! Prof. J. +. Sars has an article in
/ the Current Fortnightly Review ex
! planning fully and Interestingly the
| dispute between Norway and Sweden
/ with regard TO the management of the
| foreign relations of the united Scan
dinayian kingdom. 1t is dispute
which may lead to civil war, in which
event it is believed that Sweden
would be backed by Germany and Nor
way by Russia The Gar would ex-
( poet as the price Of his support the
cession Of harhor, open all the year
round, on the Norwegian coast. by
means of which Russia would speedily
take rank among the great naval pow
ers Of the Atlantic. As To the quarrel
itself Prof. Sars shows that the de
mand of Norway for equal voice with
Sweden in foreign relations is only
what was guaranteed her by the act of
union in 1919, but the Swedes are
reluctant Ia grant it because Norway
does not make to the army and navy
contribution even proportiOnate to
her population, and ought not To have
an equal right of plunging both king
doms into war, SO long as she is un-
willing to bear her fair share of the
burden Of military preparation. The
Norwegian Liberals who are foremost
in refusing to farther tax the country
for such purposes, are the party that
demand that Norway and Sweden
should have each its own Foreign
Minister, responsible for his foreign
policy TO the Parliament of his own
country and that the two countries
should have each its separate diplo-
matte and consular service. The
members of the Norwegian Right, on
the other hand, think that common
foreign policy personitied in single
Minister is essential to the maintain
ance Of the Union but they desire
that instead of the management be
ing left To Swedish minister, there
should be truly common minister,
whether Norwegian or Swede. rcspon-
sible to both the Swedish and Nor
wegian parliaments. or else, in accord
ance with the recedent set by Austro-
Hungary, to delegations from both
those bodies.

There are fresh reports of more than
doubtful reliability of an alliance OF
Guatemala and Costa Rica to force "a
union of the Central American states
with Guatemala as the dominant
power. The first step in the program
as reported is to be the overthrow of
the present administration of Hondu-
ras and the reelection of ex- President
Soto, who will favor the scheme. There
is no doubt of the existence of strong
sentiment throughout Central America
in favor of federation, and it can only
be accomplished by peaceful means and
the adoption of some such schemes as
that of the United States for the pro-
lection of the smaller states against
the large ones. When more than 70
years ago these states separated from
Mexico, they remained confederated
for about 16 years. Twenty years ago
Gen. Rufino Barrios, uncle of the pres
ent president, held congress at his
capital for the purpose of bringing
about reunion, but under so ambi
tious and INSCRIPTIONS a leader. the
plan naturally did not commend itself
to the other states. Ten years later,
believing that he could count on the
support of Honduras under Bogran,
its new president, he made an armed
attempt and lost his life in the first
battle against the troops of San Saliva
dor. Immediately after Barrios was
killed, Zaldivar, the president of Sal
vador, who had defeated him, renewed
the project of reunion, of course not to
be accomplished by force. When Ial
diyar was overthrow, his successor,
Menendez, was also for federation. In
1887 there was a conference in the city
of Guatemala the next year an other in
San Jose de Costa Rica; while in 1899,
at San Salvador. the result of formal
congress was a compact of confedera-
tion signed by the delegates of the five
republics. However, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica delayed or withheld their
Publications and before the time APP
pointed to choose president, Men
endez was overthrow in Salvador by
Ezeta, who opposed federation, but
has himself since deposed. Last year
the project was revived.

THE USE OF THE HUMP.

There are some men in this world
who can answer any question that is
put to them, and sometimes when they
do not really know what they are
talking about, they will give answers
that are not at all bad. One of these
persons was once keeper Of the Lon
con Zoo. He was pestered to death by
the questions which people asked, but
he always gave an answer. On a re-
cent occasion a countryman strOlled in,
and after looking curiously at the
camel for few moments, he turned to
the keeper and said
Il say, mister, what's he have a
hump for?''
what does he have a hump for?''
repeated the keeper.
Yes. What's the good Of it," asked
the visitor.
"Why-er-it makes camel Of him,
of course" replied the keeper, after
some hesitation. people wouldn't
travel miles to see him if he didn't
have that hump. Fact is, without it
he might as we'll be a cow"

JUST WHAT A LETTER IS.
An Official Definition Given by the
Postoffice Department.

