It is a canoe shaped wood- »n sl*dge and v“ry difficult to manipulate. Before a Lapp"can take a drive the reindeer has'to be caught. Harnessing is a strenuous performance, as the creature is t usually wild with fright and pluuges and kicks, considerably. His liar- • oess consists of a belt made of the skin of pome former brother or friend, one rein, which is fastened around Iris nose, and the pulka ia attached and drawn by means of a single trace. . They evidently find It a very difficult task to drive. In tact, the reindeer always appear? to ? o where, when and bowhe pleases. 'he Lapp hangs on to the poor, un­ fortunate animal’s neck while his passenger scrambles in. This ia S rally a somewhat hasty per- ance and usually only half per­ formed when, with a wild whoop, the little Lapp hurls himself on to. the front of the sledge, the reindeer makes a wild plunge, and the jnad rush begins. < “In and out the poor, wild crea­ ture dpskes, as if to free himself from the hindering encumbrance which, continually chafes''him, first on one side and then on the other. If driver and passenger, are skillful in the art of tobogganing, and man­ age t o ‘ remain in.the pulka the Teindeer. soon decides that his bur­ den is hot to he got rid of, and he, settles down into a more or less steady stride, and then the sensa­ tion is delightful and like nothing else on earth, They are very fleet animal > and appear to fly. Their feet, being somewhat after- the pat­ tern of the camel, splay out on the. snow, and thus they are enabled to travel at. great speed and tremen­ dous -distances without fatigue. “Owing to its shape the pulka is very liable to upset, even with ex­ pert driving, and when the -acci­ dent occurs the driver has to be careful not to let the one rein go or else woe betide him. Away goes the .reindeer with his sledge, and noth­ ing will stop him till 'he reaches his herd, while,-should the unfortu­ nate driver find himself far from Ms companions, there is nothing for him to do but face starvation and a frozen grave amid the snow. Acci­ dents like these are quite,usual, but it has pot occurred to the Lapp to alter either the method of harness-. -ing.qr driving or the shape of the . sledge.’j—Chicago News.'

One day .'while walking with a friend in San Francisco the pro­ fessor of a well' known university and his companion became involved in an argument as to which was the handsomer man of the two. Not being able to arrive at a settle­ ment of the question, they agreed in a spirit of fun to leave it to the decision of a Chinaman who was j seen approaching them.
