Norwegian Beds.

Norway Correspondence st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
The bedrooms in all the Norwegian inns are
the same small boxes mot large enough to swing
a cherry in. Throughout Norway the beds are
the same little narrow collins, no wider than q
steamer berth, with the same high sides, pre-
sumably to keep one from falling out, it he
should incautiously move or turn during the
night. To add to the torment of these berths,
the pillow is a fiat leather thing that you could
put in your pocket, and beneath it turks a
broad wedge-shaped bolster arrangement that
keeps one sliding down to the foot board, unless
he can retain his place by bracing at full length
at an angle and attitude that the human frame
only assumes on an undertakers or dissect-
ing table. In one Norwegian inn where the
busting maid wanted to do her kindest she
put u wedge at the head and foot of my berth
and dreamed that lay In a hammock that
touched the ground. The white spread that
covers the bed in the day time like u pail or a
sheet on sweeping day, is carefully put away at
night, and one struggles with quilts or blankets
that are always too short and loo wide tor the
narrow bunk, and can never be made fast at
the fOOtbOard. These are minor things, how
ever, that one CONTENDS with every where in the
towns, villages and on freQuented roads, ana ne
must GO off the beaten track to find the true
Norwegian bed that Is only tour feet long very
narrow ana built into the side of the room
where it can be shut up like q cupboard all day
long. Al Nystuen there was an exacting Eng
lishman six feet In stature, who insisted ON
seeing the beds before he would take his traps
of his csrriole. He found them many inches
too short tor his gaunt frame, ana drove on TO
the next place tor the night.

WedyeG I'm a Rocky Crevice.

DEATH OF Mr.. FARLEY-NARRow ESCAPE OF
HIS LITTLE son AT PASSAIC FALLS.
The New York Sun Oct. %, says: In a by-gone
age some CONFUSION OF the earth split of a
gigantic piece of solid trap rock three or four
hundred feet long and fifty feet wide at Passaic
Falls, Paterson, from the precipitous rock at the

narrows down to nothing about eighty ieet be-
low. 1t has, however, been partly filled with
earth and leaves, SO that the bottom of the
opening Is about foot wide. A little foot

His loot slipped and he and the Guild went

tightly that he could hardly breathe. He kept
hold OF the child, however and the latter was
brought assistance. A boy was let down with
a rope, and he fastened another rope around
the child and it was pulled out. Then the boy
was lowered into the crevice again, and after
much trouble "A rope was fastened around MIR.

From the Lewiston tMe.) Journal
Somebody told the story OF Hugh NJ, who
died in Durham 40 years ago. He was de-
termined man and very penurious. He died
at an advanced age. On his death bed he kept
his right hand closely clutched. As he drew his
last breath he frightened his hold. Everybody
there knew what he held. IL was the key 10 the
chest in which he kept his gold. AS his nerve
less hands Enclosed, the key dropped from them
and Gathered against the bedside. As IL 10 hold
il even after his soul had passed away, the
mlser had tied the key about his wrist by q
strong cord and had grasped il as long lille
manned. He had wanted TO take his gold with
him. They buried him he was, with the key
to his money chest dangling about his wrist,
and to-day the key is In his grave, turned TO
rust probably. "And what became OF the gold?"
'Oh, the heirs took care OF that just the same.
They split open the chest with axe aud di.
vided the gold and let the miser sleep on with
the KEY about his wrist"

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Mi. Kohl, OF the Vine street Dime Museum,
tells an interesting story in regard to Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, the female anarchist whose sensa-
tional and infiammatory utterances in this city
within the past week have attracted SD much
attention. About two weeks ago she applied 10
him in Chicago for position among the freaks
which make MS museum in the windy city at
tractive. She said she thought that, since her
husband and his companions had been sem
fenced 10 be hanged after such a sensational
trial, she would be "a taking card-one OF the
best attractions, in fact, in the establishment
She proposed 10 be paid "A salary and desired
the privilege OF selling portraits OF herself aud
the condemned anarchists and copies OF the
speeches made at the Hay market meeting. The
profits OF these sales she intended 10 take for
her own purposes, and consented 10 deliver ad.
dresses an additional inducement TO the
public to come and see her and the other freaks.
Messrs. Kohl & Middleton had the offer under
advisement TOR some time, and she paid them
several visits, urging their acceptance OF her
proposition. After thinking the matter over
the firm concluded that the interest taken by
the public in the case OF the anarchists was not
OF that healthy nature which would make the
wife of the leader OF the revoutionists good
and taking feature In q dime museum, and
Mrs. Parsons offer refused.

The Jones County Calf Case.

The famous Jones county calf case has just
been disposed OF by the supreme court OF Iowa.
This is one Of the most remarkable cases on the
records OF American courts. and furnishes u
striking illustration OF what an expensive lux
ury little satisfaction obtained in legal form
may prove to be. Twelve years ago Green
county farmer went to Jones county and bought
some calves OF u man named johnson. They
we-e probably stolen. but johnson claimed TO
have bought them from a third party. john
son was prosecuted by the Anti-Horse Thief
association, but was acquitted. He sued ior
$4,000 damages, and tue case has been tried
i've times, and each time, except ~ee. he has
received q verdict for from $4,000 TO $s.bOO,
which was always set aside he Appealed TO
the supreme court, aud the verdict has been re-
versed, giving him no damages. The court
costs are now IS, 500, while the Other expenses
several persons have been ruined by the ex-
penses OF the case. The value Of the calves was
$50.

A FACETIOUS YOUNG NAN HAD HER REGISTERED
AS A JOKE.
When Mrs. Emma BecKwith, of the fourth
ward OF Brooklyn last week awoke to the fact
that baking and stitching were not the sole
mission in life, but that she owed a greater
duty to her country, she presented herself at
the registry office of her district and demanded
to be enrolled as a voter. The clerks were
puzzled, but a facetious youth among them
insisted that she be registered as joke. This
was done; and now, TO the horror OF the lace
tious young man. she proposes to prove it is no
joking matter. She has invoked the laws and
the board OIL elections and says that she will
vote on election day though all TIE political
forces OF the city be arrayed against her. And
SO the matter stands. the people at large are
looking on with more than ordinary interest
but the young man with the sense OF humor
and his colleagues are going about weig tied
down with a load of woe.

The Way TO Read Probably.
ToH,


Nobody can be sure that he has got clear ideas
on a subject unless he has tried to put them
down on a piece Of paper in independen mt words
of his own. 1t is an excellent plan, too. when
you have read good book, to sit down and
write a short abstract Of what you can remem
Der OF II. 1t Is still better plan, IL you can
make up your minds to q slight extra labor to
do what LORD Stafford and Gibbon and Daniel
Webster did. After glancing over the title,
subject or design OF book, these eminent men
would take up pen and write roughly what
questions they expected to find answered In IL,
what difficulties solved. what kind OF iniorma-
ton impaired. such practices keep us from
reading with the eye only, gliding vaguely over
the page, and they help US 70 place our new &C
fore. Ideas, relations. statements of fact are
not to be taken by storm. We have to steep
them in the mind In the hope of thus extract
Ing their Utmost essence and signidcance. II
one lets an interval pass and then returns, L. II
which, when we Len Il, seemed, crude, obscure,
full Of perplexity.

that some OF the many farm buildings situated
along the foot of the mountains would be
burned. Owing to the drouth-no rain having
