Americans cannot but be interested in
all that relates TO Norway and the Nor
wegians The old Norsemen who visited
our shores some five centuries before ColHm-
bus discovered the New Worlc, have trans.
mitted TO their descendants many of the
sterling qualities that made them once pre-
eminent in Northern Europe, and the curl
Gus student who pores over the Scanty re-
cords of their voyages TO North America,
should visit the land of their descendants,
who are still hardy race, and who have
10 surprising degree adhered TO their Ian
guage and habits, their dress and archltcc-
ture, naval as well as ecclesias ical.
While steaming down the Sogne ford
our vessel would occasionally touch a, the
fishing hamlets clinging 10 the mountain
sides, and sometimes looking as if ready TO
drop into the dark deep waters beneath.
Boatloads Of villagers came off and sur
rounded our steamer, and almost invariably
the glrle and young women, with bright,
comely faces, crowded some of the boats
with one or 1--WE boys TO row them), while
others would be filed with boys and young
men. On the shore stood groups of ma
irons with their babies in their arms, watch
ing the weekly or fortnightly visitor, and
rows of maidens standing nand in hand
gazed at our craft, while the young men
and boys stood apart by themselves. There
seemed to be little of that intimacy betweeL
the young people of both sexes which is so
common with us; while, on the other hand,
there was none of the precocity of super
annuated boyhood, and OF coquetry In the
girls, that is too apparent among American
youth. Naturally enough, when the sexes
do come together, the courtship is brief.
Love at first sight, followed by a speedy
wedding, results in happy unions, that re-
main so throughout life. Welded happi-
ness, we were told on g nod authority Is the
rule and not the exception. Once married,
the husband and wife always remain ar
dent lovers.
Life does not seem to press hard upon
the average Norwegian. He Is fond of his
wife, loves good liquors, and is a conser-
vatlve in sociology. He is polite in GER
tain ways, removing his hat and bowing
low to his superiors or equals, but strange
ly brusque and wanting in consideration
at times. He has a decided weakness for
foreigners, especially Americans and Eng
lishmen, trait of an isolated and untrav-
eled race; for if one appear in some remote
inlsn hamlet or seaport, he is stared at
and commented upon as though a rare
specimen of natural history. The patriot
ism Is of good quality, and in sturdlly
main aiming the good old ways of "Gamle
Norge" (Old Norway the Norseman leans
little to conservatism, and but slowly
adapts himself 10 altered circumstances.

A love of the chase Is inherent In thu
bold men of the Tyrol, and sport is fur
nlshed TO the intrepid hunter by severa
varieties of game birds Among these are
the black cock and the golden eagle. The
black cock belongs to the grouse species,
and the sport requires great hardihood anC
patience and an accurate knowledge of his
peculiarities. Like the pinnated grouse Of
our prairies, he is polygamous; but, un.
like them, Is shot during the pairing sea
son, the hens being carefully spared. The
descriptions the hunters give of the love
sick bird strutting and gamboling around
the base of tree for the edi6cation of the
hens who crowd around their lord and mas
ter are ludlcrous in the extreme. His long
song, which consists of three distinct notes
repeated constantly at more or less regular
intervals, is frequently his rum, for in the
midst of his ecstacies, during the execu
tion of the third note, he is inSensIbe G to
danger and becomes an easy prey to the
rifle of the expert huntsman. OF course il
you adopt the English idea of sport, you
can build a miniature hut or blind of
bushes in the course of the day, close to
the tree selected by the jealous old cock
for his morning song, patiently await the
advent of the game, and then murder him
in cold blood. But this is far different
from the genuine sport, where foot and
hand, eye and ear, are ON the alert To take
advantage of any indiscretion of your
quick-witted opponent. 1t is contest be-
tween the acute intellect of the featherless
biped and the keen instinct of his feathered
prototype. The golden eagle, the tiger of
his race. is occasionally seen circling
around his eyrie among the lofty crags,
and his young are sometimes captured by
the intrepid hunter. They are Of immense
size, sometimes measuring eight feet from
tip to tip of the wings. and are the great
est foes of the chamois and roe buck, as
well as the farmers stock of young pigs,
kids and lambs Ihad the pleasurable sx-
citement of seeing one of these rapaclous
birds carrying off young chamois, which
he had swooped down upon with resistless
fury, and by the mere force of the concus-
sion hurled down the abyss, at the brink of
which 1t happened TO be feeding. Several
times the great weight of the prey obliged
him TO loosen his hold upon it while cir
cling at terrible height over ravine and
peak. AS it fell, the eagle darted after it,
and catching it In his claws, and sinking
thirty or forty feet by the mere impetu-
osity of his downward flight, he spread his
mighty wings TO their widest extent and
resumed his circling ascent, with his prey
firmly clutched In his strong talons.

