The Swedish Lapps live entirely with, by and upon their reindeer. A Lapp who owns a thousand deer is a very rich man; but as taxes are assessed upon the num? ber of deer; he is inclined to under esti? mate Iiis herd. The most dangerous ene? my to the herd is the wolf, who, if dis? posed, can kill thirty deer in a night. A band of wolves can make a rich Lapp poor. When the snow is deep and soft, audit is announced that wolf tracks have been seen in the neighborhood of the deer, the swiftest runners on .-now .-hoes prepare for an exciting chase. The wolf may have a start of a mile or two, but the track it leaves in the deep, sofl --now is so prominent that the hunt? ers can follow it at their best speed. The wolf, though he may run fast, has but a slight chance of escaping the short men who. on snow shots, rush through the wood, dart down steep hills, aud jump from ledges several yards in height. Each hunter does his best to outrun the others, for the wolf belongs to the Lapp who strikes the first blow. As soon as the leading hunter is close enough to the wolf, he gives it a heavy blow across the loins with Ids strong, spiked snowafihoo sta'.T. It" there are other wolves to be pursued, he kiils.it outright; if not, he disables it. and waits till all the hunters have arrived, before giving the death stroke.?Youths Companion. 3Ir. and 3Irs. Jefferson Davis. The bearing of the old couple toward each other when the husband was nearly an octogenarian and the wife net far be? hind him was that of the old school. Mr. Davis was as deferential to his wife as if she were presiding at a tournament in the olden time. Mr. James Rcdpath once visited the Davis home at Beauvoir, and thus spoke of that home life: "Mrs. Davis is several years younger than her husband, but does not fear to speak of herself as an "old lady.' .she is quite as noteworthy a personage as her husband?a woman of large brain and groat heart, highly educated, of marvel? ous insight into character, with the rar? est conversational powers, bright, brill? iant, witty and sympathetic. Mr. aud Mrs. Davis have been married forty years; but their honeymoon does not seem to have reached its first quarter yet, and certainly there has never been an eclipse in its history. It was delight? ful to be a witness of their mutual affec? tion and to hear them address each other." . John Brlglit's Tombstone. The gravestone which now marks the last resting place of John Bright, in the Friends1 graveyard at Rochdale, is re? markable for neatness and simplicity, and just in keeping with what he desired should bo placed at the head of the grave of his late wife. It is white mar? ble, but only two feet six inches in length and two feet in breadth, bordered with a plain groove ali round the margin, and the lettering is of plain English charac? ters, the wording being: ''John Bright, died March 27, 1889. Age. 77 years." This simple record aud unadorned stone lies horizontally at the head of the grave, and soft green grass now covers the re? mainder. A similar slab of marble, of the same si.-.o, now marks the place by his side where his late wife peacefully reposes, bearing the inscription: "Marga? ret Elizabeth Bright, died May 13, 1873. Age, 57 years."?New York Tribune. Horse Sense. A Sandersville (Ga.) paper tells this story: A few days ago a gentleman was driving in the vicinity of Long's bridge. He firmly held the lines over a splendid mare, while the mare's colt contentedly trotted along behind. When Buffalo creek was reached, repairs being made on the bridge, the gentleman found that he would have to drive through the channel, which was unusually deep, al? most swimming, and would swim the colt. The mare was driven in, and the colt, not desiring a test of his swimming qualities, reared up on his tender hind logs, gently placed his fore ones on the box of the vehicle, back of the buggy seat, and was 6afely drawn across the muddy stream, When the opposito bank was reached, he gracefully bounded off with a whinny of satisfaction.

