How to Keep House. ~ With all the luxuries and pleasures of this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller comforts, there is an offset or antithesis which we have to contend with in the form of aches and pains, In some way and by some means every one has a touch of them in some form at some time. Trifling as some of them may be, the risk is that they will grow to something greater and rack the system with con- stant torture. There is nothing, there- fore, of this kind that we have a right to trifle with. Taken in time, the worst forms of pains and aches are easily subdued and cured by the free use of St. Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household ought to be with- out a bottle of this great remedy for pain. It is the specific virtue of pene- tration in St. Jacobs Oil that carries it right to the pain spot and effects a prompt cure even in the most painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lum- bago, Sciatica. You want it also in the house at all times for hurts, cuts and wounds, and the house that al- ways has it keeps up a sort of ifsur- ence against pain. His Only Chance. “Isn’t it ridiculous,” remarked Sin- nick, “how some fellows get the habit of talking to themselves?” “Oh, I don’t know; that habit might éo you some good,” replied Minnick. “You’q stand a chance of hearing something good about yourself occa sionally.”—Philadelphia Press.

I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medi- cine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared, and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. *‘My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have done me.”— Sincerely yours, Miss MARGARET MERELEY, 275 ird St., Milwaukee, Wis.—; forfeit If original of above letter proving gonuinaseedcannet vepreguced. el ‘The LANKFORD HUMANE i/ It is cotton-filled, anti-chafing; it will positively cure and prevent galls and sore shoulders and do away with pads.

Believed by Associates to Have Been a Russian Spy. People who knew Matthias von Schultz in New York and Chicago dur- ing the past two years now suspect that he was a Russian spy, and was in this country to watch the move- ments of the Poles, Finns, Ruthenians and Russian Jews. Von Schultz had been a district judge in Sweden, but later went to Paris as correspondent for Stockholm’s Dagblad and Novoe Vremja. While he was sick in a hospital at Stockholm he received a letter in ci- pher from Russia, and also the sum of 750 roubles. In the early part of 1891 von Schultz came to New York and stayed nearly two months. He entertained royally and was royally entertained by the Swedes.- English he spoke as a na- tive, and the East side of Manhattan was fully known to him. One day a party was made up and a policeman by the name of Nelson was engaged so that the party and its guest, the judge, could see the East side with impunity. Mr. von Schultz did not show up, but later it was found out that he was not in need of a guide. He was more familiar with the Ghetto than most New Yorkers. His friends could never get any information about him, but once in a while, when in his cups, he would say a few words which would set his entertainers to ponder- ing. He seemed to be very well ac- quainted with Col. Esterhazy of Drey- fus fame. All of a sudden he disap- peared. A few of his friends who had eecasion to go to Chicago to attend a silver wedding there found the run- away, who told them that he was on his way to Japan. SWEDES ASK WIDER SUFFRAGE. Demonstrations by Working Men at Easter Time. Demonstrations in favor of univer- sal suffrage were held by the working- men in all the cities of Sweden in the Easter vacations. There were no dis- turbances, but the meetings were well attended, an dstrong resoluions were adopted everywhere. Over 10,000 peo- ple were in the Stockholm parade, 3,000 turned out in Gothenburg, 3,000 in Gefie, 2,000 in Norrkoping, 3,000 in Karlstad, 3,000 in Malmo, 5,000 in Ore- bro 3,000 in Helsingborg, and from 500 to 1,500 in about twenty-five other places. The workingmen declare that they are no w‘“of age” and entitled to all the rights of a free people. They say the privileged ‘classes are opposed to the country’s progress and are un- worthy of an enlightened country; the backbone, the brawn, the sinew of Sweden in peace and war has been steadfastiv ignored and insulted; ad- ditional burdens piled on year after year until the masses have- lost pa- tience and hope; no reforms are forth- coming, and all demands are answered with Speclaps promises which are nev- er fulfilled? The various resolutions demanded the passage of a complete suffrage law and not the complicated measures which in reality grant hardly any con- cessions, but which the riksdag seems to think will answer the purpose. In the Stockholm resolutions it was stated that the people were ready to support their dem 1ds with deeds, and like language was used at other places, REBUILDING AALESUND. Controversies Over Fire Limits “and Relief Fund Distribution. About 400 temporary frame build- ings have been erected in Aalesund at a cost .of about 300,000 kroner. The most pretentious buildings are the Scandinavie and Schjelderup hotels and the administration building, where the officials have quarters. It is about time to begin work on permanent buildings, but no regulations have been agreed upon. Most of the land owners are reconciled to the fact that only stone and brick shall be used within a certain district, but the limits are