Snap and Shakespeare


''Once, during the days OF my early
struggle in the profession" said Edwin
Booth, "and while we were barn storming
down in Virginia, an odd thing happened
which illustrates the shifts TO which the
poor player was then put in order to ge
along. We were playing showing they
called it-one night at little place called
lees Landing, ana the tobacco warehouse
we had improvlsed into theatre was
crowded with planters for miles around.
We had arranged to take the weekly
steamer which they expected would touch
there late that night. and between the acts
were all busy packing up. The play was
The Merchant Of Venice, and we were
just going on for the court scene, where the
Jew insists on his pound of flesh, when we
heard whistle blow, and the manager
came running in to say that the steamer had
arrived ahead of time and would leave
again in ten minutes.
"As thai was our only chance of getting
down 10 the Chesapeake, we were natur.
ally in terrible quandary If we stop
right here and explain, said the manager,
the audience will think they are being
cheated, and go in for free fight. The
only thing we can do is for you fellows to
get up some sort of nAtural-like i'm
promptu ending for the piece and ring
down the drop. Go right ahead ladies and
gentlemen, and take your cue from Ned,
here, and he hurried away TO get the lug
gage on board.
IF it had been in any other quarter of
the country wouldn't have had the assur-
ance to do as he said, but the ignorance of
the clay eaters, or ordinary VTginians Of
hose days was something marvellous so
when old George Rugglcs, ho was doing
Shylock,' got to where hE sharpens his
kni e on his shoes, | walked solemnly up
TO him and said:
you're bound to have the flesh, are
you 7"
"'You bet your life, said George, under
the impression that he wss improvising
very skillfully indeed.
"Now, I'll make you one more dicker," "
continued. sin addition TO this bag of

Origin OF Names.

1t is not generally known that the Hud-
son is called North River In contradistinc-
ton to the South River, as the Delaware
was formerly styled. Massachusetts, was
so dubbed because in the aboriginal tongue
it meant ''about the great hiIs"-that is,
the Blue Hills. Boston, named after the
English city, was originally st. Bardolph's
town, of which Boston is an abbreviated
corruption. Albany was so chrlstened i'm
honor of the Duke of York and Albany
(aiterward James IL), at the time
it came into the possession of the English
Q664). Catskill is the Dutch for panther
or lynx, which once infested those mount
aims. Cattaraugus was so designated by
the Indians because they had, for some
mysterious reason, associated it with un-
pleasant odors. 1t means ill-smelling shore.
This is not so bad as. Chicago, an Indian
word, signItying stencil, which, judging
from the complaints in Chicago papers of
the city's fragrance, would seem to have
been properly named. Chemung means
big horn, from fossil tusk found in the
river. Crown Point is said to have been
SO called because scalping parties were sent
thence by the French and Indians. Erie
signifies wild cat (the Erie Railway has
C rtainly been a ''wlld ca" road, as the
expression is understood in the West), and
was borne by fierce tribe of savages ex-
terminated by the Iroquois. Manhattan IS
eminently fitted for the metropolis, its i'm
port being town on the island. Mohawk
was applied by the New England tribes to
the Iroquois, from their habit of eating
live food. NIAGARA means neck of water;
Oneida, people of the beacon stones Onon-
daga, place of the hills; Saratoga, place of
the miraculous waters IN a rock Ontario,
a village ON a mountain-the chief seat of
the Onondagas; Schenectady, river valley
beyond the pine trees Seneca (not classic,
as many have supposed) isa corrupt Indian
pronunciation of the Dutch word cinnabar
-veImilion. Jersey is a corruption of
Cesarea, the old Latin name of the largest
of the Channel Islands, and very unlike
our sister State, which got its title perhaps
by contrast. Passaic Signihes valley.

Newspapers as Feer-Mrap..

Complaining Of the misery of a long
journey the other day TO friend, without
any foot-warmers in the carriage, and the
consequent pain of cold feet, she told me
that she had practical lesson given to her
by a well known correspondent on that very
matter. They were making long journey
together in bitter weather and could get no
hot-water tins put into their carriage. He
at once told her not to regret the deficiency
for his newspaper would more than CON-
pensate for it. So he took off her boots.
and, tearing his paper in half, wrapped
each foot carefully up In the paper. In a
few minutes circulation seemed TO return
to her benumbed feet, and she assured me
she arrived at the end of her Journey in
perfect comfort, and with warm feet. Such
a lesson was not to be lost, and my friend
told me that she had resorted to the same
experiment several times with like results.
l account for the fact by the same reasons
have given for the extra warmth of loose
clothing generally. The boots fit tightly,
possibly, and prevent free circulation Of
warm air outside, and. perhaps, compress
the circulation of the blood inside the foot.
When these are removed the paper pre-
vents evaporation of any animal heat that
is generated, and allows the foot to be sur
rounded, as Il were. with bath of hot air.

Bose and sam.

