One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow suf- ferers, Peruna will cure you.” A constantly increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so- called patent medicines and recom- mené it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only in- ternal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to- day. Catarrh, as everyone will admit, is the cause of one-half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of the people of United States. , Robert R. Roberts, M.

Do Not Be Inquisitive. A train was just starting out from King’s Cross when a shirt-sleeved man came rushing down the platform shout- ing, “Smith! Smith!” A man in one of the last carriages, which was a corridor one, heard the shout, and, being naturally curious, put his head out of the window. As he did so the man running along the platform reached him and gave him a hard blow in the face. By the time he had re- covered from his surprise the train was outside the station, so he at once summoned the car attendant. “Here am I, an innocent, passenger, sitting in this carriage, just as the train pulls out. Suddenly some man runs down the platform shrieking ‘Smith! Smith’ I look out of the window and he reach- es up and almost knocks my head off. ‘Now, I want to—” “Pardon me,” interrupted the attend- ant. “Is your name Smith?” . “No, it isn’t; and that’s just what makes—” “Well, then, sir, what did you look out of the window for? There wasn’t anybody calling you, was there?” Especially for Women. Champion, Mich., Jan. 9th—(Spe- cial.)—A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A.

I had to get up three or four times in the night. I was very nervous and fearfully de- ‘ spondent. “I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. “By the time I had finished one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills I was cured. NowW I can sleep well, my limbs do not eramp, I do not get up in the night and I feel better than I have in years.

