THREE CHICAGO DOCTORS Failed to Do for Miss Mabelle L. LaMonte What Was Accom- — by Lydia E. Pinkham’s egetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Prxxnam:—I was in an awful state for nearly three years with. a complication of female troubles which three physicians called by dif- ferent names, but the pains were all the same. I dreaded the time of my MABELLE L. LaMONTE. monthly periods for it meant a couple of days in bed in awful agony. I final- ly made up my mind that the good loctors were guessing; and hearing from different friends such good re- ports.of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound, I tried that. I bless the day 1 did, for it was the dawning of a new life for me. I used five bottles before I was cured, but when they were taken I was a well: woman once more. Your Compound is eertainly wonderful. Several of my friends have used it since, and nothing but the best dol ever hear from its use.” — Yours, MABELLE L.

The official record of Jenry Lind’s birth in the parish books states that her parentage is unknown, but the wo- man wh» brought her to the church to be baptized, end who was believed to be her mother, was the widow of an army captain named Lindborg. She afterwards married a government clerk named Lind, whore name was given to the “Swedisa Nightingale,” when he formally adopt2d ber a few weeks lat- er. Her reputed father was a rich brewer named Schmidt, one of the most prominent and richest men in Stock- holm at that day. His brewery is still running, and is cwned by his descend- ants. Jenny Lind was paptizer as Jo- hanna Lindborg. The nickname by which she became famous was given her in her childhood, says a writer in the Chicago Record-Herald. Her mother lived in two different tenements, No. 53 Jakobsbergsgatan and No. 32 Mastercamuelgatan, while she was an infant, and it is not defi- nitely known in which she was born. Both claim the honor, but the weight of evidence seems to be in favor of the former, which is on a short street in the manufacturing section of the city, and mostly occupied by artisans of va- rious sorts. A smkare, or carpenter, now occupies the ground floor of the two-story building in-which Mrs. Lind- borg lived. The remainder of the house is occupied by a man who makes bird cages and other wire goods, and a gun- mender. A cabinetmaker has his shop in the rear. The other place is on a better street, near the center of the business section, and the ground floor is occupied by a skaddare, as they call a tailor in Sweden. A Mr. Lindhahl, who holds a position in the royal library, has an interesting coNection of letters and documents re- lating to the early life of Jenny Lind. Most of them are unpublished. He has certified copies of the record of her birth and christening, and the proceed- ings of the court which, when she was fourteen years old, decided that her pa- rents were unfit persons to have charge of her, and appointed the director of the opera house as her guardian, He also has a number of autograph letters, written when she was a child, and af- terwards when she was a young woman in Paris studying with Mme. Garcia. One of them, written at the age of elev- en, is extremely interesting, for it re- veals the poverty of her family and her thoughtfulness in saving expense for her mother. She says that she must have a new pair of shoes, for the shoe- maker has refused to repair her old ones any longer, and tells her mother that she can buy a pair at Drottning- holm, where she is stopping—a little village that surrounds the king’s palace a little cheaper than she can get them in Stockholm. The letters from Paris, fall of ardor and enthusiasm, tell of her experience there, the compliments that have been paid her, the encouragement she has received and her confidence of success. ‘There are still people living in Stock- holm who knew her intimately, al- though the greater part of her life was spent in London. Among others is Prof. Gunter, a former instructor in the Royal conservatory of music, who re- tired on a pension a few years ago, to whom she was at one time engaged to be married. Ske jilted him to marry Otte Goldsmith, her accompanist upon her American tour, under the manage- ment of P. T. Barnum. Mr. Goldsmith is still in London. Their son is a cap- tain in the British army, and their daughter is married to a prominent business man in London. When she was ten years old she was apprenticed to the singing master cf the Royal opera in Stockholm, with a number of other girls of her age who had fine voices, and at the age of eight- een made her debut in the opera of which ‘Fas toth down to m room for tke new one that stands opposite the palace to-day. It is an institution of which the people of Stockholm are very proud. Great Scheme for Getting Rich. Oscar J. Lee has perfected an electric device for locating veins of metal in the ground. He has obtained two patents as to method