Up to date Sweden has done the fol lowing things for women: In 1845 parliament granted to sisters equal hereditary rights to. property with their brothers, and a wife equal matri- monial rights to property with her hus- | band. In 1846 women were permitted to en- gage in trate. { In 1853 women were first employed as teachers in the public schools. In 1856 women were admitted to the academy of music, they were recognized as law- to wills, In 1859 colleges for' women were est- tablished. In 1861 women were permitted to Fractice medicine and dentistry: they were first employed as organists in churches, and normal schools were es- tablished for the education of women | teacher In 1862 suffrage was granted women in municipal affairs. These rights can now be exercised by all women who pay taxes. In Stockholm, however, a wo- man voter must be out of debt and the lawful owner of the property on which the taxes are paid. ment passed a law recog- ht of a wife to demand a In 1862 p: ng the ri ni separation of the property owned in common with the husband. In 1863 women were admitted to the postal and telegraph service of the gov- lared to be of age at ernment and de twenty years. In 1864 instruction in physical culture was extended to women at the central institut In 1866 they at the Acaderr In 1869 they were first employed as instructors of singing and dgawing in the public schools, and were appointed to clerkships in the railway bureaus of rnment. were admitted as pupils y of arts. nedicine at the universities on an ) y with men, and were admitted to the practiee of medicine. In 1872 a law was repealed which re- cuired a woman to have the consent of her nearest kinsman to marry, except in the case of daughters of the nobility. In 1873 women were admitted to all the departments of the universities with the exception of the theological schools. Between 500 and 600 have since received degrees. In 1874 colleges were esstablished for the higher education of girls and the property rights of married women were enlarged. In 1882 the law prohibiting the mar- e of daughters of the nobility with- the consent of their nearest kins- snan was repealed. In 1884 the age at which women reached their majority was reduced from twenty-five to twenty-one years. In 1889 women were made eligible to bership on school boards, boards of of the poor and parish ri rdians boards. In 1891 women were granted the right come apothecaries and pharma- 9 the marriageable age of women xed at seventeen years. The Gest Swedi rike. strixe of the workingmen in Stockholm noniae the debates in the rigsdag over the universal suffrage bill was unique. Nearly 40,000 men laid down their tools and quit. For two days Stockholm, a city of 300,000 inhab- itants, was without new: spapers—abso- lutely every industry was completely paralyzed. The conduct of the strikers was most exemplary. They attired themselves in their “Sunday best” and went on the streets with other prom- enaders, swelling the crowds greatly; but there were no attendant disorders; rather the town was quieter even than ou Sunday, for the cabs and street cars were not running. The demonstration called forth many comments for its die- nity, but it also made the people thoughtful. The newspapers did a thriving busi- ness with the provincial dailies, but could not begin to supply the demand for news. Aftonbladet issued a small extra, which was run off on hekto- graphs. The engineers of the electric light stations had to get down to real work. The theaters were closed, for the stage hands were taking a holiday or two. It is doubtful if ever a city was so completely tied up as Stockholm during the big strike of May 16-17. The Struggles of Zoir. ‘There are at the appraisers’ store in New York two cases of etchings signed “Emil Zoir,” shipped from Stockholm, one to Andrew Carnegie and one to Robert Lindblom. Mr. Zoir writes, in struggling English, that he is a strug- gling American artist, whose townswo- man, Mrs. J. Gardner of Boston, “did once help me,” and that God will bless a patron of art who will buy a lot of his etchings. He was unkind enough to send duplicates in the two cases, and to specify at the same time, that he made no duplicates of any of his productions. His letter to Mr. Lindblom is in Swed- ish. The whole bunch, letters and all, have been declined by the consignees, and will be sold at auction. Money in Eg: Norway’s poultry association has @one a great work during the past five years in the line of interesting the farmers in poultry-raising. In 1897 the country imported eggs to the value of 1,183,000 kroner; but since