Summer in Norway.

In the Norway summer, one comes
actually to yearn for q little Christian
darkness to 90 to bed by: much rs he
may crave strong sun by day, to
keep him warm, he would ike to have
reasonable night time Tor sleeping. At
first there is q stimulus, and a weird
sort of triumphant sense OF outwitting
nature, in finding ones self able to read
or to write by the SUMS light till nearly
midnight of the clock. But presently
it becomes clear that the outwitting is
on the other side. What avails it that
there is light enough Tor one to write
by at ten o clock at night. ii he is tired
out, does not want to write. and longs
for nothing but to 60 to sleep? lit

ing would be easier than to light can
dies and write all night, il he choose and
could pay for his candles. but neither
money nor ingenuity can compass for
him normal darkness to sleep in. The
Norwegian house is one half windows:
In their long winters they need all the
sun they can get; not an outside blind,
not an inside shutter, nor q dark shade,
to be seen; streaming, flooding, radiat.
ing In and round about the rooms, comes
the light, welcome or unwelcome, early
and late. And to the words "earlv''
and ''late' there are in q Norway sum
mer new meanings: tho early light
Of the summer morning sets in about
half past two; the late light of the sum-
mer evening fades into luminous
twilight about eleven. Enjoyment Of
this species ofperpetual day soon comes
to an end. After the traveller has
written home to everybody once by
broad daylight at ten o'clock, the fun
Of the thing is over: normal sleepiness
begins to hunger for its rights, and
dissatisfaction takes the place OF won
dering amusement. This dissatisfac.
ton reaches its climax in few days;
then. if he is wise, the traveller pro.
vides himself with several pieces Of
dark green cambria, which he pins up
at his windows at bedtime, thereby
making it possible to get seven or eight
hours rest for his tired eyes. But the
green cambria will not shut out sounds;
and he is lucky il he is not kept awake
until one or two O'Clock every night by
the unceasing tread and loud chatter
OF the cheerful Norwegians. who have
been forced to form the habit of sitting
up half their nighttime, to get in the
course Of year their full quota of day

The Thugs Of India.

there are none so dangerous as the fol-
lowers Of the Goddess Kali, more famil-
iarly known as Thugs. For over two
thousand years has this race existed,
working through dark and devious ways
its fearful record of crime. Like the
serpent, of which he is fit emblem, the
Thug is sinewy, slippery and eel-like in
his movements, carefully covering up
his traces, and leaving no indication as
to where he has been, or what route he
intends to pursue. As a companion he
Is desirable, making himself agreeable
and welcome to the very persons he in
tends sacrificing as propitiatory offer
ing to his ood-loving and murderous
deity. So firmly has this society held
together, 50 inviolable have the members
preserved their dread secret, 80 danger

munity, that they were courted in such
q way that nothing was permitted to be
said, written or done against them, 90
fearful were the native Governments of
drawing upon them and their subjects

power. The caste was known to exist.

emit. But no actual steps were taken for
the suppression Of thuggery till the year
1880. In 1910 the British power became
first alive to the fact that tho Thugs
were no myth begotten Of Hindoo fancy
and fairy-tale legend, but positive and
dangerous reality, who were daily,
nightly, nay, hourly, strangling unfor-
tnnate creatures, who happened to
chance their way. No surmise can be
correct as to the number of men, women
and children that have met their death
at the hands Of the Thug, but the best
authorities declare that It must be sev.
eral millions.
The Thugs practice murder as a priest
would . service. They do not murder
tor the sake of robbery, nor as . means
OF livelihood, but their religion requires
human sacrifice without the shedding Of
blood. So a Thug, before he can enter
upon the service Of his goddess, has to
study the art OF strangling. This is not
80 easy as It may at first sight appear.
Ostensibly the Thugs are thinkers, and in
that capacity travel throughout the
country. In order to preserve their Sc.
cret they 90 not let their wives know
the nature of their religion, believing
that a woman can not keep q secret.
The contracting parties on the male sile,
know, OF course. that they are giving
their daughter to Thug, for q Thug
would only give his child to one Of biz
own caste. But the woman is innocent
as to the character Of her spouse. She
has to assist in one crime, but that comes
easy to her, that is to Kill her female
children. This is accomplished by ad.

