WO DOLLARS A YBAR IN ADVANCE 7 Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, The A Awakening of the Northmen. Some kind of revolution is impend- ing in Norway. It will almost certainly be peaceful. The modern intellectual spirit is opposed to viol ence. ‘The interest opposed to reyolu- tion is not strong or earnest enough to resist it by force. There is only one mind in Norway, and Sweden has not eough to lose by separation to go to war to prevent it. Rumors and predictions range all the way frum complete commercial separation through an independent cousular service to an Independent republic. The middle + ground of diplomatic separation as well, mak- ing two wholly independent nations under one king, seems purposeless. A sesident figurehead is absurd enough: a non-resident flgurehead is impossible. Norway bas a complete legislative independence already, like Hungary in the dual monareby. The present agitation begun with demand for control of commercial relations uhrough independent consuls. If the change shoula go farther than this we do not see how it can stop short f complete independence, either as a republic or under a separate mon- arch. it isa strange thing that Norway, peopled by tbe most vigorous of the European races, never has enjoyed complete independence under asingle the early times,; government. In when its vikings were founding em- pires all over the world, the free spirit of the Northman forbade them to unite under a single monarch at home. The same spirit of local inde- pendence made it easy to bring them under the external, though not alien, rule of Denmark first and Sweden afterwards. Norwegian history has’ Leen something like Irish for the sume causes. What is the force that has finally roused the people of Norway to com- plete union and inseparation for na- tional independence? We: believe it is Lhe same intellectual impulse that has brought national greatness to so any peoples, from ancient Greece to modern Germany. Perhaps the most intellectual national movement of ihe nineteenth century was that of orwegian writers from Ibsen to Ljornson, They have given their countrymen a national language and filled them with national spirit. The coming revolution will be as much their work as that of the writers of the encyclopedia.—Minneapolis Trib-} Traveled Long Distance to Reach His une. ++ One Life Against Many. ‘The czar has resolved, we are told, not only to continue the war, but to uphold reactionary despotism in 1ts severest form. Gen. Trepoff who is ajready under sentence of death by the evolution for the murder of the Moscow students, is made head of the police with the practical power of dictator. There is still talk of a national assembly. Sut all the details given indicate that it will be the mere creature of the autocracy, with no real power to the state. Not one of the constitutional re- forms, of which we have heard so much, has been actually realized. ‘The decrees issued pretending to give them etfect have cheated the hope of the people with useless and meaning jess forms. The concessions of the ezar are nothing but shadows. The The only reality is the dectatorship of Trepoff. Can anyone be surprised that the first fruit of this is new rumor of assassination and the put- ting of a price upon Srepoff's head. When we are told that the czar has decreed these things, it ouly means ve been done in bis name onary grand dukes and nobles. it is said that Pobie@onosteft has recovered all his baleful influence. ‘At the fataily council last week it is said that the Grand Duke Valdimir, the strongest of the uncles of the czar, made an earnest appeal for peace: but that he was opposed by al] the swarm of corrupt nobles and bureaucrats whu have enriched them- selves by the war and Nicholas listen- ed to the latter. Valdimir ts the head of the family after Nicholas and would be regent in case of his death. Can any one doubt that his death would be the best thing for the people of Russia? He is incapable of the sacritice destiny now demands of the ruler of the nation, Nicholas [., was as strong as his great grandson is weak, made the sacrifice in 1856 and died of a broken beart a year after, Nicholas 11. prefers to sacritice 100,060 more of his children in Man- churia. What is his miserable life worth in. comparison with all those? Should an assassin’s hand reach him in his guarded seclusion in time to save this slaughter, the world could not but mingle relief and thankfulness for them with pity pity for his fate.