Inc steamer KOddam, which escaped
from the Martinique disaster in an
almost miraculous manner, was the
means of advertising Swedish
matches. Out of a crew of ,forty-four
men only nineteen survived, and 12O
tons of burning ashes fell on the deck
of the ship. When the deck was
cleared a dozen boxes of matches
made in Sweden" were found COM
pletely unscathed. The fact that they
did not take fire proved that the label
ON the boxes told the truth when it
stated that the matches take fire
only against the tablet ON the box
The authorities of Venersborg have
passed an ordinance prohibiting ''out-
door work which causes such loud
and disagreeable noise that the people
of the neighborhood are inconveni-
enced or suffer damage thereby" The
royal functionary of Elfborg province
has ratified the ordinance.
On June 30 zoos men were en-
ployed by. the Separator Manufacture
ing company, Stockholm. Of this
number 65S were old men and $50
were new. The work is now carried
on practically on the same scale as be-
fore the strike.
The Jordberga Sugar Refining COM
pany has donated $27o to the Skurup
peoples high school.
Forest fires were raging in many
places in northern Sweden the 25th of
June. Large tracts of timber had al
ready been destroyed at Sveg and Fo-
gelsjo, and still larger territory was
ravaged by the flames between Lill-
herbal and Ossa. In the neighborhood
of Borgsjo fire broke out almost 81
simultaneously at five different places.
At DYSON the railway station was
threatened. A special train was sent
there from Sundsvall with firernen,
and later in the day one hundred
men went there with the regular ex-
press train. The town of Nordanede
was threatened. The dry weather
and the high wind prevailing: at the
time made the work of checking the
flames very difficult. Immense clouds
of smoke rolled across northern Hell
singland.
Oscar Sternberg, consul of Sweden
and Norway at Karlsruhe, is advocat-
ing the establishment of museum of
exports in connection with the prop
er department of the national govern
ment as a practical way of encourage
ing and facilitating the export trade.
The plan comprises similar institu-
ton in Kristiania.
The chilly northeast winds which
prevailed for weeks during the early
summer in eastern Skane were respon-
sible for great deal of sickness, es-
pecially among the children. The
most common ailments were colds,
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough, etc. Many children died, and
the grim old man with the scythe
reaped an exceedingly heavy crop
among the old people of that part of
the country.

A Fine Lot of Men.

A score of men so lacking in cour-
age that they would not scale two
story house and break in a window,
permitted little 4-year-old Max
Beach to burn to death III his grand
mothers home, 1717 Third street NE,
Minneapolis.
The child could be seen at the win
dow and his agonizing screams could
be heard above the cracking of the
flames. But no man stirred, and it
was not until the fire department ar
rived that an attempt was made to
save the little one.
Then 1t was too late, for by tho
| time the fremen were able to enter
the attic of the house where the
child had been playing, he was dead
His charred body was removed to the
morgue.
The boy went to the attic in the
morning to play and found some
matches. With these he set fire to
| the woodwork. Smoke poured from
the roof, and switching crew on the
Northern Pacific saw the child with
his face pressed against the glass,
crying for assistance.
Men and women stood about watt
ing for the firemen, but none lifted .
hand to save the boy. In plain sight
of the crowd the little child pounded
! on the window and again and again
attempted to brush away the suffo-
eating smoke. At last he fell back
unconscious.
The smoke soon grew so thick that
the window was obscured, and when
the tiremen came it was impossible

tinguishing the flames that threaten
ed the destruction of the house.
Finally the flames were subdued

Kidnapped.
When Miss Bertha Pfeifer, residing
two miles southwest of Montgomery,
was on her way to the teachers
training school, she was asked by a
woman and man to take ride
upon refusing, the woman got out of
the buggy, grabbed Miss Pfeifer. and,
with the assistance of the man, drag
ged her into the buggy and drove
| south.
Near Waterville, where they in
tended to feed their horses, Miss
Prefer got out of the buggy and
made a dash for the woods and es-
capped to farmers house about a
mile away. He took her to Water
| vile.
The kidnappers told the girl they
were going to take her to Council
Bluffs and get a large sum of money
for her ransom from her father, who
is wel1-to-do farmer. The man had
a light mustache and both he and the
woman were we'll dressed. They
drove covered buggy with the lap
robe pulled up high.
Miss Pfeifer was given some kind
of drug, and she was unable to cry
for help. Her assailants have so far
| eluded all search.

growers will try Mr.. RudisaiPs plan,

the only solvent remedy that can

comparing it's size with that of q full

every trc" and shrub bleak and barc,
