BOUND HAND AND FOOT.

The Wichita EAGLE wisely suggests that
the nominations for the four new congress
men be made in the state convention and
not by districts. Should the selection be
left to the districts, one would go east to
start with, in Haskell's district. Then in
Anderson's district the advantage would be
in favor of the east end which would give
two OF the four to the east, making one
more than they would be entitled to under a
fair apportionmcnt next winter. And as
the districts will be formed before the new
members reach congress the question Of To-
cation should cut a. considerable figure

SWEDISH GIRLS.

correspondent of the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin, travelling in Sweden, writes !:
i was decidedly astonished not to find the
Swedes almost exclusively blends, for the
prettiest Swedish women saw were nearly
all brunettes. A slight fee, which by the
way is unnecessary, earned me a hearty
hand clasp and many warm expressions of
gratitude as | said good bye. This custom
of hand shaking at the receipt of a gift is
very common more in Norway than Swed-
en-and is certainly very pleasant to the CIV
er. Another little politeness that noticed
all through Scandinavia was the well nigh
universal practice by gentlemen of raising
the hat when bowling, regardless of the sex
of the person addressed a decided improve
ment on the brusque nod of Anglo. Saxons
on both sides of the ocean. Another evil
dence of culture is the general ability to
speak foreign languages, especially English.
This is by no means confined 10 the upper
class, for in remote valleys and stations
peasants and postboys would address me in
my native tongue, and sometimes politely
wonder that could not speak theirs. For
an ordinary traveller courier is an unneces-
sary appendage.
