~ b
litical antagonist of King Oscar, is
thoroughly respected by the king for
his honesty, sturdy independence,
craftsmanship, and above all for his
fairness in the political strife that now
agitates the two countries. King Oscar
has requested Mr.. Sverdrup to form a
ministry, but the Norwegian leader re-
fused as the right and the moderates
had no majority in the storthing, but
Notwithstanding his refusal Sverdrup is
the actual leader of Norway to-day, and
as long as he remains so there is hope
that the union between the two coun-
tries will be preserved.
Jacob Liv Rostad Sverdrup, born
March 81, 1915, is by profession cler-
gyman OF the Norwegian Lutheran
church in the diocese of the city of
Bergen, and is also distinguished as a
writer and speaker. Elected to the
storthing in 1878 he joined the political
party of which his distinguished uncle,
John Sverdrup, was the leader. In 1884
he was appointed member of the Nor
wegian council of state and served as
chief of the Norwegian ecclesiastical
department, 1SS6-'S7. Resigning from
the Norwegian cabinet in 1889 he was
reelected to the storthing, 1901, and
again at the election last spring.

How Oscar Wilde Spends His
Time at Pentonville.
He Is But Seldom Reused from the Da zed.
Trance-Like Condition In Which He
Remains Most of the Time
N Tried on the Treadmill.

How is Oscar Wilde bearing the strain
OF his new life as convict in dreary
Pentonville prison? is the question
often asked nowadays by thousands
over here who were edited or scandal
lied by his epigrams, said or written.
So far there has been no authentic
answer. 1t has come IN the way of q
London correspondent of the New York
World to find out something about 1t
that can be relied upon, as 1t comes
from the best possible source. An in
teresting and, in one way terrible, story
itmakes. The cell into which they put
him is Yery small, perfectly bare, made
even f121Ee hideous by rough coating
Of whfSewash. There is wretched
hard bed and a table. with no cloth to
cover its plain board top. On the table
Is the only literature permitted him
. copy of the Bible. He must read this
or he may not read at all.
He rises at q. M, ind before break
fast he must clean his cell, sweep II,
make the bed, and in every way get It
into condition for the sharp eyes of the
inspector. Then, at 1880, he has break

ing in the files with several hundred
other convicts, and compelled TO an at
titude of reverence At noon he has
his two-course dinner, which varies
regularly with the day of the week.
Ate p. M he has supper, daily repe-
tition Of the frugal breakfast. Between
supper and bed he may mediate as he
sits in his cell or he may read the Bible.
At $3.50 p. m. lights must be out and
every convict, including Convict Wilde,
must be stretched out in bed
There have been many stories that he
has lost his mind. But the truth Is he
is still sane, but in dazed, trance-like
condition, from which he is seldom
reused.
The first time he showed any signs
of realization of the depth to which
he has sunk was the second day of his
imprisonment, when he was put upon
the treadwheel The second day,
Wilde, dazed and automatic, was led

Queer Cure for Toothache.

In Stafordshire and Shropshire, Eng
land, they have most extraordinary
cure for toothache. The sufferer
watches mole's runway with spade
and tfifbs, and, as soon as he succeeds
in capturing one Of these reputed eye
less animals, cuts off its paw and quick
Nv applies it to the aching molar. In
order to make the cure sure and effect
i've, the paw must be amputated while
the mole is yet alive; furthermore, II
the aching tooth Is on the right side of
the Jaw, left-hand mole paw must be
used, and vice versa. A similar tooth
ache superstition exists In the Cape
Verde islands and also on the Canaries.

general regret is expressed that the

Goods are sometimes "evils," as
Franklin wisely observed. A liver
pill is good for extreme cases of bill

completely, but without the severity

The retirement of Mr.. Gladstone from
public life is perhaps after all little
more than merely formal act As
long as he lives he win not cease to be
a public man, whether In parliament
or not. and his influence will be felt
long after he is dead. For more than
sixty years he has been before the Eng
lish public, and for more than forty
years he has played leading part.
For fifteen years he has represented
Midlothian in the house of commons,
and now, In his eighty-sixth year, he
bids farewell to his long and notable
career OF public activity.
In formally taking leave of public
life Mr.. Gladstone by no means gives up

which was not written by either Shake
spcare or Bacon. Later on Miss Reynolds
appeared in tho prominent vaudeville
theatcrs of the country. At about this time
sho did what every sensible woman has
done or hopes to do-she got married Tho
fortunate man was Mark Murphy, one Of
tho fow really good Irish comedians in
America. Murphy was then the star of an
other non-Shakcspearo-B Bacon epic, entitled
'Dowd's Ncighbors, and his bride was
engaged to create the leading role of Wild
ow Riley. This she did very successfully
Mrs. Murphy's engagements have since
been somewhat dcsultory, but her recent
performance in "Thrilby' has served to
bring her prominently before tho public in
vehicle which afforded her full scope for
the exploitation of her ability
Mrs. Murphy is very handsome, which
is certainly no disadvantage on the stage
or anywhere else; she has an excellent So
prano voice of considerable culture; hcr
stage presence is pleasing and she is with
al highly Intelligent and we'll educated
woman. AS shc is thoroughly conscien-
tious In everything she undertakes 1t
would seem that Jennie Reynolds future
in her chosen profession should be a bril-
liant one.
