But modern comforts have found
their “'HY into the homes of many
of the Lapps who live near the rail-
way line. and I have. been 'a guest in

satin: machine and an alarm clock.
In the summer when the reindeer
rtrn. on the move the Lapp contents
himst-lf with a. birch-pole tent cov-
firm] with canvas or turf that can be
easily moved from place to place. It
is not etiquette to walk up to the
lifit'k' or a tent when one is a guest:
the pulm- stranger will wait modestly
.tt the drmr till pressed to "come up
hichv r." when he may advance slow-
iy, step by step. The place of the
17:11 wife is at the back of the tent
f:.rin1:the door; the rest. of the
family sits on one side of the tent.
um. tho visitors on the other, com-
t'flriulvly enough. upon a carpet of
fresh tir branches. In the Winter
huts thCrc arc wooden beds. but in
the summer what could be better
than .1 soft reindeer skin? The rein-
deer is. indeed. the friend of the
anp: his TH'HSL ot burden. his milch
Pow, his fowl and the source of his
clothing and the material for his
simple hoiischold roquircnicnts.
MA: or the Lapps are wealthy
v ml». but it is no more polite to
nsi. n Lam) how many reindeer he
has than it would he to inquire the
QE-n 4’ l man‘s bank balance. since
that is the measure of his riches.
Ir autumn when the time comes to
mark the young reindeer, the. tribes
unt‘rxm. and then you may see the

boots curling up at the toes like an

The young reindeer must be
caught by a. two—no easy job—in
order that each may be marked on
the ear with his owner's name: and
though to the stranger'every beast
lor ' exactly alike. in Lapp will point
out his own reindeer from the herd
with unfailing knowledge. Nor does
a Lapp remove his neighbor's bark.
The Lapp is courteous and kindly
and Ilthough he hassuffered much
at the hands of the tourist retains
his tradditional hospitality to the
wanderer upon the fields to a re-
markable degree. provided that the
ordinary courtesies are observed and
no offensive curiosity is shown. And
within his family circle the Lapp
might serve as a model or kindliness
to people theoretically far higher in
the scale of civilization; even his ani-
mals come within the range of his
affection. Lapp puppies are most
engaging and much indulged speci-
mens of doghood and the life of a
tame reindeer is happiness itself.
J us! So.

Lightning Destroyed
Dirigible Dixmude;i
TOULON, Jan. 11.—The hypothe-
sis that the‘dirlglble Dimude was
destroyed byjightning seem! to be
borne out by the first examination
of debris brought into port yester-
day by the torpedo boat Bambara. -
Apparently the members of the crew
in that part of the airship the light-
ning struck were blown to atoms
by the resultant explosion of the gas
’n the big envelope.
A quantity of steel wire in which
are entangled remnants of heavy fur
lined coats worn by the aviators was
found in Sicilian waters. Human
flesh and bone still adhered to the
cloth or one of the costs. Doctors
identified this flesh as having been
part of a man's shoulder with the .. -
collar bone.
'1‘ hecaptain of the torpedo boat
said he was certain the Dixmude
went down with all on board in trorn
ten to twenty iathoms of water a
mile and a halt south of San Marco.
Sicily. in the vicinity of which place
the. body of its captain was found.
MARSEIILES. Jan. 11. —— The
steamship Algeciras. from Constan-
