Baron Adolt E ordenskjold, whose death at Stockholm on last Monday has been duly chronicled, has achieved a fame that will live as long as the deeds of a contemporaries. His suc- sage along the north hitherto deemed d the scientific world a , the Cabots, Franklin, Kane at men who opened up r study and research. This alone would have made him famou in addition, he attained the high rank as a naturalist and geologist. Nordenskjold, who was born in Hel- singbor! nd, Nov. 18, 1 driven from his native land on ac of his activity in the students’ meet- ings, and settled in Sweden. He laid the foundation of his future fame as an explorer by accompanying Torell to Spitzenberg ‘in 1858. The arctic regions were not the beaten paths they now are, but /even so, the daring Swede would have won a name for himself by the superiority of his scientific work on this voyage. On his return to Stock- holm he w ppointed director of the artment of the vari- ous geogr arcnes of the gOv- ernment. Thre er he was hir lf the lea dition to] measure an ar¢ ridian mark- | ing the southern part of Spitzenberg. In 1868 the young scientist led a Sec-} ond expedition to the North.

It was his h farthest north with He was the first to penetrate the interior of Greenland, and discovered, at Ovitjak, the largest known blocks of natural iron. He sur- veyed part of North East Land, and re- turned home heavily laden with scien- tific spoils. In 1875 Baron ‘Nordenskjold sailed through the Kara sea in his Siberian expedition, reaching the Yenissei river, and returning home cverland. His travels through Asia tempted him to try for the northeast passage, and, backed by King Oscar, he sailed on the Vega in 1878. This voyage is one of the most interesting in arctic history, and it alone would entitle its commander to rishable fame. The ship reached n Sept. 2, 1879. On his return to »pe Nordenskjold was received with istinguished honors everywhere. He was made a baron in 1880, a commander of the North Star in the same year, and was otherwise honored in Sweden and other parts of Europe. His only visit to f rica was that paid to the Philadel- phia exposition in 1876. Once Baron Norienskjold was very wealthy, but his fortune has greatly di- minished in the past few years, and had quite disappeared. old, after intention to re dogs and sled: THE FATE OF ANDREE A New Theory Is Advanced by Capt.

They Seem Far Ahead of Their American Sisters. The Danish ‘“‘new woman’ seems to} have forged far ahead in pursuit of progress, and left behind her the home- ly, sociable arts of her grandmother, says a writer in the Boston Transcript. She regards the rearing of a family 98 irksome, and is becoming more and more jealous of the seeming freedom _and independence of men in profession al] pursuits. She is accused of filling the ‘house «with tohacco smoke and politics, and mused to going into restaurants and or- dlering wine or beer with her repast. As all periodicals and newsparers are kept on file in the restaurants, she consults ‘them, entering into discussion with | ‘other habitues, meantime smoking ci-| garettes. She is described with close- cut hair and bespectacled nose, and a startling imitation of masculine privi- leges in manner, dress and conversa- tion. She has a press of her own, and herakis the reform she is contemplat- ing. psce a Here and There.