and three on his instru- ment. It is destined to revolutionize the present methods of prospecting. Mr. Lee has located eleven veins of copper on the Calumet & Hecla properties, in Michigan, and several gold mines in Idaho and Oregon. One vein was found at a depth of 600 feet by this process. Mr. Lee, who is an electrical engineer, came to America from Frederikstad, Norway, at the age of nineteen. He took up the study of electricity, and has held several important positions. The apparatus which he has invented is de- scribed in the Western Electrician, and is highly praised. Affairs in Denmark. Christian IX., the aged Danish mon- arch, announces that he will visit his son, King George of Greece, this win- ter. That the king should undertake his longest journey at the advanced age of eighty-three is surprising to his sub- jects, but the king is still a virile and active man, and quite enthusiastic over his prospective visit. The new liberal ministry in Denmark is taking hold of all matters with a strong hand. If permitted to continue, it will undoubtedly institute many re- forms, to the Jecided benefit of the kingdom. The ministry has asked the rigsdag for an appropriation of 5,000,000 kroner for artillery. Unless it is grant- ed, Maceen, the war minister, will re- sign. So far only the Socialists will op- pose the proposition. The Very Oldest. Norway’s oldest inhabitant is Lars Gudbrandson Klypen, in Hadeland, who was born at Klypen in 1798, and has lived there ever since. The old man is quite weak and calmly awaits death, but says that ke may live to be 150. His sight and hearing are good, and he takes a lively interest in all his visit- ors. To a newspaper corresspondent he said that he had been a hard-drinker at one time, and atso an inveterate smoker, but long ago laid aside both habits. Klypen recalls many incidents of the war of 1814, in which several of his brothers participated, Far Northland. | SHOWED ’EM THE FARMS. Why It Costs to Give Stereopticon Lectures in Sweden. It costs $100 for a license to give a free stereopticon lecture in Sweden, ac- cording to a special correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch in Sweden, and the reasons therefor are due to the cleverness of an American emigration agent. The government has looked with disfavor on the work of emigra- tion agents, as the rural districts are being depleted of their most desirable inhabitants. The agents were discour- aged in every way, and were practical- ly prohibited from carrying on their work. One day, however, one of the tribe appeared in a Swedish village and ad- vertised a free stereopticon show. The hall was crowded to the street. The lecturer showed views of Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains and other wonder- ful scenery. Then he casually threw in a picture of a lovely farm in Wiscon- sin, where prosperity and wealth were depicted on all sides. This, he incident- ally remarked, was owned by Hans An- derson, who emigrated from the village in which the lecture was given, ten years before, and from a poor peasant boy had become a rich man. Sure enough, tne spectators soon recognized Hans Anderson in the sleek granger in the picture. The lecturer showed other farm scenes, and, later, casually remarked that he would sail for America on a certain boat on a certain date. On the appointed day he was not surprises to find many of his auditors en the dock searching for him. They had their sav- ings with them, and were taken to the United States. Eventually the plot was discovered by the government. As a result, a high license fee was thereupon imposed upon free stereopticon shows. BECAUSE COAL WAS SCARCE Sweden Is Turning Her Attention to Mountain Streams. Sweden has been reduced to desper- ate straits because of the high price of fereign coal and the inferior quality of her own. Inverticn has thus been stimulated in several directions. One suggestion which has been made to the government is that it shall utilize the water rower of the moutains for the electrical operation of state railways. And, inasmuch as Sweden is nearly as well off in mountain streams as Switz- erland, the idea will, no doubt, receive careful consideration. The country which gave birth to Nobel and Ericsson has produced other wideawake engin- eers. Another proposition which has been put forward is to burn peat on the rail- roads, This kind of fucl is abundant in Sweden. Hitherto it has not been found feasible to use this fuel on the ordinary locomotive. It may be necessary, there- fore, to modify its furnace, or else to prepare the peat in a fresh form, as, for instance, in briquettes. Already this latter solution of the fuel question has been tried in Germany, and compara- tively successful results are reported from that country. A briquette fac- tory just erected in Sweden, under gov- ernment auspicer, will operate, under German patents, this fall and winter. THE