DANISH COUNTRY LIFE.
Described In Mrs. Tweedie's Letters
to Ihe London 0Fortn:ghtIY.0

Mrs. Alice Tweedle, an Englishwoman,
has been calling attention in a series of
letters to the London "Fortnightly'' to
the country life of the people of Dem
mark. with special reference to their
dairy system.
There must be thousands of women in.
this ~country-to say nothing of cottagers
and farmers w.yes-who might be MAX
need if they would but keep a few fowls
and a possible cow as every other Dan
may be. But cooperation must be Sc
cured first. singly. no one in this eoun-
" money can be anassed. And this only
means that one person in a district
should undertake to make a house-to-
house collection week by week of all
the eggs for the nearest market, and
that all milk should be sent in bulk to
butter factories instead of being made
up in small quantities as it is now, and
sent off to find US all as best it can. MRS.
Tweedie ~conclusively- proves that Den
mark. with all its advantages, is waxing
fat on money, while we grlfmble that
there is none to be made.

LEGAL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

WASHINGTON. u II, S95.-Secre
tary of War Lamont said last night that
he has not given his approval to either
set of plans for a bridge across the North
River, for the reason that the Chief En-
gineer has not yet submitted his official
recommendation on the subject.
''There were several legal questions in
volved as to whether the companies were
properly organized" said Secretary La
mont, which necessitated an opinion
by the Judge Advocate General of the
Army. The latter passed upon debatable
questions today, and then the whole
matter was referred back to the Chief
of Engineers. He will now consider the
matter further, and when he has prepared
his report it will be submitted to me
for such action as l may deem appropri-
ate. 1 have not approved of the plans
yet, nor have I seen the report of the
Judge Acknowledgement, consequently
the matter is still pending before the
Chief of Engineers, and, as l said before,
