Hyeienic Value of Bathing.

Al authority on hygiene says that
systematic use of salt baths will pre-
vent one from taking cold, and avert
chapping and roughness of the skin.
A handful of common salt dissolved in
a basinful of water as cold as ones vi.
tality permits is sufficient for sponge
bath over the entire body. No soap
should be used in this bath. It is better
to use cold water for the face and neck,
adding a little hot for the remainder of
the sponging, if desired.

The introduction of more stringent

whisky in the Stockholm saloons (bo-

But at the same time the sale at the
wholesale houses increased 10000 gal
Ions. The bolag has resolved that at
the saloons only one drink shall be
sold at time when no food is order
ed; two drinks when food is ordered
for cents; and three drinks when
food is ordered for at least Is cents.
The newspapers are becoming per
sistent in their demands for explana-
tions from the government in relation
to the steps it is pursuing relative to
the alleged Russian spies, who for
several weeks past are reported to
have been seen in different parts of
Sweden, especially in the neighbor-
hood of fortified places. The papers
declare that if the reports are true the
government must address an unequiv-
ocal intimation to Russia that such
proceedings must cease. There will
probably be an Interpolation in the
riksdag on the subject.

Some fifty years ago, two young
men near Kingston (lake), contracted
decided dislike for each other. One
of them, however, was ten years older
and much stronger than the other,
and the weaker one never dared to
show fight. The two neighbors are
now so and 20 years old, and the ef-
fects of old age are telling very rapid
ly upon the older one. Having watched
the decay of his enemy, the younger
one finally gave battle the other day,
his intention being to give the octo-
genarian sound drubbing: But the
latter not only resisted the attack, but
did not quit until he had pulled off a
considerable portion of the hair and
whiskers of his mistaken assailer.

DENMARK.

The case OF the government against
the English trading steamer Royalist
has been decided in favor of the gov
ernment. The recklessness of the
crew of this steamer caused the death
of several Iceland fishermen, and later
on the same steamer was captured
while fishing within the territorial
limit of Denmark. Captain C. A.
Nilsson was sentenced to term of
one year in the penitentiary; Holm
gren, the mate, to two fve-day terms
in Jail on bread and water fare; and
Rugaard, the cook, to solitary confine-
ment for six terms of five days each.

parties were Scandinavians or of

all the propositions, Denmark treating

Principal Events that Have Occurred in

Adolf Hedin, the brainiest member
of the second chamber of the Swedish
riksdag, has been digging up some
old and very interesting history. Ac-
cording to the treaty of Malmo, dated
June 26, 1903, Sweden should, after
period of one hundred years, have a
right to redeem the city of Wismar,
Germany, by paying reasonable
amount of money. Hedin now pro-
poses that Sweden make a formal and
final transfer of the city of Wismar
to Germany on condition that Ger
many cede Slesvig-Holstein back to
Denmark. Hedin is too much of
practical man of the world to expect
that he can accomplish much; but the
fact that he has actually brought the
matter before the second chamber of
the Swedish riksdag shows that he,
in spite of his sufferings from an in
durable disease, and in spite of old
age, is ever ready to vindicate his
reputation as man who has the cour-
age of his conviction.

the Scandinavian peoples, their doom
would be sealed. Sooner or later the
annihilation of both would be certain.
And in all probability it would not be
delayed for any great length of time
We have witnessed SO much that there
ought to be an end to all this disgust
ing talk about bloodshed between the
peoples of the North. 1t is savage,
and leads to shameless thoughts. We
may have to sacrifice blood for the in
dependence of the North. We must
try to settle our own differences in
peace. If misfortune should befall us
we would look back and conclude that
we were struck with insanity so that
we could not settle the questions be-
tween Norway and Sweden amicably
before it was too late. Think of this,

Prof. Hjarne says: ''To talk about
Russia planning an attack on Sweden
is unwarranted, and, above all, fool
ish. To attack a Sweden which is
willing to defend itself would be
piece of madness even on the part of
such power as Russia. Even to a
world-power real war with small
power is no longer a trifle. A cam
paign against Sweden would cause
greater financial difficulties in Russia
than those experienced by England in
the Boer war. From a military point
of view Sweden is not to be despised
even at the present moment. Expert
ence has proven that every modern
war is a matter in which the whole
world is interested. But a necessary
condition on which we may base safe
ty against a Russian invasion is the
integrity of the union.''
