2 ARCTIC AND TROPIC SUNSETS. The Former Have Rare Harmony and the Latter Rich Coloring. Sunsets in the tropics, as I have wit- nesséd them, although full of rich col- orings, cannot vie with the color har- monies of the poles. Even the nights of the tropics, full as they are of beau- ty and richness of color, are not com- parable with those of the Arctic night, when ihe moon is of a brilliance incon- teivable to Southern eyes, and the sun, although hidden during the long night, makes its presence felt by an orange radiance at the southern horizon at noon; and on starlit nights the snow crystals give out a shimmering glow. ‘The tropical blue sea has a charm which the green of the south Atlantic lacks entirely—Frank Wilbert Stokes, in the Century. The Sultan’s Double. A story was told in Constantinople twenty years ago, and was told me again the last time I saw Sultan Abul ul Hamid, that his majesty has a fos- ter brother who so resembles him in features as to be able to stand for him at state functions, the guests never perceiving the substitution. It may be that this story is the Oriental method of expressing the belief in the combin- ation of two characters in one body, which we had supposed to be the con- ception of a Western novelist alone.— World’s Work. Reads Like a Miracle. Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.—The Butler case still continues to be the talk of the town. Mr.G.L. Butler, the father of the little boy, says: “The doctor said my boy had disease of the spinal cofa, and treated him for two months, during which he got worse all the time. Finally the doctor told me he did not know what was the trouble. The boy would wake up dur- ing the night and say that he was dying. He would be nervous and yen- bling, and would want to run from the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. After we had tried everything else, I read an adver- tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a) eure for Nervous Troubles. I pur-! chased some and used them until he | bad taken altogether eight boxes when he was sound and well with not a sin- gle symptcm of the old trouble. This was some months ago, and I feel sure that ke is permanently cured. We owe to Dodd’s Kidney Pills all the credit | for his restoration to good health.” Lots of men have so much genius) that they are unable to do anything but sit in the shade and think about it.

Mr. Dennis says that perhaps the chief sources from which misinforma- tion is drawn are the world’s bourses. Stories concocted for the deliberate purpose of raising or lowering the price of stocks afte rather common. Some of them find credence for sev- eral days before their cleverly woven meshes of falsehood are torn asunder. A rumor that this or that monarch has been killed, or that war is threatened between two great nations, usually serves to shock the sensitive money centers sufficiently to give stock gam- blers a chance to make a profit. There have been venal correspondents who, for a price, have sent false reports. Their number in this country, let us hope, is small. Discovery of their of- fense would mean their dismissal, in ‘any case. Still, not a few partisan newspapers in political campaigns mis- represent the situation in the hope ot benefiting their cause, though when such misrepresentation occurs blind- ness to the facts rather than intention- al falsehood usually is to blame.— World To-day. “JUST RUN ACROSS’” Some People Are Lucky. Some people make an intelligent study of food and get on the right track (pure food), others are lucky enough to stumble upon the right way out of the difficulty just as a Phila. young woman did. She says: “I had suffered terribly from nervous indigestion, everything seemed to disagree with me and I was on the point of starvation when one day I happened to run across a demon- stration of Postum Food Coffee at one of the big stores here. “J took a sample home and a sample of Grape-Nuts as well and there tried them again and found they agreed with me perfectly. For months I made them my main diet and as the result I am restored to my former per- fect health and can eat everything I want to. “When I spoke to my physician about Grape-Nuts, he said, ‘It is a most excellent food.’” Name given by Pos- tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason. Look for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in every package of both Postum and Grape Nuts. | firmation over fif | that it will go to Herbert Spence A POPULAR AUTHOR. Jones Lie, Norway’s Popular Novelist, Celebrated His Seventieth Birthday Nov. 6, Jones Lie, Norway’s popular novel- ist, celebrated his seventieth birthday on Noy. 6. He now lives in a serene and comfortable old age, but met with many hardships in his younger days. Intended for the navy, he was rejected because of his eyes. Then he read law and practiced for several years with varying success. Later he was a slruggling journalist in Christiania. Not until 1865, when thirty-two years ‘of age, did Jones Lie find his place. His first novel, “Den Fremsynte,” es- tablished him at once in the favor of the public, and each succeeding work has been a success. One of the remarkable features ot Jonas Lie’s genius is his ability al- ways to be modern. Although he has now lived his allotted three score years and ten, his writings never grow old. The manuscript of his last work, “Ulvungerne,” has been sent to the publishers and the book will appear about Dec. 8. Mr. and Mrs. Lie have lived for some time in Paris and there was quite a holiday in the house Nov. 6, when hun- dreds of telegrams, bouquets and pres- ents arrived. Among the presents was a gold watch from bis children, and it was the second one he has owned. But he has constantly carried his old silver watch, wh he received at con- ve years ago. UNITE THREE KINGDOMS. | Federation of Sweden, Norway and Denmark Is Suggested. A Helsingborg (Sweden) newspaper | jhas suggested a federation of all the Scandinavian kingdoms, Sweden, Nor- ‘way and Denmark. It is not intended that any material | change be made in the present form of governments, but merely that the coun- | tries enter into a higher union for the | purpose of preventing the absorption by the larger powers of Europe. Each country is to be governed by a king and a parliament elected by the people, but-there will also be a union con- gress, the oldest king to be at the head of the united kingdoms. Such a plan, the paper states ,is not less remark. able than that which created the G man empire from a number of small | states. | It would have the advantage of solv- ing the Norwegian question, in that it contemplates the making of Norway an | independent kingdom, with Prince Carl of Sweden, married to Princess Yngozerg of Denmark, as king. NOBEL’S PRIZES. Some Mor: Guesses on the Fortunate | Winners. | There is still nothing certain regard- | ing the winners of the Nobel prizes. | Marconi may not receive the prize inj physics. Mr. and Mrs. Currie, for | their ¢ overies regarding radium, | may divide the prize with Prof. Leon- | ard, who prepared the way for Roent- gen’s rays. It is also reported that | neither Bjornstjerne nor Henrik Ibsen | will receive the prize in literature, but | or | Echegary, the Spanish author. All | agree, however, that Prof. Arrhenius of Sweden will be awarded the prize | for chemistry, and Dr. Finsen of Co- penhagen the prize for medicine, | though he may divide it with Prof. | Pawlow of Prague. Algernon Swine- | burne and George Brandes are unani- | mously supported for the literary prize’! by their respective countries, but | Count Wirsen wil] not vote for either. ; ( HARDENING SEED. | | Norwegian Experimen’ to Develop | New Varieties. Peter Hallstrom, chief of the Royal | Biological institute, Lulea, Sweden, has | discovered a process for hardening oats, barley and other grain, so as te | make it suitable for seed in Norrland’s | soii. This has been done because ¢: periments with Canadian and other | foreign grain have been unsuccessful. | ‘The process requires five io six years | to harden both seed corn, anf ‘growth | by gradually colder soil and atmo-/ sphere. The first year’s seeding takes | place in a grecnhouse, whose tempera- | ture is kept at the lowest point possi- | ble. Later the experiments continue in cold soil. The government is defra: ing the expense of the experiments. { | asked the price of collars that were More Finnish Outrages. A. Hallonblad, formerly mayor of | Sordavala, Finland, from which posi- tion he was removed by the Russian government, was recently called to Wi- | borg, where he was promptly arrested | and sent to Russia. He was not al- | lowed to arrange his affairs nor to communicate with his family or friends. No reason for his arrest was given, and even his destination was kept secret. Counts Gustaf and Karl Creutz, Fin- nish land owners, but citizens of Swed- en, have been banished from Finland. Quaint Old Vernamo. i Vernamo is a quaint old Sweden which observes a holiday all its own. It is “friveckolordagen” (Free Saturday), the last Saturday in October. And it lives up to its name. Not a stroke of work is done by any one, and everybody is on the streets for a carnival of fun. Twenty years ago fights between jealous swains kept the police busy, but there were none this year, as the lovers modestly kept their jovemaking for less public places than the streets. In Far Northland. | the town inj” Norway Must Exhibit. Although the. new Norwegian min- istry is very lukewarm in the matter of making an appropriation for a Nor- wegian display at St. Louis next sum- mer, the press is very urgent that a liberal sum be set aside and that en- ergetic action be taken. The govern- ment is of the opinion that the time is too short, and maintains that the for- mer storthing should have taken the initiative. It is urged in the press that Norway can hardly afford to be the only civilized country to be unrep- resented at the big exposition. Nor- way owes it to thousands of her chil- dren in America, who have done so much for their mother country, to make a suitable display. i Amundsen Is Safe. Letters from Capt. Amundsen and other members of the Gjoa expedition dated at Goothavn, Greenland, July 30, have been received. The magnetic ob- servations for the verification of the instruments had been successfully completed. Capt. Amundsen was plan- ning to proceed through Lancaster sound and go.in winter quarters on Beechy island. Disasters on the Sea- The Norwegian bark Capella, en route from Arendal, Norway, to Table Bay, South Africa, Nov. 24, went un- der near Borbjerg, Jutland. The ves- se] and a crew of fifteen men were lost. The Norwegian steamer Victoria was wrecked Noy. 24, just outside Stavanger harbor. Five corpses were washed ashore. New Railway Opened. The Hgersund-Flekkefjord railway was opened with the usual ceremonies on Nov. 6. It is only about fifty miles long. but has forty-six tunnels. In fact 12 per cent of the line is under the mountains. The construction, which began seven years ago, was be- set with many difficulties. The scen- ery is very picturesque and the line should attract much tourist travel. Nobles Are Salvationists. Most distinguished names appear on the rolls of the Salvation Army in Denmark. Highest of all stands Prin- cess Marie. Then comes Count Trampe and next Baron Joseph Plessen, fol- lowed by a number of high officials. All are extremely loyal to the Army and observe the week of self-denial. Debts of Sweden and Norway. In Sweden the annual expenses of overnment amount to 33.4 kroner apita, but in Norway the average 42.8 kroner. The national debt of weden averages 67 kroner, but in Norway the share is 114 kroner for each person. In Norway the debt ex- ceeds the value of the government property, including the