J BISHOP VON SCHEELE, Distinguished Prelate Visiting the ‘ United States. Knut Henning Gezelius Scheele, bish- op of the diocese of Visby, of the Church of Sweden, and special envoy of King Oscar to the Augustana Swed- ish Lutheran synod of America, is making a tour of the United States, primarily to visit the Swedish Lutheran educational institutions and the larger ations. Mrs, von Scheele ac- 's the bishop on his tour. von Scheele is ty-three ye: He was a prominent figure in Upsala university for more than a quarter of a century, and was after- ward appointed bishop of Visby in 1885. He n author of note, some of his works having been translated into sev- eral languages. The bishop a Chris- tian gentleman of id2al character, full of love for the church and for humani- congre} compa Bishop rs old. ty. He is progressive and up to date, without being a liberal and radical. This visit is looked upon as the highest possible form of recognition af the Swedish Lutheran church, the August- ana synod of this country, by the moth- er church, the Lutheran church of Swe- den. The bishop was a member of the house of nobles in the Swedish parlia met under the old regime, and is now again a member of parliament by ele tion. He has a wonderful range of e3 perience and an intimate knowledge of state affair nd of church politics as well. It would be difficult to find a person in all Sweden so well informed as the pishop of V Stockholm 1897 Von Scheele is the na and family of krewn both in Germany The great chemis Von longed to the same family. in outward resembles his me King Oscar very much. They both walk with the same dignified, yet aesthetic step; both have the same pleasing voice, the same sincere hand- shake (frequently using both hands) and would easily be taken for brothers. The king is a little taller and more ro- tund than the bishop, but each wears a full-cropped beard. Tourists have espe- cially observed the sameness of their voice. The bishop is one of the nearest and closest advisers of the king. He was p religions at exposition of congress of during the ne of a large nobility, well and Sweden. Scheele. ancient be- perience Is Crowding Into the Markets of Its American Cousin. The American hog has a European rival. Denmark hs come into the field as a producer and exporter of hogs and hog products, with a growth at least interesting, if not suggestive, to Ameri- ean producers of a commodity whose export value grew from $84,908,693 in 1891, to $119,961,503 in 1901. The fact that hog products form the largest single item in the exportations of the United States, having exceeded last year by $2,000,000 those of the manufactures of iron and steel, whose exports have at- tra d so much attention, lends interest to some facts which have just reached the treasury bureau of statistics re- garding the remarkable development of the hog-packing industry of Denmark. This information is published in the Danish Export Review, and shows that the number of head of swine in Den- mark has increased from 301,000 in 1861, to 771,000 in 1881, and 1,168,000 in 1898, the latest year for which statistics are available, The prohibition of the im- portation ‘of i hogs into Germany and the United Kingdom, which coun- tries were Denmark's principal custom- s in this line, resulted in the estab- lishment of slaughter houses in Den- mark and the increase in the production of Danish bacon and hams in recent years has been phenomenal. The ex- ports of ham and bacon from Denmark have grown from 9,120,000 Danish pounds in 1 00,000 Danish pounds in 1898; lue increasing from 4,110,000 kroner in 1878, to 47,800,000 kroner in 1898, the value of the crown being 26.8c. As a consequence of the change from the export of live swine to that of sloughtered animals, the slaughter houses have risen to the greatest im- portance in Denmark during the last ten or fifteen years. While formerly the slaughter houses belonged to pri- vate individuals, a large number of joint and co-operative slaughter houses have been established during this pe- riod. LEPROSY IN DENMARK. Imputed to Uncleanliness and Care- lessnexs of the People. United States Consul Victor E. Nel- sou of Bergen orway, has sent a re- port to the United States marine hos- nital service, in which he says that the presence of leprosy in Denmark must be imputed to the uncleanliness and grotesque carelessn of the people. He says there are six leprosy patients there, tour of which are from Copen- hagen. In Denmark leprosy does not belong to those few d which are subjected to public tree Iceland has its own leprosy law. At the Laug- arnoes hospital in Iceland, established by the Odd Fellows’ order, there were eighty-one patients received during 1899, and of these cighteen are now dead and only two have been dis charged as fully recovered. Relap are usual in leprosy ca: The death- rate has been fearfully high, which is somewhat offset by the fact that this es. was the first ar of the hospital's work and the worst of Iceland's popula- first were admitted. The report tion ays that Dr. Armareur Hanson of Ber- Norway’s Wealth. From the statistical bureau at Chris- it is learned that the taxable property of Norway is placed at 2,09 $00,739 kroner, considerably over half being found in the country. The richest city is, of course, Christiania, followed by Bergen, Throndhjem, Drammen and Stavanger, in the order named. The richest province, or county, is Askers- hus, and the poorest is Finmarken. Rev. Andrew H. Lange, in charge