known in the market as "the genuine
Telge Cracknel.' And thus goes glim-
mering the monopoly of the Sodertelge
Kringlor.

Admiral Hagg, Of the navy, was pun
ished very severely for a misdemeanor
which was not very aggravating. Min
lister of Marine Dyrssen is denounced by
the press on the score that the punish
ment inflicted was contrary to the con-

rules of the navy are independent of the
constitution. The next move on the part
of his opponents was to propose a change
in the rules which would harmonic them
with the constitution. To this PROPOSE
ton he answered, "It is we'll enough as
we lave it," which proves him to be OPP
posed to any change in the rules. It is
very likely that the words just quoted
will cost Mr.. Dyrssen his seat in the

ware is a preacher who, on account Of
his old age, claims to be the head of the
