DANISH DAIRY PLAN HAS PAID. The Co-Operative System Shows Grati- fying Results. Co-operation has proved a decided tuccess in the farming communities of Denmark. Co-operative dairing is di- rectly responsible for an increase in the value of Danish butter exports from $5,000,000 in 1882, the date of the inception of the co-operative move- ment, to over $29,000,000 in 1900. This was brought about largely by marked improvement in quality, which is placed at something like 30 per cent, and without which Danish butter could not have secured its present privileged position. There are now 1,057 co-op- 4 f erative dairies in Denhark supported by some 8,500 cows, or more than % four-fifths ‘of the total number in the kingdom. The Danish co-opeyative ‘ bacon factories last year killed 636,- ; 000 uigs and 10,000 head of cattle, \ and received in the English market 4 cents per pound above the average price of vacon coming from other coun- Largely owing to the system co-operative egg production the value of egg exports from Denmark has risen from $1,947,000 in 1895, when the co-operative egg movement start- ed, to more than $4,380,000 in 1901 Danish eggs now average nearly 4 cents per dozen in London ahead of 4 of other foreign eggs. If little Den- mark had received the same average price in the English market last year for her butter, bacon and eggs as did other foreign countries her farmers would have been $7,166,000 poorer Danish agricultural co-operation also extends largely into buying supplies of all kinds. tries. of SUCCESSOR TO DR. SWENSON. Rev. Ernst Pihiblad Elected president of Bethany College. The Rev. Ernest Pihlblad, acting president of Bethany college, Linds- borg, Kan., has beeu elected president 7 to succeed the late Dr. Carl A. Swen- sop. The new president is only 31 $ years of age and is hence one of the youngest college presidents in the United States. They are not afraid of young men in the Southwest, however, for Dr. Swenson, was a mere boy in years when he took cbarge of the col- lege, but he made it the largest Swed- ish educational! institution in the coun- try. f % The new president was born at Kan- sas City, March 18, 1873. He was a member of the first, graduating class from Rethany college, which went out Nees a — in 1891. He studied theology at_Au- (+ gustana seminary in Rock Island, Il., A k and was ordained a minister in the Swedish Lutheran church in St. Peter. Minn., in 1894. He was called as the pastor of the church in Paterson, N. J. The degree of A. M. was conferred on him in 1895. In the fall of that year he received a call to take charge of the Latin department of his alma mater and was made assistant pastor of Beth- any church. Later Mr. Pihlblad be- came vice president of Bethany col- lege. In these capacities he stood very close to the late Dr. Swensson and is thoroughly conversant with the plans and ideas of the late president. | i WHIPPING POST COSTLY. f — 5 | / New Law Hangs Up Danish Parliament for Weeks. / Denmark's riksdag was ready to ad- journ on April 20, but for the deadlock } over the government’s motion to re- { establish the whipping post. The landsthing’s committee was then given two or three weeks’ time to prepare a compromise measure. This will delay adjournment until about the middle of this month, and meanwhile the riks- dag is costing the people 3,000 kronér every day. This state of affairs is likely to im- pair the prestige of the present minis- try, as the minister of justice, Mr. Al- berti, is practically foreing the pro- tracted session ainst the presidents of the landsthing and folkething. Even the conservative papers like Vort Land are attacking the government's. ex- pensive policy. Aalesund Divided. A compromise plan for the division eof the Aalesund relief fund will prob- ably be adopted. While the justice de- partment maintains that. the fund should properly be divided according «o the needs of the sufferers, the amt- mand and many of the citizens hold out for a pro-rata distribution. Sever- al public meetings for discussing the question have been held. A delegation of the fishers were in favor of the position taken by the de- partment of justice, but the artisans’ guilds or unions insisted upon an equal division among ali citizens who had Jess than 10,000 kroner. Several were willing to place the maximum limit at 3,000 kroner, but no decisive action had been taken at last accounts. Sweden Neglects Resources. P. E. Lithander of the first chamber of the Swedish riksdag scolds the na- tion for its lack of ability to develop the country’s splendid resources in a proper manner. The rich mineral de- posits are all but neglected or disposda of to foreign syndicates, lumbering is carried on in a highly wasteful man- ner, fine water powers remain unim- proved, navigation is neglected, the palance of trade is against Sweden when the country could be self-sustain- ing in every way and become wealthy. FISHING IS ONLY FAIR. Recent Good Fortune Brings Norway’s % Catch Up’ to Average. Lofoten and Romsdal fishers had®| surprisingly good luck during the lat- ter part of April, but their catch will probably fall much below the average unless the season should be prolonged beyond the usual time. For several months practically nothing was caught and two or three weeks of even the best results will hardly suffice to give a good season. In the other districts along the coast there has been a gradual de- crease in the amount of fish caught indicating to the knowing ones that the fish are leaving the coasts and the season will soon be over. However, the total catch has reached 31,500,000 fish, which is somewhat larg- er than the total for last season. PROPOSED TO KING CHRISTIAN. A Demented Woman Startles the Old Monarch Visibly. According to the Vossische. Zeitung, King Christian of Denmark was pres- ent at a reception in Copenhagen on April 27, when a young, handsome and fashionably attired woman came up to him and, in a loud voice, demanded: “I desire to ask your majesty if you would like to marry me?” “I fear,” replied the king, modestly. “that I am too old to be leigible for the honor you offer me, madom. I must beg to be excused.” ‘ At this the woman burst out in loud weeping, and it was at once apparent that she was deranged. An officer of | (he royal guards gently escorted her | from the presence chamber to a car- > and she was driven in haste to a NAVY IS POOR. Admiral Palander Is Sharply Criticised as Naval Minister. Admiral Palander is being sharply criticised by the liberal press for the condition of the Swedish navy. It is stated that many of the warships which were supposed to be ready for war duty on short notice are still of little use, notably the armored ships Odin, Njord and Svea. The defenses at Karlskrona, the chief naval station. are said to be ineffective an@# the am- munition insufficient and likewise in- effective. The morale among the men is said to be deplorable. Twenty years back Sweden boasted of the finest body of sailors in the world, but the service is said to have been all but ruined by a disastrous policy, oppression of the men, and favoritism in appointments. Pollacks Go to Sweden. In order to secure cheap labor, the sugar beet farmers of Skane, Sweden are importing Jarge numbers of Poles There are plenty of people in Sweden but they cannot exist on one krone per day. The Swedes who emigrate are scolded for their lack of patriotism and gratitude, but those who remain and see their places taken by the ignorant and serf-like Poles, view the matter in another light. At least the mill own- ers, landed proprietors and their asso- ciates are doing what they can to stimulate emigration by importing cheap labor. London’s Norwegian Club. The Norwegian Club of London is not composed of Norwegians, as might be supposed. It is composed of tour- ists, sportsmen, artists, scientists and others interested in Norway. The club rooms at No. 112 The Strand are as typically’ Norwegian, however, as though they had been fitted up in Christiania, and a son of Norway im- mediately feels at home there. The president is Sir Richard Henn Collins, master of the rolls, and among the members are Edmund Gosse, the his- torian, and James Bryce, the author and statesman. The secretary, Rev T. B. Wilson, is a most enthusiastic member, and has named his son Olaf. Bech-Olson Is Dethroned. Bech-Olsen, the celebrated Danish wrestler, has at last been defeated, and Copenhagen is in mourning. He went | to Berlin to meet the German cham- ; pion, Eberle, and found his master. Bech-Olsen was by far the most pow- erful ,but Eberle was resourceful and quick. At one time in the third bout Eberle was thought to be doomed, but by a magnificent effort twisted loose and in a thrice had the champion on the floor. New Bishop in Norway. Rev. G. C. B. Thorkildsen, dean of the diocese of Christianssand, will probably be appointed bishop of the diocese. He is the first choice of the clergymen of the diocese and thirty- six of sixty-six deans in the country. Thirteen other nominees had from one to twenty-seven votes. Dean Thorkild- sen has signified his willingness to ac cept the appointment.

