NORWAY.
Norway, July 16-A terrific thunder
storm passed over Norway. Rain poured
IN torrents for a long while. with an oc-
casiona1 dash of hail, accompanied by
continuous peals Of thunder and sharp
lightning, striking in many places, but
doing no particular damage so far as
heard from. The rain was received glad
", as the dry annd parched earth is now
completely saturated, and frequent dashes
since, give vegetation an impetus and
give promise OF good fruit and berry
crop which otherwise must have been a
complete failure. The apple crop, how
ever, viii not be so heavy as anticipated,
but much more abundant, and OF better
quality than last year.
Farmers are now in the midst of hay
ing. rendered rather precarious by fre-
quent dashes OF rain. The crop is very
uneven. Old fields and dry knobs and
ridges are light, while new pieces and
low grounds are very heavy. Much of
last years crop win be kept over.

a state of affairs even worse than had
been expected and Gen. Wood says
that summary measures will be neces-

would have been let off with small

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Coming Homs From tho War Looked Like His Own Kid-The Po-
 lite Conductor.

Three soldiers whose battered clothes and thin. weather beaten faces at once suggested that they had but just return. ed from Cuba got into the car at Forty. second street and Third avenue which runs to the Grand Central station and settled down as if completely tired out. None of them looked as if be was old enough to vote. and the great weariness on each one's face attracted the sym pathy of all of the other passengers One of them walked with the aid of Q cane not because he was wounded. but because he was evidently too weak to trust to his legs alone
 "Santiago." asked the conductor of the one who sat nearest the door.
 "Yes We have just arrived" was the reply in a voice so weak that it broke.
 But you are glad to get back"
 Three tired young faces were turned toward the conductor with expressions which answered his assertion better than words Just then the cur started, and one of the soldiers put his head out of the window and looked forward. The view pleased him. and as he drew his head back into the car he >Sid to his companions;
 "There it is That is the good old Grand Central. Bully old station Good old station"
 The other two took a look at it and then smiled. As the three men filed of the car one of the passengers voiced the sentiment of the others when he said;
 II wish might do something for those chaps.
 They had arrived on the Seguranca, and they were going home.-New York Sun.

The Polite Conductor.

The attention of all passengers save ono upon a Broadway car was attracted by the extraordinary politeness of the conductor. IL commonly held through uut the country that conductors are not oycrgivcn Co courtesy, and that they sometimes so SO far as Co start cars be f1re passengers have accomplished the task of getting aboard. This one did nothing of that kind. He waited every time until the passenger, man or wom an. had obtained seat before he rang the bell. He even got off on the run Co assist women to alight and todismount He lifted their parcels for them, he in- quired with pertinacious anxiety as to the possible demands of each one for a transfer. In every way that could bo thought of he exerted himself in behalf of the comfort of his passengers until he was red in the face and perspiring with the effort. The one passenger who was not looking at him in wonderment was a man on the back seat whose at- tention was absorbed by a newspaper stood on the rear platform.
 Funny. isn't it?" said a man at my side.
 "It's certainly unusual, " l admitted.
 "It's all very simple, returned the man in a stage whisper. "That fellow reading the newspaper is the superin- teudcnt of the line. New York Letter.
