LAST Sunday was Norway's independ-
.ence day. The Norwegians in this city
are very Few aud consequently their day
of rejoicing here was not observed. Prior
TO May IL, 1914, Norway was drifting as
"A province from one king 60 another but
Tor the last 400 years she had been un-
der the king Of Denmark. Norway had
no other laws than those given by the
king IN way OF resolution. No Office was
elective but everybody that got AN Office
no matter how insignificant received il
boy the grace Of the king. In the Peace
Congress mt Kiel, January IL, 1914, the
king Of Denmark was compelled to sur
render the province 81 Norway 60 the
king OF Sweden. This the Norwegians re-
fused Co submit to and attempted 10 set
up an independent kingdom and elected
Prince Friedrich Christian then crown
prince OF Denmark, M their king. Aeon
etitutional convention assembled at Eds
void April ., 1914, whichframed the first
popular constitution for the kingdom Of
Norway. This constitution which pro-
vided for "a legislature elected by the peo-
pie was adopted May IL, 1914, and is
the constitution Of Norway to-day. The
only change made was that Prince Fred
rick Christian resigned and as com
promise the king Of Sweden was elected
ns the king Of Norway also. This occur
red Nov. a. 1914, but IL considered Of
minor Importance. Since Nov. A., 1914,
Norway has had popular government,
and made its own laws.

TINS PREFERABLE papers continue their
efforts to persuade themselves and their
readers that the manufacture OF tin
plates will not be established here under
the new tariff. At first they confidently
asserted that no one ever thought Of IN
vesting a dollar in the industry in this
country Forced 20 pcede from this po.
sition, they still kept up their absurd
policy of denying the existence ofdelinite-
y located plants. As these began to
multiply and American tin plates began
TO appear they again shifted their
ground and turned TO ridiculing the new
American product. They said ut first
that tin plates would not be made atall.
Actually confronted with the shining
sheets, they challenged the manufacturer
TO produce LOO boxes a day, physical
,impossibilty then, SO soon after the en-
actncnt of the new tariff. But in due
time the hundred boxes appeared, and,
behold your free-trader dared the man
uIacturer TO turn out 1 200 boxes aday.
This is the point at which he has now
arrived. The progress OF the new indus
try will soon drive him from this posi-
ton also. 1t takes time TO establish
great tin-plate plants, and the new law
has been insured TO our manufacturers
only seven months. The increased duty
nn tin plates does not go into effect till
next July. Protectionists can well afford
Go wait. The "tin-plate liars" will suffer

Medicines Among tho Mongols.

Medicines also are much sought after
by them While l was at Dulan-kuo
nearly every one in the village came to
see me, and most of the people asked
for medicines whether they were suffer-
ing from any complaint or no. Plasters
were in great demand, as all the villag-
ers had rheumatism. and the tighter the
plasters stuck the better they were held
to be. had with me bottle of Eno's
fruit salts, and gave some to the peo'
pie, but when they saw the salts boiling
and fizzing they thought there must be
some magic about the medicine and
would have none of it.
Most of their troubles. sores and eye
diseases, come from dirty habits. but one
can never persuade them of the neces-
sity of keeping clean. A friend of mine
was once travelling among the Mongols.
and an old crone came to him and begged
some medicine to put on sore. He
told her that before applying the salve
it would be necessary to wash herself
She gave it back to him, saying: Il am
81 years old, and have never washed
in my life; do you suppose l am going to
begin pow?"
Mongol physicians feel the patients
pulse on both wrists at the same time,
and never ask any questions; or at least
none concerning the origin and progress
of the complaint, for if they did it
would be held that they had shown ig-
norancs in their profession. -ICentury.

The American Girl in Paris.

