At a meeting of the shareholders Of
the De Beers Mining company the
chairman stated that the De Beers and
Kimberley mines had been in full
swing for 80 years, and were new pro-
ducing diamonds to the value of es,-
100000 annually. The company's
three mines at Dutoitspan, Bultfon-
tein, and Premier had four and a half
times the are of the other two, and
had been little worked thus far. If
the De Beers and Kimberley mines
we're worked out the company would
still be able to maintain it's output for
IA years. The company was now
getting a better price for diamonds,
and as soon as normal conditions re-
turned the profits would considerably
increase. He added that the stock of
rough diamonds in London'was never
lower than. now.

fee, which he would have wished to
avoid.
1t was stated that the shareholders
annual profits amounted to 100000.

DENMARK.
A number of Danish, capitalists are
ready to organize a powerful company
for doing business in the Danish West
Indies if they are not sold to the Unit
ed States. One of the features of the
plan is the establishment OF, a steam
ship line between Denmark and the
islands.
Compared with the English Ian
guage, for instance, Danish is a very
pure language. But it is not pure
enough to suit the tastes of a gentle
man who calls himself Per S%progvild
and writes a book which reminds us
of Elias Molee's efforts to purify the
English language. It goes without
saying that Per Sprogvild wants to
kick out all foreign words. But even
a host of good Danish words are
passed by the board. To him many
Danish words are Objectionable sim
ply because they were constructed On
the same plan as the corresponding
German words. "Videnskab" (sci-
ence) looks and sounds too much like
the German 'w~issenschaft" to please
Per sprogvild, and he suggests ''vidst"
i. place OF it. Instead of historic"
he wants "Sagd," from the old word
saga" The author has a sound basis
of linguistic knowledge to work on,
but he is, to use one of his new
words, too much of "a "kuldvarp''
(revolutionist) to accomplish his pur-
pose.
The servant girls of Copenhagen
demand the right to vote at the bust
ness meetings of their congregations.
At a large mass meeting they not
only aired their views on that SUBJ
ject, but they also spoke many harsh
words about their grievances as a
class. Their leader is Miss Marie
Christensen, who is as heartily loved
by the girls as she is feared and hated
by the housewives of Copenhagen.
Georg Brandes, in a discourse on
words, says that it is humiliating to
write such words as ''deputation" and
representation" but it must be done
because there are no corresponding
Danish words.

hagen. The feet of a Waterman at
the Vestervold entrance to the court
house are unduly exposed to the cold
weather. The head j%anitor thinks the
man ought to have fur boots. He
makes a rough>draft of a letter which
his Office clerk writes with great care
on a large sheet of paper. A copy is
made of the letter, which is registered
in the journal of the head janitor and
sent to the counting-room. Here it is
again registered, and when the chief
clerk has made a thorough study Of
the subject he o. KS the document
and forwards it to Mayor Borup, who
takes under advisement whether he
alone should decide such an important
matter or submit it to the entire ex-
ecutive board. If Mayor Borup chooses
the first alternative he dictates a re-
ply to the counting-room, and when
this reply is registered at the mayors
Office and the counting-room it is
passed to the chief j%anitor, who also
makes a careful register of it. Now,
at last, the Waterman will get the
needed boots, if spring weather has
not set in or he is down with some
nalady caused by exposure.

VerdenS Gang devOteS half a column
to a scourging criticism of the Steen
cabinet on account of it's failure to
push the settlement of the consular
service questions. The inactivity of
the cabinet has almost compelled the
Swedes to make the first move in this
matter, the paper says:
"The Norwegians r a strange peo-
ple," says a contributor to Verdens
Gang. "From the dawn of the history
Of their country until this moment
they have been quarreling among
themselves. At the opening of the
new century the civilized countries in
all continents are fastening forward
and applying their energies to pro-
ductive efforts. Not so with the Nor
wegians. They are dividing them
selves into two hostile camps IN the
question of language reform! The
cities arm themselves against the
country, the Immigrants are put up
against the genuine aborigines., This
latest struggle threatens to be the
means of wasting some of our best en-
ergies for a great length Of time. 1t
is a dead weight that hampers us very
seriously as a nation. And with this
we have to enter the new century,"
It has been ascertained that 60 per
cent of the pupils of the Kristiania
Cathedral School have only bread and
butter and coffee for breakfast, and
the same for supper, except that tea
takes the place of coffee. In a few
cases a little cheese is used with the
butter. The dinner is fairly substan-
tial. The result is not encouraging.
The children are getting pale and

Those who are in favor of the Nor

The waterfalls committee has pre-
pared a new report on the. improves
ment of the Trollhattan falls. 1t is
proposed to divide the falls between
the government and the Tro11hattan
electric company. The flow of water
is estimated at $50 cubic meters q
second. The plan provides that each
of the two parties shall build a power
station at a cost exceeding $1,000,000.
The fall at the proposed site of the
government station is about so feet,
furnishing about $4,000 horse powers,
and the other station would furnish
$4,000 horse powers.
Punch that Punched Out the Win
dows.-Two young men in Helsing-
borg thought they might as well pre-
pare their own punch for Christmas
Day, and early in the morning the
proper ingredients were placed on 9
hot stove. The alcohol was soon
raised to the boiling point, and the
fumes were ignited by coming in con-
tact with a flame. A violent explosion
was the result. The window lights
were blown out on the street and
the curtains were blown up before the
punch brewers recovered from the eff
fects of their establishment. No one
was injured; but the punch passed
into painless space, and the yawning
window openings gave the young men
a peck of trouble because no glazier
could be induced to ply his trade on
Christmas day.
A registered letter containing $40,
was sent from Sweden to a Miss Tyra
Anderson, who was residing in
France, but the postal authorities Of
France paid out the money to a wrong
person. The Swedish authorities hold
that the French government should
stand the loss and pay the $40 to Miss
Anderson, while the post Office depart
ment of France maintains that Miss
Anderson, and not the. French gov
eminent, was cheated by the transac-
ton. Neither party being disposed to
yield, the dispute will have to be set
tied by international arbitration. The
postmaster general of Sweden intends
to request the post Office department
of Austria to represent Sweden in the
court of arbitration.

Chinese Ruler Closely Guarded

Foreigners Ill Treated
OFFENSIVE ATTITUDE is SHOWN
Return of the Court to Pekin Brings
Little Assurance to the Allied Powers
CORES pondent of a New York
Paper Arrested-AIso Party From the
American Legation.

Pekin, Dec. 16.-The return of the
summer palace and after several post
ponements revealed several new feat
ures of the situation in China. One of
these was that the dowager empress is
again apprehensive regarding the en-
peror, who has been closely imprisoned
in the summer palace all the time and
who was surrounded by an enormous
guard on the route to Pekin during the
return journey.
In the second place, the return of the
court showed a different feeling on the
part of high officials, officers surround
ing the court, and members of the
grand council toward foreigners.
For the first time since the return of
the court from Sian Flu, after the boxer
troubles had been settled foreigners
who assembled along the route travers-
ed by the court ON its home coming,
were Ill treated. Some We're arrested,
commanded to make obeisance to the
court before the natives, ana detained
under heavy military guard until the
royal cavalcade had passed by.
An officer of the foreign board ar
rested the correspondent of the New
York Sun, and when a protest was
made, he said the authorities had is
sued orders that foreigners should be
arrested. A party from the American
legation, which included two women,
also was arrested.
1t is understood that the dowager
empress has been apprehensive for
some time that the emperor would es-
cape or meet with some misadventure,
and that this feeling on her part is on
the increase. The foreign office denies
however, that there has been any dis
cussion as to the selection Of a new heir
apparent.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.