Wenner Gunnar Wennerberg, Sweden’s fam- ous poet, compo: and stetesman, who has just celebrated his gclden jubilee, began his career as a song writer by publishing a collection of student bal- lads for which he wrote words and mu- sic. These ballads have since become popular all over Scandinavia, under the name of “Gluntarne.” Wennerberg is also the composer of oratorios and na- tional folk songs, among them ‘Hor Oss Svea” (Hear Us, Svea), the song with which the Swedish students at the Paris exposition of 1 captured the first prize, and which has since come to be the national folk song of Sweden. But it is not alone as a poet and com- poser that Wennerbe: been i guished. He is church department, and for several yeas governor of the province of Kron- | de berg. As early as 1850 he became a member of the Royal Musical academy, and sixteen years thereafter was elected wedis i a member of the Royal § my. He is now in his eighty-fifth year, and the idol of the music-loving Swea~ ish people. Memoirs of the King. King Oscar, who is not only king but also a poet, has decided to publish his memoirs. There is a tradition in the Bernadotte family that each individual, at his earliest convenience, must begin to write the daily happenings of his life. King Oscar has been keeping up the reputation of the house. During his cadet days, on the training ships, he faithfully performed this duty. Later, notes on the questions of the hour, bits of sentiment, aphorisms, snatches of verse, etc., are scattered through the little volumes which he has written. He is at present engaged in the task of go- | ing through 253 closely-written pages | for material which he proposes to issue in book form. The king has had many rare experiences and visits from noted people. It is his desire that there shall pe two volumes, each of 250 pages. The title will be ‘In Idle Hours.” The fifth annual festival of the pro- fesssional athletes of Norway will be held under the auspices of Viking Ath- letic union, in Stavangar, Aug. 24, 25 and 26. Besides the programme of ath- letics, a season of aquatic sports has been arranged. An exhibition of swim- ming over 100 meters, together with jumping, diving and underwater swim- ming will be given. Aalesund’s Fishing association sent Capt. Ole Hessen and his vessel, Berg- liot, out into the North sea to try his luck for herring. After eight days he returned to Bergen with seventy barrels of fish. It is the society’s contention that fine fishing grounds exist some- where between Norway and the Faroe islands, and Hessen will probably lo- cate them. Bjornson has among his guests this summer his son Bjorn and wife, his son-in-law, Albert Langen, the Danish publisher, Hegel, from Copenhagen, who publishes Bjornson’s works, the painter, P. S. Kroyer, and he expects Col. Piquart, Capt. Dreyfus and his counselor, the distinguished jurist, La- bori.

The Hog Who Annoys Women. Col. Lovell H. Jerome dealt firmly and quietly with a cad disguised as a gentleman, who was annoying a wo- man in the Fifth avenue stage on Sun- day evening. This particular hog had placed his arm on the back of the seat, and was sitting too close to his neigh- bor, whose embarrassment was patent to all. The cotonel changed places with the victim, and remarked: “Now, young man, you can hug me for a while.” It was a satisfactory termination to the incident, for all concerned except the squire of dames.—New York Sun. ‘The Angel's Effective Weapon. An Augusta Sunday school class had been talking of Adar and Eve and their expulsion from Paradise, and the angel with flaming sword in hand to prevent their return. The teacher then asked what it was the angel had in his hand to keep out intruders. The ques- tion was directed to one little boy, who remained in deep thought for a mo- ment, and then said: “He had a eontribution box.”’—Lew- fester Journal Just Cause.

S aAAAAAAAADAAAAALAAAAAAAAAOARAAAAAAAASAS Mrs. E. A. Crozier, Senior Vice Presi- dent of the James Morgan Post, W. R. C., the largest corps in Minnesota, writes from “The Landour,” 9th and Nicollet, Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: “Please accept hearty thanks on behalf of Peruna, that wonderful med- icine which raised me from a sick bed and made a strong and well woman of me in two weeks. I suffered with bearing-down pains, backache and con- tinual headache, and found no relief until I tried Peruna. It cured me com- pletely, and I feel as young and well as when 18. I wish every woman knew the magits of the medicine, and no home would be without it.’’—Mrs. EB. A. Crozier. Mrs. Wm. Henderson, Bordulac, N. C., writes: “I was troubled with very serious female weakness; had spells of flowing that exhausted me so that I feared I would lose my mind. I suffered un- told agony with my back, the pain ex- tending down my left leg. My pain was so severe that I would have wel- comed death at any moment—so no one need wonder that I recommend Peruna so highly, for it cured me entirely of that. Not a sign of pain has returned, and that will soon be two years now. “I am glad that there is a way I can speak, trusting that manya sufferer will read my testimonial, and not only read but believe.”—Mrs. Wm. Henderson. FOR WOMEN ONLY.
