The Lnpps peel the bark from the trunk of the tree, carefully remove the epidermis and thau divide the inner bark into quite a 1111^ of very thin layers. During the brief but extremely hot Lapland summer the layers are exposed to the sun until thoroughly dried then they are torn in to narrow strips and piirran boxes made of fresh bark taken frojii other trees. Deep holes are then dug iu the sand, and the bark boxes are burled in them, where they are allowed to re main for about three days. The second day tires are made over places where the boxes are buried and kept burning briskly for several hours. The heat penetrates deep into the sand, turns the flr bark a deep red color and gives to it a pleasing taste aud odor. Finally the boxes are unearthed, the flr strips are pounded or ground into a coarse powder, and the Lapps use It Just as we do salt, only much more sparingly, because it Is so troublesome to pre pare. Got Haydn Interested. ittr Joshua Reynolds was once com missioned to paint a portrait of Haydn, the celebrated composer. Haydn went to the residence of the painter and gave him a sitting, but soon grew tired. Sir Joshua would not paint a man of such genius with a stupid countenance and adjourned the sitting. The same .weariness and want of expression oc curring at the next attempt, Sir Josh lua communicated the circumstance to the commissioning prince, who con trived a stratagem. He sent to the painter's house a pretty German girl In the service of the queen. Haydn took his seut for the third time, and as soon as the conversation began to lag a curtain rose, and the fair Ger man addressed him in his native tongue with a compliment Haydn, de lighted, overwhelmed the enchantress With questions, his countenance recov ered its animation, and Sir Joshua rap idly and successfully seized its Swl«» Funeral Customs, The funeralKiistoms among some of the Swiss are most peculiar. At the death of a person the family inserts a formal black edged announcement In the papers asking for sympathy and stating that "the mourning urn" will be exhibited certain hours on a special day. Iu front of the bouse where the person died there is placed a little black table, covered with a black cloth, on which stands a black jar. Into this the frieuds and. acquaintances of the family drop little black margined vis iting cards, sometimes with a few words of sympathy on them. The urn Is put out on the table on the day of the funeral. No one except men ever goes to the churchyard, and they gen erally follow the hearse on foot, though sometimes carriages are used. The horses that draw the hearse have long black cloaks on, with places eat out for them to see through. To Aacerialn Your Brain Power. Do you possess well formed and evenly balanced features? This is the rule judge for yourself: The height of your forehead, from your hair to the line of your brow, should be the same as the length of your nose, and both should be commensurate with the depth from the base of your nose to the extremity of your chin, so making three equal divisions. Have you an ex cess or deficiency of brain power? This question you may answer to your own satisfaction«by contrasting the bulk of your head visible above or be low a line drawn horizontally through the center of each eye and which nor mally divides the head into two equal parts.

V Danville, III., Aug. 16.—The conven tion of the Eighteenth JUlpois CoroJ grossionjy districttoday renominated Joseph G. f'annon for congress for tt& eighteenth consecutive tirtie. There was great enthusiasm especially over the prospective candidacy of C,annon for the presidency. Cannon had not intended to launch his boom for the Presidency this time, but the pressure of his supporters was so great that his wishes were swept awav. Can non's supporters in his own district will likely urge the state convention to make a similar endorsement. It Is quite likely to be lont. ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL.

It was through the efforts of tht practicing physicians of Grand Forks that St. Michael's hospital was estab lished, The matter of a new 'h0ftpi4afe was taken up with Bishop Shank yV and he proposed that if a bonus o£ $15,000 was given to the sisterhoodj and a site of a city block at least dot* nated, that a sixty-bed hospital, mod= ern in every particular, would be es tablished and conducted. 1 The physicians interested took matter up with the Commercial club with the result that the amount wa* raised and a beautiful site in River* side park was selected and secured. It was hoped to have the foundation of the new hospital in this year, but it is getting so late now that it is hard ly probable that building operations will begin before next spring and it will be midsummer likely before the new hospital is opened. The Sisters of St. Joseph conduct a large hospital at St. Paul and in sev eral other northwestern cities and that they are to have charge of the new hospital here is a matter for congratu lation. That it wiU be well conducted is certain. v, Texas Republicans.

About a month ago a Hindoo servant, who had been in their employ during their trip, was fatally injured by an elephant in India and on his death Ued confessed that he stole the jewels, while in St. Louis. He said that he became alarmed, and fearing detection, had dropped them into a hole in the wall of the Manu facturers' building. Later, he again wished to secure the gems, but on re turning to the place where he had se creted them, could not reach the bot tom of the space between the plaster' and the side of the buildings.
