No woman ever having written her, and helped thousands, WHY IS STRINDBERG UNKNOWN? The Famous Swedish Writer Has No | Vogue in America. Scandinavian literature of the pres- ent day reaches. its highest expression in the works of three men, whose names carry nearly equal weight only with the critics, but with the mass of readers and theatergoers, says Edwin Bjorkman in the New York Post. They are the Norwegians Ibsen and Bjornson, aud August Strindberg, a Swede. In this country Ibsen appears grad- ually to be coming to his own, and Bjornson has been made familiar to the public through his early peasant stories, but Strindberg does not pos- sess even an esoteric reputation. And yet it should seem that the mere pro- lifieness and versatility of this play- wright, novelist, essayist, critic, his- torian and amateur stientist should compel our students of foreign liter- atures to take cognizance of him. No authentic bibliography of Strond- berg exists. He must have to his cred- it more than sixty volumes by this time, or up to the end of his fifty- fourth year.g But no work of his, dra- matic or novelistic, has ever been printed or played in English in this country, so far as I am aware. The only reason I can imagine for this indifference to a man who is so widely known and admired on the oth- er side of the Atlantic must be sought in certain blemishes which taint, to a greater or less degree, some of his works—but certainly not all of them— and which even Strindberg’s warmest admirers cannot disergard entirely. Judging him by European standards, and leaving aside the supposedly prej- udiced American point of view, one must still admit that the Swedish writ- er time and again touches on subjects, introduces incidents and employs ex- pressions which are incompatible with all modern ideas af literary propriety —or of poetical license. I wonder if he ever wrote anything that surpasses “Miss Juliet,” his most famous one- act play, either in intensity of dramat- ic power or in keenness of psycholog- ical ananlysis? Yet that play could under no circumstances be brought forward on an American stage. The plot itself is merely gruesome, but the incidents used to develop it are re- volting, and the realism of the dia- logue borders at times on filthiness. FINSEN USES PRIZE MONEY. Endows Finsen Institute With Nobel Z Prize Fund. ji Immediately on receiving the Nobel prize of $40,000, Dr. Nils F. Finsen transferred one-fourth of it to the Fin- sen institute at Copenhagen. Director Cc. A. Hagemann and Councillor Jur- gensen. thereupon made the institute gifts of similar sums, bringing a whole windfall of good fortune. As the insti- tution is young and not yet self-sup- porting, the gifts will enable it to ob- tain a firmer footing and to increase its field of usefulness. Later Dr. Finsen gave 60,000 kroner to the sanatorium for chrohic heart and liver diseases at Copenhagen. Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen is now forty-three years of age. He was born at Thorshavn, Faroe islands. He grad- uated from the medical department of the University of Denmark in 1892. He has keen more a student and sci- entist than a physician. His chief service to the world was his discover- ies following his study of the effect of light and especially the actinic and non-heating rays of light. In 1895 he treated the first case of lupus accord- ing to his theories. This and other cases were so successfully treated that an institute was opened. In the first five years 600 lupus cases were treat- ed, the great majority being cured or materially improved. His success at- tracted the attention of the medical world, and within five years there were seventeen Finsen light cure hospitais outside of Denmark. Norway's First Operator. Chr. Wiger, telegraph inspector in Norway, celebrated his golden jubilee as a telegrapher recently. He was the first operator in Norway, and has a great many amusing incidents which he recalls to his friends. Once he was visited by three storthings men who wanted to know all about telegraph- ing. Wiger explained the process of | telegraphing and the theory of elec- tric power, at which the three men be- came highly offended. To let himself out, he then stated that he was obliged to say something to all the people who came there, but as a mat ter of fact the instrument workefl en- tirely different. Raising the key, he showed a small chamber in the appa- artus. Here, he explained, the tele gram was placed, and by pressing on the buttons it was sent along the tele- graph line. ; “Well, why didn’t you say that in the first place?” said the men, com- pletely satisfied. “Fool the common people, but don’t try it on storthings men.” Soldiers Cost Money. The state treasury of Sweden is not only empty but has a deficit of 2,000,- 000 kroner to contend with. In spite of the increased taxes on beer and liquors, it will take 9.000.000 kroner in taxes to keep goin gnext year. The government is charged with extrava- gance, and in the hope of making Sweden a military power is pouring vast quantities of money into the army THE OLD SWEDES’ CHURCH. An Interesting Relic in Pennsylvania May Be Abandoned. There is some talk of abandoning the old Swedes’ church at Upper Mer- ion, Pa., which has been in constant use since 1760. It is feared that the holding of advent services in St. An- drew’s hall, Bridgeport, by the mem- bers of Christ (Old Swedes’) church) and the movemeit toward the erection of a chapel in that borough may end in the partial abandonment of the his- toric old church, a half mile below the’ town. This church, once the center of a large rural Episcopal congregation, is now being gradually isolated by the construction of railways and the open- ing of quarries in that vicinity. It is a handsome, plain stone Gothic edifice, built in the form of a cross,, with a square tower 50 feet high. The congregation was organized in 1730 and the church built in 1760. In the graveyard there is a tombstone bear- ing date of 1745, showing that the place must have beer, used a long time before the erection of the church. A Strange Meeting. -An unexpected and unsuual meeting of two brothers took place on the high seas outside of Homborg sund. In the darkness of the night and storm the Swedish bark Idun, Captain Bengtsen, and the Swedish schooner Familien, Captain Bengtsen, hit each other. The captains were brothers and had not seen each other for many years. The men recognized each other, but were too busy to improve the chance meet- ing. The idun sank after a time, the captain losing his life in some unex- plained way, for the other members of the erew had no difficulty whatever in reaching the other vessel. Make Iron in Norway. Norwegians want a big smelter at Narvik, whence a million tons of iron ore are shipped away every’ year. It is argued that it would be more eco- nomical to ship the coal to Narvik than to ship the ore to England or Ger- many. That Nordland is the richest part of Norway, if properly developed, is recognized. But a complete smelt- ing plant will cost 3,000,000 kroner, and it is a large sum. Finnish Skald Is Dead. Emil von Qvanten, the Finnish poet and writer, died on Dec. 12 at San Roemo, Italy, where he had lived for several years. He was born at Bjorne- berg, Aug. 22, 1827, and was of an old and noble military family. Although trained for the army, he later turned to literature and was librarian to Car! XV. His best known poem, “Suomi Sang,” is unusually beautiful and high- ly patriotic. A Queer Religion. Burtrask parish, in Vesterbotten, Sweden, has a peculiar religious sect knowu as the Andersonites. They hold that abstinence is contrary to the teachings of the Bible, and attack the Good Templars as a secret society giv- en to immoral practices. They are hard drinkers and consider it no wrong to violate the game laws and to steal timber from the crown forests. A Timely Museum. A museum devoted solely to clocks and wattches is to be established in Stockholm. The main purpose will be to show the development of watch and clockmaking from the most primitive of timepieces to the wonderful modern chronometers, but all sorts of rare and interesting articles connected with the trade will be collected and displayed. A Chance for Horst. The Nobel committee in. Norway has appropriated 2,000 kroner to aid Rek- tor Horst in studying the movement for international peace while abroad. Dr. Horst will spend some time in Paris, Brussels and Berne, but is not sure that he can undertake the work suggested by the Nobel committee, al- though he will study the question. Lie’s Successful Novel. Jonas Lie’s “last work, “Ulfoun- gerne,” is praised by the critics. Though Lie is now seventy years old, he tells in his last work an interesting story of human despotism and vanity in a lively, graphic style, and with all the ee observance of his earlier years. Svante Arrhenius. Prof. Svante Arrhenius, the noted Swedish chemist, looks more like a well-fed grocer than a scientist. He is a sociable, amiable fellow, and is fond of lively company. He was awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry for his electro-chemical theory, which Upsola would not look at ten years ago, but which is now generally accepted by scientists. ‘The transportation of fron ore over Ofoten railway has exceeded all ex- peciations, 000 tons for 1903, but up to Dec. 1 there had been shipped 857,867 tons. The Norrland mines will continue to yield immense quantities of high-grade ore for many years. Rev.

