| J} COMPLETELY RESTORED. Mrs. P. Brunzel, wife of P. Brunzel, stock dealer, residence 3111 Grand avenue, Everett, Wash., says: “For fif- teen years I suf- fered with terrible pain in my back. I did not know what it was to enjoy a night’s rest and arose in the morn- ing feeling tired and unrefreshed. My suf- fering sometimes was simply inde- scribable. When I finished the first box of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills I felt like a different woman. I continued until I had taken five boxes.

In his book, ‘Swedish Life in Town and Country,” published simultaneous- iy in England and America, G. von Heidenstam paints an interesting pic- ture of the Swedes and their daily life. He says: The very contrests in character for which the Swedes are noted seem to remind one of the extremes of their climate. They are decidedly energetic, and yet lacking in perseverence; nat- urally conservative, yet eager to adopt every novelty; alike aristocratic and ultra-democratic. They unite an in- born generosity with a propensity to envy; a love of ostentation and display with an implicit veracity and a charm- ing straightforwardness; an ardent love of their country with a tendency to self-depreciation and undisguised admiration of everything foreign. With a great love of freedom and a jealous regard for individual independence, they are great hero-worshipers and ready to exalt merit, genius and cour- age above everything else. Although their country presents variety of climate and general condi- tions of life, according to its different degrees of latitude, the Swedes are a singularly homogeneous people. With the sole exception of the Lapps, the no- madic reindeer herdsmen of the ex- treme north, they are all descended from the same old Scandinavian stock, unmixed with any foreign element. They have not been subjected to any foreign domination, and have been but little influenced by foreign culture. They have possessed and inhabited their country in the Scandinavian pe- ninsula over 5,000 years. Their lan- guage, with its sister tongues, Norwe- gian and Danish, is an outcome of the old Norse, which a thousand years ago Was common to the whole Scandina- vian world. Sonorous and full of Goth- ic strength, it is clear and _ precise. Thanks to their isolation, both geo: graphical and linguistic, the Swedes have thus been able to maintain the perfect purity of their race and their originality of culture; to develop, as it were, from within, without the help of extraneous influences. NORSK SINGERS HIE TO AMERICA. Students’ Chorus of Christiania Uni- versity Coming. Preparations are being made by the students’ chorus of the national uni- versity of Christiania to visit America next summer and to give the Ameri- cans a taste of genuine Norse music. The plans are about the same as those followed by the Lund students last summer, and the Norwegians expect to equal the success achieved by their Swedish cousins. The students of Christiania, like those of Upsala and Lund in Sweden, are famous singers. They have not often sung out of Norway, however. In 1889 the chorus went to the world’s fair at Paris, and it was the general opinion that their singing of “Olaf Trygvasson” was the best chorus work at the fair. They attended the expo- sition in Paris in 1900 and again made a distinct success. The chorus has for some time been under the direction of O. A. Grondahl and presumably is still. He is an ac- complished musicians and capable di- rector, and when the chorus is ready to start for America it will be able to interpret the Norwegian music in a worthy manner. The chorus will number from forty to fifty voices. The tour is already as- sured, as fully one-half of the expense money has been raised and Gustave Thalberg, the impressario, who man- aged the Lund students, has been in- structed to make the necessary ar- rangements. The chorus will leave Norway to- ward the latter part of June and will spend about four weeks in the United States. They will be accompanied by one or more eminent soloists. SWEDES IN BROOKLYN. Secure a Hospital After Eight Years of Unremitting Work. The Swedish hospital in Brooklyn is about to be opened. A bujiding has been secured and a bazar to raise funds for starting the institution has recently been held. The hospital asso- ciation, which was organized in the spring of 1896, has purchased a three- story brick residence with consider- able land at Rogers avenue and Ster- ling place. It is a substantial build- ing and can be converted into a hos- pital at a moderate expense. All the people engaged in the movement are people of small means and their perse- verence and energy entitle them to much praise. r Bjornstjerne Bjornson observed his seventy-second birthday, but on ac- count of his absence in Italy no cele- bration was held in Christiania. Doubtless the aged poet and patriot re- ceived a shower of congratulatory tele- grams in Rome. John Olof Ramstedt, councillor of state, has been named as minister of foreign affairs for Sweden, in place of Minister Carl Lagerheim, who has re- signed. It is understood that Hr. Ramstedt is to serve only temporarily, as there may be a general change in BEGGS’ CHERRY COUGH SYRUP cures coughs and colds, the ministry. In Far Northland. TREADS ON SWEDEN'S TOES. | Swedish Citizens Maltreated by Rus- sian Police in Finland. Sweden is agitated over the story of mistreatment of a naturalized Swedish citizen by Russian police in Finland, and the people are demanding that proper amends be made by the Rus- sian government, although they do not expect their government to be very brusque in dealing with the matter. The affair grows out of a call by the police upon Johan Ekholm of Herno- sand, Sweden, who was on a business trip to Vasa, in Finland. Ekholm is a merchant in Hernosand, and though a Finn by birth, is a Swedish citizen. Without any warrant being presented, he was seized one evening by a police officer and dragged to the police sta- tion ,where he was accused of smug- gling prohibited literature into the country. He protested against being searched unless the Swedish consul was present, and for this was struck twice on the head by