Solemn Autumn Thoughts,

There can be nothing sadder than the
solemn hush Uf nature that precedes
the death of the year. The golden
glory OF autumn, with tho billowy
bronzed and velvet azure of the skies
above the royal robes of oak and
maple bespeak the closing hours of
Natures teeming life and the silent
farewell to humanity's gauze under
wear. t1ee a.t
Thus while Nature dons her regal
robes of scarlet and gold in honor of
the farewell benefit to autumn, the sad
eyed poet steals swiftly away to the
neighboring clothes line, and in the
hour Of Natures grand blowout dons
the f'annels Of his friend out of respect
for the hectic flush OF the dying year.
Leaves have their time to fall, and SO
has the price of coal. And yet how
sadly at variance With decaying nature
is the TO ust coal market.
Another glorious summer with its
wealth of pleasant memories is stored
away among the archives of our history.
Another gloomy winter is upon u.s.
These wonderful colors that flame
across the sky of Indian summer, like
the CORY banner of q royal conqueror,
come but to warn us that in few short
weeks the water-pipe will be burst in

An alliance offensive and defensive
against the Polar regions has been

States will make Lady Franklin Bay

and Cape Barrow on the other. Russia
takes Nova Zembla and the mouth of
the Lena River; Holland is assigned to
Dickson Haven; England to Fort Simp-
son; Denmark to Godthaahm, in Green
land; Sweden to West Spitzbergen;
Norway to Finmarken, and Austria to
Jan Mayen Island. These ten stations
form q pretty close circle around the
North Pole. From these stations it is
expected the sledge journeys and other
surveys will be made. France goes to

Borrowing.

H.-al %.
Dear Girls. let me entreat you never
to form habit of borrowing borrow
ing in season and out Of season;
borrowing dresses and wraps, ribbons
and pins, scissors and thread, dimes
and pencils, until your friends will en-
pect to hear you say, Please. may
borrow" each time you look into their
rooms. Lending is real kindness,
and betokens an obliging spirit; but
borrowing shows careless management
and n o proper regard for the rights OF
others. 10 be sure, it is sometimes
necessary even v. tn the best regulated
household, wardrobe or work-box.
Still l have q real regard for those who
will deny themselves pleasure or put
off time of enjoyment rather than
borrow, But Of ali things, ,seuer ask
the loan of clothing! Some persons are
SO sensitive that ii they could afford it
they would rather throw away q gar
ment another had worn than appear in
it themselves. Although you may
think this foolish, you must bear in
mind that the garments belong to your
friend. and by asking to borrow them,
you force her TO choose between punish
ing herself with complying or Offend
ing you with a denial. 1sl5S lgs

Screws and Can Caps.

A few days since the cook came to us
with can glass of peaches, the cap of
which was screwed on so tight that a
strong man had been unable to unscrew
it. We directed that a cloth dipped in
hot water be applied to the outside OF
the cap, to cause expansion by the heat
This was done, and It so affectually
loosened the cap that it came off with
no effort. We have tried this principle
on many other occasions. The ground
shoppers of bottles sometimes are found
immovably fast. In this case the heat
must be applied to the neck of the bottle,
so as to increase its size and leave the
stopper loosened within it. Care should
always be taken that the ground stopper
when inserted is not colder than the bot
tie neck, for if it is you will have troub-
lie. 1t will expand when it becomes as
warm as the bottle and be efIectually
fastened. In one case when we had en-
ployed horsepower in saving wood,
the weather being quite cold, one of the
workmen had occasion to take Off a nut
from screw, and after holding it long
enough in his hand to warm and eX-
pand it, he placed it again without
thinking on the screw and turned it
firmly down. 1t contracted in cooling
with a powerful grasp, so that no
wrench could stir it, until red hot iron
was applied to the nut to restore its size.
In all these attempts the right space of
time must be given to heat the nut or
stopper, without heating the part which
it touches, which requires some judg-
ment. The metallic can caps will heat
sooner than bottle neck. If the heat is
continued too long all will become ex-
panded like, and the attempt will fail.
Some years ago it became necessary to
unscrew the two parts of an iron pump
for repair, but the rust held them so
stoutly together that three men with
levers could not separate them. We di-
rected the application of strong heat to
the outer tube, and before the heat could
reach the inner a force not exceeding ten
pounds separated them easily. All of
which shows that ones wits are some
times better than brute force.