of the Scandinavian Seamen's mission in San Francisco, died there on Oct. 7, from inflar.mation of the lungs, tiani In Far Northland. The bishop | gen has found the leprosy bacillius, but its antagonist is not yet discovered. The Icelanders are declared to be con- siderably improved, the sick people us- ing the same beds and eating and drink- ing utensils as the healthy. amity in Sweden. One of Sweden's most popular institu- tions, the “smorgaas bord,” or lunch table, is threatened with extinction. It may not be generally known in Ameri- ca. but, nevertheless, all Swedish res- taurants maintain a lunch table at din- ner. It is not a free lunch, but it has one point of striking similarity in com- mon, The guests root around with their forks in everything on the table. In Sweden, however a charge of 50 ore (about 14 cents) is charged for the priv- ilege of the smorgaas, but it also in- cludes a pony of brandy. The institu- | tion, though popular, is far from profit- able. The lunch is intended simply as an appetizer to the regular dinner,. but certain people manage to satisfy the inner void at the lunch counter, and forget, consequently, that there is a dining room near by A Swedish smorgaas bord is quite as complete as the American free lunch, consisting of sandwiches, cheese, her- ring, warm fish and meats, more than enough to take the edge off the app tite, even if one makes use of the din- | ing room. One course and dessert will suff Great The restaurants of Malmo have | abolished the lunch feature, three in Stockholm threatzn to do so, and the ancient institution seems to be doomed. Leif Erikson Recognized. Judging from the tone of the press in its utterances on tne unveiling of the Leif Erikson. statue in Humboldt Park, al Chicago is prepared to accept the old Norse version of the discovery of America by the Viking: The Chicago Chronicle, in particular, gives a com- prehensive account of the pre-Colum- bian voyage to America, and speaks of the journeys of Leif Erikson as a part of authentic history. When it is considered that the Norse- men had flourishing colonies in Iceland and Greenland as early as the ninth century, and America is no farther from Greenland than Iceland from Norway, it is inconceivable that the daring and hardy Vikings did not continue their voyages further than Greenland. Dr. John Fiske, who Fas made quite a study of the Norsemen, is convinced that they reached America, and even maintained a colony there for many years. Norway's Defenses. The Norwegian government's esti- mates for the ensuing fiscal year show a probable income of 102,500,000 kroner and expenses of 100,800,000 kroner. The ordinary military budget calls fcr 14, 000,000 kroner and the extraordinar budget for 3,500,000 kroner, divided as follows: For the harbor defenses at Christiania, 1,180,000 kroner; rapid-fire artillery, 1,400,000 kroner: continuation of the fortifications at Christianssand, 800,000 kroner; completion of mines in Bergen harbor, 120,00 kroner. Many look uron the big military budget is a quiet preparation for war, and the sensation-mengers have not neglected the opportunity to “get busy” with predictions. There need be no féar. The best of understanding exists be- tween Norway and Sweden. The for- mer enmity has given way to a brother ly respect and a sincere desire to reach complete harmon Here and There. Scandinavians in Montreal and Ott wa are talking of organizing an assoc ation, principally for benevolent pur- poses. The Danish cruiser Valkyrien ha sailed for America via Maderia and th Danish West Indies, and will reach New York about the first of the year. Sivart Nielsen, former president of the Norwegian storthing celebrated his seventy-eighth birthday on Oct. 8. He is quite an invalid, and is confined to his rooms in the students’ home. An attempt to export brick from Fredrikstad, Norway, to Quebec, as ballast, has proven a failure, as the first lot of 300,000 brick could not be sold cheaply enough to compete with the Canadian product. Miss Anna Wahlberg, a graduate of the Naas sloyd school in Sweden and Gustf Larson’s training school of Bos- ton, has gone to Santiago, Cuba, under the auspices of the Cuban Orphan so- ciety, to conduct classes in sloyd for Cuban teachers. Since the death of Maren Moller, who lived to be 106 years old, the oldest in- habitant ot Denmark is Karen Jensen, a widow, who was born April 4, 1787. The only other resident of Denmark born in the eighteenth century is Wid- ow Knudsen, an iniaate of Odense hos pital. The Swedish Glee club and the Svith- iod club of Chicago opened the social season at their respective club hou: last week.

Dr. Hanson has achieved a world-wide fame in the medical world by his attention to lep- lrosy and {ts contagious character. ! Since 1868, when he was appointed as- sistant physician at the Bergen leprosy hospital, he has devoted himself to the work. He has written many interesting Jana valuable treatises, beginning with jone in 1869, wh2n he was but twenty- eight years old. His discovery of the bacillus of leprosy was made in 1873, «+ How He Kept Up. “Well, Billy, how did camping go?” “Oh, all right; I slipped off to the farm houses around, now and ‘then, and got a square meal on the sly. Deafness Cannot Be Cured local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness 1s caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by non which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. ‘We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