then there has been a great decrease, «nd last year the egg imports were valued at only 174,200 kroner. In a very short time eggs will form one of the exports. \ Great Finds in-South America. | Count Erik von Rosen, who is a mem- ber of the Nordenskjold scientific expe- dition in South America, writes to the Swedish magazines that the exploration is yielding the richest harvests. In the field of archeology the writer has been merous Indian cities, some of them which must have had upwards of 8,000 inhabitants. Nordenskjold, whose spe- cialty is paleontology, has found fossil remains of mastadons and other. ani- mais of the past in great numbers. | sying storms which fail to make thi inh Scant FISHERMEN. Boyesen’s Sketch of Life in Their Villages. In one of his numerous magazine arti- tes the Tate Hjalmar Hjort Boyesen wrote very entertainingly of life in the fishing villages of Norway, with which he was very familiar in his boyhood days. The following sketch will be 7e- ognized as true to life by thousands of citizens of the Northwest: “It is a beautiful sight to see the fish- , ing fleet start out in the early morning. singly or in companies of three, four or half a dozen, the boats come scudding along with the one square sail set, until the whole sea seems covered, and a jagged line of masts defines the west- ern horizon. When they have reached the fishing grounds they let the sails drop; the hooks are baited and the lines fiung overboard. Those who have had nets set over night haul them in and row home, returning later in the day, for, in order to give the deep-line fish- !ers a chance, the law prohibits the en- cumbering of the sea with nets during the daytime. “There are now government signal stations along <he coast, which sive warning of the probable state of the weather. But, for all that, scarcely @ year passes without a multitude of ac- cidents. As we know, such official ‘probabilities’ are extremely fallible, often weakening whatever confidence people might repose in them by prop! appearance; ard failing to prophesy those which make widows and orphans by the score. It was only last year that a storm of this sort made havoc in many humble homes in the north of Norway. Day after day and night af- ter night every knoll and rock about the fishing villages would be crowded with anxious women, spying along the hori- zon for a glimpse of the well known sail which they were never to see again. At the end of a week or two an arm or a Jeg with a sea-boot on would perhaps drift ashore and would be recognized by some mark by one of the many mourn- ers. And then a funeral would be held over that ghastly remnant; and hymns would be sungand tears shed, anda lu- gubious feasts prepared in honor of the dead.”” Deserved to Get Rich. By the death of Mrs. Clara Scharp, who passed away May 3, many charita- le and worthy institutions will come ir.to possession of the rich bequests in the will of Johan Henrik Scharp, who died at Stockholm in 1890. His gifts ag- gregate 582,300 kroner, not including the 100,000 kronar which was made payable to the Northern Museum at his death. There are thirty-five separate be- quests, and every institution in Stock- holm having any claim on the public is remembered. Scientific, educational, patriotic and penevolent fnstitutions de- rive substantial amounts, ranging from 2,000 to. 100,000 kroner. A Famous Cottage. “Peer Gynt’s” cottage, which stands on the North Hage estate in North Fron, has been sold to Telief Tronnes. The latter is an enthusiastic collector of Northern antiquitjes, and has re- cently made a tour through Gudbrande- dalen and secured every relic that was purchasable. He has purchased several cottages, which will be removed to Ringebu and used as museums for his collection. Across the Sea. Thorwald Lochen has been appointed governor of North Throndjhem’s amt by the Norwegian government. Swedish papers announce that Au- fust Strindberg’s wife is prosecuting a divorce suit against him. The grounds are not Stated. Andreas Hansen, the workingmen’s representative in the Norwegian storth- ing, died May 16. He was forty-five years old and represented Bergen. Fourteen officers of the Norwegian army of and above the grade of cap- tain will be compelled to retire this year on eccount of the age limit. Col. Krag is among the number. Norway’s state debt has increased to 263,000,000 kroner, or about 34,000,000 kro- ner in the past two years. It costs this little country 10,200,000 kroner annually to carry this great debt. Amalia Norman, a widow, has left her whole estate, worth about 60,000 kroner, to Mariestad, to