Play is the natural gymnasium of the child, and his best. The bedtime frolic of the youngsters is nature’s preventive medicine against insomnia or fretful slumber. It is the most efficacious known. If mothers would insure for the tots —and consequently for herself—a quiet night, she will not discourage the idea of a pillow fight, a tug of war, or other sleepy-time demonstration. If any child is subject to insomnia, nightmare or restlessness, it- would be a wise plan to arrange for some lively gymnastics to promote the seasonable sleep. This is especially advisable if the evening has been spent in master- ing to-morrow’s lessons. Suspend a ball from the ceiling to such a height that it will be just out of reach of the little hands when the youngster is standing naturally. Let him raise himself naturally upon the balls of his feet and catch the ball with both hands. Repeated several times the little body-stretching play makes, good exer- cise. For a still livelier frolic, let the little men assume a sitting position and rock themselves over the surface of the car- pet. Night’s A Sure Protection. Barton, N. Dak., May 9th—Many cases are being published of how dis- eases have been cured and lives saved by Dodd’s Kidney Pills, but there is a family in this place who use this remedy as a protection against the coming on of diseases and with excel- lent results. Mr. W. A. Moffet says: ‘“We have no ver yserious illness or complaint for we always use Dodd’s Kidney Pills the very moment we feel the least symptom of sickness and they soon put us right. If we have a touch of lame back or think the kidneys are not right, we take a few of Dodd’s Kid- ney pills and the symptoms are soon all gone “My brother had diabetes and the doctor told him he could not live until spring. I got some Dodd’s Kidney Pills for him, and although that was several years ago he has lived through all the winters and springs since and is still living.

D., 334% Virginia St., Buffalo, N. Y., is af graduate of the University of Buf-4 falo, class 1884, and has been in the practice of medicine in that city since then. She writes as follows: «My conviction, supported by ex- perience, is that Peruna is a valuable preparation for all catarrhal affcc- tions. I have taken one bottle of Peruna myself and just feel fine. J shall continue to take it.”"—Rachael J. Kemball, M. D. Peruna has cured thousands of cases of female weakness. As a rule, how- ever, before Peruna is resorted to sev- eral other remedies have been tried in vain. A great many of the patients have taken local treatment, submitted themselves to surgical operations, and taken all sorts of doctor’s stuff, with- out any result.

The majority of the people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head alone. This is not true. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid- neys and especially the pelvic organs. Many a woman has made this discov- ery after a long siege of useless treat- ment. She has made the discovery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna can be relied upon to cure catarrh wherever located.

A Duluth Dentist vouches for the fol- lowing: Yesterday a woodman, flush with the proceeds of a winter’s toil, entered his office, and ,after some explaining, informed the dentist that he wished to have a tooth pulled. The dentist seated him in a chair, and after making the usual terrifying preparations, asked: ‘ “Do you want the tooth pulled with- out pain?” “Without payin’?” interrogated the woodsman. “Naw, I’ve got the money all right.” The dentist administered an extra jerk for that.—Duluth News-Tribune.
