Sweden and Norway Unite

The report of the Swedish and Norwe-
gian committees on the union between the
two countries has been submitted to the
Swedish riksdag and the Norwegian stor-
thing. The majority report of the Swedish
committee recommends the appointment of
a common foreign minister, who may be
either a Swede or a Norwegian, but is not
to be member either of the riksdag or the
storthing. 1t also advocates the constitu-
ton of council of state for foreign affairs.
to consist of at least two Swedish and two
Norwegian councillors. With regard Z,

i.y, the report provides that he may be
impeached before a supreme judicial tri-
bunal of the united kingdoms, consisting Of
the six senior judges of the supreme
courts of both countries, twelve members
of the riksdag and the same number of the
storthing. 1t is proposed further, that
diplomatic and consular representation be
common to both countries. The report of
the majority Of the Norwegian committee
recommends that each country contribute
to the expenditure on account of the for
eign ministry in proportion to it's popula-
ton, and that the consular representation
be common to both countries for period
of fifteen years, after which each shall be
entitled to demand the dissolution of the
consular union. There is also Norwegian

matte and consular representation for each
of the two countries.-Omaha Bee.

A NAVAL SHIPS TAILOR
No Landsman Can Compete With His
Handiwork

The skill displayed by the sailors on board
our naval vessels in making their own
clothes, even to their caps, surprises the
that these things are supplied by the gov
eminent tailors. Ready-made uniforms are
supplied to the recruits. but as soon as the
men get their sea legs and begin to have
some pride in their appearance, they get
their uniforms made by the tailors In the
crew, and much better fitting clothes they
are. 1t is we'll recognized fact that no
tailor ashore can compete with these sailor
tailors in making bluejacket suits. With
his ditty box and his small hand sewing
machine ships tailor, after his regular

making a sailor suit with all its trimmings
and the man who employs him draws his
cloth from the ships stores. For making
a cap, including the fancy embroidery
about the top and band, the charge Is
$3.50 and well set up tar wouldn't think
of wearing cap bought ashore If he had
money and pride. The cap makers in q
ships crew are experts in various styles
of embroidering. These tailors and cap
makers aboard ship are classed usually
with the thrifty men, and the amount OF
money they can make and save in three
years cruise sometimes amounts to $500
or more, and there Is a tradition in the navy
that quartermaster was paid off from the
cruiser San Francisco several years ago.

A writer in French paper says every
year there are 100000 foreigners who pasA
from fortnight to whole winter on the
Riviera. Every person is supposed to exc
pend on an average 1000 francs, or $500, in
the country. In other words, the foreign
visitors spend in the country every winter
the sum of $54,000000. This is enormous.
The English are put down as contributing
one-third of the amount, the French
themselves contribute another third; Ger
mans. Belgians, Dutch and Russians do
the rest. Nothing is said about the
Americans. Perhaps they are Jumped up

hurried thither from London, packed
what he needed, took leave Of his fam

across the Atlantic. He got to New
York one morning, received his bag
gage at 1920 o'clock in the afternoon,
and at 1850 o'clock was ON the tram
for San Francisco. The trip from Eng
land was accomplished in eleven days.
