f a Om “Straws Show Which Way the Wind Blows” and the constantly increasing demand for and steady growth in popularity of St. Jacob’s Oil among all classes 0: people in every part of the civilizec world, show conclusively what remedy the people use for their Rheumatism and podily aches and pains. Facts speak louder than words, and the fact remains undisputed that the sale of St Jacob’s Oil is greater than all othe: remedies for outward application com- bined. It acts like magic, cures where everything else fails, conquers pain, TALKANG BY WHISTLING. Complete Language Has Been Devel- oped by the Aborigines of the Ca- nary Islands and Is Used. ‘There is a perfect. whistling language used by the aborigines of the Canary islands, and the people can communi- cate with each other over long dis- ances. A stranger wandering over the nds is frequently surprised to hear »m a hilltop the sound of loud whist- ling, which is quickly repeated on the next hill, and so it is carried from sum- mit to summit, until it dies away in the distance. But perhaps the most curious means of communication in the world is the drum language of an A ‘an tribe, named, as nearly as the word can be rep ented in our letters, Thang-Tu. These queer people can talk to each ether with large drums made of bam- boo koeps, over which the skin of some anima! is stretched. The drum is used only on important occasions—such as the meeting of war or the trial of some members of the tribe who have broken some of the compiex religious rules. ‘Ther. the head man of the village, who is hidden behind a rough grass een, asks questions of the wi sses by tap- ping on the drum, and finally delivers judgment by giving either of the three sharp bangs, which means death to the prisoner, or the one light tap, that means freedom.—Philadeiphia Times. THE CHAMPION WING SHOT. Capt. Bogardus Has a Dangerous Experience Bat Comes Out Unhurt. Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov. 4th. —Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the ampion wing shot of th: world, bas spent the summer here. His shooting school has been one of the features of the Park during the season. He has given many exhibitions, and his skill with the rifle is superb. The Captain tells of a very close call he once had when living at Elkhart, Il. He had been a sufferer from Kidney Disease for several years, and it rapid- ly developed into Bright’s disease. All his friends told him that this was incur- able and that he would never get better. ‘To say that he was alarmed is to put {t mildly. This plucky man had faced many dangers, and it made him sick at heart to think that at last he was to be conquered by such a cruel foe. At last he heard of a medicine that had cured many such cases—Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He used them, and was co:mpletely restored to good health. He says:—‘I attribute my present good health to Dodd’s Kidney Pills and to nothing else.” Gibson Girls in Far-Away Hawsil. The popularity of the book does not seem to be on the wane. On the con- trary, it is spreading to distant parts of the world. This is evidenced by the fact that “The Gibson Play,” which ap- peared some months ago in the Ladies’ Home Journal, and which might be called a book play even though it was made possible by the series of pictures drawn by Mr. Gibson, entitled “A Wid- ow and Her Friends,” was presented by the students of Oahu College, Honolulu, in the Hawaiian Islands, a few weeks ago. The various parts were assumed by native Hawaiians, who, it is said, acted them in a truly American man- ner. Are You Using Allen’s Foot-Ease?

When that has been accomplished the problem which has defeated physicians for ages—a cure for the terrible mala- dy, will be solved. The work that Dr. dertaken may not be y perh: not in his lifetime; but the finding of the bacillus itself is re- garded as of the first importance, as it opens the way to the ultimate goal— the control and cure of the disease. Eminent physicians in all countries of the world have devoted years to a study of leprosy, only to be baffled by the strange disease. The discovery of Dr. Hanson is, in consequence, expect- ed to revive the interest of the scienti- fie world in the subject. The news comes to the marine hos- pital service in a communication from United States Consul Victor E. Nelson, at Bergen.

