Two Pictures In Upper Line Show Winter and Summer Homes of the
Lapps. Lower Lapland Women; the Lapland Express, Most North
ern Railway in the World; ( Beindeer Horn Seller.
Among the strange people of the world are Laplanders, regarded as the
smallest Inhabitants of Europe. The Lapp calls no one country' his home,
and he Is little concerned In the affairs that Interest other residents of his
native land. Altogether there are about 2S.WX) Lapps, and they are scattered
over parts of Sweden, Norway and Russia. Perhaps the greater number are
Norwegians. Those In Sweden are closely allied to the Finns. They range In
height from four to five feet, very rarely more than that. However, they
are a strong and hardy race, and possessed of great powers of endurance.
For untold generations they have lived in the frigid climate of the far north,
and, although they suffer severely from the Intense cold of their native land,
they do not thrive at all In a less rigorous climate.
The reindeer, made famous the world over in our Santa Claus tales, is
the Laplander's mainstay of life. Without this faithful friend he could not
long exist. Its milk and flesh supply him with food, and from Its hide and
fur he gets his clothing. During the long winter It Is harnessed to a boat
shaped sled, and will swiftly draw the sled and a load not exceeding 200
pounds over the frozen lakes and anywhere In the, vast expanse of hard, dry
snow. This queer anlmaL. whose food Is necessarily scant throughout the win
ter, will thus burdened travel at a speed of from nine to ten miles an hour
for many hours at a time. It Is estimated there are about 400,000 reindeers
In Lapland. For the most part these are iu a seml-wlld state. These shift
for themselves. To be sure, the reindeer is found elsewhere in Europe, and
four or five centuries ago was found in countries far to the south of the
Arctic regions. Deer from Lapland have been taken to Alaska, 'where they
are flourishing.
RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE .RUBBED AWAY
0
It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints ana bones are throbbing ana twitching wita the pains oi
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it
' does not reach the blood, where the cause i3 located. Rheumatism is more
than skin deep it is rooted and grounded- in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BU RUBBED AWAY.
' Rheumatism is due to aa excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, form3
uric acid which, is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all part3 of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient become3
deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead
of a weak, sour stream, constantly deposit
ing acrid and corrosive matter in the mus
cles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed
and nourished by rich, health-sustaining
blood which completely and permanently
cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed
of both purifying and tonic properties
just what is needed in every case of Rheu
matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but i3
made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and
barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time
trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use cf S. S. S. and write
us about your case and our physicians will give yon any information or
vdvics desired free of charge and will send our special treatise on Rheumatism.

Margaret Brown tame one clay Into
the office of a government official lu
Chicago. She was from Massachusetts,
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Her son half come to Chicago some time
before to seek his fortune.
Hut fortune had not favored Mar
garet's son, and he soon wrote home
for fifty dollars, it was ut him.
Then followed another hard-luuk stjry,
and another fifty was sent him. A third
time Ed asked for tifty dollars. This
was more than the mother could en
dure, and full of misgivings and fears,
she picked up a suit case and started
lor the West to make investigations.
But where In Chicago was Ed? She
had but one address general delivery
and countless people get their mail
there. How could she find the elusive
son among the thousands who daily
cross the great rotuuda?
She would stand there and watch for
him. He might come In the morning,
he might came In the evening ; he mi'ht
come the first day or the third, but
stand there she would till she stood
face to face with the prodigal. .
But even for the tedious privilege of
standing there permission had to be
secured ; hence her call on the official.
The official realized how unpleasant
to a refined woman such an experi
ence would be. He pondered a moment
as to how he might keep from break
ing laws and regulations, and yet ac
complish the mother's desire lu a man
ner at least comfortable.
"Where are you staying?" he Inquir
ed, after a moment's reflection.
"At the Great Northern."
"I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll write
your sun a note."
And he sent this letter:
"Mr. Brown. You are requested to
call at the Jre.it Northern, room ,
Thursday, between o and 7 p. m.
"A Friend of the Family."
He sealed it and addressed it to the
general delivery.
The next step iu the story was a deli
cately written note from Huston, an
nouncing the safe arrival home of Ed
and his mother. Ed had called at the
general delivery, to his astonishment
had found his mother In room at the
Great Northern, had gone home, and
the mother was happy.
peratlvely worthless tree, but It works
up well In veneering, and finds many
uses In the manufacture of furniture.
It can be stained in Imitation of cherry
and other hard woods.
"There are two kinds of veneering
sawed and siloed but it takes an ex
pert to tell the difference. The process
of manufacture is simple and Interest
ing. The logs, delivered at the factory
In the rough, about thirteen feet In
length, are first cooked In hot water
vots to make them soft and workable.
"It does not matter how green they
are. After being thoroughly cooked
they are placed on machines designed
for the purpose, and either sliced by a
powerful knife the length of the log or
cut by a circular saw into slabs about
one-twentieth of an Inch thick. These
slabs are the full length of the log,
and when first cut are so pliable that
they can be bent double without break
ing. The uniform thickness or thin
ness of the slabs is preserved by the
action of the machinery, and does not
vary so much ns a hair's breadth in the
entire length of the slab.
"After the slabs are sliced or sawed
they are seasoned by steaming. This
requires only about twenty-four hours,
and then they are ready for the mar
ket. Some of the huge oak logs that
come to the factory show by the rings

FINE FURNITURE VENEERED.

"There Is a great deal of so-called
oak furniture sold nowadays," said Eti-

"This Is .because a much finer finish
can b got from quartered oak veneer

In the water the Hawaiians are ah
solutely fearless. As soon as they can
walk, little babies are taken to bathe
in the sea, and In a very short time
they are able to swim like porpoises.
The author of "Hawaiian Yesterdays"
gives a reminiscence of the courage of
the natives:
Our party had arrived in Ililo Bay.
and we were all seated upon the plat
form of a big double canoe, paddling
ashore from the schooner which lay
out in the harbor. A throng of natives
lined the bench, waiting to welcome
their returning teachers.
Just us we were entering the sur;
that rolled upon the sandy shore,
through some accident the canoes sud
denly tilled and sank, leaving us all
sitting half-submerged in the shallow
water. With a loud roar of "Ainvo!"
(Oh. and Alas!) the assembled crowd
rushed as one man Into the waves and
bore us safely to land.
On one occasion, about the same
date, a coasting vessel was upset in a
violent squall between the islands of
Hawaii and Maul. Although the near
est land was twenty miles distant, the
nntive crew and passengers boldly
struck out to swim ashore; and sev
eral of them did come safe to land
after a night and day in the deep.
Among the survivors of the wreck
was a iMtor woman who for several
hours swam with her husband upon
her back; but the poor man died of
cobl and fatigue, and had to be aban
doned at last before the coast was
reached.
