BORAX AS AFOOD.

The Pure Food Committee of Con-
nearly two months. and with the aid of
learned doctors succeeded in immortal
izing itself. The doctors, in their tes-
timony "Wednesday. informed the Con-
gressional Solons that borax, the plain
commercial article, is one OF the health
lest things known TO man, and the COM
mittee Immediately reached the same
learned, if somewhat far fetched, con-
clusion. 1t is announced that borax
acts as n disinfectant to the blood,
causes cessation OF germ life, aids di-
gestion and is in general worth any
body's eating.
1t really seems Il pity, with borax so
low in price and abundant in quantity,
that its value as an article OF food was
not known earlier. Borax a Ia mode

be complete without n magnificent joint

POPULAR STUDIES IN LITERATURE.

Norway. Here he remained five years
during which time he Won some local
fame as a writer of verse, and produced
his first drama, "Catlina," based on
his studies in Latin, but inspired by the
revolutionary events of 1918. In 1850. at
the age of %, he went TO Christiania to
study, where he Immediately became
infected with the prevailing romantic
spirit. While preparing for the univer-
sty examinations he wrote drama of
the Oehlenschlaeger type, which was
accepted by the Christiania theater. In
1852 he was called to the city of Bergen
as artistic director of Ole Bulls Ma
tonal theater. During the five years
that he remained here he wrote five
dramas, for which he found materials
in the romantic sources to which re-
ference has been made. They are n Sc
ries of dramatic studies in conventional
romantic style. But even here there
are traces of latent IbSenian satire His
independent nature found it difficult to
conform to romantic requirements. In
1858, after his return to Christiania TO
take charge of the theater. he wrote a
historical drama called The Warriors
of Helgeland," an excellent piece of
dramatic composition. Indicative of the
serious literary work he had done while
in Bergen. The language is direct and
pithy as that OF an old Morse saga.

between the two tendencies that they
represented did much to clear the air
and pave the way for the new litera-
ture that was to come. Wergeland died
in 1914. at the early age OF 81, but he
was. nevertheless, one OF the most pro-
+ ific- writer's the Scandinavian north has
ever produced and withal Il genius of
monumental proportions.
NATIONAL ROMANTICISM IN NOR
WAY.
When the intellectual combat of the
| sos, surcharged more or less with po-
litical ideas and aspira tons, was wan
ing, new literary movement set in,
known as national ramanticism. Some
scholars had found that the Norwegian
peaSantry was in possession of seem
ingly ineXhaustable fund of popular
ballads and folklore stories. Competent
literary men devoted themselves to gar
nering these rich treasures. The har-
vest was gathered none too soon. An
other generation might have been too
late, for the railroad and telegraph are
not promoters of such things.
Here, then, it was seen were national
themes for modern poet and artist.
This was. moreover. continuation OF
the Scandinavian romantic movement
begun in Denmark, with this distinc-
ton: In Denmark this movement was
characterized by literary enthusiasm
for the antiquities of Scandinavia. while
the movement IN Norway started with
an enthusiastic study of the ballads
and folklore stories still found on the
lips of peasants. In connection with
this came an intense interest in Norwe-
gian scenery and popular life on the
part of both poets and artists. This
movement continued until 1870 (Which
date marks the advent of modern real
ism), and found its best literary eX-
preston in Bjornson's peasant stories.
But both Bjornson and Ibsen worked in
the field of Scandinavian 'romanticism
first opened by Oehenschaeger as well
as in the Norwegian field. Both wrote
historical dramas based on old Morse
life, and. indeed. with such success
that they superseded Oehlenschlaeger
in popular favor.
IBSEN'S EARLY WORKS.
The preceding summary will in
dictate that Henrik 1bsen inherited the
literary traditions of his day. and at
first became a worker in current move
ments. But these were not adapted Ia
his original bent of mind. In one sense
his restless genius merely tested It's
strength in them.
At the age of 16 lbsen left his home
to shift for himself. His father had
once been n prosperous merchant, but

years of age. 1t was yonng Ipsens am

The tone OF the drama is true to the
old Morse spirit, and is q better repre-
sentation of that rough but manly age
than anything Oehlenschlaeger had
produced. 1t was Il practical eXempli-
hcation of the possibility Of reproducing
in modern literature the rugged and
Vrile strength of the saga style +
was n valuable lesson to The Norwe-
gians in simplicity and naturalness Of
expression, as against the declamatory
rhetoric of most preceding writers,
whose Danish and German models were
foreign to the taciturn Morse tempcra-
ment. Bjornson had impressed the
same valuable lesson in his peasant
stories. The public was, however. i'll
prepared for an appreciation of such Il
dramatic masterpiece as Ibscn'S "The
Warriors of Ielgeland." Bjornson's
peasant studies were more to it's liking.
Although Il younger man, BjornSon was
the inst to win the public's favor, and
he Immediately achieved distinct ar
tistie success. Ibsen. however. had not
yet struck the characteristic note OF
his Tyre. That note came with full d.
apason in 1860 in dramatic poem
called Loves Comedy" in which he
applied the singing lash of his lambert
wit TO the conventional ideas of love
and marriage. 1t aroused n storm of
wrath so vehement that the mastery

MONEY. NOT BANK

Every faithful Democratic paper con-
ours with Mr.. Bryan and the people as

away your powder and ball, break your
bayonet and fight the enemy with an
empty gun. That ingenious suggestion
Is thus CURLY answered by journal

The Democratic National Conven-
ton OF 1900 will commit no such blum

edy for trusts. viz:
"Bimetallism at the ratio as 1t ex-

totally eliminate special privileges.

airy lines independent of Denmark The

Norwegian ooets sang of their new

erance of youth. Then from 1880 to
lS4V followed a period of fierce literary
controversy between two intellectual
giants. WerGeland and Welhaven, the
former standing for Norwegian literary
independence and the latter urging the
necessity of keeping up the intellectual
ties with Denmark. Wergeland, like
6Jornson. was an ardent patriot, Il poet
of the people, and q thoroughly demo-
cratic spirit. while Welhaven, like Ib-
sen. was a keen. and scathing critic. n