not yet determined. The fisheries and canneries are prov- ing very obstinate and are fighting the proposition that there warehouses must be of stone or brick. There will be very little protection to the city if a row of big frame warehouses is built along both sides of the harbor, and it is a certainty that insurance rates will be extremely high. The proposition to distribute one- half of the relief fund pro rata among the inhabitants of Aalesund is opposed by the department of justice, which maintains that the donors undoubtedly intended that the money should go to the most needy and had no intention of making any gifts to those who were amply protected by insurance. The Amtmand is not convinced and argues in favor of a pro-rata division. c “Ask and It Shall Be Given.” Filip Abrahamson, a trustful little lad of nine years living at Hallarodjan near Jonkoping, wrote to King Oscar that he needed a pair of shoes, but was too poor to buy, wherefore he hgped that the king would be kind enough to send him 10 kroner.! The king made inquiries through the parish priest and found that the boy was poor, but a most promising lad. Not long after- ward Filip received 10 kroner, accom- panied by a -kroner note from a gentle- “gan who had heard the story. . TO STUDY FOLKLORE. The Norwegians Organize a New Na- tional Society. The Norwegfiian Folklore and Dia- leet society has been formed at Chris- tiania for the study of the life and tra- ditions of the Norwegian people and investigating the various dialects. It is in reality a reorganization of a simié lar one formed in Christiania in 1881, but which, owing to lack of support, enjoyed only a brief existence. In the meantime interest in the dialects has grown, and the new organization starts under more favorable auspices. Among its active members are such well- known scholars as Sophus Bugge, Jo- han Storm, Moltke Moe, A. Taranger, Marius Haegstad and A. B. Larsen, be- sides a number of younger scholars. Three issues of its official publication, Norvegia, edited by Larsen and Haeg: stad, have appeared. The etymology: of the word Norway is discussed by! Mr. Haegstad in an exhaustive article, in which he traces the form of the word from its earliest occurrence down to the present. The phonology of one of the most archaic of Norwegian dia- lects, that of Selbyg, is treated by his colleague. Not a Legal Tie. The simplest and most modern mar- riage ceremony yet known was prob- ably that of Heinrich Lauer and Mrs. Augusta Gronwall at Copenhagen re- cently. The only ceremony was the publicatin in “Politiken” of the follow- ing advertisement: This is to notify that we, the under- signed, have contracted an alliance of friendship and matrimony in free form. without church and without the regis- trar: For those of our friends who esteem and respect us this, our self- willed aecision, will suffice. We are convinced that our matrimonial bliss is based, not upon legal force, but upon mutual love and :esteem. We gladly resign further acquaintance with those who cannot discover personal value outside the law. World’s Greatest Actor. Bjornstjerne Bjornson in a letter written at Rome to friends in Norway declares that a young Sicilian, Grasso by name, is the greatest actor in the world. He is an artisan in Catania, but controls every human passion in such a realistic manner that the au- diences weep, shudder.and laugh ‘with him. He goes occasionally to Rome, but refuses to make tours. Emigration Raises Wages. One result of:the emigration from Sweden is to raise the wages of those who remain. In Kristianstad county farm laborers, who a fe wyears ago were paid only 150 and 200 kroner a year, now receive 350 kroner and up- ward. Boys of 15 no wobtain as much as a full-grown man did a few years ago, and the wages of house servants has doubled in a short time. An Arctic Sanatorium. A sanatorium for consumptives has been erected far up in Lapland at Vas- sagauve, where the only inhabitants are a few nomad Lapps. The country is high and picturesque, but so thinly settled that there is not a station for 124 miles. It is proposed to establish a scientific station at this point. Will Make Zinc. Dr. de Laval will establish a plant for extracting zinc from Swedish and Norwegian ores at Sannesuno, Nor- way, a short distance below Sarpsborg. The plant will require about 4,000 horse power, which will be derived from the fals at Sarpsborg, Norway’s greatest water power. New Riksdag House. The new houses of parliament in Stockholm are nearing completion and it is possible that the next regular sit- ting of the riksdag will be in the pala- tial new building on the Helgeands- holm. The large chambers are hand- somely decorated and the acoustics are perfect. Each member will have his own desk. One More Unfortunate. “Well, Smike,” said the blind man to the beggar, “how’s the world using you?” “Rotten,” said Smike. “With a brand-new hard luck story, warranted to bring tears to the eyes of a rhinoc- eros, all I took in last week was 67 shares of United States Steel common and a pound of the certificates of the Shipbuilding trust. There ain’t nothin’ in beggin’ these days.”—Town Topics. Her Opportunity. Nell—Miss Speitz has been talking about you again. Belle—Yes, I was delighted to meet her at a bargain sale this morning. Nell—I shouldn't think you'd be pleased to meet her at any time. Belle—I was thistime. During the crush I found a chance to give her a few good pokes on my own account.— Philadelphia Public Ledger.