It will form a part of the plans devised for the fejeral commit- tee for the embellishment and beauti- fying of the capital. United Stat2s Minister Thomas has already forwarded to Secretary of State Hay detailed information, with plans and sketches, of this world-famous in- stitution. It was commenced in 1872 by the late Dr. Arthur Hazelius, and be- came a national property in 1880, over $2,000,000 having been expended in its establishment. Skansen and its annex, the Northern museum, has received the unstinied praise of visitors from every foreign country, as something unique and as a historical exhibit without an equal in the world. It is an open-air museum, showing the culture of ancient Scandinavia, in- cluding the three Scandinavian counr tries, with Finland and Iceland. The location of Skansen is in the beautiful suburb of Stockholm known as the Deer Garden Park. Skansen itself con- tains hundreds of acres of ground, with picturesaue dwellings, representing ev- ery Swedish province. The interior of the houses show the furniture, orna- ments, articles of domestic use, and the provincial dresses of each period of Scandinavian history, while the build- ings are surrounded with the plants and animals of each period. WIL IN AMERICA. Remains of Dr. Sward Will Be Brought Back For Burial. Dr. J. P. Sward, former president of the Augustana Swedish Lutheran church, who died at Mora, Sweden, on Oct. 2, will be buried in this country The inter- ment, it is understood, will take place at Vasa, Minn. Dr. Sward was born In Styra, Swe- den, April 1, 1845. After being ordained to the priesthood in 1869, he visited Pal- estine and Contantinople, being sta- tioned at the latter place as seamen’s missionary. He had charge of the Scandinavian Seamen’s mission in New York, organized the first Swedish church jn Brooklyn, organized the first seamen’s mission in Baltimore, and then came West in 1878. For ten years he served congregations at Vasa and St. Paul, and as 1888 was called as pro- fessor in theology at Augustana college, but returned the next year to St. Paul. In 1891 he was elected president of the Augusta synod, being re-elected eight times, resigning in 1899 on his depart- ure for Sweden. He was rector of the church at Mora when death claimed him, OWN THEIR HOMES. Pian for Ameliorsting the Condition of Laborers. In Drammen, Norway, an organiza- tion known as the Workingmen’s Building association is seeking to in- terest the laboring classes in. becoming owners of their own homes. The plans are practical and comprehensive, and success is assured as President Wriedt is wealthy, his wife is an energetic wirker, and both are very enthusiastic over the project. The plan, in brief, is to build houses and sell them to workingmen on ex- tremely favorable terms and very long time, up to twenty-five years, if de- sired, A sample house -has already been erected, and it will be raffled off for the benefit of the building fund. It is a gem in every way, and nearly every family in town wants to own a house like it. It is not that the house must be reasyonably in cost, but it must be comfortable and pretty, as well. The design, prepared by M Wriedt would serve any one for a villa. The architecture is neat and the furnishings cosy and tasty A New Railway for Norway. The Tousberg-Eidfos railway, the fifth private line partially aided by the Norwegian government, is now in oper- ation It is a narrow-gauge road touching at Sem, Ramnes, aale, Hille- stad and Hoff to Eidfos at Ekern lake The country is under a high state of cultivation, and there is much valuable timber land tributary to the new rail- way. Several waterfalls, which can develop water power, are also on the line. It is hoped that the new road will yield profits from the start, and it certainly will develop the district to a considerable extent. CO-OPERATIVE SLAUGH Wealth © ex to Denmark From Its Abattiors. ‘There are about twenty-five co-oper- ative slaughter houses in Denmark, which in 1899 killed about 729,000 head of s ne aty a value of about 21,250,000 kroner (about $8,000,000), and about 450 head of cattle for export, at a value of about ),000 kroner. The largest slaughter houses killed from 58,000 to 61,000 pigs in 189, and the smaller ones from 9,000 to 10,000, The total number of co-operators is about 56,000. Th co-operators have bound them- selves to send the whole or part of their swine to the slaughter houses, and guarantee 10 to 15 kroner per head of swine for funds and working