The proceeds of lottery gotten up

The tariff question for the past few
days has received so much attention
through the press that it makes one
involuntarily think of orthodox Ameri-
can politics. The leaders of the. liberal
party seem to agree that the new tariff
law must have the double aim of rev.
enue and protection; but even when
these points are agreed upon, there is
plenty of room for differences of
opinion.
The town of Holmestrand has con-
tracted loan of $50, 900 for internal
improvements. The rate of interest is
4 per cent,
Politics seems to have crept into the
cathedral of Trondhjem in a most
vicious form. Eighteen workingmen
are employed in repairing the building
this summer. A few days ago the
managers of the work requested the
workmen to sign declaration that
they would not oppose the conserva-
tive party. All but four of the men
signed the document, and the unyield-
ing four were summarily discharged.
One of the latter was the most skillful
| sculptor in the whole crew.

The provost of the cathedral of
Trondhjem has protested against the
use of the cathedral for divine services
on July 20, the anniversary of the death
OF Saint Olaf, the man who done more
than anyone else to christianize the
Norwegian people. This protest, how
ever, needs few words of explana-
ton. The 900th anniversary of the
founding of the city of Trondhjem will
be celebrated this summer. The king
chose the 18th of July for the celebra
! ton. that date being the oath anniver-
sary of his coronation at the said ca
| thedral as king of Norway. The lib
erals did not take kindly to this date,
but selected st. Olaf's day-Ju]y %.
Neither party being able to cow the
| other to submission, there must needs
| be two celebrations, and it is in con-
nection with that of the liberals that
the cathedral is wanted on the goth. 1t
| is expected that the opposition of the
provost will be overridden by the min
lister of public worship, if the matter
is permitted to pass that far.
The storthing, by unanimous vote,
has memorialized the king to endeavor
to establish treaties of arbitration
with other nations. Ia discussing the
memorial, Premier Hagerup stated that
there are no reliable means of enforc-
ing the decisions of courts of arbitra-
ton. Personally, however, he was in
favor of substituting right for might,
but counselled moderation on the part
of the friends of peace.

Four men were to clean an old we'll
in Copenhagen. The we'll being only
36 feet deep, ladder was put down,
and one of the men descended. Before
reaching the bottom, however, he was
overcome by poisonous gases, and lost
his hold. Strange as it may seem it
took the other three men about four
hours to get their unfortunate comrade

this question once for all the expert

prehensive experiments in hog feeding,
and the conclusion arrived at is, that
Indian corn produces softer pork than

this result is largely set off by.a state