be managed by the mayor and.the pastor of the state church, as a fund for the amelioration of the condition of the poor. Live beavers are costly. The direct- ors of Skansen, the great natural park in Stockholm, were negotiating with the Hudson Bay company for a pair, and the lowest price submitted was $1,000 per pair. Skansen will have no beav- ers. Theodor Lundeberg, the Swedish sculp- tor, has completed a model for the Pul- tawa monument, in the erection of which Capt. Claes Grill has greatly in- terested himself. It will be one of the finest monuments in Sweden when fin- ished. An interesting feature of the reunion of Danes at Salinas, Cal., was the ap- pearance of an impromptu glee club, made up of old Danish pioneers. There were twelve of them from the fifties and early sixties, and they were enthusias- tically encored. The waiters in Goteborg, acting on the belief that they were both over- worked and underpaid, are beginning to agitate for the amelioration of their condition. They want a fixed salary and the abolishment of the tip system. The restaurant keepers are considering the demands. A monument to Potinues Vikner, the Swedish scientist and scholar, was-un- veiled at Upsala last month, in the Fresence of Prince Gustaf Adolf, the Upsala students and delegations from Upsala and Christiania universities and several scientific societies. Stefan Sinding, the Norwegian sculp- tor, recognized by many as the greatest of living sculptors, is contemplating a visit to the United States, He was re- cently commissfoned to prepare two of the groups for the elaborate monument to be erected in Washington to the memory of Gen.

The farmers of the Unitéd States to- day are sowing corn fields aggregating over eighty million acres—ten million more than ten years ago, and harvest- ing. two billion bushels and over in a,season. Their wheat fields cover forty million acres—four million more than in 1890—and even the oat area is nearly thirty million acres, an in- crease of 20 per cent. It may be im- possible to sell such a crop immediate- ly except at a loss.\ Therefore the im- perative necessity for storage facili- ties has resulted in the development of the elevator system in America on a scale unknown elsewhere in the world. 3 On a Dakota, Kansas or Nebraska farm where the harvest field may cover 500 or 2,000 acres only a small portion of the yield is threshed and placed in the barn bins. The bulk is carried to what are termed railroad el- evators located in convenient towns. These vary in capacity from 10,000 to 100,000 bushels, according to their lo- cation in the producing district, and from them the transportation company loads its cars for the domestic or for- eign market. But the district eleva tors, as they might be called, repre- sent only a fraction of the space for storage which now exists in the Unit- ef States. Before it is loaded on ship- board at tidewater, a cargo may pass through four or five different build- ings, be transferred from car to ves- sel and back again to car, as the mod- ern processes employed facilitate its handling with ease and economy. How to Tell a Persian Rug. A great many people flatter them selves that they are able to tell a genuine Persian rug from a spurious, machine-made one by touch, but in this they deceive themselves. The best and surest way to tell a genuine from an imitation Persian rug is by the fol- lowing: If one will look close he will ob- serve that in the genuine Persian rug the intricate and complicated pattern or design is not altogether symmetri- cal, the corresponding flowers, vines, or geometrical figures of one side be- ing a little out of line, larger or small- er, or not meeting, and joining with figures on the corresponding detail on the opposite side of the rug. This is owing to the fact that in hand-weaving it is impossible to obtain perfect sym- metry of patterns, especially when the designs are so complicated as they are on Persian rugs. On the other hand, let one examine closely the ma- chine-made rug, and he will find the most perfect symmetry of pattern, so much so, in fact, that the design looks positively rigid and harsh. This is a pretty safe guide, and if observed one will seldom mistake an imitation for a genuine Persian rug. Sample Love Letter. When he began to learn to read ana write English, Rouche Sampson Bona- venture O’Brien, a Frenchman from Montreal, happened to select, in pur- suing his studies, a “Ready Letter Writer,” which included love letters for the bashful, as a medium from which to copy. The copies were sub- mitted to Mrs. Mabel Davis, his