Statsraad Michelsen, minister of finance for Norway for tne time being, created a huge sensation in the sior- thing when he propsed a loan of 40,- 000,000 kroner to run sixty years at 3 1-2 per cent interest. / He explained that 30,000,000 kroner would be used in extending the national railway system. | while 10,000,000 kroner would be in- vested in British consols, French rentes and German securities, to be retained as a reserve fund against pos- sible contingencies. The members were startled, but an active opposition’ soon developed Jorgen Knudsen, Bratlie, Solberg and Gerhardsen ofthe right, Konow and Hougen of the left, Vinje of the mod- erates and Egedenissen of the Social- ists opposed the proposition in vigor- ous language. Some of the speakers jumped at the conclusion that the re- serve fund was merely a polite name for a war fund, and they ridiculed the idea of a war fund of only ten millions. Michelsen was charged with an at- tempt to foster a ministerial cr while his colleagues were absent in Paris, but defended his position with unexpected ability. He assured the storthing that the ministry was a unit on the proposition and had given the matter careful thought.’ Attention was called to the fact that both Denmark and Sweden had such reserve funds and no one had ever hinted that they were for war purposes. Hr. Knudsen, however, moved to limit the loan to 30,000,000 for railway extension, and criticised the govern- ment’s economic policy in view of the country’s financial condition. His mo- tion obtained only twenty-five votes, in spite of the active efforts in its be- half, while the government had sey- enty-four votes and carried the day. ° WAR UNLIKELY UNDER TREATY. Norway and Sweden in a Pact With Russia. Sweden and Norway have reason to feel thankful over the success of their envoy at St. Petersburg in arranging an arbitration treaty in accordance with principles laid down by The Hague convention in 1899. While the treaty does not make war impossible, it paves the way for a peaceful solu- tion of many questions which might provoke hostilities. The frontiers of Russia bordering on Sweden and Norway are long and conditions are ripe for trouble at any time. Thus the nomadic Lapps are always crossing the boundaries in search of pasturage for. their reindeer herds, those from Russia making) trou- ble for Sweden and vice versa. The rights of the Lapps have never been determined and their indifference to law has caused untold bothers in the past. Whenever Russia wants to find a pretext for entering either’ Sweden or Norway with an army, it will not be difficult to magnify one of the frontier squabbles into a casus belli. It is more than likely that the Rus- sian authorities have treated Lapps from over the border with considerable severity and that several acts for which the Muscovites could be called to account have been overlooked through fear of the big Bear. Smuggling, always a serious prob- lem to handle, becomes doubly so when there has been so much distrust as be- tween the Scandinavians and the Rus- sians. Moreover, the fact that exiles from Finland and fugitives from the severity of the conscription laws have found asylums in Sweden and Norway has also made Russia very touchy, and her small neighbors apprehensive. Every friend of the Scandinavian countries will rejoice over the oppor- tunity for an appeal to arbitration in the event of controversies which ap. pear to be almost unavoidable in view of the present conditions. CONCESSIONS TO FINLAND. Russian Not to Be Official Language of Custom and Postal Services. Finnish may again be the official lan- guage of Finland, and the people are correspondingly jubilant. On Dec. 19 an imperial decree was issued at Bjorneberg establishing Finnish as the official language in the customs, postal and other government service. Simi- dar decrees, it is anticipated, will soon be promulgated at the other ports. It is fondly hoped that the ban will soon be raised from newspapers and schools, which were suppressed dur- ing the Bobrikoff regime, and the teachers and journalists recalled from | exile. It is not impossible that the former limited autonomy will be restored, as Prince Obolensky has shown himself quite considerate in dealing with.the Finns and has confidence in their loy- alty if allowed to retain their self-re- spect and constitutional rights. Through the death of Erie Knutson, part proprietor and associate editor of the Skandanavia, published in Worces- ter for that city and Boston, the paper loses ,if not one of its brightest writ- ers, one whose noted integrity ‘has made a reputation for the paper for its fairness and impartiality. Mr. Knut- son was known to be unapproachabie through any channel but his con- science. He was well known and be- loved among his people in Boston as while his reputation traveled as far as the land of his na- tivity—Boston Globe. Not Likely That Prince Adolph and Miss Roosevelt Will Wed. The American papers continue to harp on the story sent out from Paris of a probable engagement between Prince Gustaf Adolf, son of the crown prince of Sweden and Norway, to Miss Roosevelt. No story could be more im- probable. Prince Gustaf Adolf is look- ing for a bride among the royal fami- lies of Europe in order to follow the traditions of royalty the world over and to not impair his right of succes- sion. No heir to the throne of Sweden and Norway can marry the daughter of a private citizen without forfeiting his rights, sand Theodore Roosevelt, though temporarily president of the United States, will maintain as strong- ly as any one that he is on the same footing as every other American. There is nothing to prevent the young prince from following the dic- tates of his heart, but the precedent is established very close at home, for when his uncle, Prince Oscar, married Miss Ebba Munck, a lady in waiting to his mother, he was first required to waive all his rights of succession to the throne ,the waiver to include his de- scendants as well. HONOR TO MISS HANSTEEN. Champion of Woman's Suffrage Is Now * Eighty Years Old. Aasta Hansteen, the foremost cham- pion that the cause of women’s suffrage has had in Norway, was shown many honors on the occasion of her eightieth birthday, which she _ celebrated on Dec. 10. An endless stream of visit- ors poured in on her all day and tele- grams were received from all over the country. From Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Lie, now living in Paris, came a tele- gram saying: “Thanks because you have always been yourself.” It is probably well known that wom- en exercise the same privileges as men in municipal matters in Norway, and this state of affairs is due largely to the persistent and intelligent agitation of Aasta Hansteen. ANOTHER ILLUSION SHATTERED. Fintand’s Oppressions Are Not at an End, Says Czar. Like the people of Russia who had hoped for practical reforms through the zemstvos, the people of Finland are cruelly disappointed over the as- cific rule of the new governor general, Prince Obolensky, it was hoped that many of the unjust and tyrannical de- crees would be recalled ,or at least modified. The proclamation from the throne, for which the people had wait- ed so hopefully, was a surprise. In the most positive language it was announced that the conscription mani- festo, the proclamation of Russian as the only official language, and other manifestos would be enforced to the letter. SK! SKATING SPREADS. Famous Scandinavian Sport Taken Up in Switzerland. Skis are winning favor wherever there is snow, as the most convenient form os snowshoes. They appear to be more adaptable to various contin- gencies than the Canadian snowshoes, and aside from their utility offer more forms of amusement. Attention has been called in these columns to the extended use of the skis by the armies of Germany, Rus- sia, Austria, Switzerland, England and the Alpine corps of Italy. Thins is al- most a practical necessity in these countries. In the German and Swiss mountains, skis are more and more becoming a part of the winter outdoor life. HOW NOT TO PLAN A RAILWAY. Builders of Bohus Line Severely Criti- cised by Patrons. Much criticism is directed against those who planned and built the new Bohus railway in Sweden, by mer- chants and others who are dependent on the new line. The principal criti- cism is that the stationg are located at inconvenient and in some cases nearly inaccessible places. There is no station between Robbalshede and Orreklapp, though these villages are | twelve kilometers apart and the coun- try between well settled. Between Orreklapp and Fanum stations the dis- tance is half a new mile. Sweden Welcomes Russian. A Russian visitor to Sweden who was not looked upon with suspicion was Prof. Pavloff of St. Petersburg, who came to Stockholm to receive the Nobel prize of 140,000 kroner, which had been awarded to him by the Swed- ish academy for his discoveries in medicine. Prof. Pavloff and his wife were royally entertained in Stockholm and at Upsala, where they were the guests of the university. Public Ownership Ideas. Stockholm is planning a municipal bakery to supply the almshouses, hos- pitals and other public institutions with bread and other _bakery products. Work will be started this year.

The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could be cured. He tried to cure me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became dis- usted, and one night when we noticed a testimonial of a woman who had en cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, he went out and bought a bottle for me. I used your medicine for three and one half months, improving steadily in health, and in twenty-two months a child came.
