BULK DID IT, Three Thousand Dollars in Ones Was Too Much for the Farmer. “The Bismarck Quarry company had an option on three acres of land belonging to Sam Dunseith, good for one year, the price being $1,000 an acre,” said the bank teller. “Before the expiration of the time the company offered payment, which Dunseith refused. He wanted more. The man could not legally demand it, but the company, wishing to avoid a lawsuit, asked my opinion in the mat- ter. I suggested payment in $1 bills. “I obtained a large coin sack and counted ont 3,000 ones. Sorting them separately and crumpling them all up, I thrust them into the sack, which looked like a bag of feathers. The president of the company, together with a lawyer and a clerk as witness, proceeded to the house of Dunseith and again proffered payment, which was again refused. Walking over to the large table in the center of the room, the president cut the string and dumped the contents of the sack in a huge pile on the table. “Here is your $3,000! Will you take it?” “The farmer was amazed at the pile of money—more than he had ever seen before. He stammered out: **I guess I'll take it.’ “In less than three minutes his sig- nature was on a deed, witnessed by the lawyer’s clerk.”—Philadelphia Led- ger. Easy to Get. Pierpont, O., Oct. 5th—Remarkable indeed is the experience of Mr. A. S. Turner, a man now ,over seventy-one years of age, and whose home is here. For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very. unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that very often bothers aged people. He would have to get up four or five times every night, and this very tire- some disease was fast wearing him out. At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief, he stumbled over a medicine which relieved him almost immediately, and has cured him per- manently. It is so very easy to get end so simple that Mr. Turner thinks everyone should know of it. Every dealer in the country has it, and all you have to do is to ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says:— “I can heartily and honestly recom- mend Dodd’s Kidney Pills, for they cured me. Several others in the fam- ity have used them too, and always with the best results. I think they have no equal.” Recollections. She—The baronet says he has many tender memories of Oxford. He—Yes, bartender memories.

Bibliotheque Saint Genevieve in Paris will in a few months install its Scandinavian collection in a separate building which has beep under prepara- tion during the summer. At‘the same time a complete catalogue prepared by Erik Lie and Eugene Capet will be published. The nucleus of the Scandi- navian library at Sainte Genevieve was presented by Archbishop Le Lellier of Rheims in 1710. For over 150 years this old library remained in an attic. In 1868 a French consul at Christiania sent a collection of Norse works to the librarian at Sainte Genevieve. This caused*a search to be made, and the | ancient library was brought to light. Since then King Oscar and the pub- lishers in Sweden, Norway and Den- mark have taken active interest in ex- panding the library. The Norwegian Publishers’ association have recently promised to supply all works published in Norway since 1848, and the mighty Gyldendal house in Copenhagen has presented large quantities of books, until the library is one of the finest of Scandinavian collections. As there are several thousands of Scandinavians permanently located in Paris, as well as large numbers of stu- dents temporarily in the city, the open- ing of the new library will be an event of considerable importance. NORWEGIAN NOOKS, English Tourists Enthusiastic Over Norwegian Resorts. | A writer in the Queen, a British pub- lication, tells entertainingly of some | of the resorts of Norway which are no less attractive for their reasonable charges than for their picturesque sur- roundings. The Sanatorium hotel at Aaseral, which is a steamer communication with Christiansund, is recommended for its trout fishing, and the roads are alse good for cycling. There is also the Framnaes hotel on the Opheim lake, 1,000 feet above sea level, and beautifully situated. The hotel is | most comfortable and very moderate. ‘There is also the Sommerhjem sanato- | rium at Bygland in the Saetersdal, which deserves to be better known to English people. Another place off the beaten track is Godsund, an island in the Hardanger fjord, three