For a great many years doctors pronounced {t a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis- ease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.

Pryxnam:—Ignorance and neglect are the cause of untold female suffering, not only with the laws of health but with the chance of a cure. I did not heed the warnings of headaches, organic pains, and general weariness, until I was well nigh pros- trated. I knewI had to dosomething. Happily I did the right thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound faithfully, according to directions, and was rewarded in a few to find that my aches and pains disappeared, and I again felt the glow of health through my body. Since I have been well 1 have been more care- ful, I have also advised a number of my sick friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, and they have never had reason to be sorry.

Prince Obolensky, the new governor general of Finland, shows an inclina- tion to ameliorate to some extent the sad condition of the Finns and to undo the harsh and tyrannical orders of his predecessor, the hated Bobrikoff, and the Finns are hopeful again. While on his official tour of the country the prince received numerous deputations, and the general tenor of his replies to them was that, as soon as there were no signs of discontent and the people gave convincing proof of their confi- dence in the government, he had no doubt that normal cnditions would once more return. There is Ittle doubt that Prince Obolensky will pursue a more lenient policy than Gen. Bobrf- koff, and it is probable that he has re- ceived instructions to this effect from the czar. Permission has been grant- ed for the starting of three newspa- pers, including a daily, the Helsingin Sanomat, to be published soon in the Finnish language in Helsingfors, and to replace the Paivalehti, which was suppressed a few days after Gen. Bob- rikoff’s death. It was also on Prince Obolensky’s recommendation that the Finnish diet was convoked for Dec. 6, and he has issued a circular to the provincial gov- ernors, forbidding them to interfere with the elections. This circular was elicited by a letter from one of the provincial governors, wherein he ap- plied for permission to bring pressure to bear on the electorate in order to secure more “conciliatory” representa- tives. So far only one election has taken place, wherein. the “constitu- tional” candidate, the ex-Senator Ig- natius, was returned with a two-thirds majority over the candidate of the “conciliatory” party. BJORNSON’S NEW DRAMA. Has Strong Lines With Very Simple Plot. Bjornson’s new drama, “Daglannet,” has appeared and is being eagerly read all over Norway and the neighboring country. The lines are said to be in Bjornson’s most effective style and the drama to be unusually well adapted for the stage. e Daglannet is the name of an old estate (gaard), owned by a rich old peasant, Dag, who stubbornly refuses to allow the development of the water power on the estate for industrial pur- poses. His son, Stener, has left home because of a quarrel over the old Dag’s obstinacy about the water power, and the daughter, Regna, has escaped from a Parision pension. In time the wanderers return, but the old conflicts are renewed. Regna tells with what consideration children are reared in America, and the old peasant, construing her remarks a criticism, drives her away from him. Stener, having obtained a valuable in- vention, is more intent than ever upon using the power in the falls, Old Dag threatens to sell the estate to strangers if his children will not observe the family traditions. Ragna is supposed to have wandered to her death over the mountain trail, and her miraculous rescue by the lover of her youth so works on her father’s hard nature that he becomes amiable and considerate to others. Stener has his way and Ragna hers, and the conflict between the old and new is won by the new, for progress cannot be entirely stopped. RICHEST MAN DEAD. J. W. Smitt, Wealthiest of Swedes, Has Interesting Life. J. W. Smitt, one of the leading men of Sweden, died on Oct. 8 at his home in Stockholm at the age of 83 years. | He was supposed to be the wealthiest | man in the country and paid taxes on an income of 600,000 kroner a year, in- dicatng a fortune of 15,000,000 kroner. His life had been full of adventure. | At the age of 19 he went to sea. Al- most shipwrecked, and later deserted in Uruguay on his first voyage, he eventually made his way to Buenos Aires. Returning to Sweden in 1860 with considerable money, he invested lin bank stock, real estate and various industries. He was an enthusiastic | mycologist, and published a book on the mushrooms of Sweden, which is |} an authority. S Personally he lived a very simple life. Until a year ago he was in splen- | did health, retaining his youthful vigor !and energy until he had passed his | fourscore years. Norway’s Helen Keller. Helen Keller, the blind and deaf | mute, who has overcome seemingly un- | surmountable difficulties and acquired | fine education, has her counterpart in Norway in Ragnhild Kaata, in Val- ders.

