The following statistics embrace the
entire Swedish settlement:
MARRIAGES, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
From the date of the settlement to the
present day there have been celebrated 10E
marriages; 4S1 babies have been born,
and 140 individuals have died. In the
last number are included many who died
in Portland, Augusta, Boston and other
places, but are inferred in the New
Sweden cemetery. Yet, even with these
deaths included, the births outnumbel
the deaths in the ratio g. 43 to 1. Is any

of the Swedish race and the healthfulness
of the climate of Maine?

open the pneumatic valves in the pipes
of all the instruments connected up by

organist touches a button, and the elec-
trio motors start the blowers, which are

Could Not Make Thibet.

Mr.. Wilson relates an amusing story
Of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Thibet by stratagem. This
officer managed to cross the frontier at
night and SO escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however. while he was jour-
neying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan
soldiers overlook him and Informed him
that, as the country was unsafe because
of robbers, they would go with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange
ment the traveller vas compelled to
agree. In a few hours they came to a
river, which was crossed by a rope
bridge. The Thibetans passed over
first, in order to show that the bridge
was safe, and hen the officer got into
the basket and was pulled along by The
Thibetans. Suddenly, however, they
ceased pulling and left the E~nglishman
hanging in midair above the rushing
torrent.
In vain the traveller shouted to the
Thibetans to pull; they merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours
passed and still the officer hung above
the torrent. At last the Thibetans
agreed to pull him back if he would
promise to leave Thibet Immediately.
This, of course he was compelled to do
and took his departure from the for
hidden land.-Gentleman's Magazine.

If New York, Ohio and the older
states have lost millions of dollars an
nually because of the land becoming
too valuable for sheep raising, why is
it that under the free wool policy OF
Grover Cleveland the loss on wool and
sheep has amounted to millions of dol
lars in the territorial sections, where
sheep have increased in number? The

free wool on the value of f1ocks, is