hours by | steamer from Bergen, where there is a good and cheap hotel. Vikingnaes in | lish people, and there are English | Painting in a Lodge Room Damaged by a Goat. | An oil painting of George Washing- | ton, measuring six by eight feet, which | ornamented the assembly room of a | hotel in Long Island City, has been damaged by a goat, and is believed by | the owner to be beyond repair. Recently the owner of the hotel bor- rowed a large white goat and was fat- | tening him to have him in a frisky con- dition for a lodge initiation, at which | it was planned the goat would be an | important feature. It was found the | goat had a fondness for stale bread, so daily he was allowed to visit the back of the lunch counter in the barroom | to eat the ends of loaves thrown there | by the bartender. On Saturday there | was a rush of business. When the goat had eaten his fill of bread no one | paid any attention to him. | The animal wandered into the as- | sembly room, mounted a tagle, and, | resting his forefeet on the top of the wainscoting, proceeded to make a des- sert of the painting. He had torn it badly when an employe of the hotel discovered the goat. The animal was kicked into the street, and the lodge will do without the feature—New ‘York Tribune. IT’S A MISTAKE | To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades of Coffee. Many people lay all the blame for | the diseases caused by coffee upon the poorer grades of coffee but this is an error as the following proves: “t have used every kind of the best| grade of tea and coffee that can be got from a first-class grocer, but never found one that would not upset my neryous system and it was not until I began to drink Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee and tea that I had relief from the terrific attacks of nervous sick headache from which I had suffered for 30 years. “I had tried all kinds of medicines but none helped me. “Soon after I stopped drinking cof- fee and began to drink Postum the headaches grew less and it was not long until I was entirely cured and I have never had a return of this dis- tressing trouble, for nowadays I never drink coffee but stick to Postum. | “As soon as my wife saw what Pos- tum had done for me she gave up coffee, which she had drank all her life. This was six weeks ago and she is a changed woman, for her ner- vousness has all disappeared and- her face has become smooth and her cheeks have a good rosy red color. She sleeps well, too, something she could never do while she drank cof- fee. We consider Postum a house- hold necessity in my house and have jnduced many friends to try this wonderful food drink in place of cof- fee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

He May Prove to Have Been One of the Foremost of Scientists. Emanuel Swedenborg is chiefly famous as the founder of a new re- ligion, but if Alfred H. Stroh, the Swedenborg was one of the greatest of the world’s scientists. Mr. Stroh, who has been copying his published manuscripts, declares that most im- pertant discoveries have been made. The scientists of the early eight- eenth century distrusted Swedenborg as a religious dreamer, but the new discoveries show him to rank along as a scientist. The Swedish Academy of Science has already begun to move in the matter, and a committee of five professors has been appointed to pub- lish Swedenborg’s manuscripts in ge- ology, anatomy, cosmology, chemistry and physics. BY CHIMNEY ROUTE. Chimney Sweep Turns His Talents to Burglary. Robert Deandrode, a Copenhagen | chimney sweep, has originating a new method of conimitting burglary. He | has made it a practice after working hours to crawl through chimneys into houses where he knew no one was at home, to steal. The police were un- able to detect the perpetrator of the | numerous burglaries until one day there was soot detected on the floor and furniture of a place that had been robbed. This at once led to the detec- tion of the chimney sweep. He has confessed to having committed twen- ty-six burglaries, all in the same man- ner. Railways Make Money. Denmark's state railways, that have hitherto been conducted at a loss ow- | ing to extremely low freight and pas- senger rates, have for the financial | year 1892-1893 shown a_ surplus of more than 3,000,600 kroner ($804,000), swing partly to somewhat increased rates and economical management, but partly also to increased traffic.

