ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy, Truly the work of such a woman is “never done” and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful. Lydia EB. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman neds whose strength is over- taxed.

Physician Called It Eczema In Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. “About four years ago I was afilict- ed with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irri- tation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to dis‘ continue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was en- tirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

RHEUMATISE A Ss DIS TES Br IN THE S NORWAY. Norway exported more lumber, wood and all kinds of woodwork in 1906, according to recently published statistics, than any other European nation. The wood industry, as we may call it, has been steadily growing in the little kingdom, as is shown by the following table, which gives the num- ber of tons of wood, lumber, etc., ex- ported each year since 1869, and the price received: Year.

In America the state has nothing to say as to who shall own the falls or what use shall be made of them, as they are here regarded as private property, un- less situated in state or national parks, put in Norway the state is deeply con- cerned. How the question will be set- tled—whether foreigners are to be al- lowed the same privileges as Norwe- gian citizens in using the falls for commercial purposes—remains to be seen and will be treated in a future issue. A Christiania correspondent writes as if the question is so impor- tant that it may result in the over- throw of the great Michelsen ministry, which has been in power since the dis- solution of the union with Sweden. ef @ Knute Bergslien, the nestor among the painters of Norway, has celebra- ted the 80th anniversary of his birth. In spite of his advanced age the artist has a youthful spirit and has not com- pleted his work. He has been at the head of a school of art at Christiania for more than a_ generation and has done more for the development of painting in Norway than any other teacher, in all probability. Of late years his paintings have not had the vogue they had in his younger days, for the reason that they represent a foreign school. Still Bergslien’s works bear a national stamp and have always been loved by the Norwegian people. a) King Haakon and Queen Maud, who have been spending a couple of weeks in Paris, will cruise along the coast of Norway in July, starting at Christiania and ending at Vadso, whence they will travel by carriage to the Russian bor- der. The royal couple will sail in the steamer Olaf Kyrre, placed at their disposal by the Nordenfjeld Steamship company. News of the royal tour has been received with enthusiasm along the west coast. - *¢ * The soldiers of Malmoen have com- plained as to the quality of the coffee that has been served to them, and a better quality has been ordered by the government. s 2 8 About 500 school teachers of Chris- tiania have taken a course of instruc- tion in the teaching of Sunday school classes. eee It is announced by the government that 572,125 kilograms of fruit were exported from Norway in 1906. a 2 8 SWEDEN. The small merchants of Stockholm made a_ formidable demonstration against the big department and co- operative stores in front of the city hall. Over 60,000 people were in the crowd, all sympathizing with the small | merchants, who are being ruined by the stores against which they have now taken up arms. Resolutions were adopted, addressed to the rigsdag, asking that certain restrictions be placed by the government upon the cv-operative and department stores. see Dr. Frans Kempe, owner of the Domsjo sawmill and the sulphur works, has offered to sell shares in his properties to his employes, thereby en- tering into a copartnership with them, for their mutual welfare.

CANDINAVIAN NORTH Gleanings of Important News From the Press of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. By MARTIN W. ODLAND. Stockholm is passing through a re- markable boom, Such building of new houses, palatial in their size and beau- ty, was never known before. In_all parts of the city old houses are being torn down, to be replaced by more imposing structures. It is surprising what large and fine looking buildings are being razed to the ground in some places. Even five-story residences of pleasing architecture are being re- placed with new ones, so intense is the building craze. One of the conse- quences of this peculiar boom is a scarcity of houses and rooms to rent, and the rates are so high as to be practically prohibitive. se 8 The Swedish consul general at Lon- 4 don writes to the minister for foreign affairs that the Swedish firms are not sufficiently aggressive to enable them to extend their. business in England. He writes that the consul at Liverpool reports to him that although the firms of Norway, Germany and other coun- tries send out representatives and quotations of prices, thereby keeping in close touch with the English houses, the Swedish business men do neither, and consequently his efforts at trade expansion for Swedish merchandise have met with failure. oh ee Selma Langerlof, the Swedish au- thoress, has received an address of thanks from the various hunters’ asso- ciations of Sweden for the services she has rendered in the campaign they are waging for the protection of wild game by her latest book, “Nils Holgerson’s Journey Through Swed- en.” The address was inscribed on parchment and was signed by the pres- ident and the secretary of the head as- sociation, - *¢ € Passengers on a train witnessed an exciting race between the locomotive and two large elks while going from Norberg to Hofors the other day.

For about a kilometer the loco- motive and the elks ran an even race. s * 2 The new Swedish church at Ham- burg, Germany, named in _ honor otf Gustavus Adolphus, was recently ded- icated by Archbishop Ekman, in the presence of a vast audience, in which were many Swedish notables. There is quite a large Swedish colony in Ham- burg and always a large number of Swedish sailors, so that the new church fills a real want, se 8 Oluf Wilhelm Carlstrom, a million- aire of Gothenburg, committed suicide and the citizens are completely mysti- fied, as there is no known reason why he should have desired to cut short his life by his own hand.

Commenting on a report that a movement was on foot to bring about an alliance between Germany and Denmark, the paper says that the larg: er nation has no desire for a closer relationship, nor does it wish to an- tagonize Denmark; Germany’s policy will be to let Denmark alone and con- tinue neutral among the nations, as in the past. oe King Frederick and Queen Louise of Denmark have recently paid their first official it to King Edward and Queen Alexandra at London. The British king gave a great dinner in their honor, followed by numerous prilliant social honors and popular demonstrations.