A ruling was recently made by Post
master Coyeney upon the question as
to what constitutes letter ''in it's US
ual and ordinary FORM" and it has
just been confirmed by a communica-
ton from Washington. The ruling and
it's confirmation were the outcome of
a complaint recently made to the post
master by gentleman who desired to
| send through the mails q sealed roll
properly stamped and directed to the
commissioner Of patents at Ottawa.
He said that the roll contained plans
and drawings relative to a patent. He
had offered this roll to the clerk at the
foreign window, and, following out
the rules Of the office. the clerk re-
fused to receive it. When asked for
reasons he was referred to the post
master. Colonel Coveney gave a deci-
sion to the effect that the term letter
is to be construed to mean and en-
/ brace sealed packages consisting of an
envelope Of any size, but fat, as is the
usual letter. The objector did not
think that this department concur in
the opinion that the ruling and defini-
ton Of letter was correct, and gave
his opinion that letter was a pack
age containing personal matter Of no
value
In the communication from Wash
ington n. NJ. Brooks. the superintend-
ent Of foreign mails, says that 1.-The
Canada office and this term letter in
it's usual and ordinary form is to be
construed to embrace sealed packages
consisting of an envelope Of any size,
but of the usual letter shape, and its
contents; but that rolls, or a package
not inclosed in an envelope as the
word envelope is generally used, can
not be considered to be a letter in it's
usual and ordinary form \ sealed
package in the form of a roll is there
fore not entitled to TRANSMISSION in the
mails exchanged between the United
States and Canada, and your office
was correct in declining to receive the
sealed roll mentioned"
Complaints of the kind made by the
gentleman who wished to forward the
sealed roll have been numerous, but
this is the first time in the history Of
the department that it has been called
upon to decide what constituted a let
ter. By this decision no sealed pack
ages or rolls will be taken at the Bos-
ton postoffice for transportation to
Canada, as the regulation of the pos
tai convention say that 'sealed pack
ages other than letters in the usual and
ordinary form are not allowed to be
dispatched to Canada, even if postage
has been prepaid in full at letter
rates." This is no new law or regula-
ton, as it was enacted about ten years
ago, and has always been enforced
more or less.

A FEW HINTS TO GIRLS ON THE
TREATMENT OF THE HAIR.
To be continued.

A girls hair is one Of her points of
beauty, and it should never be neg
lected. Regular steady brushing of
the hair with clean brush, fifty
strokes before going to bed at night,
twenty-five in the morning when
dressing, will keep the hair thick,
smooth, soft, and lovely. Once
month at least the tips of the hair
should be clipped off, just the merest
tip-ends at the edges, and once a
month the head should be very care
fully washed, with tepid water and
soap, thoroughly rubbed, and well
dried. If mamma has time to take this
sort Of care Of her daughters hair, she
will be repaid by seeing rich and flow
ing treSses, or sisters may easily do
it for one another Do not cut your
hair in bangs. 1t is very much prettier
simply parted and combed back
plainly, then braided in one or two
long tails, and tied with ribbon.
Avoid essences, oils, and pigments; the
hair needs only cleanliness. and much
brushing. Keep your hair-brush clean

Of hot water and ammonia and drying
it in the sun. Everything used in
treating the hair must be scrupulously
neat.
1t is nice for girl to have dainty
toilet articles if she can. Silver. china.

can still keep everything that belongs

CLEVELAND INTERESTED.

Washington April 1.-THE interest
the administration takes in the cam
paign against the free silver movement
is undisguised. The letter which the
president is preparing to send to Chi
cago business men in reply to their
invitation to deliver an address upon
the currency will be no less emphatic
than that he addressed to the chamber
Of commerce Of New York, early in
1892, although probably he will go
more into details and more explicitly
state the reason for his opposition to
the free coinage of silver at 16 to

Her face was white and set. the
bloodless lips were compressed. The
strain Of a terrible tension was upon
her. but the very magnitude Of the
interest at stake gave her strength and
calmness. She led him quickly along

1t was a small room, containing a

was refuge, and that was enough.
Reckless and hardened as he was, it
caused him a deep pang to know how
much she was sacrificing for him,
though doing it for ''grace of mercy"
He set down the lamp she gave him,

And then the door closed between
her and the man she had once loved
with a girls pure, earnest love, but
not, she knew now, with the strong
passionate love of woman's heart.
For an instant her brain seemed to
reel, and she staggered dizzily, her
quivering lips murmured, in the bitter