Presperity of Augustana Synod Is Shown in Figures. In the annual report of the Augus- tana Swedish Lutheran synod, recent- ly issued, it is shown, that it has 501 ministers and 596 congregations, with 131,999 communicants and 216,428 souls. There are 831 churches and 365 parsonages, and 21,118 children, taught by 549 teachers, have attended the church schools. For the synod and its various conferences and districts’ in- ner missions, there was during the year expended the sum of $37,195. Of this sum $9,194 was devoted to for- eign missions, and to orphans’ homes $16,310. During the twenty-four years the synod has ‘existed 75 ministers have died, 33 have returned to Sweden and, entered the service of the state church, 10 have associated themselves with other Lutheran associations, 14 have been expelled and 9 have retired from the ministry. NORWAY WANTS UNION. Storthing Elections Are So Construed in Stockholm. The Aftonbladet, Stockholm, opines: “The Norwegian people have, by the concluded storthing elections, indicat- ed that they want union negotiations and peace. With no uncerta‘nties they have shown that they do not wish open or hidden separatism when it can ob- tain a reasonable settlement. The Swedish offer has received an answer which cannot be misconstrued. Now it will depend upon the Swedish union friends to as emphatically disarm the Swedish nationalism which stands in the way of union harmony. Without such disarmament the Norwegian sep- aratism will probably raise its defiant head again and quickly end the union sentiment which now exists and which could be strengthened for the benefit of safety and prosperity.” ARMY HAS RIGHT OF WAY. Finland’s Railways to Be Run by Rus- sian Army Chief. Finland has a new director general be called state railways, but must be called “crown railroads.” The new ap- pointee is a Russian military officer, Col. Dratscheffsky, chief of army transports in Finland. The Finnish railways are now, since the Tornea line has been completed and the con- nection at St. Petersburg with the the first place to serve military pur- poses. The promotion of the chief of the army transports of Finland to the position of chief for the entire railway cant and interesting—not the least to Sweden. NILSSON IN STOCKHOLM. Given a Reception Reminding Her of Old Times. Christina Nilsson (Countess Casa Nuranda) arrived in Stockholm Sept. 9, and was royally welcomed by the people and by the king. She appeared to be stouter than when she visited the Swedish capital six years ago, but was youthful and active in her walk and movements. She spoke Swedish as fluently as if she had never left her home for sunny Spain, and she was plainly delighted to be among her own people again. She had planned a long tour of Sweden, through Delearlia and Norrland, and also into Norway if the weather was favorable: For Arctic Research. Dr. Fridjof Nansen, the eminent Arc- ber of the scientific society, who’ de- sires his name to b withheld, a sum of 6,000 kroner ($1,608) for furthering Arctic exploration. He wishes this money to be held as a_ subordinate fund to be called the “American fund.” The anonymous giver spent a year in the United States and he is anxious in this manner to show his admiration of the American people. Swedes Applaud Norwegians. Sweden is remarkably well satisfied with the results of the Norwegian elections and applauds the downfall of the radicals with their continued oppocition to conciliatory measures. It is taken for granted that the first werk of the new mjyistry, when it has been formed, will pe to reopen nego tions for the settlement of the consu- lar question. Christiania’s Holocaust.

Railway in Scotland. The new line from Spean bridge to Fort Augustus, Scotland, which runs through the great glen alongside the Caledonian canal, Was opened recent- ly. The railway continues the work which the West Highland company commenced a few years ago in opening up some of the grandest scenery in Scotland to the public. A sleeping car for Spean bridge, the junction with the new line ,is attached to the East Coast express, leaving King’s Cross, London, in the evening, passengers being due to reach Fort Augustus the following morning. Seeking Russian Treasure. A Russian merchant named Zimmia- koff is causing the bed of the Volga in Russia to be examined near Katow in an endeavor to find treasure which is said to be valued at upward of $15,- 000,000. The fantastic story is cireu- lated that this treasure was once cast into the river by the famous bri- gand Stenkay Razynin. The story goes that, pursued by Cossacks, the brigand threw away this immense hoard of gold and jewels, accumulated during a life of crime. The spot was only known to five leaders of the band. The last, who has just died, revealed, it is said, the secret to the merchant. ‘There s more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last Sew years was supposed to be incurable.
