In view of the fact that Johan Sver- drup’s name will appear frequently in these columns in connection with the suit brought by his children against Bjornstjerne Bjornson for casting re- flections upon Bjcrnson’s character, a brief sketch of the life of this remark- able man is in order. That Johan Sverdrup was the ablest statesman which Norway has produced in the last half century, that he intro- duced many reforms that will be of lasting benefit to his country, will not be disputed, even by Bjuroson. From 1850, when he was elected to the storth- ing, until 1880, the period of his life, which he call2i the “Thirty Years’ War,” was devoted to a zealous and energetic agitation for the adoption of his many radical ideas. adical they were in conservative old Norway, and even the classes which he sought to help—the pearcents and workingmen— were often fearful of accepting his doc- trines. In the storthing he was known as the little black man (Vesle Svarten) and in the back country the church people held him to be a companion of the evil one. With nervous temperament and a fe- verish enthusiasm, Sverdrup combined a never-failing confidence in himself aid great self-control. While he might have been exp2cted to be the most im- patient of men, he was, on the con- trary, one who could plan far ahead, and wait patiently for the opportune moment to execute his plans. Often defeated, he was never to be swerved {rom his purpose by the strer gest op- position and the most malignant at- tacks. He fought for the introduction of the jury system, self-government in local affairs, annual sessions of the storthing, and gained his reforms by sheer force of hard work. Sverdrup greatly increased the power of the stor- thing and deprived the king of his ab- solute vote in Norwegian affairs, Fin- ally, in 1884, when he considered that his life’s work was done, he accepted the responsibility of forming a minis- try, an invitation which the king was forced to tender him. The honor was desired by the old statesman, but as he had been accused of having no oth- er purpose in politics than to smash ministries, he accepted the task “to show that he could also form a minis- try. He declared in his speech of ac- ceptance that he had hoped to continue to the end as a leader of the opposition in the storthing, but would, neverthe- less, accept the responsibility bestowed upon him. His friends were uneasy; but he went to work with his customary confidence and energy, and soon silenced all his critics by his wise end patriotic admin- istration of public affairs. On Feb. 17, 1892, Johan Sverdrup died of heart disease at his chambers, just as he was preparing to go to the storth- ing. He died in the arms of an old ser- vant, and his last words were ‘More sun.” Severe Storms in Norway. A heavy storm, bringing much snow, raged along the southern coast of Nor- way Dee, 17-18. The fishing smacks had a hard time, end several, with their crews were lost. Two fishers from Lan- gesund were drowned, and several ves- sels were reported as missing. At Var- do, in the north, the sicrm also caused much domage, and three fishers went to the icy depths. The storm and snow wrecked tne electric wires, ‘closing down several works and leaving the whole city in total darkness. Railroad trains running in and out of Christian- ia were delayed, and often stalled com- pletely. German Royalty on Skis, Prince Heinrich of Germany was in- troduced to the ski sport at Caristiania last month, and, as might be expected, became very much interested. He and the members of his staff were guests of the Christiania’ Ski club, at its club house on Froen hill. The Germans tried the skis and created no end of fun.Then Fritdjof Nansen gave the prince a taste of Norwegian coasting, and he vowed it was the most exciting and exhilarating ride he had ever had. On arriving at Christiania the whole party invested in a complete ski outfit, including the big mittens. Rejoices Over a Fiasco. When a comedy dramatized from one of Hans Christian Anderson's tales proved a failure at the Svenska theater, the director, Albert Ranft, expressed unrestrained pleasure. He had pro- nnounced the comedy as not adapted to the stage, but had been forced to put it on by leading members of the Au- thors’ club. It was withdrawn after the fourth performance, and Ranft was merry. f A Frost for Bjornson. Bjornson, as a dramatist, is too pro- found for London. His play, “Beyond Human Power,” was presented at the Royalty theater at three special mat- Inees, and although Mrs. Patrick Camp- bell and other stars were in the cast, the play received a very chilly recep- tion, ‘The Scandinavians in the audi- ence were moved to tears in the last act, but the Britons sat like wooden figures. It was a real problem play to them, and they failed to comprehend it. Hounding the Finnish Clergy. Bobrikoff, the cheerful despot who is governor-general of Finland, demands that the clergym2n who refuse to read the new Finnish miltary law be prose- euted. That they will be severely pun- ished, goes without saying, and many will doubtleris be removed, unless they resign. ——_____—_—- sti BRITISH EMIGRATION. Largest Number Last Year Came to the United States. New York, Jan. 8.—Official statistics show that 202,848 emigrants left the United Kingdom for places outside of Europe during 1901, an increase of 4,287, as ccmpared with the figures for the previous year, cables the London cor- respondent of the Tribune.

The figures in the former case show an increase of 5,047, and in the latter a decrease of 6.994. Not on the Program. One of the features of the unveiling of the statue to Magnus Stenbock at Stockholm was very amusing, when the Countesses Stenbock and von Schlieffen pulled the cords to release the drapery, and it failed to fall. Two men mounted the statue under the drapery to repair the fault, and when it was finally re- leased the men found themselves’ con- spicuous parts 4f the group. They clambered down amid great laughter. Died an American. Dr. Allan Roe Read, the American dentist, wko has resided in Copenhagen since 1830, died there last Sunday even- ing. He was liberally patronized by the memkers of the royal house of Denmark and Sweden-Norway, and was a great favorite. Dr, Read refused to accept titles and decorations, and retained his American citizenship in foreign lands for over forty years. Wanted for Swedish Railways. The management of the state rail- ways of Sweden has submitted to the king a proposition to appropriat2 5,000,- 000 kroner for the purchase of new rolling stock.

Thomas B. Reed’s Story. A client recenily asked Thomas B. Reed whether a jury could be relied upon to pronounce accurately as to the intentions of a man accused of crime. Said Mr. Reed: “When I was a young man studying law, I was one day asked to give an illustration from Blackstone on that very point. I quoted the well known incident wherein the law, which pro- hibited the shedding of blood on the streets of London would not apply to the act of a surgeon bleeding a man who had a fit. “The reply was satisfactory to the questioner, but a fellow student, cele- brated for keen, intelligent exceptions, put in his oar at orce. “*The surgeon would be guiltless,’ he admitted, ‘but how about the fellow with the fit??”—New York Times. A Grateful Man. Cox, Wis., Jan. 6.—With Kidney dis- ease so bad that he could hardly walk across the room for pain, Frank M. Russell of this place was a man greatly to be pitied.

He had tried mary medicines and treatments without benefit, but re- cently he read in a rewspaper about Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and these helped him from the very first dose. He took several bexes before he was completely cured, but nuw he is well and strong as ever he was, and feels very grateful to Dodd’s Kidney Pills for his restoration to good health.

The Distinctive Value | i NU ul of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con- dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits, Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. * Louisville, Ky.
