the adjustment of protective duties
on the necessities of life. The strong
democratic parties in Norway and
Denmark welcome the organization as
q token of better understanding be-

party in the ordinary sense Of the
term that Sweden has had since the
FLATS and Caps" which was destroyed
in 1872.
FriherFe Johan Victor Pfeiff, the
well-known relfgious-philosoph writ
er and translator, died Aug. 1. aged
u years. He has been known as the
chief promoter and champion of more
liberal religion. He was a son of Ma
ior Daniel Pfeiff and was born in Up
land, Nov. s, 1929. Ever since he was
graduated from Upsola university in
1S49 he has devoted himself to writing
religious philoSOphic treatises and
TRANSACTIONS. His translations of
Ralph Waldo Emerson's works into the
Swedish are considered excellent.
During the last years of hiA life he
was much interested in theosophy and
wrote series Of interesting articles
on that subject for The Teosofisk It'd
skrift in Stockholm. .

have recently been appearing In every
corner Of Sweden and Norway, but

ton for periods of from eight to |
twelve months.
Emigration from Sweden has been
steadily Increasing during the past six
months. Within this period 1867
persons left for foreign shores. Last
year the emigration during the same
period was not so large, there being
,nly 8,424. Nearly all of those emf
grating are young men, and with few
they all come to America,
which they have chosen for their
adopted land. Lack of employment
md the apparent prosperity of visiting
swedish-Americans, Is what leads
,ood many young men to emigrate to
he United States. (.
