sour. In some places one can get only mix
and '.fiadbrod," kind of bread that is about
the thickness of wrapping paper. In some
places tourists report absolutely nothing to eat.
One traveller says, "Not liking to trust either
the hay or the beds, L slept on board with a
milk pail for my pillow" So far we have not
had any hardships in the way of food or lodg-
ing, that being reserved for our return to Chris
tiana by new route.
And now what shall say of the $50 miles of
scenery through which we travelled in the
"trille" from SilteIanmer to this place. may
say we have travelled through valley nearly
the whole distance from Christiania to Trond-
hjem; for we had hills on each side of us,
which, as we came north, increased into noun
tains. 1t was Swiss scenery, with rather less
cultivated land than we see III Switzerland.
We had so miles of scenery like that in the
vicinity of the Wiley House in the White
Mountains. There were many places that re-
minded us of our ride up Boulder canyon in
Colorado. We passed along the borders of sew
eral lakes that were miles in length. AT one
point along lake the ride is like that from
Staba to Sorrento, with this difference, that
in Italy the road is high up on cliff with the
waters of the Bay of Naples far down below
us, while in Norway the road is built in the
edge of the water, and the cliff rises hundreds
of feet over our heads. Our road crossed the
Dorm Field for near thirty miles. This field is
desolate waste, like Scotch moor, but it Is
surrounded by some of the loftest mountains
in Norway, varying from four to six thousand
feet on the tops and sides of which, in this
last week in June, are large fields and patches
of snow. The scenery is as wild and grand as
that we see in the Alps, but it does not reach
the sublime of those unmatched mountains:
Nearly all the way up we are most of the time
in sight of a river or a lake, and in one place
the mountains close in so near both sides that
that there was no land to build road on, and
it is cut in the face of perpendicular cliff
seuen hundred feet above the river. The snow
on the mountain tops supplies plenty Of
water which in many places comes leaping
down thousand or fifteen hundred feet.
In few years it will he as much the thing
to come to Norway for fine scenery as it has
been in years past to go to Switzerland; and
from the reports of tourists do not doubt
that Norway presents to the lover of fine seen
cry greater variety than any other country
in Europe. In a few years railroad will trav-
erse the route over which we have come and it
will be a much easier thing to cross the Dorm
Field than it is now. j. S. OF MAINE.

The health and vigor of the several organs of the
body depend upon the simple condition that the
functions which pertain to each shall be regularly
and actively performed. If vitality is sluggish de-
cient, this condition is not properly fulfilled and
consequence disease is soon inaugurated. Prevent
it by timely use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rouse the vital energies when dormant and
endow the feeble frame with needful stamina. At
the same time that the Bitters infuse new strength
into the system, they correct those functional regu
larities and local weaknesses which sap the vital
power. Dyspepsia, bladder and kidney complaints,

stipation and nervous diseases are invariably

A Lesson from Cabbages.

Every one knows that cabbages
will not grow fast or head out well
unless they are hoed very often.
Most have also learned that this crop
does the best if hoed very early in
the morning, while the dew is on the
ground. Hoeing later in the day,
when the dew has eyaporated, will
not have the same effect. The rea-
sons appear to be these:
The dew, being covered with soil,
is retained, and helps keep the earth
moist. 1t contains large amount of
oxygen, which it took from the air.
These act to decompose the soil, and
to hasten the growth of plants. 1t al
so absorbs large quantity of ammo"
MIA, which is directly taken up by the
plants. Now the same causes ought
to produce the same effect on other
plants, and it has been found by OBJ
serving farmers that they do. Mar
ket gardeners prefer to have potatoes
hoed either when the soil is wet with
dew, or after a slight rain.
Observations made by one of the
best farmers in Wisconsin, extending
through many years, convinced him
that there was great advantage in
blowing land while it was wet with
dew Especially was this the case
when clover or grass was plowed
under. 1t was found that the grass
and sod rotted much sooner, and that
the succeeding crops were larger and
of better quality Chicago Times.
