space in the main pavilion. He emf
nently deserves it, since in magnitude
and completeness the land with it's tip
in the polar seas has surpassed other
exhibitors, and, moreover, 1t is more
than possible that some wandering
viking in crude craft was the first man
to visit America. He is also ready with
his curious fisher shells that dance in
the breakers of the Lofoden reefs,
graceful barks that scoot around the
Skager Rack, and standardized yawls,
of the Lister folk. There are a dozen
of these boats, representing all the
sections of the wide-reaching coast.
Some show the quaint notions of the
days of Eric and Harold as they are
yet used in the fords of the far North
cape country; others are built on
modern lines, making up in usefulness
what they lack in beauty.
Fishing is Norwsy's best business.
The figures showing its magnitude ore
too big to look we'll in print and so
large they are beyond comprehension.
Nobody can conceive what it means. for
a country to catch fifty million cod in
three months, and this is only an Off
cial sample of the magnitude of this
industry up to date this year. That is
why this great country has spent so
much money in this line at the Colum-
bian Exposition and to show hazard.
GUS lives led by 1000 of its good men.
It has been the fish purveyor of En-
rope, and now Mr.. Buch, who is direc-
tor of the Government school in
Bergen and head in many other i'm
portant branches of State work, hopes
to extend the exports into the West
ern world.
The boats are only fraction of the
exhibit, but they form an interesting
collection. There is an old chap with
a high PROV and a wooden rudder OF
large dimensions. It is used by the
people who live in the northern end of
the country, who retain many of the
customs of olden times. Until few
years ago this style prevailed exclu-
sively, but now the desire to beautify
and add quaint trimmings is leaving
these people, and soon the models OF
the daring salts who pillaged the Eng
lish coasts when Britons lived in mud
huts will only be found in books. The
oars are massive, more than two strong
men could easily ply. The sails are

The Singhalese.

An interesting place to visit Is the
Pettah, or native market place, at
Colombo, q busy scene at all hours
filed with great variety Of races,
colors and costumes. The tradesmen
and merchants are Moormen and
Singhalese. The former wear cotton
trousers and jacket with q curious bee
hive-shaped hat of plated grass and
silk. The Singhalese wear = brightly
colored piece of calico twisted twice
around the hips and reaching to the
feet like petticoat. Above thus q
white jacket. Their hair is very dark.
long, wavy and glossy, and they tWlss
it into a chignon after comblng II
straight back all around the forehead.
They wear no head covering, but IN
stead a circular tortoise shell COMB
sometimes, in the case OF the more
wel-to-do persons, supplemented Dy q
tall, wedge-shsped back comb OF the
same material. The Tamils wear as
little as possible, generally cettsn
cloth, gracefully disposed around tpe
body. The singhalese women dress 30

square rugged and the anchors cumber'
some and oddly Snapped masses of iron.
Walrus and seal capturing, with
their attendant hardsh1ps and uncer'
tainties, will also be shown. The boat
used in this business is constructed
with strength as the only requisite.
The PROV is sheathed with iron plates,
q safeguard against contact with a piece
of iceberg floating in the north seas.
In the front is platform, upon which
the harpooner stands, with pigeon
holes for the ropes of his weapon.
Directly in front is stack, about
which the line of the harpoon is wound
when the monster makes plunge into
the water and is off at terrific speed
with the boat in tow. 1t is also rugged
with heavy guns, ice anchors, pixies,
with seats for six men at the oars.
The codfshery boats do not differ
materially from those used in this
country, save in points of construc-
ton. The lines are similar to those of
the boats used on the Massachusetts,
coast. The most practical one in the
lot is the Lister boat and the commits
sioner thinks this style of craft will
soon be universally adopted in the cod,
herring and salmon catching, not only
in Norway, but in America.
1t is not so light as the old pattern
used by the vikings. 1t scored great
victory in the awful storm last January
when 125 fishermen were drowned.
The only men whe weathered the tor
nado and escaped with their lives were
hose who sailed il the List er crafts.