a staff in the hands of an officer. When the staff was raised the third time Ekholm re- sisted, which precipitated an attack by the whole guard. He was then man- acled and locked up in a cell, where he remained from 8 o'clock in the evening until noon the next day, when he was released without further ex- planation or apology. Sweden can ask for satisfaction, but the whole country knows that it can not exact satisfaction from such a great power as Russia, which has al- ways been inclined to treat Sweden with as little consideration as its own provinces. NORLAND RAILWAY. Prospects That Work Will Begin on / This Line Before Long. Although the state railways of Nor- way are not specially remunerative, the demand for extensions is constant- ly made. Recently a delegation of the most prominent people in Nordland waited upon the railway department Officials and the railway committee in the storthing to urge an appropriation for a line into Nordland from the pres- ent terminus at Sunnan with a branch line to Namsis. : The delegation was received with much favor and their request was giv- en earnest consideration. The neces- | sity for such a railway was generally admitted and aid was promised as soon as the money could be spared. Princess Going Blind. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Norway is threatened with blind- ness and is under the care of a noted specialist, Dr. Pagenstrecher, at Weis- baden. Her mother, grand duchess of Baden, only daughter of Emperor Will- iam I., became blind. Princess Victo- ria has been almost a_ stranger at Stockholm for several years, as her health is delicate and the climate of Sweden is too severe for her. Hard Road for a Railway. One of the costliest railways in Nor- way is the recently constructed Eger- sund-Flekkebjord line, which cost 85,- 000 kroners or about $23,000 per mile. The Valders line, which goes through an unfavorable country, will cost only about 40,000 kroner per mifé. It is gen- erally admitted that the Flekkefjord line will not pay expenses for many years, but will have a large deficit each year. Russian Spies in Sweden. In Southern Sweden, particularly in Skaane, there have been observed re- cently a number of Russians who rep- resent that they are traders. They have nothing to trade, however, and do nothing except to haunt the military camps and principal seaports. They have been observed making’ sketches and taking notes. Apparently they have succeeded the “sawfilers” as Rus- sian spies. Welcome to Finnish Exiles. Senator Mechelin and four other ex- iled Finns, who have been allowed to return to attend the landtag, were re- ceived with the greatest enthusiasm on their arrival at Helsingfors from Sweden, Dec. 5. The whole ejty turn- ed out to meet them and in their en- thusiasm the people unhitched the horses from Senator Mechelin’s car- riage and drew it through the streets to his home. ———- Minister Thomas Likes Stockholm. Several papers published in America have been publishing the report that W. W. Thomas, minister of the United States to Sweden and Norway, was about to resign. Even a successor was named. Mr. Thomas declares that the whole story is a fabrication and ex- presses the hope that he may represent his country at Stockholm for many years to come. American Competition Stiff. The Swedish export union, whose principal purpose is to encourage Swedish industry and increase the amount of exports, strongly criticises the recently organized International Harvester company, which will make | a specialty of American agricultural machinery, to the detriment of an in- fant industry in Sweden. The Amer- ican machinery is sold so cheaply that the Swedish manufacturers cannot possibly compete. Strange, If True. Mrs. Nolan had made some dispar- aging remarks about the costume of her husband’s bosom friend, Mr. Her- lihy, and they were promptly resented. ““His hat is turning green wid age,’ is it?” said Mr. Nolan with fine scorn “and ‘his boot8 is rusty and cracked- lookin’,’ did I hear ye say? \Listen now to me, Mary Nolan.

An Atchison woman whose husband beats her recalls that she got him by walking down stairs backward with a mirror in her hand one Halloweeen. She thought then that the fairies had led him there to peep over her shoul- der, but has concluded since that he had broken into the cellar to steal something.—Atchison Globe. Too Bad. A B. Woods, the ornithologist of the Smithsonian institution, returned re- cently from his vacation with an amusing story about a village usurer. “This usurer,” said Mr. Woods, “had trumped up some iniquitous claim or other against a reputable widow. It was a claim that, if satisfied, would leave the widow almost destitute, and she, on account of its injustice, dis- puted it. Therefore the usurer brought suit against her. “The day before the trial the man visited his lawyer. “What do you think of our case’s prospects?’ he said. “‘Only fair, said the lawyer. ‘Only fair. If you want a verdict in your fa- vor you had better pray for it.’ “ ‘Pray?’ said the usurer, holding up his hands. ‘Pray? No, no. God must hear nothing of this.’” Reads Like a Miracle. Moravia, N. Y., Dec. 12th.—(Spe- cial).—Bordering on the miraculous is the case of Mrs. Benj. Wilson of this place. Suffering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted away till from weighing 200 Ibs. she barely tipped the scales at 130 Ibs. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure her hus- band says: “My wife suffered everything from Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years and doctored with two doctors, but received no benefit. She had so much pain all over her that she could not rest day or night. The doctor said that she could not live. “Then an advertisement led me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they helped her right from the first. Five boxes of them cured her. Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills were a God-Sent remedy to us and we recommend them to all suf- fering from Kidney Disease.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure all Kidney Diseases, including Bright’s Disease, and all kidney aches, including Rheu- matism.