teach- er, which, he says, accounts for his be- ing named as corespondent in a di- vorce suit brought by Mr. Davis. O’Brien is chief engineer of the Nar- ragansett Electric Company, at Provi- dence, and while pursuing his study of English lodged at a house where Mrs. Davis also had rooms. In writing letters he did not confine himself to those in the book, but found some to his liking in newspapers, and says that on one occasion he copied extracts from a letter which a dish- washer named John, who worked at the lodging house, showed him, and which he sent to Mrs. Davis. Some of his letters fell into the hands of Mr. Davis, and a divorce suit is the result. Not Ready to Make Up. They had, been having a discussion concerning the necessity or otherwise of purchasing a new silk dress in or- der to be on a level with the De/Mon- eys next door. Banks had vetoed the purchase on the ground of extrava- gance and want of funds, and his wife was much put out. “Dinner ready, my dear?” he asked, in his most conciliatory manner. Her face had been like a stale thunder- storm ever since the disagreement, and Banks wanted to change it. “Yes,” answered Mrs. B—, shortly. “Must try again,” said Banks to himself. Then aloud: “Ah, I am glad of that, my love. I have what the poets would call ‘an aching void,’ Saré “You often suffer. from headache,” she returned in a cutting tone. Banks drew his chair up to the table with unnecessary noise, and re- frained trom further attempts at con. ciliation 1or the rest of the day.— Stray Stories. A Shakespeare Magazine, Shakespearean enthusiasts in Eng- land have combined to produce a new quarterly magazine of which Shakes- peare is to be the inspiration. It was launched at Stratford-on-Avon on Shakespeare's birthday, April 23, and its title is the Shrine. The, idea. of its founders is that’ Shakespeare was a symbolist and the magazine is to bear witness to his personal thought as enshrined in his symbolism. The magazine begins by spurning the contention that Shakespeare was Bacon on the ground that Bacon’s verse is utterly contemptible, and the mean, groveling and sometimes even Joathsome r of his moral sen- timents would be impossible to Shakespeare, Dr, D. Frank Powell, St. Paul, Minn. CONGRESSMAN MAN FITZPATRICK, Says Pe-ru-na is a Splendid Ga- tarrhal Tonic. Congressman T. Y. Fitzpatrick. } bated titactirti tocinctncthe tact tad Hon. T. Y.

Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, 0. A Crushing Reply. Referring to “The Pulpit and Pew” question raised by Dr. Horton’s inter- esting experiment, a North London min- ister writes: “I think we ministers rather relish criticism, but we get too little of it.” One recalls in this connection the sto- ry of the young minister walking home with one of the elders after the.deliver- ance of his first sermon. After some moments’ silence the latter observed: “You were not long.” “T am very glad to hear you say so,” replied the youthful cleric; “I was afraid I was tedious.” “Oh,” was the crushing reply, “you were tedious.”—Westminster Gazette. Speaking of Royalty. Damocles had been invited to dine with the King of Syracuse. On taking his seat he instantly saw the sword hanging by a hair above his head. “IT suppose,” he said to the king, “‘you call that the hair apparent.” Dionysi- us, pretending to see no humor in the remark, replied: “T don’t know about that, my boy; but ff it falls upon your head it will make some crown prints.” This shows that the ancients were not averse to joking, even under trying cir- cumstances.—New York Times. Couldn’t Straighten Up. Breed, Wis., June 16th—Charles F. Peterson of this place, Justice of the Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol- towing story: “For years I had an aching pain in my back, which troubled me very much, especially in the morning. “I was almost unable to straighten my back and the pain was unbearable. “I did not know what it was, but see- ing an advertisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I concluded to try a box. “I can only say ‘that one box alone has done me more good than anything else ever did. “I feel as well now as ever I was. “TI have recommended Dodd’s Kidney Pills to several others, who are using them with good results.” Mr. Peterson is a highly-respected’ man and one who would not so positive- ty make a statement unless it was ab- solutely true. The Bringer of Babies. “That great matters are not always the most important is evidenced,” re- marked the stork, “‘by the fact that my fame and reputation are due solely to my strict attention to very little things.”—Colorado Springs Gazette.
