THE COURlEh
IN JULY.
Now the palm-leaf fan's aquiver,
Though its breath provokes no shiver,
And to mountain, lake or river
You must hie;
For, the situation sizing
Up, the mercury is rising,
In July.
Men of corpulence are mopping
Heads, where father Time's been lopping
rtt a ai J f 1
vjll me scauerea inriuie truppuigr
By the bye;
"Is't hot enough?" friends mutter,
And the answer's drowned you utter
'Neath the soda fountain's sputter
In July.
Though no coal man now deceives you,
With his weights the iceman grieves you,
You could place the sphere he leaves you
In your eye;
And there comes at each day's end, oh,
The mosquito's shrill crescendo,
And his pointed inuendo,
In July.
MILKING REINDEER.
The Cows Aro First L8Bsnod and Thon
Tied to Trece.
"Tho People of the Roindoor" is the
titio under which Jonas Standing de
scribes in tho August Contury a visit to
a Lapland camp. A picturesquo ac
count is given of tho milking of tbo
reindeer:
Placing ourselves on both sides of tho
entrance to the enclosuro, at some die
tance, wo stopped to wait for the herd.
Looking in tbo direction from wbicb
the barking was beard, wo observed on
tho summit of the nearest mountain
ridge, against tho horizon, something
liko a moving thicket, carried, as it
were, by a swift cuirent down the
mountain-side. Soon we distinguished
the graceful for,rnB of hundreds of rein
deers, as tbey, with e'astics motions,
leaping and bounding, came tearing
down toward the camp, tho dogs stretch
ing like ropes along tho ground on each
side of the herd to keep it together. We
crouched bohiod stones and bushes so
as not to frighten tho half-wild animals.
With a good doal of running, gesturing,
and bbouting, the herd wan finally
brought into tho inclosure, only a few
of the wilde.t animals escaping over the
fell, paBt some of the little children.
Rushing into tbo inclosuro in an un
broken stream of more than a thousand
animals, tbo herd did not oeaeo running,
tbo reindeer is always on tbo move,
except at tboir regular resting times,
but continued in a circle against the
sun; if it runs with it, it jb a sign of
disease of the brain. In tbo midet of
tho reindeer, leaping, bounding, and
butting in a friendly way, while giving
out their peculiar grunting sound, tho
picturesque figures of our Lapponian
friends wore Been, surrounded by a
thicket of hornB. Our hostess, having
hung her baby to a birch in tho middle
of tho inclosure, stood, liko a number of
other women, mostly girlB, with a wood
on scoop in her hand, ready to milk tho
lirst of tho femalo reindeer caught;
while at tho outskirts of the enclosure
Htooda number of children with largo
pails to roceivo the milk from tho scoops,
tho Hinallor childron either running
about playing outside tho camp, or giv
ing salt and angelica to somo of the
tatnoet animals. Tho most important
actors on tho scone, however, wore tho
mon moving about slowly in tbo midst
of tho herd, holding tho lasso behind
their back in tho right hand, and look
ing sharply at tho running unimals. As
quick as lightning a lasso whizzed
through tho air, tho frightenod animals
recoiling and thon increasing their
speed. Whon tho lasso hit tbo mark,
the cow waB hauled in and tied to a
birch while tho milking wnB done. So
they kept on for nearly two hourB. Tbo
quantity of milk yioldod by each animal
is very small, at tho m.)st about a ton
cupful, but it Ib of very high nutritivo
quality. The milking, which is by no
moanB rogular, is done, if possible, onco
a day. In wintor-timo thoro is of courso
no milking. To provent tho calves from
sucking thoir mnthorB, piocos of bono
are tied into thoir mouths, or tho uddors
aro hcsuioarod with tar. Somo of the
LapB considor it sinful to milk tbo rein
door ana thus deprivo tho calves of
thoir food.
Ailtlco to it llrlilr.
A. L. wants to know what will soften
and smooth tho elbows which aro rough
and hard. What exorcise could a girl
of eighteen take? She teaches school
trom !) a. m. to I p. in. She has an hour
recess at noon at the school. She rises
nt six, cleans up the house and gets tho
small children ready for school, walks
to school in ton minutes (three-quarters
of u mile), sits in the school room
until 12 m has her hour, then teacho?
till four, comes homo and sews until
8:30 p. m. and retires nt nine. She
lives in the country. What will bo a
suitable toilet for an April bride (tho
latter part) to be married In? Also,
two other nice but not expensive cos
tumes, and how should they be inado?
The bride Is n blonde, tall and full ilg
ure lives in the country; in the south;
will bo married at high noon with very
few friends present. She is a school
tea cher and can't afford anything very
expensive. She and her husband will
begin housekeeping at once. You will
greatly oblige me by answering these
questions. Answer: The Ledger hopes
that the brlde-to-bo is the writer of the
sensible, practical letter that accompa
nies these Inquiries. If so, the future
husband will plense accept congratula
tions. As to exercise, It would seem
that there was less need of that than of
rest and timo to think and to enjoy a
few of the pleasures of life. All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and
it makes Gill grow old and lose her
freshness and youthful grace and at
tractiveness, something which she
should guard with the utmost care and
watchfulness. It goes soon enough at
tie best. Perhaps deep and Judicious
breathing would be about the best pos
sible exercise. Make the clothing per
fectly loose, undoing all fastenings;
thon till the lungs as full as possible,
hold the breath an instant, then let the
air out slowly. Repeat this ten or
twenty times, and go through this ex
ercise half a dozen times every day.
Swinging tho arms and bonding tho
body aro also excellent, but must not bo
overdone. As to dresses, why not wear
a traveling dresB, something that will
be pretty and suitable afterward for
best wear. If white is desired, you
might get a nun's veiling or an India
silk. Make tho dress up simply, and
trim with a very little very good lace,
or with accordion plaited silk mull or
chiffon. Make the dress high in the
neck and with a perfectly plain skirt,
and Bleeves either in leg-o'-mutton stylo
or with full puffs to the elbows, and long
gloves. Every lady should have a black
dress. If you have none, get a good
black camel'B hair or a Priestley clair
ette. Have It made with plain skirt
and one of tho now short basque Jack
ets, which style Is really a lltted waist
with ripple basque skirt. Leg-o'-mutton
Bleeves and a fancy collar would
make a nice finish. For a third dress get
a plain dark skirt and somo fancy
waists. Or you might get a pretty light
silk and a black satin skirt, with fancy
waists. As to the elbows, does not the
teacher lean with her elbows on tho
desk? Stop this habit, and bathe tho
elbows In hot water half a dozen times
during tho week, or oftener, if possible,
and all will come right. A littlo cold
cream mny bo beneficial. Now York
