BEAUTIFUL S~
S~ STOCKHOLM

The good people Of Stockholm are
proud in the belief that the architec-

of any other of its size in Europe,
says a travelling correspondent. There
is an old town and a new town. The
former Is very old and antiquated in
appearance and the latter is very new.
The municipal regulations are severe
and arbitrary. No material but stone
and brick can be used; every stair
way must be of iron; the cellar must
be arched; the walls must be very
thick, according to the size and height
of the house; the beams and girders
must be OF iron or steel and the at
tic floor of tiles or terra Gotta laid in
concrete or cement, and form a fire.
proof wall between the roof and the
rest OF the house. There must be iron
doors at certain places; II there is an
elevator shaft 1t must be of solid ma
sonry. and the roof can be only Of
tiles, slate, or metal. Party walls
must be at least eight inches thick, and
thicker according as the height Of the
house increases, but the height cannot
be greater than the width Of the street

was a grateful king and never forgot
the many kindnesses rendered him by
the good bishop. When he was re-
stored to his throne he pressn ed to the

together with the bell.
This bell was broken in 1887 and
was recast by Louisville bell founders.
The recasting was a complete success,
and in order to retain for it its his
toric surroundings the same metal was
used

ORCHID
I ~ HUNTING VA
. OOOooOoOOOOooa0oO

Probably very few people have any
idea that orchid hunting, like lion or
tiger hunting, is a dangerous sport,
The strange beauty Of the flowers and
the high prices which they bring are
the subject OF common comment, but
the fact that the beauty is sometimes
fatal and that the price is the reward
Of labor that is both strenuous and
perilous is little known outside the
trade.
On a calculation Of chances, how
ever, 1t would appear that shooting
big game is a safe venture compared
with the search for these lovely para
sites of tropical vegetation. An arti-
Gle in Harmsworth's Magazine gives a
striking story in point. 1t relates that
Of eight orchid hunters who left Tam
atave, Madagascar, to look for speci-
mems seven perished within a year,
while the eighth barely managed to es-
cape from the islands swamps with
his health ruined
It ia in such places that the search
must be pursued, and men have lost
their lives in the work not only in
Madagascar, but in Mexico, Brazil,
Ecuador, Venezuela and Sierra Leone.
Nor are the risks those Of climate
blone. 1t may be necessary to deal
with wild animals while on a quest for
the wild flowers, and there are gen
orally hostile natives to be placated.
All that the adventures OF old under
rent when they penetrated the new

is usually between 6S and 80 feet The
houses vary from four to six stories.
Only two thirds Of the area Of the
lot can be covered, except on street
corners. where three-fourths is al
lowed. The remainder Of the lot must
be reserved for courts, for light and
ventilation. All chimney fuos must
be IL by 15 inches. and must be swept
once a month from October to April
by official chimney sweepers.
These regulations have made Stock
holm a beautiful city, with llnperish-
able buildings Of high class Of archi-
lecture. Fires are few. In 1899, the
last year for which l can obtain the
statistics, there were 199 fires in
Stockholm, and the total loss was only
243,232 kroner, about $4,000
American money.

years, he swore big oath that he
would build an apple that should fool
the sailors and enable him to have
some sweet fruit in his cellar for the
winter.
Stunned as the Evil One.
The Indian blood in his veins had
made Grant quick of observation and
enabled him to learn things about ma
ture that are concealed from most
men. He was led to believe that If he
could split the scion from a sweet
tree and another scion from a sour
tree in halves, and place the half Of a
sweet scion against the half of a sour
scion and make them fit so exactly
that both sides would live If they
were inserted in a healthy stock, he
would produce a fu.t that was sour
on one side and sweet on the other
On trying the experiment he found
that such a result was not possible
from the terminal bud o. the twin
scion, but all shoots further down the
graft would yield sweet fruit on one
side and sour fruit on the other.
Though the terminal bud is hard to
make live, Grant was successful in
about one trial out Of ten, and when
his sour and sweet apples were found
growing in the orchard, the builder
of the fruit was pronounced as one
possessed Of Satan, and Stunned by
the truly good as IL he had been an
emissary from the pit.
When 1t was done and his orchard
was grated to sweet and sour apples
the sailors went to other orchards
for their fruit, giving Grant time to
attend prayer meeting, where he be-
came acquainted with clergyman
who wrought his reform. Indeed,
Grant always declared that his CONVEX
sion was directly due to his ability to
produce an apple that was proof
against the sailors, because not only
did the absence Of the thieves enable
him to go to the prayer meetings, but
1t was a fact that a man who could not
swear had no business with an or
chard infested with nocturnal thieves