You Know Bose, who lived at Squire
Horizons on the hilll He was a large,
gray, shaggy dog. Sam was a small, yel-
low terrier, and his home was in the
village.
One day Bose was near Sans house,
when he all at once grew sick. He lay
down and cried, and the big tears ran down
his cheek.
Little Sam came up, and l think he asked
Bose how he felt, for soon Bose rose up
and tried to walk home. Sam ran by his
side, and now and then jumped and barked
as if to help poor Bose to bear his pam.
Bose lay down To rest two or three times,
and Sam lay down with him.
AT last they reached Squire Horizons,
and Sam barked till Jane came TO the door
and took care of Bose. Then Sam ran
home.
The day after he came to see Bose and
tneer him up. Then he came again the
next day, and ran about the house and the
uarn, but could not find his friend.
Poor Bose was dead After time Sam
found his grave, and there he laid down
and howled. But he soon went back to his
home, and he did not go to Squire Horton s
any more.

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

A foreign paper says that cheese is made
from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony.
After having collected quantity of potat
oes of good quality, giving the preference
to large white kind, they are boiled IN a
caldron and after becoming cool they are
reduced to pulp, either by means of a
crater or mortar. To five pounds of this
pulp, which ought to be es equal as
possible, is added one pound of sour milk
and the necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together and the mixture
covered up and allowed to lie for three or
four days, according to the season. AT
the end of this time it is kneaded anew,
and the cheeses are placed in little baskets,
when the superfuous moisture escapes.
They are then allowed to dry in the shade,
and placed in layers in large vessels, where
they must remain for fifteen days. The
oldest these cheeses are the more their
quality improves. Three kinds are
made. The first and most common is
made as detailed above; the second, with
four parts of potatoes and two parts OF
curded milk; the third with two parts OF
potatoes and four parts of COW or eve
mllk These cheeses have this advantage
over other kinds, and they do not engender
worms; and they keep fresh for number
of years, provided they are placed in dry
situation and in weu-closed vessels.

The art OF dress comprises color, texture,
form and ornamentation. The first consid-
Grafton should be directed to color. The
accepting OF fashionable shades, without
any regard 10 the claims of complexion, is
great error, and the result Is rarely cor
rect. BY chance one may, sometimes make
a good hit in such matters, although by ac-
C dent some of the best things in existence
have come to light. Red, this season, is
quite favorite, and can be worn by the
blonde and the brunette, but the former
must exercise little discretion in adopt
ing to any profusion this telling dye. The
blonde who can befttingly adorn herself in
scarlet trimmings, and especially where
the hue is in close proximity TO the COM
plexion, should be very fair; a clear white
skin will beautifully reflect the brightness
OF the scarlet; whereas, a face that has a
yellowish hue, or rather ford aspect,
should never appear to favor scarlet; if this
color is worn at all by such, let it be far
away from the face, except when arranged
in an evening toilet. A brunette cannot
wear pale-green, which is most becoming
to the fair beauty. Orange is the brunette's
own color; but if the dark belle has blue
eyes this dazzling shade will not enhance
her appearance. The color of the toilet
should be of that nature to impart cal
thy tone to the complexion. This idea
when effectualIy produced has a very sat
isfactOry result. Avoid wearing those col
ors that heighten or destroy either the red,
yellow or white in the natural flesh tints.

Useful Law Hints

A note dated on Sunday is void. If a
note be lost or stolen il does not release
the maker he must pay it. An indorser
of a note is exempt from liability if not
served with notice of its dishonor within
twenty-four hours of its nonpayment.
Each individual IN partnership is respon-
sible for the whole amount of the debts of
the firm, except in cases of special part
nership. Ignorance of law excuses no one.
An agreement without consideration. is
void. Signatures in lead pencil are good
in law. A receipt for money is not legal
ly conclusive. Contracts made on Sun
day cannot be enforced. A contract made
with minor is workable. A contract made
with lunatic is void. Checks or draughts
must he presented for payment without un-
reasonable delay.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BERN.

II might have been that the sky WAS green
and the grass serenely blue;
1t might have been that grapes on thorns and
figs on thistles grew;
1t might have been that rainbows before the
showers came;
1t might have been that lambs were fierce
and bears and lions tame;
It might have been that cold would melt, and
summer heat would freeze;
1t might have been that ships at sea would
sail against the breeze
And there may be worlds unknown, dear,
where we would find the change
From all that we have seen or heard, to others
Just As strange
But it never could be wise, dear in haste TO
act or speak;
1t never could be noble to harm the poor and
weak;
1t never could be Gind, dear. to give Il need
less pain;
It never could be honest dear, to sin for
greed of gain;
And there could not be world dear. while

At all Oil City hotel boards father and

staying out later than his father liked, and
one day the latter said: 'My son, the rule

''Y es, SIR" said the obedient son.
A night or two afterward the father was
detained by his business until nearly eleven

the inside bolt drawn. He knocked and
was soon answered with: who's there2"
