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. tight fitting suit gave her a jaunty air, and, taken all in all. she was just such an attractive miss as a man would lie willing to stop and talk to, all unmind ful of the fact that his wife was keeping supper and temper warm for hhn at home. “Yes,” she continued, “I am an under study fur a ; star’ of the one night stand variety, and if you think the position a bed of roses just conclude tliat you are mistaken without any unnecessary delay.

The 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.

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. -—New York World. 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 Express. ,J. C.

The great cottonwood trees in the swamps of Tennessee contain veins of 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.

Indians of Arizona. Extensive preparations are being" made 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. DR. THUS.] COLE, D.-ntist, Newnan, Ga. Depot Street, „ Dr. HENLEY^S tXTRACT THE NEWNAN VARIETY STORE!

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. When I say Ccef.
