you mean to say, madam, that 1 am i not always as good and kind as I am at this moment? Tho Remedy. The Mistress—Bridget, 1 must object to your having a new beau every ; night. The Cook—Thin buy betther foodl One'll niver come again wance I he's tackled what 1 have t' serve hlml Fly Traps of Spiders' Nests. Spiders' nests are used in Mexico as fly traps. During the rainy season the villages are invaded by numbers of 1 flies and other insects. To rid a house • of these pests the natives hang tho branch of a tree bearing a spider's nest i to a nail in the ceiling. The surfaco | of the nest enlarges concentrically after each capture of an insect, and it exercises an irresistible attraction on flies. When a spider's nest is opened it is found to bo Oiled with insects. ' Experiments made with paper nests j so manufactured as to bo exact copies | of the real nests show that flies will not enter them. Though very small and apparently Insignificant, tho in i habitant of the inosquero attacks in sects far more important In size than j the largest housefly. The wasp is one | of its favorite victims, and the wasp ! always gets the worst of the struggle. 1 —Harper's Weekly. || > Mtirt*. i To Am.
