Stories of Lord DIVERSION

All the world has been talking for the
last week of Lord Overstone, who has
just died, as though he was only gi-
ant money man--one Of the half-dozen
observation-disclosures at the head of this
age OF money getting. He was really
much more than this, and his colossal
wealth was after all, more of an acct
dent than the result of his own indus
try or attention to business. He at any
rate did not begin with the single half
crown, as most millonaires wish us to
believe they did. for his father started
him with the trihe of $l5,000,000 just
forty years ago. So that, if he had
gone to sleep with this comfortable in
heritance sown and planted as it stood.
he would still have reaped the golden
harvest of fabulous wealth he has now
left behind. But he was. singularly
wide awake monetarian and born
banker. although mere money-getting
was never his bent, and he had not a
spark Of the vulgar greed for gain,
AS the greatest authority upon cur
rency questions and finance. Lord
Overstone was always ready to
advise the government and nat
urally expected to have the cred
it of his views, but he declined
Office. He was, however, once taken
by surprise when Mr.. Spring Rice, then
chancellor of the exchequer (who be-
came Lord Monteagle), called upon
him to ask his opinion on certain i'm
portant points, and, after hearing a
lucid full statement on the subject,
went down to the house and delivered
himself of what was supposed to be an
original speech the gist of which was,
however, word for word, what he had
learnt from Lord Overstone. If he for
gave this he never forgot it.
Lord Overstone was a charming host,
and his conversation ranged over
wide field of interest, rich with his ex-
tensive reading and enlivened with apt
quotations from Wordsworth or Pope.
As an old man he was full of endless
anecdotes of people and things he had
seen, and he told good story with the
most delightful humor. The long-re-
tanned freshness of his mind and quick
memory gave him the brightest charm
OF green old age, and though of late
years. after the loss of the accomplished
and amiable Lady Overstone, a certain
sadness and gravity somewhat over
Swallowed his cheerful manner, yet this
wore of as he warmed with the discuss
ion OF passing events, which he follow
ed with never-failing interest almost to
the last. London Truth.

IN NOR WAY.
Professor Thwing's Interesting De-
scription OF Scenes In Norway.

Rev. E. p. Thwing, in Die Lewis'
Monthly, gives several interesting pict-
ures of life in Norway:
Lyderhorn looked down from its Sc
rene heights. crowned with sunshine,
and mellow Sabbath bells filed the
morning air with music, as we steamed
into the Port OF Bergen, where we re-
NAMED until Monday afternoon. This
seven hilled town is one of the Oldest
in Norway, and its name signifies "a
meadow among the mountains" 1t
was a royal residence 800 years ago,
and the most important land and naval
battles of subsequent centuries were
fought here. 1t had thirty churches
and monasteries. The Hanseatic League
gave impulse to its traffic, and Bergen
became the largest and busiest center
in the kingdom.
Its picturesque situation charmed
me. | shall never forget the sweet
tranquility of that June morning, as
we entered Bergen. have spent five
summers abroad and seen much OF
European scenery. from the Hobrides
to Venice, from st, Petersburg to
Madrid and beyond, but few points of
more alluring loveliness have arrested
my attention than that old Norwegian
seaport, with its noble amphitheater OF
hills and its smiling envirOns, lying
warm and bright under those cloudless
Sabbath skies.
Three things make summer excur-
sion along the coast of Norway most
enticing to a. traveller. The scenic
grandeur Of those stern, solemn, awe
inspiring mountains, austere and bold,
and glorious in their strength and soil
tude, is the first. Their gray and mel
ancholy peaks often rise sheer and
clear from the tiords to considerable
height, and presents sometimes weird
and fantastic shape, as at the
LoFODEN ISLANDS.
with their countless pinnacles, COM
pared to sharks teeth, or the Seven
Sisters, 1900 feet high, that seem to
clasp each other with frosty fingers in
the upper air; or most notable of all,
perhaps, the Giant Horseman, under
llc hlCtlC SllC4c, d Ill stCi NUS pltscuCc
that every Norseman feels, and in which
he has superstitious awe. This sug-
gests another element, the historic and
legendary interest attaching to these
localities. The old Vikings have left
their memorials on sea and shore 1t
is delightful to look at this grand
scenery through the misty perspective
of romance and mythology. But more
than all is the bewitching beauty of
ceaseless day, which invests with a
subtle charm that which otherwise
might be bleak, bare and chilling. The
fine gradations of color in sky and sea,
on mountain and moor, the atmospheric
conditions in these high ATTITUDES where
there is no night, give plenary and
browning glory to the view.
To tell the attractions of this town of
Bergen would require book. To the
lover of antiquity the museum affords
materials for frequent and prolonged
study; to the lover of art there is the
gallery Of paintings by native artists;
TO the philanthropist the oldest and
largest hospital for lepers in Europe is
full OF interest, and to one who studies
social and church life, the Norwegian
Sabbath congregations and worship
present many suggestive features.