—Minneapolis Tribune. ——_+e+—___ “The Duke of Duluth is a new theatrical one to come out in New York next season, It is.not learned whether A. j, Whiteman or Charley Town will star in the piece.” Aitkin Age, The foregoing is, of course, intend- ed as an insult to Congressman Towne, the statesman, orator and patriot. Whiteman is a common scoundrel, according to several sears’ report. The imbecile who wrote the guoted paragraph should be slapped in the face by a man. e+ __ Minnesota High School Graduate. Hundreds of young people will this week be graduated from the high schools of Minnesota, the number being far larger than ever before. This is particularly true in the north- erg part of the state when large graduating classes, even in the small towns, are the rule. It is possible that these young people db not know it, butitis nevertheless a tact they have obtained in general a better school training than their fellows in any state in the Union. ‘The Minnesota high school system is the best in the United States, It represents the highest point ef efficiency which has been at- tained in matters education in point of method, matter and system. No teacher can be empluyed in the high schouls of Minnesota who has not met the highest standards set up anywhere in the country for edusa- tion and for professional training, while Minnesota state system of high school board is the admiration of every state and country. » While we do not forget that there is always room for Improvement it is a great satisfac— tion to know that the young men and women who graduate from the high school of Minnesota this week have received the best training that modern educatinn can given them.— Bemidji Pioneer. BEAGLE HAD HOMING INSTINCT. Former Master. County Commissioner Henry P. Mann of Baltimore county, who lives at Orangeville, near Baltimore, is credited with telling the following story of the return of a beagle hound to Orangeville, from Kent county: “Abcut three years ago I gave away a beagle hound, which was taken to Kent county. One night recently I and my family were amazed to see the dog walk into our home and take position near the stove. It was very cold and hungry. “I cannot account for how the deg got here unless it crossed the bay from Rock Hall to Baltimore county and walked thence to my home. The dog had frequently hunted in the por- tion of the county through which it had to pass, if it came all the way from the bay shore. “This is no more remarkable than a homing pigeon flying 500 miles beck te his home.”—Baltimore Sun. Ancient Canadian Castles. To Americans castles are associated with the storied Rhine, picturesque England or France and Spain, but it is interesting to be reminded by the St. John (P. E, I.) News that there are a number of ancient Canadian castles still existing, the chief ones being St. Ours, Rimouski, St. Eus- tache, Lotbiniere, Montibello, Ste. Marie de la Beance, Vaudreil, Rou- ville, and, most interesting of all, the Chateau de Ramezay at Montreal. The latter was built in 1765 by Ger- trude de Ramezay, at that time gov- ernor of the district of Montreal and knight of the Royal and Military Or- der of St. Louis. From him was de- scended the last French governor of Quebec, at the time of the capitula tion in 1759. government by one central |. s During the Day and Night.) It has been seriously asserted by many people that we are naturally dighter after a meal, and they have even gone the length of explaining this by the amount of gas that is developed from the food. Average observations, however, show that we lose three pounds six ounces between night and morning; that we gain one pound twelve ounces by breakfast; that we again lose about fourteen ounces before Iunch; that lunch puts on an average of about one pound; that we again lose during the after- noon an average of ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner to healthy persons adds two pounds two ounces to their weight. Sunshine. The latest fad of the very rich is sunshine, obtained at any cost and almost ‘at will. Verandas are glassed in to form sun parlors, and rooms to which the sun comes in the natural course of events are furnished accord- ingly. Then there is no anxiety over the fading of carpets and hangings. A room seen recently contained rugs warranted to resist the influence of the sun, ecru curtains and rattan fur- niture, whose cushions were covered with Java cotton, in bright colors, that are indelible. It was very pretty and cheery, and had the sun a good part of the day in its early hours. How Brown Bears Catch Salmon. Alaska’s brown bears near the Ber- ing sea live largely on salmon and are extraordinary fishers. Before be- ginning to fish they always place themselves on the downward side of the river. “They seem to smell the salmon by some extraordinary meéans,” says.a hunter, “and then be- gin dashing in and out of the river at some shallow place, rarely failing to catch a fish. They bring it out on the bank and devour it, if possible selecting some thick patches. of bushes and grass in which to make their meal, which does not take them long.” British Warship Joke. A’ good original story is to hand from H. M. S. Alacrity, now in port. Sammy, the young Chinese steward attending on the wardroom mess, heard one of the officers at dinner eomplaining of the uhusually hot taste the mustard had. Next day the mustard pot was miss- ing and could not be found. Sammy was called and, after being ques- tioned, admitted having put it in the | ice chest, as he had heard the ofli- vers complaining that it was too hot. —South China Post. Might Have Answered “Fleas!” An East Side kindergartner was about to give her class a lesson, with “The Kitten” as the subject. She be- gan by saying: “Our lesson this morn- ing will be all about the kitten. Now, can any little bey or girl tell me which grows on the kitten—fur or feathers?” A dead silence followed for a min- ute, when one little boy said in a loud voice: “G-o-o-d Lawd! MHain’t you never seen.a kitten?”