This is what Partisan marquise writes
of the American girl: 1T is her life be-
fore the public, begun at the earliest pos
sible period at day schools and in board
ing houses, which bestows on her the
free and easy manner which makes her
remarked upon whenever she appears.
AS soon as she enters society she does ex-
actly what comes into her head. She
goes alone to the doctor, the dentist, the
music master, and enrolls herself in the
lists of clubs for fencing, german. skat-
ing, reading, baseball, singing, etc. She
prefers the society of men to that of
women, ETC." And this is what the
American girl answers: "If she does all
of which this writer has pronounced her
guilty, it is because of her security from
insult in thought or deed, in the true and
never failing courtesy of the American
man, who, unlike the French critic, rever-
ences womanhood itself more than the
conventionality with which he would
surround and guard it."
The well bred, we'll read American
lady, be she girl or woman, requires only
the protection which her own refinement
and common sense provide from the men
of her nation, and needs the intervention
of no chaperon to insure respectful
demeanor. In fact, the chaperon insti-
tuition is considered by many cultured
people an insult to the true womanhood
of the American girl and to the honor of
her fellow men, New York Sun.

Walter Besant, in a London journal,
tells of his visit to the newly discovered
remains of Roman city at Silchester,
Kent, England. The Antiquaries' So
ciety is excavating the place in sections,
which after being studied and sketched
are covered again for preservation. He
says:
you might look across that fiat land
to right and left, and never dream that
foot or two below the surface lie the
foundations and floors and tesselated
pavements of great city, of which not
tradition or memory survives.
The town was built in square blocks,
which can be traced where the corn is
standing. The most interesting part of
the place is the Forum, the official center
of the town. Here are the great Basilica.
a hall $50 feet long, chambers for legal
and public business and the shops where
the business of the city was carried on.
A perfect ground plan of villa has
been laid bare The tenant of this house,
which was probably of one story only,
the fourth side remaining open; it in
closed small garden; large garden lay
outside this. Behind the cloister were
large rooms, those used in winter being
warmed by hot air pipes connecting with
great underground stoves, which can be
ZEN. Behind these chambers was
another cloister, and at the back were
kitchen, pantry, and larder The large
area occupied by this one villa seems to
~ ~. la
have been an exceptionally large one. A
great stone wall stretches around the
town, inclosing an area of 100 acres.

Even Old Hickory Could l

Even Old Hickory Could Not Stop 1t.
Much amusement has been caused at
Washington by the cabled news from
Rome to the effect that King Humbert
was highly indignant at the cartoons of
him published in American papers and
disposed to go to war unless an apology
was made by the Government. The
spectacle of Harrison and Blaine, who
have suffered about as much at the car
toonistss hands as anybody, trying to
protect King Humbert from the wit and
sarcasm of American pencils would be
refreshing. A State Department official
recalls the fact that this same question
arose years ago, in Jackson's time, and
was settled by Old Hickory in charac-
teristic fashion. The car of Russia was
being lampooned numerically in the
American press, and the St. Petersburg
government, accustomed to ordering
editors about at its own sweet will, asked
the President to interfere and suppress
the offending publications. Jackson's re-
ply was that with all his power as Presi-
dent of the United States he had no con-
troll over the newspapers; and that for
every assault upon the car in American
newspapers he could show thousand
upon himself.-[Chicago Herald.

"Our Little Dot.

A writer in the New York Sun de-
scribes a scene which he witnessed, late
one evening, in the streets of st. Louis.
A group of gamins were hanging about
an old, gray haired woman, shabblly
dressed, who carried a large package
under her arm. The writer of the sketch
followed, thinking to say something at
the right moment.
The boys were jeering, and the woman
was begging to be let alone. By and by
she sat down on doorstep. Then the
young Arabs gathered thickly around
her.
Give us song, old woman!"
"If you'll dance us a jig, we'll let you
off"
"Open the bundle and let's see what
you've got!"
When there was moment of silence
she replied:
Boys, come closer round me. I've got
something here to show you"
They crowded up to her, and she re-
moved the newspapers which concealed
the object she was carrying, and held 1t
up before them.
If bombshell had dropped among them
it would not have scattered them more
quickly. What do you suppose it wasF
