Industries OF Sweden and NORWAY.

Although in Norway and Sweden
there are many mines and mills, most of
the people gain their living either out
of the soil or the sea. The farmer in
either country is marvel of industry
and thrift; he would live upon whas an
American farmer wastes, and live more
comfortably than our farming popula-
tion do, as a rule. The amount Of labor
performed st the'speeial dairy ferns, to.
which cattle are driven in summer, gen.
orally by girls, would horrify q Western
maiden; but the Swedish and NorRS5T
gian girls thrive on it, enioying rI
good health, and consequent happiness.

Three months Of education does not
make scholar; nor yet would the same
number of months of toll for the root
of all evil" bring the desired wealth;
but three months of loVe-making can
be made to count for good deal, and
so finds Roger Elbermarie.
The winter is over and spring is here;
the month when the birds choose their
mates and build their tiny homes, and
mems minds turn instincti7ely to
thoughts of love; aad one afternoon,
just as the sun is setting behind great
cloudy bars of crimson and purple,
Roger draws up in his phaeton before
the Little gate of the Goldthwaites' cot

he says to Sarah, as he lifts :Pussy's
slight figure into the carriage ana jumps
lightly in beside her. Sarah's face
softens as she looks after them.r
"The darling! it's easy to see what
is coming. Oh, how could I ever have
thought 10 let ersacriice herself-and
yet, when it was for mother! Well, she
deserves everything of the best"
The two young people drive along
with but few words for a little while,
drinking in the beauty of the scene
about them; the low-lying valleys are
bathed III a golden haze; the "green
things growing" have already begun to
clothe the roadside with verdure, and
over all the sky throws its gorgeous
mantle. In short time the sun will
have set, the twilight fallen, and all
will be quiet and gray; but just now
the earth seems like new and glorifed
sphere.
Suddenly Roger turns and looks into
his companions sweet face.
"Do you, remember this spot?" he
asks.
A smile chasesaway the gravity which
Pussy's face has worn for the past few
"Yes," she replies, sit is the scene Of

soonest bridal parures.
Feather bands will be worn as dress
trimmings as we'll as Oh hats and
bonnets.
A New York house has introduced the
fashion of making dress waists with the
seams sewn Like those of kid gloves.
The faTorite decoration at present for
the throat is 2 necklace of amber or real
coral beads, both of which are in great
request.
The new poke bonnets are very high
and very narrow about the ears. The
crowns are mostly Of the Mother Hub
bard shape.
Last years surtouts may be turned
into polonaises by putting plait into
the back of the skirt, and adding pufcd
draperies to the side.
Imported toilets are exceedingly bout
FAINT in effect, and the fashion is qnite
displeasing to short, stout women, to
whom it is very unbecoming.
Tartan plaids and Roman stripes are
now shown in cheviot materials, and
make very stylish street dresses trimmed
with plush Of monochrome color.
Real silver, and also new steel but
tons are displayed, cut in facets which
sparkle like diamonds, and lcok very
rich upon street jackets of velvet or
plush.
The embroidered pongee gowns of
last summer were so pretty that they
sre initiated in surah. The skirts have
three deep founces, all bordered with
embroidery, and the scarf drapery and
little shoulder capes are finished in the
same way. i
Many Of the new round hats, and a
few Of the mitigated poke-bonnets, have
a fall Of Spanish lace at the edge Just
deep enough to shade the eyes. This
drapery is very becoming to most faces,
and as the fashion gains ground and the
width of the lace grows a trife deeper,
wells will be quite superseded.

mothers sake, and what other way is
there %
/ Pussy walks on, a pretty picture in
her dark suit with its scarlet pipings,
and the lovely face whose brilliance no
heart trouble can quite quench.
It is very cold; :; overhead the sky is
gray, and the wind skurries the clouds
along at rapid rate, and plays many a
| prank with Pussy's hais, now blowing it
forward into the rosy face, and now
backward into disheveled, curling,
bronze brown masses.
a steep incline is before her, and it is
one long dazzle of ice.
"Oh, dear," thinks Pussy, 'I shall
certainly fall"
The, thought has scarcely passed
through her mind when, with an e1-
clamation of dismay, her feet slip from
beneath her, and down she goes.
Some one sees and hastens to her
assistance but masculine boots cannot
always tread dangerous spots in safety
any more than the tiniest of feminine
feet, such as Pussy's-and there is ex-
clamation number two, as, with de-
clded thud. her would-be deliyerer sits
down by Pussys side.
It is frank and very handsome face
which meets hers, as his dark eyes look
into blue ones with an irresistible,
mirthful laugh. In moment the gen
tleman is on his feet and Pussy, with
his help, soon stands beside him.
81 hope you are not hurt, the young
man says, as he Lifts his hat, his voice
grave, though his eyes still brim over
with fun.
"Not at ALL" Pussy answers; "but T
am on my way to the village, and I am
afraid If I go on I shall fall again. I
think I will turn back"
81 am going to the village myself,
and if you will allow me, will accom-
pany you as far as you CO."
"Oh, thank you," Pussy says, "I
shall not be at all afraid Of slipping COM
ing back, as it Will be up hill"
And so they walk off together, and be-
fore long, with the bonhomie of youth,
they are chatting together as though |
they had known each other weeks in
stead of moments. They part at the
postofice, which likewise is the reposi-
tory of all the needfuls of life, such as
sugar, teas, needles and pins, and such
Like commodities.
"I am ever so much obliged to you,"
Pussy says, earnestly, raising her soft,
innocent eyes to the handsome face cf
her escort.

