[ Chu go Times. ] Says an observer in these regions" de- scribing the Lapp snow-shoo , or "ski , " or "skidor : " "There are two ribs of birch or iir , six feet long , four to five inches broad , and about ; a half an inch thick. In the middle , on the nppor side , is a hollowed , smooth spot for tho foot , above which there is a strap , tho space allowing tho insertion of the point of tho shoe. On the other sido a groove runs along the entire center. The ski is pointed and slightly curved at one end , and tho edges rounded. " It might be added that tho "skidor" is a solid pieco of wood , liko a weatherboard or b.ittan , turned up in front , and de pends for its bearing surface on tho snow on its extreme length five or six feet rather than by a wide spread , as in tho common snow-shoo of bent form and cross-weaving of thongs Tho common snow-shoes , liko those used by somo of our mountain Indians , are , however , used in a few parts of arctic Europe , but mostly among tho J'or- weKians and Finns. Tho i.app runs on these "scidor.V ! as the snow-shoes arc used , l > ut mostly assisting him are two short birch poles or strt\es with which ho shove ? himself along , liko an Indian poling his catioo through shallow water , but the Lapp has one polo in each hand. When a Lapp goes down-hill- his skidors ho uses one as a sledge on which to slido and steer , while with the other he turns his foot and scrapes tho skidor , thus regulating his gait. Says the same au thority 1 quoted once above : "Iho Lapp begins to run on ski when : i inero child , and attains great skill in this aport. Ho runs with the greatest ease np or down hill , jumps tho steepest in clines , and speeds across lakes and marshes , through forest and ( U'ld ; hunts the wolf and the bear , or follows tho runaway reindeer , and undertakes extremely long . .ourneys , .ollowing his herd cr visiting distant parts. " Mr. Oscar Dickson , one of Nordenak- jold's patrons , being in Lapland at Quickok , thought he would gut up a ' aeries of races among the Lapps' on skidors to tost their capabilities of mak ing the speed they claimed. Tho dis tances which they thought they had traveled over the interior ico or mor do glace of Greenland was * 14-5 miles in fifty-seven hours ( two days nino hours ) going and coming. Mr. Dick'sou planned his races so as to have about an equal length of course , ami it really was 1 U miles long. Tho competition for tho high pri es oTcro 1 ' took placo last April , and o cupied a whole week. Three hundre.l aud fifty francs was the highest , or t.nst prize , and was won by a Lapp who had baen with Nor- denskjold on his Greenland inland ex pedition. He got over his I ! 1 miles in 21 hours and 22 minutes , inuliuHnall ; his rests and stoppages , or ai > out " . milos an hour kept up steadily for nearly a whole day. The f.coud prie was secured by a Lapp who goot in only half a minute after tho first. Two others got . in within 22 hours , mid four more within a day. All of them were apparently unexhausted , and joined heartily in tho festhities that ended this singular con test , many of tho contestants returning at once to their homes , fifty to seventy- five miles distant , from which they had come to join in the races. O rJc'ivs Cli.xractorlitici. fAimht-im d'nl. ) lt l > r. ] Tho sight of a dog is sufficient to frighten an ostrich badly. At sstich vision , if permitted , the ostriches in tho corrals would immediately be speeding over tho sandy plain , through a waatcof tall , wild , siinriowt-rd , at a gait which would astonish a horse-trainer. Dr. Sketehlcy has throe dogs on his fnrm , but they aro all kept behind the build ings out of sight of the ostriches ' When a keeper approaches them to j annoy them , they emit n hissing sound , liko a goose , and try to bite the intru der. They have no strength in their bills , however , and are harmless unless ' j they get a chance to kick. Unlike the ! emu. hich is exhibited often as an [ j African ostrich , they have but one too on each foot. This is a terrible weapon. The bird kicks fonvard. The force is shown in the exploit of one bird , which kicked a stout board on the sido of its corral , and broke it in two at ono blow. Tho too is pointed , aud will cut 11 | like a knife. The bird which was killed j ! at one kick had its breast laid open i with an ugly wound. Of the young i' birds all are perfectly shaped except j' one , which has a club-foot , and which I walks on the back of the clubbed foot , tho toe turning up. The gait of even this bird is elastic. All the birds walk precisely after the fashion adopted by many young ladiea is San Frsnsisco or i lalw , whoso gaic may , therefore , per- | haps , be correctly described in the 'J future as the "ostrich walk. " It is as ; if the birds stepped on hot griiliiror- . ' The feet are taken briskly up and raised ! high , and the body and head oscillate. ! This style was learned in touth Africa and not in San Francisco , and is as old as the race of desert n J.n u n > nlMli . I "I/r cl vi < or.

The like course would prove u great blessing for this city. It would be more nearly in accord ance with the dignity of the law , to have the j demi-momie appear in court , when arrested , to make their pica.
