of Mr.. Ray, Special Examiner for
Pension Department, who is or was
in your city lately, which purports
TO be a report signed by several rep
utable citizens of our county, and
being deleterious to the claims of
certain pensioners and applicants in
our vicinity. Now it is well-known
that if there be such paper some Of
these names at least are forgeries and
Mr.. Ray should produce II and let
the injured parties take action. If
there is no such paper Mr.. Ray
should say SO and let the lie go home
to roost.

The Bell of Justice.

Here is beautiful story which may
or may not be true, but ought to be
true, if only for the lesson it conveys.
In Atri, one of the old cities of Italy,
which you will not find on modern
maps, SO the story goes. the King
caused bell to be hung in tower in
one of the public squares, and called it
the ''Bell of Justice" and commanded
that any one who had been wronged
should ring the bell, and so call the
magistrate of the city and ask and re-
ceive justice. When, in course of time,
the lower end of the bell rope rotted
away, a wild vine was tied to it to
lengthen it; and, one day. aa old and
starving horse, that had been aban-
doned by its owner and turned out to
die. wandered into the tower, and in
trying to eat the vine. rang the bell.
And the magistrate of the city, coming
to see who had rung the bell, found
this old and starving horse. And he
caused the owner of the horse, in whose
service he had toiled and been worn
out, to be summoned before him, and
decreed that as this poor horse had
rung the Bell of Justice he should have
justice, and that during the remainder
of the horses life his owner should
provide for him proper food and drink
and stable Golden Ddqs.

Swedish Family Names.

Although there are many Swedes in
this country but few Americans under
stand the old system of naming still
used in Sweden. l often hear people
ask how it is that the names of so
many Swedes end in ''son.'' My moth
er's name was Eric Johnson and I was
named Eric. In Sweden my name was
Eric Ericsson. When / came to this
country l did as all Swedes do when
they emigrate-t took my fathers name.
This system of naming was never in
vogue among the Normans or Saxons,
and every person who is named Nelson
or johnson or Thompson or any other
''son" may be sure that he is descend
ant of the old Scandinavian freebooters.

COMFORTABLE HOMES.
Interior Arrangements OF Norwegian
Farm House.


Farm House.
The first impression of an ordinary
Norwegian farm house. is not very
favorable. A cluster of houses, small
and aged, crowd around large dwell
ing house, which generally looks some
what dilapidated. But this appearance
is deceptive; for the wslls being Of
wood, they look old in few years, and
become blotched and scared by the
weather The roof is of the same ma
terial, or in the case Of the principal
building, either of red tile or slab.
Sometimes the dwelling-house Is
painted white, when the effect is to
relieve the sober aspects OF the groups.
The walls are usually stout and thor
oughly waterproof, plank about four
inches thick being used in their con-
struction. These planks are placed
edgewise on one another, crossed and
countersunk at the angles and calked in
the seams with dry moss A skin OF
thin wood is placed over the outside.
while the interior Is lined smoothly
with boards. Inside there is an air OF
comfort and cleanliness. A table
stands in the center of the chief room.
and along the wall bench runs. which
serves for chairs, of which there Is
usually deficiency. From pots on tho
floor. ivy is sometimes trained upward
10 the roof, giving the room festive
and refreshing look. Not infrequently
the worthy farmer is proud to have the
dresses of his daughters hung in con-
spicuous positions, in order that swains
who call may see the damscls are well
provided with garments in case of a
matrimonial alliance The cow-houses
are generally an Improvement on those
usually seen in England and Scot
land. The building is larger and more
space is allowed to each animal. while
a clean wooden floor is ordinarily be-
meath the cattle. Little or no bedding
is given. The level Of the cow-house
is, in uost cases. raised high enough
to allow space beneath, into which
the refuse is regularly swept through
an opening IN the foor.-Chambers