A Ileal Live fish Caught hihI Cooked Uir tier \Vnler?How n Diver's ingenuity Brought Ulia Fume ami Wi>n u Friend? ly TVaper?A True Story. "It was this way,' replied Mr. George W. Fuller, tho veteran diver, sitting back in Iiis chair anil half closing his eyes as if to recall all the circumstances of tbis most curious of diving experi? ments, "You see, 1 had been talking with some of the boys, telling them about What I could do, and all that, and, if 1 remember rightly, 1 made the asser? tion that I could catch a Qsli, dress it, cook it under water and bring it up to ?.c surface *u good shapo for eat? ing without^ Mil tin;; it a particle. Of course everybody was incredulous, undone man who was oven more in? credulous than the rest offered to bet mo ?100 that 1 could not do it. As 1 thought I had a pretty sure show of winning, and the man seemed anxious to bet, 1 put up my money, and when asked when 1 wanted tho affair to come off, I set a day about a week ahead, as I had some preparations to make. Taking a couple of my men I pi t a boat and went quite a distance out into the harbor, stopping over a place where 1 thought 1 should be al le i<> catch a iisli easily. I had brought a weighted barrel along with me and my diving suit. The barrel we then proceeded to sink, hav? ing the open side downward. Putting on my suit I went to the bottom and se? curely fastened the barrel to some rocks with ropes n> make sure that it would neither rise to the surface nor float away. Mind you, I had tiie barrel raised about throe fe t Crom tho bottom, and at this time, as a matter of course, it was tilled with water. After 1 had secured it I stooped down and crawled up into it, standing erect upon the bottom. When I crawled in the barrel was full of water, but as I staid under there min? ute after minute, the water began to bo driven out little by little, ibis being caused by the air which was issuing from iny escape valve rising t> the top of the barrel, and not being able to go any farther ii. as a matter of course, kept forcing the water down. Soon my head was entirely out wati r, and soon my chest was out '?Then I unscrewed my helmet and stood in the air under the barrel. As it was being fed constantly from the pump above, the water lowered until there was not a drop in the barrel, and 1 was standing in only three feet of water. 1 had one of my patent lanterns with me so I could see what I was doing, and taking a hammer, nails and a small board, which 1 had brought down with me, 1 proceeded to nail up a small shelf at one side of the bar,-, 1 of the height so that wheu my lantern was t : upon k it would be c j.'ivenienf f< >v me to look down on the top of it. This don .-. I put on my helmet, got out from und r the barrel, and went up to the surf. ? < ace more. All my arrange meats wei ? ? >mpleted, and all I had to do now was tu wait patiently for the day of th ; ri .! t > come "It dawned at last, bright and clear, and a considerable party of ; >utlcmcn embarked with us, to either see this, as they supposed, great feat performed, or to see me fail in iny attempt to make good my assertion. I hupres -i it upon the mind of the party who had bet against mo tiiat to perform the feat it was very essential that 1 should go under water at a place where I could be reasonably sure of catching a fish, and be left it with me to select the place. Of course I steered for the spot where I had tho barrel anchored, and, stopping near where I thought it would be, I put on my suit and prepared for tiie descent. I took with me my lantern, a small stew pan*pepper, salt. < tc.7 and my fishhook. "By the way. you never saw a man catch fish under water, did you? Well, it is quite a simple operation. You don't really use any hook at ail, but a long line with tiie big sail needle on the end of it. When you arc on tho bottom and see a fish, good care must be taken to get be? hind him. Then cautiously edging up to him, you make a quick jab with the needle, and if you are a good shot your fish is caught. Tin n all you have to do is to push him up on the string, which must, of course, be knotted on the end, and you are ready for another one. It was one of these needles that I had, and I was very successful in not having to occupy much time in catching my li?h, for I had scarcely struck bottom and got my bearings "when I saw one directly ahead of nie, and I succeedetfin getting him impaled upon my needle in short order. Then 1 crawled under the barrel and, setting my lantern on tho shelf, waited for the water to lower. I had not long to wait, however, and soon my helmet was hanging on a nail which I had hammered into the side of the barrel for that purpose, and I wa.:; busily clean? ing the fish with my jack knife, which I forgot to mention I had brought with me for that purpose. "This done, I unscrewed tho tup of the lantern, which, as you know, is quite a large one and has a big flame. This lantern is fed by a small air pipe from above, the same as a human being is, and as I could live und breathe freely under the barrel, of course the lantern could burn brightly, too. Placing the pan, which lilted exactly into the top of the lantern over the flame, I placed the fish in it and ho was soon frying away at a great rate, while I soon made him palatable with salt and pepper. "After it was well fried 1 shut off the blaze in tho lamp and screwed on the cover, leaving the stewpan and the fish inside, where they were sure to keep Eerfectly dry. Then, putting on my elmet/l got out from under the barrel and gave the signal to be pulled up. I had been gono only a few minutes, and. the people thought as a matter of course that I had come up to say that I could not catch the fish, never dreaming that I had caught it, dressed it and cooked it already. They were very much sur? prised "when, on taking oil the lamp, I showed them the fish steaming hot and well cooked."?Boston Globe.