Witness in a land suit at the age of 110 years, Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest remedy of the age for catarrhal diseases. SAAC BROCK, a citizen of McLennan county, Texas, has lived for 115 years. For many years he resided at Rosque Falls, eighteen miles west of Waco, but now lives with his son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas. A short time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco, and sat for his pic- ture. In his hand he held a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jack- son, Which has been carried by him ever since. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gen- tleman, showing few signs of decrepi- tude. His family Bible is still preserved, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 115 years ago. Surely a few words from this remarka- ble old gentleman, who has had 115 years of experience to draw from, would be interesting as well as profitable. <A lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still more pretentious biography of this, the oldest living man, illustrated with a double column portrait, was given the readers of the alls Morning News, dated December 11, 1898, and also the Chicago 'Times-Herald of same date. This centenarian is an ardent friend of Peruna, having used it many years. In speaking of his good health and ex- treme old age, Mr. Brock says: “After a man has lived in the world as long as I bayer he quens be have foand out a great man S, experience.

For 115 years I have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. “I have always been a very healthy man, but of course subject to the little affections which are due to sudden changes in the climate and temperature. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colis and diarrhoea. “As for Dr. Hartman’s remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem- edy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good healthand extreme old age to this remedy. “Tt exactly meets all my requirements. It protects me from the evil effects of sudden changes; it keeps me in goed appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation.

At first I did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for la grippe and found it to be just the thing.”’ In_a later letter dated January 31, 1963, Mr. Brock writes: “I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all over the farm and it would do me good.

Years afterward the man who re fused the anesthetic and called for his violin, which he played without missing a note while the surgeons were sawing his leg off, was speaking of the incident to a friend. “I got a good deal of a reputation for bravery out of the affair,” he said. “The papers all played me up as a hero, but I wasn’t anything of the sort. I was afraid of chloroform, and at first I thought I’d keep the leg and take the chances. Then, all at once, I thought of my fiddle. You never heard me play the fiddle, did you?” “No, I never did.” “Well, that made the surgical oper- ation just nothing at all.
