Mr. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz- ard of California, has originated a wonderful new plant which grows any- where, in any soil or climate, and bears great quantities of luscious: berries all the season. Plants are grown from seed, and it takes only three months to get them in bearing, and they may be grown and fruited all summer in the garden, or in pots during the win- ter. It is unquestionably the greatest Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr. Burbank has made Mr. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., the in- troducer. He says that Mr. Childs is one of the largest, best-known, fair- est and most reliable Seedsman in America. Mr. Childs is advertising seed of the Wonderberry all over the world, and offering great inducements to Agents for taking orders for it. This berry is so fine and valuable, and so easily grown anywhere, that every- body should get it at once.

King Haakon opened the storthing in person Jan. 12 last. ese The tariff revenue for the year 1908 was 44,465,214 crowns, as against 42,- 462,244 crowns for the year 1907. eee Consul J. W. Prebenson has the unique distinction of having been elected chairman (ordforer) of Risor thirty consecutive times. * * &> During the last fiscal period of the year 1907-8 the national debt of Nor- way was reduced 4,055,000 crowns, the net profits of the government dur- ing that time being 6,565,000 crowns. ee 8 The government has proposed an appropriation of 435,060 crowns for the purchase of all kinds of supplies, for completing the three buildings now in process of construction and for the general good of the institu- tion, including salaries for six profes- sors. ss *# * Postmaster Moeller of Svinesund, who in his younger days was regard- ed as the most skillful builder of sail- boats in Norway, and whose name is honored by every Norwegian seaman, celebrated his eightieth anniversary. He has held his present office for over fifty years. ee © Mrs. Aaste Gunderson of Brevik and Mrs. Ingebork Skauen of Bamle, who are twin sisters, celebrated their nine’ ighth birthday anniversary re- centiy.

At the first of the present year the three institutions were brought under the control of one company. zs es * Among those who perished in the earthquake at Messina was Consul John Christian Martens, who went to Italy in 1885, since which time he was commerce and consular work until the time of his death. He was for a long time consul for Sweden and Norway at Messina, ren- dering efficient service. He was born at Bergen in 1858, being the son of.a wholesale grocer. + 16. mist, Prof. T.

Prof. Aschehoug was looked upon as an honor to the whole nation.” s 8 # A peculiar phenomenon is reported from Horten. It seems that petro- leum has been discovered in an ordi- nary well, spoiling the water for the good housewife. Her husband emp- tied the well and ceaned it out thor- oughly, but when the well filed again the petroleum was still there. It is believed that the presence of the pe- troleum is due toan earthquake, which recently visited that section. see Statistics show that the villages and cities of Norway have increased in population quite rapidly of late years, a fact which indicates that the trend among the people is city-ward there as well.as in England and the United States. During the last seven years Trondhjem has grown from 36,- 180 to 42,000; Stavanger from 31,012 to 36,200. Only one town, Vadso, lost ground, decreasing from 1,946 to 1,920. es # SWEDEN.

The queen has spent the past ten winters in Italy, the climate there being best suited to her delicate health. large Stockholm possesses seven public ice rinks, and skating is a very popular sport these days. Ski run- ning also claims a great deal of atten- tion, and tournaments are held every few days in different parts of the country. eee King Edward of England, in his speech closing the recent session of parliament, paid the king and queen of Sweden a flattering tribute, and stated that their recent visit in Eng- land had done much in cementing the friendship of the two countries. isos. The Trollhatte Canal company has offered electricity at very low rates to farmers who wish to use it for plow- ing, where a contract for a term of five years is made. Since the new power ‘station was built special in- ducements are being made to intro- duce the power among the agricul- tural classes as well as the manufac- tories. *- * * The authorities at Marstrand have taken action looking toward the es- tablishment of a municipal electric lighting system. As soon as the plan is worked out it will be referred to the people for endorsement. Blec- tricity is being used more and more for both light and power, and the re- sult is that all available water pow- ers will soon be set to work in the country. * £ « Sven Hedin, the noted Thibetan ex- plorer, finally reached Stockholm Jan. 17, coming from India through Russia. He was given a warm welcome home, being met at the station by a commit- tee composed of members of the riks- dag and various geographic societies, etc., besides a great gathering of citi- zens. He was taken direct to the royal palace, where King Gustaf gave him an audience. During the festivi- ties in his honor the king decorated him with the grand cross of the Northern star. ss 6 During the month of February the Northern games will occur at Stock- holm. These games take place once every four years, and sportsmen will attend from all parts of the country as well as foreign countries. The games include skating, skiing, skate sailing, hockey, ice yachting, trotting matches, deep snow racing, military sports, etc., the competitions being open to anybody wishing to partici- pate. These games, showing the win- ter sports of the country, are the only ones of their kind, and attract a great deal of interest. se 6 It is reported that Selim Effendio, the eldest son of Abdul Hamid, sul- tan of Turkey, will visit Stockholm ng. He is to make a’ trip, and will include Sweden in his itinerary, returning to Constantinople by way of Russia. The Swedish department of justice recently issued a circtlar letter to during the sp European j collectors of customs along the Nor-. wegian border, instructing them to: treat all foreigners with respect. A Norwegian paper commenting upon this order says: “It is said that the admonition of the circular letter has already had a beneficial effect, and we are grateful to the Swedish depart- ment of justice. On the other hand, the Norwegians ought to avoid ac- lions and utterances that only tend to wound the feelings of our neighbors.” It is believeq that.it will only be a matter of time before the two nations will be on as friendly a footing as be- fore the disruption of the union. * * @ CENMARK. The people of Denmark expect to have the pleasure of seeing and hear-. in the not! ing President Roosevelt distant future. According to a dis- patch from Copenhagen, it is stated! that.Mr. Egan, the American minis- ter, has declared that the president will visit the Danish capital either before or after his African hunting trip. According to Mr. Egan, Presi- dent Roosevelt is waiting for an in- vitaticn to lecture at the University of Copenhagen—an invitation which will doubtless be extended very soon. The president is said to be a warm admirer of Denmark’s people and in- stitutions, a fact due, perhaps, in large measure to the close friendship between him and Jacob Riis, the dis- tinguished Danish-American author and sociologist. ae fog Postmaster Holboll of Gentofte, who conceived the idea of issuing the Christmas stamps (Julemerket), from the proceeds of which a sanatorium: was built. has been decorated by King Frederick with the cross of the order of Dannebrog, Lieut.

He was clear minded and in excellent spirits up to the very last, although totally blind the last seven years of his life. CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS, And Suffered Annually with a Red Scald-Like Humor on Her Head. Troubles Cured by Cuticura. “When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Some time later a humor broke out be- hind her ears and spread up on to her head until it was nearly half cov- ered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid com- ing from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was dis- couraged. But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and [Resol- vent until she was well and kas never been troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A. Schwerin, 674 Spring Wells Ave., Detroit, Mich.
