Among the curious peoples in the
Russian empire is one race, the
Lapps, who though under the osar's
rule are practically independent,
for the very good reason that the
Russian troops cannot get at them.
Every schoolboy-has heard of Lap-
land, in northern Europe, but few
of us know that there are two kinds
of Lapland. One is on the very
verge o f the continent, in s country
so barren and desolate that about
the only living creature« in it are
the reindeer on which the northern
Lapp subsists, the wolves, which
live on the reindeer, and the Lapp
himself.
In this region the herder Lapp
roams at will. The country is more
passable in winter than in summer,
since it is traversed by numerous
rivers and marshes that can be
crossed only when frozen over un
less the traveler carries his boat on
his back. But with the coming of
winter the Lapps utilize the ice
bound rivers as thoroughfares in
their travels. They know the best
foraging grounds and the places
where shelter may be afforded for a
week's encampment.
The resting places o f these no
mads within the arctic circle depend
upon the moss> patches, the food of
the reindeer. * When it has been
eaten off the ground these people
must strike camp and go elsewhere.
As a herd of a hundred reindeer
will soon strip half a dozen acres of
the moss growth, it does not take
long for them to eat up everything
around the settlement, even the
shoots of the birch and willow trees
as far up as they can reach. So
away goes the band, and the place
may be deserted for several years,
since three or four seasons are re
quired for the moss again to spread
over the ground wherefrom it has
been eaten. This is why the Lapp
wanders through valley and over
lain, as does the tribesman of the
esert. He must move to live, but
this sort of life has sharpened his
wits, and he is as shrewd at driving
a bargain aa the proverbial Yankee.

The rifles of colonial and Revolu
tionary days would stagger the mod
ern marksman to sight. Deckert, a
famous Pennsylvania gunsmith of
that time, made most of his rifles
sixty-four inches long with a heavy
four foot barrel. It took muscles of
steel to aim such a weapon accu
rately.
But to its owner such a rifle was
often the most prized of all his
earthly possessions. He called it a
pet name; he kept it oiled and
cleaned to perfection; he gave it ail
the credit of his successful marks G A. MORRIS, The Jew eler

Often have painters and sculptors
discussed the relative merits of
painting and sculpture. A story is
told of an artist who resented the

could within a given time paint a
picture which should display the
human figure as completely as any
sculptor could. The wager was ac-