He has no finer sentiments whatever.” “No?” ‘ “Not one. Why; I can ery for hours without getting a cent out of him.”— If that isn’t genuine, Manure Does Benefit Lané. A good deal of comment has been caused by the publication by the de- partment of agriculture of the United States of bulletin 22, in which the authors claimed that poor soils were @s good crop yielders as good soils, Provided both were in the same me chanical condition. This was regard- ed everywhere as a most astonishing statement, as it was equivalent to Saying that all kinds of manure bene- fit soil only by improving it mechan- ically. A few people, however, al- Ways ready to follow any new doc- trine, at once took up with this new idea, But our best agriculturists have been all the time certain that fertil- izers do add to the amount of avail- able plant food in the-soil. It was the contention of the authors of the bul- letin in question that natural agen- cies are all the time at work in the soil liberating new quantities of plant food, and that the amount of plant food so liberated is as great in poor soil as in good. They claimed to have found this out by actual analyses of the plant food available in ifferent soils, It is evident ‘that something is wrong with their soil analyses. One of the greatest soil physicists in the United States is Professor F. H. King. During 1903 Professor King carried on Some experiments to determine the points at issue in the bulletin. He carried on the same tests on three types of soil of low productive capac- ity and three types of soil of high productive capacity. He determined the plant food soluble in water once each week during the entire season in soil from each field. He also grew crops on each of the six fields. The amo™~: of available plant food in the good soils was found to be about two and a half times as great in the good soils as in the poor soils, on the average of all tests throughout the season. The crops grown responded in like measure. The good soils yielded crops twyu and a half times larger than did the poor soils. When these crops were analyzed they were found to contain about two and a half times as mich plant food as did the crops grown on the poor soils. It will thus be seen that there is a difference in the amount of plant food in different soils, and that the most productive soils are those well- manured and containing much avail- able plant food. It is not true that there is as much available plant food in solution in the water of one soil as of another. « ies Irrigation in Humid Climates. We have usually ceusidered till very recent years that it paid to irri- gate land only in those countries in which the rainfall was insufficient to supply the crops with the needed moisture. But it is being learned that irrigation pays even in lands where the rainfall is sufficient in most years. Illinois has an annual precipitation of about 35 inches and Italy an annual precipitation of about 40 inches. Few farmers in Illinois would think it profitable’ to irrigate, yet in Italy many thousands of farmers are irri- gating and consider it money well spent, as a crop insurance. The lead- ing crops in the irrigated 1egions are corn, wheat and oats. Mulberry trees are also irrigated, and the irrigation increases the yield of the mulberry leaves about one-third. The farmers there declare that irrigation enables them to grow a crop of corn after the wheat, and to increase the yield of alfalfa and clover 100 per cent. Most of the irrigation work there is organized on the co-operative basis. The largest of these co-operative as- sociations has 14,000 members and controls the irrigation of 123,500 acres of land. The system under the con- trol of this association comprises 7,000 miles of canals and ditches. The main society is divided into 40 sub- ordinate societies, each of which elects a member to a general assem- bly, which directs the policy of the association. The farmers there pay about $6 per year for the watering of each acre. Under such a condition, a crop failure is impossible. Grass. Grass is the great fundamental crop, Without the aid of man (and pre- vious to his intervention) it covers the habitable earth everywhere with its mantle of green and fills the soi) with a thick, fibrous growth of. roots, and not only protects the land from the ravages of wind and water, but becomes also the primary source of food for a large part of the anima) creation, says A. M. Ten Eyck. Ac- cording to the government reports, corn holds the first place as the great- est wealth-producing crop of this coun- try, while grass takes second rank. It is safe to say, however, that the re- verse is the actual fact. The reports fail to take into account the great wealth produced from grass as a pas- ture and its great value as a soil-pro- tector and a soil-renewer, and its pow- er to increase the yield of other crops when used in rotation. Although the native grasses grow without the aid of man, yet it is only when certain do- mesticated species are cultivated that the greatest production of hay and pasture is secured. Wheat is a good feed for hens, but it is often cheaper to buy clear wheat at a fair price than wheat screenings at a low price. A Suitable Hint. “It’s curious, mighty curious,” ob- served Mr. Slypurr, as he picked up his overcoat, “how some lucky fellows get a reputation without half trying. Look at Job, for instance ,as a syno- nym for patience.” “Why, wasn’t he tried to the limit of endurance?” cried the shocked Mrs. Slypurr. “Not much,” replied Mr. Slypurr, calmly. “At least there’s no record of his having to struggle with a torn sleeve lining in his overceat all win- ter.”—Harper’s Bazar.