WE CAN AXD no Spartan .Sociology. livery student of historj' knows that th?> Spartans worshiped tiio beautiful and Hie useful, and that they took the menus to get them. Bodily perfection and mental activity were attained by well appointed exercise and healthy pa? rents. The sickly and the constitutionally diseased were not allowed to marry; the healthy were punished if they did not marry. Men that were unmarried after a certain ago were excluded from the society of women, and once a year were exhibited in public as a warning toother and younger men. Young men and young women were not allowed to marry before they had attained maturity or cut loose from parental leading strings. This Spartan system, which was purely for the welfare of the state, was in force for 501) years, and no braver nor stronger men, no more healthy nor more beauti? ful women, were ever seen than in old Sparta. Few would wish to set Spartan ism revived in these days, but wo may learn some valuable lessons from that ancieni state. We may also learn something from our newly born sister republic, Brazil, where there is a remarkable and self im? posed family custom in regard to mar? riages in the higher classes. The man about to marry is required to furnish a certificate from one or more physician's that he is free from diseases of a certain class, and that he is free also from all signs of any of the diseases that are transmissible to the offspring, .and fur? ther than this,; the physicians must tes? tify that so far as they can learn there is no reason to believe that the marriage will !?? otherwise than in accord with sanitary laws. We, as a people, are taking nmre interest i:i the proper kinds physical culture than before. Our women are coming to know that they can dress jnst as well without distorting their bodies and imperiling their health. Put the day of the truly sanitary mar? riage is a long v. ay ill.

'Uneasy lies die head that wears a crown." One wonders that the czar of Russia dot s not follow lite example of Charles V, and free himself from a life of continual apprehension. Is the life worth living which must be sustained by such precautions as those narrated be? low? Yes, if thereby one serves his gen? eration. London Truth says: It was given out that he would be the guest of the German emperor at -the Marble palace. Potsdam, and when all kinds of expensive preparations had been made there, he decided he would be safer in Berlin, and a large sum was ex? pended in arranging for his reception at the Schloss. Finally, only one day before the em? peror arrived, Count Schouvaloff re? ceived a telegram from Copenhagen to intimate that his majesty would alight at the Russian embassy, and the message was quickly followed by the arrival of the imperial workmen, seven in number, who now go in advance of the emperor whenever and wherever he travels. There are two carpenters, two masons, two locksmiths and a foreman. They most carefully examine the chimneys, locks, flooring, walls and furniture of the house which the emperor is to occu? py, and his own apartments arc subject? ed to a most rigorous search. The chimneys arc objects of special attention, and every flue which leads to a room which the emperor is likely to enter is thoroughly barred both top and bottom, and, as if these precautions weremot suilicicnt, police agents from St. Petersburg patrol the roof both day and night. .

The royal crown of Prussia, which dates from the time of Ming Frederick I, is lined with velvet, contrary to all her oldie rules. Tlds fact lias led to-several discrepancies, more especially to matters of art. The painter, Professor Uilde brandt, a well known authority on points of heraldry, some years ago sketched a banner for a veteran association, strictly adb ; in ; to tho heraldic rule in drawing the royal crown without a lining. On tho sketch being sent to tho minister of the interior the oilicial objected to it, in? sisting upon the Prussian crown being lined, but finally yi, hied to the professor. It may be mentioned here that the crown of lTui can no longer be worn nowadays. Is was fitted at the titue to bo worn over a long wig, and^ therefore, is far too lar^e. The Emp iror William, on the oc? casion of his coronation, had a new crown mado for himself. When the court jeweler delivered it lie requested the king to try it on, hut tho king de? clined, saying that ho could not possibly consent to "try on" a crown which he was first to place upon his head on so solemn an occasion as a coronation.?
