Horses of (lie Yakoots—The
JbR Gentle Reindeer anil His Driver.
B. Reindeer are much swifter and more
reliable than dogs or the miserable horses
•of the Yakoots. And yet these horses are
Hot to lie despised, for they supply a need
^ that it would lie difficult to reach with
\ Other animals. They are very hardy and
\ require scarcely more .attention than the
‘ wilder animals in that country. It is not
, .necessary to provide food or shelter for
i
them. They thrive and do much hard ; the star,
work upon dead grass, twigs and dried
leaves that in winter they find by pawing
off the snow from the ground. In sum
mer it would be impossible to keep up
communication with the Russian outposts
in Siberia without these horses of the Ya
koots. Upon them is packed the mer
chandise for trade with the outlying tribes,
and they bring back the furs that have
been gathered during the winter season.
Upon the obscure trail through those wild
Siberian wastes the summer traveler often
meets long lines of these animals trudging
patiently along, sometimes twenty-five or
thirty in number, each one tied to the tail
of Iris tile leader.
During the winter, however, the gentle
reindeer move gaily along at a swift and
easy trot, two attached to each sled, and
fastened by a line from the antlers of one
to the sled in front of him. There may
be but one driver for half a dozen or more
sleds, and he sits on the right side of the
leading sled, guiding his team with a line
attached to a halter around the antlers
and under the throat of the off leader.
A stead3" pull directs the team to the
right, and a series of jerks is a suggestion
to go to the left. If. however, the leader
neglects the signal, the driver jumps
from his seat and runs alongside of the
obstinate animal, which immediately
makes a rush toward the opposite direc
tion. An active and attentive driver oc
cupies himself incessantly in keeping his
team under full headway, and for that
purpose wields a long, thin stick or wand
'with which he continually prods the poor
reindeer in the rear. Eventually lie gets
a little sore place there by continued
prodding, and plies his relentless *rod
upon that tender spot with the best re
sults. The conscience that exists even in
a Yakoot or Tunguse yemshik lias in
spired him to put a wooden or bone but
ton upon the end of his goad to keep at
from penetrating too far.
When a reindeer is tired, it lies down,
and no amount of punishment will get it
on its feet again until another is brought
tfo replace it from a number of spare ani
mals that ai - e always tied behind the rear
sled for that purpose. No matter how
much exhausted the weary animal seems
when removed from harness, it recuper
ates very rapidly while running behind
the sleds, and is soon ready to take its
turn at pulling. The usual gait of a
reindeer team is a long, swinging trot;
but when in a great hurry, which is sel
dom the case with those lazy people, the
driver urges his team into a gallop, and
under sueli circumstances it is not un
usual for them to make over twenty
verst* (about fourteen or fifteen miles)
an hour.—William II. Gilder in Outing.

nd, stopping but one night

printing is all done early in the season,
nd when those in the audience observe
that the distinguished actress, Miss So-So,
is to play “Cora” or “Camille, how are
they to know it really is Miss So-So who j yj
appears on the stage? . They can t do it,
you know. Well, I was obliged to play
for our ‘star’ five or six straight weeks
Jast winter on account of sickness that
kept her away from the company, and
not a single auditor ever knew, the dif
ference. The newspapers gave me splen
did notices in the name of the absent
actress, though if they had known that I
was an understudy, it is probable that
they would have treated me with toplofty
scorn. That shows how much real appre- ■
ciation there is for art on its own merits. I ;
have reason to lielieve that my work was i
fully as good as that of the star herself,
and" yet here I am at the end of the
season without a particle of reputation,

In Their l-’irst Hatties.
A young Bostonian has written to sev
eral prominent generals asking how they
()>lt in their lirst battles. Gen. Sherman
says that such questions are hard to an
swer. Admiral Porter says his first battle
•occurred when he was 12 years of age,
and that he did not feel much afraid.
Gen. Pleasonton remarks that his lirst
battle was in Mexico in lS4t>. and that
he felt that the sooner the enemy was
thrashed the better it would be, while
Gen. Avefell says the battle of Bull-Run,
1801. was his first, and that when he saw
(he enemy he thought that a great and
useless crime was about to be committed.

Heating with Garfield.
A grizzled, weary looking toiler of the
towpatli sat in Superintendent McKenna’s
office the other afternoon. He had just
come down from the west, and found
himself compelled temporarily to give up
work on account of a sore foot, which
left him almost unable to walk. To a
reporter lie told how, when he was a boy
of 10 and the lamented James A. Garfield
was a youth of 15, they plodded side by
side along the Wabash canal and slept in
the same bunk, both being employed on
the boat Reaper Williard.
9 The boatman’s name is George Mc-
Auley. He told how studiously young Gar
field was even at that early day, and how,
even when seated astride of a horse, lie
always was poring over a book. He was
a general favorite all along the canal,
said McAuley, as he was invariably
courteous and never used a coarse or an
unkind word to any one. _ He was paid
§15 a month, which was considered large
wages in those days. For two summers
he followed the canal, and McAuley saw
him no more until the war broke out and
ho joined the army, when one day. as he
was doing picket duty, Garfield, who was
then wearing a general’s uniform, ap
proached him and recognized in him the
companion of his humble days. Soon
after McAuley was taken- prisoner and
sent to Libby prison, and after bis re
lease took up his old life on the canal.
He never saw Garfield, again.—Albany

The great cottonwood trees in the

clear, sparkling water which tastes some
what like unsweetened soda water and
which spurts forth as if tinder gaseous
pressure when a vein is punctured. It is
*said to be deliciously refreshing, and
hunters are in the habit of carrying gim
lets with which to pierce the veins when

Pit
Fisli as a Brain Food.
Fish as brain food has so long-been an
established and renovated theory that
Professor Atwater, who seems to wholly
shatter the cherished belief in his disqui
sition upon the subject in The Century,
will probably be regarded as a ruthless
iconoclast. Concluding his demonstra
tion of the conclusion drawn, he says that
even if fish were richer in phosphorus
than meats or other food materials, this
would not establish its superiority for the
nutrition, of the brain or the production
of intellectual energy. But there is no
proof of any especial abundance of phos
phorus in fish. On the contrary, an ex
tended series of analyses, in this labora
tory have revealed proportions of phos
phorus in the flesh of our ordinary food,
fishes differing in no important degree j
from those which have been found to oc- ,
cur in the flesh of the other animals used i
for the food of man.
Continuing he adds that “studies of
the constitution of the flesh of fish in this -j
laboratory.‘referred to above, as well as ;
similar investigations elsewhere, show |
that, so far as the nutritive qualities are ;
concerned, the only considerable differ-
ence between fish and ordinary meats is j
in the proportion of oily and fatty matters j
and water. The flesh of the fish has
water where meat* have fat.”—New
York Market Journal.

The Lobster's Clavv-
When the lobster was given to mo he
was without his left big claw, which
had, I suppose, been accidentally
wrenched off by his original captor.
The stump very quickly healed up, a
hard calcareous seal inemsting the end
of the joint. To my astonishment,
when the lobster worked himself out of
his old shell he appeared with a rudimen
tary left claw which had evidently
formed behind the shield. This claw
grew even more rapidly than the rest of
the body; and by the time the new shell
was hard, the new claw, though still dis
proportionate. was of very serviceable
dimensions. I do not believe that the
loss of a claw is a matter of much more
moment to a lobster than it is to a ciab.
Sometimes, indeed, both lobsters and
crabs appeal- to dismember themselves
voluntarily. I have known a lobster to
get one of his paws hopelessly wedged in
between the withes of a lobster pot and
leave it there in the most nonchalant
manner imaginable.—St. James Gazette.
