Norwegian Traits.

The inluisitiveness OF the Norwegians
increased, if possible, as we advanced.
But they never tell you anything in re-
turn for what they elicit. They are re-
served as they are curious. Only one
woman, designated in the guide-books
as the friendly landlady," offered any
information about herself. She was a
Dane by birth, SO she hardly counts.
They are very honorable race, almost
never try to take any advantage of YOU,
are always kindly and well-meaning.
When you give fee its recipient gives
funny little "bob,n and then offers
you his or her hand, shooting it out at
you from the shoulder like pump
handle. After we discovered this Gus
tom we took care TO put on gloves be-
fore paying, for the farther we went
the dirtier the people became. AS for
smells, Italy and Spain together can
not present such combination of in
suferable odors as Norwegian guard
can furnish in i've minutes. How they
can exist in the stencil and dirt of their
own rooms which they do not care for
as they do for those of strangers who
visit them, and how they can live and
thrive on such food as they have is al
most inconceivable. Yet / suppose
what we saw was luxury compared to
what might be found in still more soli-
tary spots where families live on fish
alone the whole year round, and find
shelter in miserable little dwelling
perched upon some Ledge on n noun
tain or on scrap of beach with no APP
parent means of communication with
any other point of the known world.
It is 4 thousand times worse than it
ever can be in the southern countries,
for they have warmth and light, and
the physical necessities are few. Here,
in addition TO all other privations, cold
and darkness reign at least three-quar-
tiers OF the year. The Norwegians are
wonderfully honest people. As we
were driving along one day, we saw
two umbrellas hanging on the branch
of 4 tree. Some people not caring to
be incumbered with them had left
them there till they should pass that
way again. Although il was raining
no one thought of touching them. An
English lady told US that going for q
walk one day, she found her fur-ined
silk cloak too heavy and remarked that
she wished that she had left it at home.
Take it of, " said Norwegian friend
who was with her, land hang it on
this tree" She did so, and when she
returned two hours later, there it still
remained. Yet these admirable quail
ties arc hardly more advantageous TO
the traveller than the universal slack
ness and slowness are trying. Cor.

A sad Case.

The most tragic events will present
themselves 10 the ordinary mind tinged
with 4 certain personal application,
sometimes very grotesque in its express
sion. On the occasion Of a recent hom-
icide which occurred at leading res
taurant in this city this fact was some
what amusingly illustrated. A custom
er, pausing ut the window, was aid
dressed by the affable and polite
French woman who presides over the
receiving department Pale as death,
and evidently nearly Frustrated by the
shocking event. she proceeded, with
Gallo volubility, 10 relate the harrow
ing details. Her auditor was quite inn
pressed with the sympathy exhibited,
but his appreciation was slightly nodi-
lied by the concluding remarA. Mourn
tully shaking her head and wiping the
tears from her bright eyes madame
added ia \ voice trembling with emo
ton: Yes. il was very dreadful. The
house was full and everybody ran out,

Justice always falls on somebody in

ened his assistant with prosecution on
the charge OF stealing 27scents. where
upon the accused man took opium. An
official investigation was ordered, but

severely whipped.
1t is said that the first restrictive
liquor law ever passed in this country

lover, not to Kill him, but TO tic him
firmly to her apron strings. She mar
ried Jim Lums at Mapping. Lums
was Dutch sailor, who squandered
her money and then ran off and left
her. She donned mans clothing and
pursued, enlisting as a marine and do

had been executed for murder, she re-
turned to Mapping and long kept a

The Age of Glass.

AS far as research can determine
glass was in use 1000 years Il. c., and
was, even then, not in its infancy. In
the SladS collection of tho British
Museum there is little moulded lions
head, bearing the name OF an Egyptian
king of the eleventh dynasty, and this
is the oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like date. A recent
writer says that the invention of glaz-
ing pottery with film of varnish or
glass is so old that, among the frag-
ments which bear inscriptions OF the
early Egyptian monarchy. are beads
possibly of the first dynasty. OF later
glass there are numerous examples,
such as bead found at Thebes. which
has the name of Queen Hatasoo or
Hashep, of the eighteenth dynasty. OF
the same period are vases and goblets
and many fragments. DIR. Schliemann
found disks of glass in the excavations
at Mycen@, though Homer does not
mention it as a substance known to
him. That the modern art of the glass
blower was known long before is GER
tain, from representations among the
pictures Oh the walls of tomb at Benz
Hassan, of the twelfth Egyptian dynas-
ty; but much older picture, which
probably represented the same manu-
facture, is among the half-obliterated
scenes in chamber OF the tomb of Thy
at Sakkara, and dates from the time OF
the fifth dynasty, time so remote that
it is not possible, in spite of the assid-
uous researches of many Egyptologers,
to give it date in years.

High Living in The United States.

We venture that in no country in the
world do people average so high in the
cost of living. 1t proves that our. av-
erage population lives well. And this
is an important fact. Good living pro-
notes health, and is a sign of intelli-
gence. Were our people so poverty
stricken as to be compelled to live
poorly, the effect on the nation would
be bad. Whether we advance in the
better element of civilization or retro
gade depends on our living 1t is also
test of our earnings. This nation has
been steadily liquidsting its debt since
1865 Yet it has lived, including luxu-
ries, not less than Sl0,000,000 a year,
and has put down in business and trad
ing plants at least as much more.
Twenty thousand million year seems
large sum. 1t means an earning ca
pacity of $500 a year for every man,
woman, and child in the country. Sup
pose that but l0,000.000 of these are
producers, it rates each active worker
as producing $1,000 a year of actual
wealth.-Phiiddelphia Call