Cured Hundreds Without Charge and Died Poor. In spite of his opportunities for ac- quiring competence, Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen, the Danish physician and sci- entist, died a poor man, and his fam- ily, consisting of his widow and three children ,are dependent upon a pen- sion from the Danish government. Even the magnificent Nobel prize won by Dr. Finsen last year was used for scientific investigations. His funeral at Copenhagen on Sept 28 was made impressive by the pres- ence of more than 200 persons whom Finsen had gratuitously cured of lupus. His funeral was attended: by all mem- bers of the royal family of Denmark who were in the city, by King George of Greece, official representatives of the governments of Great Britan, Ger- many and Russia, and representatives of Danish and foreign medical and sci- entific bodies. Restricting Sales of Liquor. Many of the cities of Norway have recently made some radical restric- tions of the sale of liquor. In Bergen the number of public houses was re- duced from sixty to fifty and the li- cense for small wine dealers was fixed at the maximum rate of 100 kroner. Drammen reduced the number of places from twenty-five to twenty, in- creased the license from 500 kroner to 800 kroner. A proposition to reduce the license for wine sellers was voted down. Grimstad’s council reduced the num- ber of liquor stores to two. In Aale- sund the council decided that after New Year all places retailing beer and wine shall close at 7 o’clock in the evening. Help for the Aged. Denmark contributes liberally to the old age pension system in vogue in that country. Last year the govern- ment appropriation was 2,800,000 kroner, and it is now proposed to raise this to 3,000,000 kroner. The munici- palities contribute more than twice this sum, their joint appropriations for old age pensions in 1902 aggregating more than 6,000,000 kroner. Organ for the Lapps. The Swedish Lapps, through their central union, are about to have their | own organ. It will be published in Stockholm and for the first will ap- pear only once a month. It will be published in Swedish and Lappish, and will be devoted to the discussion of questions of particular interest to the Lapps. Savings Bank iFgures. There are 434 Savings banks in Nor- way according to the last annual re- port, or seven more than in 1902. The number of depositors at the end of 1903 was 742,912, o ry328 out of every 1,000 inhabitants. The deposits aggre- gated 349,000,000 kroner, or 470 kroner to each depositor. All the figures show increases. Danish West Indies Looking Up. The Danish West Indies, which were in poor condition some years ago, ap- pear to be prospering. There are good markets for the sugar and other products of the islands. The savings bank reports a great increase in We- positors and amounts, while finances generally are Satisfactory. Soulless Government. Nearly 40,000 kroner has already been collected for the people of Bohus lan, whose crops were ruined by the drouth. While the charitably inclined people were collecting money and pro- visions for the sufferers, the railway authorities decline to reduce the freight rates on fodder and provisions by a single penny. High Water in Denmark. The coast of Denmark between Ma- riager and Randers fjords were inun- dated for some time early in October owing to the long and heavy storms. No lives were lost, but fields were flooded, crops ruined and many im- provements along the fjords were de- stroyed or damaged. * The Russian censor in Finland has added the well-known Danish newspa- pers Dannebrog and Nationaltidende to the list of those excluded from the Finnish mails. Politiken and Social- Demokraten have been on the pro- scribed list for some time. Col. Mprner of the Swedish army has accepted an appointment as vice commandant of the military forces of the Congo State. He will go to Brus- sels after the first of the year to con- fer with the authorities before sailing for Africa.

In Atlanta, recently, a darkey was leaving an optician’s place with a pair of new spectacles. As the old chap eared the door his eye lighted upon @ most extraordinary looking instru- Ment conspicuously placed upon a counter. The venerable negro paused for several momentssto gaze in open- mouthed wonder at this thing, and then turning to the optician he asked: “What is it, boss?” “That is an oph- thalmometer,” replied the optician, in his gravest manner. “Sho’!” muttered the old man to himself, as he backed out of the door, his eyes still fastened upon the curious lookin gthing on the counter; “sho’, dat’s what I was’ afear- ed it was!” Like an Officer. Evidence made on the spur of the moment has not infrequently a mean- ing which was not quite what the Speaker wished to convey. For in- Stance, a matter-of-fact corporal dur- ing a volunteer encampment last sea- son was compelled to run in a refrac- tory private before the adjutant, and his (the corporal’s) account of the de- linquent ended in this way: “Why, you see, sir, he thinks he can go out whenever he likes, and come in when he likes, swagger about, smoke cigars, give ridiculous orders, and, in fact, sir, behave just as if he was an offi- cer.” Important to Mothers.

The late Richard Hooker Wilmer, Episcopal bishop of Alabama, was once visiting a town where the minis- ter had taken a wife not long after the death of his first one. The bishop and a companion were viewing the first wife’s monument, and the senti- ‘mental line was pointed out, , “The light went out from my life.” “Beau- tiful,” assented the bishop, “but where is the postscript?” “The postscript?” echoed his companion. “He forgot to add, ‘I have struck another match,’” j answered the bishop.

A Wedding Present. Congressman Perkins of New York was in the office of a friend, a justice of the peace, when a couple came in to be married. After the ceremony the justice accepted a modest fee and handed the bride an umbrella’ as she went out. Mr. Perkins looked on gravely, and asked: - “Do you always do that, Charles?” “Do what? Marry them? Oh, yes.” “No. I mean be- stow a present on the bride” “A pres- ent? Why, wasn’t that her umbrella?” | gasped the judge. “No, it was mine,” replied the congressman, sadly. YEAS?