—Life. The Bell. He died Alas, they said, what romise died With im—what youth, what eloquence, they sighed— They ie” had left him lonely days tc Withholding then what now they fain would give. But his rich grave, that to the living seemed So dark, had brimmed with starlight as he dreamed, And far away a muted bell set free Rang in immortal choirs his ecstasy. —Louise Morgan Sill in the Outlook, Humor of Clerical Life. To those about to seek admission into holy orders, an interview with the ordinary is a time of much anxi- ety, sometimes of mental confusion. This, perhaps, accounts for the un- usual behavior of.a young candidate who, dismissed on the Episcopal door- step with a solemn “God bless you,” hastily answered, “Don’t mention it, my lord.”—Strand Magazine. “WARDING OFF OLD AGE. ~ Simple Calisthenic Exercise That Will Do Much. A‘ famous French general, when asked how it was that he had such an erect carriage, replied that it was because he bent over and touched the floor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had acquired rigid- ity of the spine so that he could not do that, he would have had with it weak abdomina: muscles, which ‘re- sult in portal congestion. This por- tal congestion interferes with stom- ach digestion and with the action of the liver. The poison-destroying pow- er of the liver is lessened, autointoxi- cation results, and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at a much earlier day. But by keeping the spine flexi- ble and the abdominal muscles strong and taut the portal circulation is kept free and old age is held off—Good Health. Certain Weather Indications. Distant sound heard distinctly fore- bodes no good weather. If the sun “draws up water” it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the teakettle boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob- webs thickly spread upon the grass are an indication of fair weather. Animal life seems, according to the popular notion, to have peculiar warnings regarding the weather changes. Some of these are explain- able by natural causes. It is a fact recognized by all intelligent stock- men that cattle have an intimation of an approaching storm some hours be fore it is visible to the human eye. There is a certain restlessness which the cowboy has learned to interpret at once. All Positions Have Drawbacks. Every position in the world has its drawbacks, every line of work has its disagreeable side, and failure many times can be traced to this shirking from attending to the disagreeable, seemingly unimportant, cr difficult, task. A mother dreads to punish her child. She can’t bear the scene it will cause, and she lets the small er- ror go uncorrected until it grows great. An employer thinks it mean and small to speak to his help about be- ing on time; and so the few moments are lost each day, other leaks are not stopped, and his business is ruined. Evening Thought. The little things which you may do for those about you will fall back up- on your heart as the summer dews fall upon vineyards. What if it is nothing but a kind word to a school- boy erying in the street? It dries his j tears,and the aching, heart grows light and. glad again. Who knows | what a cloud of darkness one kind word may dispel? Wear a smile and make others happy. There is no joy so gredt as that which springs from a kind act or a pleasant deed.— Woman's Life. How Is It With Thee? ; Look inward es the depths of thine own sou. How is it with thee? Art thou sound and whole? Does narrow search show thee no earth- ly stain? Be noble! and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, but never dead. | Will rise in Majesty to meet thine own; Then wilt thou see it gleam in many eyes, Then will pure light around thy path be shed, And thou wilt nevermore be sad and lone. —James Russell Lowell. Betrothed at Birth. In’some parts of West Africa the girls have long engagements. On the day of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than them- selves, and at the age of twenty they are married. The girls know of no other way of getting a husband, and so they are quite happy and satisfied. As wives they are patterns of obedi- ence, and the marriages usually turn out successes.