CHRUCH OF NORWAY May Re Disestablished and Compuls- ory Confirmation Abolished. Signs of another religious reforma- tion in Norway reveal themselves now and then; but there were never so many indications as at a recent con- clave of the clergy of the Church of Norway. They protested against com- pulsory confirmation and advocated the ehurch’s disestablishment. At present the whole religious system of Norway is administered by the church depart- ment, whos? head is one of the minis- ters of the cabinet. Pastorates and oth- er religious positions are virtually po- litical offices, under present conditions. Thg thinking people of the country have long “singe agreed that such a union of church and state is not pro- ductive of the greatest spiritual activ- ity. The rite of confirmation is now com- pulsory. That the vows thus taken are not fully comprehended by children from thirteen to fifteen years of age is evident. Moreover, the system tends to breed nypocrisy in religious matters. The clergy of Norway urge that taking of the obligations be wholly voluntary. From Far and Near. Dr. George Brandes, the noted Dan- ish critic and literateur, has been voted an annual stipend of 5,000 kroner in re- cognition of his literary work.’ Nearly the whole royal family wil spend the Christmas holidays at Chris- tiania palace. Prince Carl and Princess Ingeborg, with their two daughters, were due to arrive Dec. 5. The crown prince and sons were due to arrive two days later. King Oscar and Queen So- phia were to follow them. A large Ger- man squadron, under the command of Prince Henry, will visit Christiania this month. The Russian “saw-filers,” who were generally believed to be spies, recently made a short stay in Blaker, Norway. One of them was plainly no working- man. He wore riding boots, and had a very military bearing. They forgot a fine map of Sweden and Norway at one of the houses where they lodged. All spoke a sort of Norwegian, and were very reticent regarding their travels. The first uniform edition of Ibsen’s dramas from “Catalina,” which he write as a mere boy to “Little Eyolf,” has recently been put on the market by the famous Gyldenjah! Book house of Coperhagen. The edition appears in nine volumes, and contains all of Ib- sen’s dramatic works with the excep- tion of “When the Dead Awaken.” A new book by Arne Garborg is about to appear. dialect, and is understood to be a se- quel to “Haugtussa,” which appeared six years ago. It is a pity that Garborg is not better known, for his stories are strong and well told, but it is difficult io translate his language into English and retain the original flavor and Dr. M. Ekenburg of Gothenborg, Sweden, has discovered a process of re- ducing milk to powder without destroy- ing any of its properties.

The Palace of the Poor. In London the Adelphia Arches were famed for a most wonderful coiliection o2 human waifs and strays, and Paris, it atpears, has something analogous at Bagnolet, where there is a marvelous shelter called by a French journalist “The Subterranean Palace of the Poor.” It has been produced by extensive ex- cavations under a hill whose soil yields material for making plaster. Large fires are kept going to burn this natur- ai production and produce the plaster. Around these glowing fires congregate homeless men, women and children, un- disturbed, if they behave, by the Paris police, For years the undermining of this hill of cozy comfort has been going on, and pillars have been left standing at regular intervals, to prevent the top falling in, which, in the glowing fire- light resemble, to some extent, the fairy halls of the Arabian Nights. The scene is wierd in the extreme, as the firelight plays upon groups of rag- ge2 wretches who bask in the generous warmth, until another winter morning dawns and excavation work commenc~ |e? when they must go out into the chilly air and scramble for any stray crumbs which may fall from the rich man’s ia- ble in wealthy Paris.—Paris Messen- ger. Physicians Much Interested. Northport, Mich., Dec. 9.—The medi- cal men are just now eagerly discuss- ing a most remarkable cure of a severe case of Kidney Disease in this county. Mr. Byron O. Leslie of Northport has for years been a victim of kidney de- rangements, with all the consequent pain and annoyance. He was gradual- ly growing worse, and as the disease advanced he became very despondent, often wondering if he would have to endure this suffering all his lifetime. But at last he found a remedy that cured him in Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He was much pleased, but did not sey much about it, lest the good effect he experienced would not last. Now, how- ever, after nine months of continued good health he has concluded that he is permanently cured, and his announce- ment of this has caused a profound sensation among the physicians and the people who knew of his apparently hopeless condition.