a Fortunate Casualty.

A sweet voice comes lifting down the
stairs, light footsteps trip along the
hall to the sitting-room door, which
opens, while a face with mischievous
eyes, With floating curls falling all
about it in lustrous shower, looks in,
to start back in amaze at the sight Of
her mother in tears, and her sister doing
her best to soothe her-her own face not
wearing its usual calm expression.
All the sparkle dies out of the pretty
face as Pussy enters and goes to her
mothers side.
"What is it, mother dear? Has any
thing hsppenedg'
But the old lady sobs Oh, and it is
Sarah who answers, holding letter to
Pussy to read.

The next morning Mrs. Newton invited
her husband to take walk osSt7 without
specifying the direction. They soon stood
in front of the house in which he desired
to live.
Wouldn't you like to go in?" she
asked.
"Yes. It's pity we haven't got the
key"
6 have the key" said his wife, and
forthwith she walked up the steps and
proceeded to open the door.
"When did you get the key of Squire
Bent 2" asked her husband.
Yesterday when bought the house. y
said his wife quietly.
Mr.. Newton gazed at his wife in pro-
found astonishment,
"YOu bought the house! What do you
mean?"
Just what say. The house Is mine
and what is mine is thine. And so the
house is yours, Ezra"
"Where in the name of goodness did
you raise the money!" asked her husband
in amazement as great as ever.
81 haven't been a managing wife for tel
years for nothing" said Mrs, Newton
smiling.
With some difficulty Mrs. Newton
persuaded her husband that the price O
the house was really the result of hel
savings He felt when he surveyed thu
commodious arrangements of the new
house that he had reason to be grateful
for the prudence of his managing wife.

An Awful State Of Society.

Some idea of the condition of society
we should have, had we no school houses
or churches, may be imagined by reading
the following article
An old missionary once said to Rev.
John Waugh; Years ago I set out to
labor in Indiana. A friend, who had been
long resident, was with me to give me
such information as might be necessary.
| remarked that the land around US was
low and poor quality"
True" said he, 'but wait little, and
l will show you as handsome prairie as
God ever made"
We rode on, and gradually the land
spread out before us, rich in it's soil and
beautiful in its carpet of verdure.
do you see, )" said he, ''that brick house
yonder?"
yes"
"Well, the owner living in it has had
two sons hung. You see that large stone
house?"
Certainly"
"You may think it remarkable, but the
builder of it, who lives there, has two
sons in state prison. You cannot fail to
see that house on the left ?"
~ do"
"Well, the resident of that has had a
son hung. Farther on, do you see that
grove, and that house pretty we'll set

"Yes."

state prison, Over these you can see

eyes"
You may think it incredible, but the
man living there has also had a son hung"
The facts stated led me to ask my in
formant,
How came these things to happen
The record is black as any ever heard.
DO give me the explanation"
81 will do so in brief When I settled
on the other side of the marsh, those
people settled there. The land, as might
have been foreseen, proved very produc-
tive. They cultivated corn, wheat, oats
and planted orchards. The markets paid
good prices. They soon came to be
wealthy. The grain marketed in the fall
left them little to do in the winter; SC
they give themselves Np to dissipation
They built neither church nor school
house. Their children grew up idle
ignorant, and vicious. Their apples were
turned into cider; and their winter even
ings were given up to conviYiality, Soor
cider was not strong enough, and othel
intoxicants came into use. They haC
frequent parties, and these parties mean
drinking: and the drinking meant rev
elry the drunken revelry fight, and tn,
fight meant, too often, a murder. Thes,
are but the outlines. need not enlarg,