A Gum.Chewing Town.

's.Thcre is more gum-chewing in st.
Louis than in any other city on the
continent" said Corliss Jordan at the
Southern. "Brooklyn claims to out
chew any other city in the United
States in the matter of prepared
parafine. But 1 have seen more men
chewing gum here inside Of one hour
than I would see in Brooklyn in q
week. asked druggist about it, and
he tells me nearly everybody IN st.
Louis chews gum. should certainly
think SO from observation.
Zone druggist sells over 500 worth
of it every week. The idea prevails
here that gum-chewing helps the
digestion. A little of it may, but con-
slant gum-chewing Injuries the teeth
and impairs the stomach. It creates
saliva. which is carried to the stomach
and causes frlghtful waste of the
valuable gastric juices. 1t keeps the
stomach busy when it should be at
rest. Some men chew pepsin gum be-
cause they think there is lot of pep
sin in it. There is not enough in q
wagon load of it to save q mosquito
from one dyspepsia pang.
''The same fallacy obtains in this
case as in soda fountain sarsaparilla-
If you were to drink hogshead of it
you wouldn't get enough genuine
sarsaparilla into your system to mobi-
lize a single pimple. st. Louis Globe

81 BY NANE.'

In the wilderness wanderings, the Al.
mighty Gcd uttered words to Moses which
ever seemed to me to involve weight Of
meaning far greater than appears upon
their surfuce. And the Lord said to Moses.
l will do this thing also that thou hast
spoken: for thou has found grace in My
sight. and I know thee by name" What
intimacy what familiarity what dignity
and glory! None | ut friend could call his
friend by name! And what must it not be,
to be the friend OF the Deity itself! Yet all
this is sure for any one OF US, whom Jesus
knows and calls by name.
The prophet compares the starry hosts to
q flock of sheep, scattered through the fields
of 81 ace. Lit up your eyes OIL high, and
behold who hath created these, that bringeth
out their host by number: he calleth them
by names, by the greatness of His might,
for that he is strong of power: not one
died. Is worth more to Him than all the hosts
of heaven And il the stars are so SAFE be-
cause He 10 responsible to maintain and
guide them, shall not we too be equally safe,
whom He calleth by name? Would He
have entered into such intimate relationship
with US, if that were not to issue in an eter-
nal union?

redeemed as flock, and to lead them to liv-
ing fountains of water, i. e. from one foun-
tain to another deeper and deeper into the
heart Of heaven. But this gracious ministry
is equally His work on earth. He is always
leading us OUTPUT from the old into the
new: out from the familiar to the untried;
out from the attained to the unattained: out
from experiences and confessions. which
have become familiar. to the glorious pos
sibilities of Christian living. These leadings
come in many delicate and tender ways-by
circumstances. by friendships, by books, by
passages of Scripture; but when they come.

There is no experience in the Blessed Life

Norwegian people refuse to eat fish
which have been frozen. They say
they lose their flavor very shortly after
death, and when the housewife goes to
the market she insists ON seeing the
fish die. This obliges the catchers to
bring their fish to the market alive.
They consequently put the stock in
tended for home consumption into
queerly shaped wooden boats, with
holes in the sides. These boats sink
to the water edge, being covered. The
fishermen then tow a long string Of
these traps to the harbor. They
frequently make twenty miles IN a
night, and scramble for good positions
like the truck gardener in American
city markets. ,....'..,.

SYMPATHY.

1t is not merely the words and the form
into which they are cast when sympathy is
expressed that will do coed, though some
times. when delicately and appropriately
worded. the sorrowing one will preserve
them for their own sake. that they may at a
future day be applied to the healing OF grief
elsewhere. There is value in the simp lest
expression ofunexpected interest and sincere
concern. 1t deprives sorrow of the more or
