Took Examination to C-t a Marriage 4 License, During the excitement of a physical examination of candidates for places on the police force yesterday in the ity hall, a mild-mannered man wan-| dered into the room and somehow got mixed up with the aspirants for places on the force. He was instructed to re- move his clothes partly, and in a few minutes was hard at work with the other men in the room, raising dumb- bells, inflating his chest, and undergo- ing a general physical examination. “Run around the room, he was com- manded, and, on a trot, he made the circuit of the room a dozen times. Almost out of breath, he stopped then and inquired. “Look a’ here, what else have I got to do to get my license?” “What license?” queried the sur- geon, in surprise. “Why, my marriage license. That’s what I came in for,” was the reply. “Say,” said the surgeon, “you're in the wrong room. I thought you want- ed to be a policeman. The license bu- reau is down _ stairs.”—Philadelphia Record. An Easy Way to Do It. Mineral, Idaho, April 11.—Mr. D. S. Colson of this place has something to say which will be of interest to many men. Mr. Colson claims to have found a simple way to get rid of pains in the back, Sciatica or Rheu- matism. He has cured himself and so claims personal experience in proof of his method. Mr. Colson says:— “] had awful pains in my hip. They got so bad at last that I could hardly walk. I tried several things, but got no relief till I began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and I had taken but a few of these pills till the pain left me entirely. “Dodd’s Kidney Pills certainly did me lots of good and I consider them a great medicine.” The remedy that cured Mr. Colson is the same that has been making such sensational cures of Bright’: Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy and Rheu- matism all over the country.

What fraternities are to American universities, “nations” are to the great Swedish university at Upsala, The whole student body of 1,500 is divided into thirteen “nations,” according to the provinces from which they come. In an article on Upsala in Harper's, Dr. Charles F. Twhing tells an innter- esting story of Upsala as follows: The “nations” of the University of Upsala constitute its most significant characteristic. ' A nation is a body composed of the. students who come from a certain province in Sweden. In origin the term is a geographical distinction. The thirteen nations into which the students are divided corre- spond to thirteen different provinces, and every student of a province is a member of the nation of his province. Each of these bodies owns or leases a house. This is essentially a fraternity of club house. It usually contains a library, reading and writing room, mu- sic room, offices and rooms for the use of committees. The houses are of va- rying sizes and elaborateness, but in general they represent a well-equipped club house of a small city. They re- mind one, of course, of the common room at Oxford or Cambridge, except that the size of a common room is usually multiplied three or fourfold. The members are of two sorts, active and honorary. The active include usu- ally the students, the honorary the teachers of the university, former ac- tive members, and certain ® persons elected. The government of each na- tion is entrusted to a few officers known as “inspectors” and “curators” and other functionaries. It represents a little republic. The general purpose of the organization is intellectual, eth- ical, social. The expense of member- ship is small, the life is simple, the general atmosphere is one of good fel- Jowship, depending more upon person- ality than upon purse. The loyalty of the members of a nation to itself is ‘constant and strong. The flag which each nation flaunts forth upon public ‘occasions means for the eye what a hollege yell of American colleges means for the ear. SHALL DENMARK BE NEUTRAL? St. Petersburg Legal Light Declares for the Plan. The National Tidende of Copenhagen publishes an interview with the pro- fessor of international law at St. Pe- tersburg, M. de Martens, who express- es himself strongly in favor of the for- mal neutralization of Denmark.. Such a declaration would be recognized by many states ,and especially by Russia. Moreover, Denmark would thus estab- lish a legal basis for the intervention of her friends in the event of an attack upon her neutrality. The Vossische Zeitung recalls the fact that the neutralization of Norway and Sweden as well as of Denmark is a long-cherished idea of Prof. de Mar- tens, and that he submitted a mono- graph on the subject to the late Czar Alexander III., who did not, however, manifest any active interest in the matter. Emperor Nicholas, on the other hand, is said to favor the neu- tralization of Dannish territory. In Norway and Sweden, where proposals emanating from Russia are regarded by a suspicion which has only been increased by Russian policy toward Finland, the idea is unlikely to find support so far as Scandinavian terri- tory is concerned. The question is not without a certain importance for Den- mark in present circumstances, espe- cially at a time when the proposed re- form of the system of national defense has found many voices in favor of complete disarmament. A COMMISSIONER ANYWAY. Vice Consul Waage Will Look After Norwegians at St. Louis. Fredrik L. M. Waage, Swedish-Nor- wegian vice consul at St. Louis, has been appointed world’s fair commis- sioner for Norway. While this country will not exhibit officially at St. Louis, several private concerns and persons have decided to take advantage of the opportunity to show their wares. Da- vid Anderson of Christiania will send a fine collection of Norwegian gold- smiths’ work and also transparent enameled jewelry in original designs. Chr. Knag of Bergen will show furni- ture, and the Nordenfjeld museum of Throndhjem has sent a large collection of rugs and other hand-woven fabrics in old Norse design. Deserves a Gold Medal. Jensine Amundsen, maid of all work in the family of Dr.’ Hornemann of Krageroe, appears to be a model serv- ant. She has served in this family continuously since March 13, 1854, and in spite of her seventy-one years does her housework to the satisfaction of the household, and also does consider- able sewing. » Worship in Ancient Church. Dale church at Lyster, Norway, which was built before 1240, has been restored and is now used regularly for services. It is built of stone, the arch- itecture being a mixture of the old English, Roman-and Gothic. Great care was taken to preserve the ancient features, the only liberty taken being to widen two narrow windows on one side. An attempt will be made to clean the walls so as to bring out the old frescoes. Northland. REFUSE NEWSPAPERS. Thirty-three Foreign Papers Barred From Finland. Finland’s press censor has prohib- ited the admission of thirty-three for- eign newspapers into that country on account of articles criticizing the czar and his government. All but ten are Scandinavian papers, the proscribed list containing eighteen Sweedish pa- Meee three Norwegian and two Dan- ish. In the list are the leading papers of Stockholm and Gothenburg; Aften- Posten, Social-Demokraten and Ore- bladet, published in Norway; Politiken i and Social-Demokraten in Denmark; five Finnish papers published in the United States, and Svenska Folkets’ Tidning of Minneapolis. BOUNDARY DISPUTE. Sweden and Norway Resort to Arbitra- tion to Find a Line. Sweden and Norway are having a boundary dispute, and as the two gov- ernments are unable to agree a joint commission is necessary. Crown Prince Gustaf has decided on such a commission, each country to appoint two members and the four thus select- ed to name a fifth. If the four cannot agree, Prince Gustaf will ask a friend- ly power to name the fifth commission- er. The territory in dispute is on the sea from Ide fjord seaward to Grise- borne at the mouth of Christiania fjord. Swedes May Not Vote. It is doubtful whether the Swedish riksdag will come to any conclusion regarding the electoral reforms at its present session. The various groups hold such divergent views, while the agrarians, who are strong, have as yet not united on any of the diff-rent propositions. The Liberal program has seventy pledged votes, not enough for any effective work. The program, if carried, will give some decided re- forms. The ultra-conservatives pro- pose 2 reduction of the second cham- ber to 200 members and other restric- tive features. While this group has no hope of success, it will probably be able to block legislation in other direc- tions. Brother of Ole Bull. Edward Bull, a brother of Ole Bull and one of the oldest burghers of Ber- gen, Norway, celebrated his ninetieth birthday March 19. He has been an active figure in the civic and esthetic life of Bergen. When his brother founded Bergen's National theater in 1851, Edward Bull was made kapel- mester, a position he held. for ten years. His wife, nee Midling, wes an actress at the Bergen theater. Fishermen's Luck. Storms along the Loften coast and up to Fromsoe about March 22 caused great damage to the fishing fleet. Sev- éral vessels were wrecked and a num- ber of lives were lost. Near Eggum and Oxnes two cabins were overwhelm- ed by avalanches and four lives were lost, all women. As the Lofoten fish- eries have not been profitable this sea- son the storm has caused much dis- tress. Scientists Honored. Otto Nordenskjold and J. G. Ander- son will receive the Vega medals for 1904 in recognition of their explora- tions in the Antarctic regions. The academy of science proposes that 55,- 000 kroner be appropriated for the publication of scientific results of the Nordenskjold expedition on the con- dition that scientific collections made by the expedition revert to the state. Swede Spies for Russia. Sweden seems to have found a Rus- | sian spy among one of her own state officials. While the evidence is not conclusive, it was strong enough to cause the man’s removal from the cus- toms house service in which he held his position. He drew a salary of 500 roubles a month for keeping the Rus- sian authorities posted on the move- ments of Finnish exiles. Police Bother Fakirs. Fortune-tellers and clairvoyants are still pursued by the police .of Copen- hagen. A fortune teller named Borch, who had escaped the late raids on the ground that he made no charges, was trapped by a detective’s wife, and, be- ing convicted of swindling, was sen- tenced to five days on bread and water. He said that he had learned his art from a gypsy in America. Veteran in the Storthing. M. A. Aarflot, who had a seat in the Norwegian storthing continuously from 1853 to 1888, died on March 4 at Egeset, Romsdal, at the age of 83. Aarflot was elected to the storthing as soon as he reached the qualified age, and remained, there until the new, regime retired him, after thirty-five years’ service. Opera Singer Gone. Algot Lange, the well-known opera singer, died recently in Paris at the age of 54. He made his debut at Siock- holm in 1878 as Lotharfo in “Migron.” Six years later he went to the Royal theater in Copenhagen, where he re- mained for several years. He was very popular in the Danish capital.as a teacher in voice culture. ——_$_—_—_————_——— The girl who welcomes matrimony as the safety valve from the thralldom of home will make hubby keep pace at ja pretty lively gait. help.’ under the doctor’s ‘A prominent Southern lady, Mrs. Blanchard, of Nashville, Tenn., tells how she was cured of backache, dizziness, pain- ful and irregular periods by the use of Lydia E.