capita). These co-operators share equally the working ‘expenses and the year’s sur- plus in the same manner as the dairies. They employ 579 hands, besides man- agers and office staff. All of the twen- ty-five slaughter houses possess a com- mon organization and management, and a concern office at Copenhagen. The average c@st of the slaughter of | each pig for ine of the slaughter houses was 2.4 kroner in 1896, 6 kroner in 1897 and 2.8 2kroner in 1898, 21 per cent of the increase in cost being due to in- crease in wages. NEW LIBERAL MOV A. Peschki Koedt, Its Organizer, a Political Power. One of the rising men of Denmark, under the new order of things, is A. Peschki Koedt. While holding no po- litical office, he is still a political pow- er as the organizer of the new liberal movement in Denmark, which is at- tracting international attention to staid old Denmark. He is a dry goods mer- chant, but he is also a scientific econo- mist. The Richard Cobden of Den- mark some call -him. Koedt was of- fered the portfolio of finance in the new ministry, but was unable, for pri- vate reasons, to accept the honor. Nev- erthelss, his counsel is always sought, and he is still a leader in the liberal party. Koedt was married in Chicago in 1879, his bride being an Englishwoman. The marriage was performed by the late Prof. Swing. Preserving Hitgrdals Church. upaus NypApt 1x IPAUSIGNWIHLYON It is gratifying to learn that old Hit- erdals church is to pass from private ownership to that of the commune. This church is one of the finest exam- ples of stave architecture, and is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Norway, if not in the world. As long ago as 1595, or, 406 years ago, it was written of as being a curious building. Fifty years ago there was much agitation in Nor- way for the preservation of this fine old relic of ancient days, and it was -ompletely restored, being used for ser- vices in 1851. That it will be jealousiy zuarded and preserved is now assured, deserves ind no edifice in Norway ‘cinder treatment than old Hiterdals “kirk.” Swarms of Tourists. Christiania has “been visited during he past season by about 10,000 tour- sts, the number not including the thou- junds who took the regular tours of the steamship lines along the west coast or who went to other resorts without em- bracing the capita! in their tour, The ‘raffic has been unusually good all over he country. The majority of the tourists were Jermans and English, but there were a zreat many Americans all over the sountry; also, a considerable number "rom Holland, France, Italy, Austria, and, of course, Sweden and Denmark. The weather was fine all summer, and verything was exceedingly favorable to travel. A Wonderful Automobile. ‘An automobile which lays*its own track and picks the same up after it has been used, has been constructed by J. E. Borgstrom, a clever mechanic of McLean, Ill. The contrivance is an oad one, not only in principle, but also in corstruction, as the only tools used by Mr. Bergstrom were a saw‘and a hammer. The track is a sort of an endless chain, which is laid in front of the machine, passing under and then overhead. Cumbrous as the contriv- ance is in its present state, it is said to be able to make ten miles an hour. One can well believe the inventor when he says it will revolutionize the wheel world. ‘Traveling in Shackles. ‘The freakest tour around the world is that undertaken by Marius Bf.

Apropos of the czar’s recent visit to France, it is related that only the pres- ence of mind of Mme. Loubet, wife of the president of France, prevented a sad contretemps. The imperial party was staying at a country villa, and when the hour for the czar’s morning bath arrived the servants started to prepare the tub. But the hot water would not come.

Dueling With Tallow Bullets. “There is something intensely amusing in the new wrinkle taught by Dr. Davil- Ners to the Lingue des Patriotes, com- posed of those famous bloodless duel- ists of France, at whom the world has been laughing these thirty years. He teaches the beiievers in the code how to shoot at each other with real pistols, in a business-like way, using tallow bul- lets and a small charge of powder. This is to accustom students of dueling to gaze with equanimity down the cold barrel of a revolver. (I believe revolv- eys are now used in duels. The face is covered with a fencing mask, and the eyes are protected by thick goggles. Old clothes save the body, except from the grease of the bullets.