railways. Nordenskjold Found. All the members of the Nordensk- jold Antarctic expedition have been landed at Buenos Ayres by the Argen- | tine warship Uruguay, which found the men on Louis Philippe and Seymour island. A Royal Dairyman. Christian TV. (1588-1658) was Den- march’s first great dairyman. He es- | tablished a dairy at Copenhagen with 400 cows and sold large quantities of butter. Many improvements in butter- making were made and he appears to have paved the way for Denmark’s su- premacy as a dairy country. Swedes Will Fly Aiso. C. Nyberg says that he has solved the problem of aerial navigation. At | any rate he has made a long and care- | ful study of the problem assisted by many Swedish scientists. All the parts of his machine have been finished and | the first experimental flight will be made in a few weeks. Buy Norwegian Falls. Gjemso Kloster water falls, power siation and real estate on Kloster sland, Skein, Norway, has been sold to Director Hjorth of Christiania for 800,000 kroner. Mr. Hjorth, however, merely represents a foreign syndicate which will operate the works. tRISH SHREWDNESS. How the trishwoman Wished to Make the Purchase. She was a good-natured, happy-look- ing Irishwoman that walked into a Germantown store a few days ago and displayed in the window. The clerk re- plied that they were two for a quar ter. The woman then asked. would that be for one?” “Thirteen cents,” answered clerk, quickly. The old woman pondered, and then, with her finger figured on the sleeve of her coat a little longer. After hes effort she demanded: “That would make the other collar 12 cints, wouldn't it? Just give me How much the | that one.”—Public Ledger. A Long Strain. Sir Thomas Lipton, just before he sailed for home, was telling some friends about his visit to a court room in Ireland, during the progress of a trial. The prisoner was called to the bar and the judge’said: ‘We will now have read a record of your former crimes and convictions.” “Your worships, if you are really go- ing to do that, I'd be very grateful it ; you'd permit me to sit down”—New | York Times NO HURRY. An Immortal Being Had Plenty of ‘ Time to Squander. Joaquin Miller, the “Poet of the Si- erras,” recently visited a friend in Bos- | | ton. This friend, whose literary tastes ran largely to Emerson, Browning and Materlinck, found the venerable poet in the library one afternoon deeply ab- sorbed in a book. a “What are you reading?” asked the Bostonian. “A novel by Bret Harte,” replied the poet. , The Hubbite sniffed. “I cannot see,” said he, “how an immortal being can waste his time with such stuff.” “Are you quite sure,” asked Miller, “that Iam an immortal being?” “Why, of course you are,” was the unwary reply. “In that case,” said the Californian grimly, “I don’t see why I should be 80 very economical of my time.”—Lip- pincott’s Magazine. Had the Marks. The father of a Kensington school- poy does not feel satisfied with the progress his son is making in the pub- lic school which he is attending. The other evening he said to his wife, “Why is it that Johnnie never brings home any good marks from school?” “He does,” promptly answered the fond mother. “But I never see them.” “They're not where you can,” came the quick reply.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Startled the Cashier. Stranger—Are the waiters here at- tentive to you? Pretty Cashier—Sir-r-r. Stranger—Oh, no offense, I assure you. I was only carrying out the in- structions as printed on the bill of fare, which says: “Please report any inattention of waiters to cashier.” And I thought if they are inattentive to you I would report them—that’s all — Baltimore American. Don’t aspire to the limit of dignity, or some near-sighted person may mis- take you for a butler. THANK PE-RU-NA FOR THEIR RECOVERY AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING, Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says * “I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the.sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tel) what Peruna has done for me. ** 1 suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In am ee I called on an old nurse, who pa me to try Peruna, and promised good re- sults if I would persist and take it reg- ularly. I thought this was the least 3 could do and procured a bottle, I knew as soon as I began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything I had used before, and so I kept on tak- ingit. Ikept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fii bottles E considered myself entirely cured. Tam a grateful, happy woman to-day.’ Miss Muriel Armitage. Peruna cures \catarth of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head. Peruna has be- come renowned as a positive cure for female ailments simply because the ail- ments are mostly due tocatarrh, Ca tarrh is the cause of the trouble, Pernna cures the catarrh, The symp- toms disappear. Female Weakness is Pelvic Catarrh. | Always Half Sick are the Women Who Have Pelvic Catarrh. Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to pro- gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh | without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand. What is so distressing a sight as a poor half-sick, mervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic catarrh? She does not consider her- | self ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very com- mon sight and is almost always due to pel- vic catarrh. It is worse tham foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with a dis- ease that can be permanently cured. Peruna cures catarrh permanenily. It cures old chronic cases as well as a’ slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure. If you do not derive prompt and satisfac- tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr, Hartman, giving:a frll state~ ment of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