THE MORAL OF TT.

We may moralize as much as we
please about pain; but the fact IS,
that we don't like it while it lasts,
and that we want to get rid of it as
soon as we can. Whether caused by
rheumatism, govt, disordered liver,
weak nerves, irregular kidneys, bad
blood, or anything else that is just
the reverse ofwhat it should be, the
sooner it is out Of the system the
happier we are. Whether pain is
the result Of imprudence or Of acct
dent, or is sent as a punishment for
oar sins. may be nice question for
the philosophers to argue; but PEG.
pie who are suffering want first to
Be nd Of the pain, after which those
whoarefond ofargumentmayargue
the matter to their hearts content.
Above all theory, argument and
philosophy, comes the delightful
TACT that BRowN's IRON BITTERs
drives pain away. Sufferers run no
risk in trying this medicine, the only
compound containing iron which
carries no mischief with it. Those
who have used it will tell you so;
and you can try for yourselfbybuy-
ing a bottle ofthe nearest druggist.

Sleep.

Men, women and children require
just so much sleep, and if they do not
have it, suffer in consequence. do
not think person should be walked in
the morning, and for this reason, when
man falls asleep he Is in the shop for
repairs, as the railroad men say. His
frame and all its intricate machinery is
being overhauled and made ready for
the next days work. The wear Of the
previous day Is being repaired. Nat
ure is doing that herself. She knows
what the tired frame needs just as she
knows how to make the heart throb,
and send the blood coursing through
the veins. Then she takes that tired
frame, lays 1t down on bed, surrounds
it with the refreshing air of night,
covers it with the soft darkness and
lets the man rest. Tired natures
sweet restorer, balmy Sleep" visits
him, and as the hours wear by his
energies are renewed. his strength
comes back, and finally when morning
breaks and the sunlight steals through
the lattice, he opens his eyes and is
himself again. Or If he Is early to bed
ne awakes with the cocks Growing
Now who shall go to that mans side
an hour before he opens his eyes, and
say TO nature, stand aside and let him
get up; he has had enough of restp
Well, nature will say, "You can take
him If you will, but l will charge him
with an hours loss of sleep, and I'll
collect it out Of his bones and nerves
and his hair and eyesight. You can't
cheat me. I'll find property to levy

About Eve.

Eve had pretty good time of it, taking
all things into consideration.
Eve never had occasion to weep because
there was not one day in the week clear
enough to hang the washing out.
Eve never found an empty Envelope in
Adams coat pocket directed to Adam in
feminine hand, and post marked "Chi-
cago."
Eve never had to smell Adams breath
at midnight's holy hour to learn if he was
still steadfastly keeping his New Years
resolution.
Eve never heard Adam turn restlessly
as he slumbered and murnur in a low
and soft but distinct tone, Gail me pet
names, Elizabeth Ann"
Eve never found a coffee grain in the
pocket OF Adams Sunday vest and had to
wonder all the rest of the day why he
carried coffee about with him.
Eve never had to cut off the fire wood
while Adam was down at the grocery
store telling the congregation what Won
derful man his grandfather was in heavy
timber at a chopping frolic.
Eve never had to sit uphill three o'clock
in the morning for Adam, and then have
him come in with the top out OF his hat, a
patch of skin off his nose and his neck
bow around under his left ear.
