Though a native of America, Mrs. Evald
was sent to Sweden to be educated. She
was admitted to famous girls school,
open only to the daughters Of ministers
and noble families, and the popularity OF
the American-born girl is Indicated by
painting of the school sent to her after
ward and now hanging in her home at
218 SedgWic1 street, Chicago. Miss Carl
son imbibed many Swedish ideas, some
of them unconsciously, but when, as
young woman of IS, she returned home,
some of them were forcibly impressed
upon her by the contrast with American
customs
One OF these was the difference in the
status Of woman in the two countries. In
Sweden she noted that women who paid
taxes enjoyed the right to vote, but what
appealed to her most strongly was the.
fact thar female members Of the church
in Sweden were permitted to vote in
church affairs. The American system
seemed to be the less fair because of the
great demand on the women in the church
work, while in Sweden the women have
comparatively easy time in church mat
ters.
When it was proposed to send an in
ternational committee Of women to appear
before congressional committees and
urge the adoption Of a woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution, Mrs.
Evald was asked by the Fredrika Brem
81 dSSOCldIlOn OIL SWGu6n 10 represent
that organization, which stands for
suffrage and other benefits for the fair
sex In King Oscars kingdom. This re-
quest is a delicate compliment to Mrs.
Evald's position in the Swedish world
and high honor to her personality, for
the association includes many members of
the nobility and many of the most learned
men and women Of Sweden. DR.. Hide
brand, the royal antiquarian, for example,
was It's president for years, and the Bar
oness s. Sole Aldersparre has long been
one of Its leaders.
Mrs. Evald' told the. congressman that
she had the proud distinction of being the
only delegate that represented men as
we'll as women. She also astonished them
by asserting that women in Sweden had
voting privileges as early as the seven
teenth century, long before there was any
such thing as an American citizenship,
and she referred to decree Of 1885 con-
flrming those rights. sd. co. -....

A Swedish Invention.

Consul Robert S. S: Bergh of Grand Forks,
N. D., who is now United States. consul at
Gothenburg, Sweden, in one of his consular
reports, makes mention of an invention which
will be Of particular interest to engineers.
He says:
"a Swedish invention which ought to have
good future is that for oiling piston rods,
cylinders, slide rods and slide guides on loco
motives. WHICH has been invented by q. F.
on the state railroads. Formerly cylinders
and slide guides have, at best, received neces-
sary fabrication from the central steam-lubri
eating apparatus, but piston rods and slide
rods with packings have been fabricated by
means Of old+fashioned oil cups with wick
feed which method, for many reasons, has
proved unsatisfactory-esp when metal
packngs are used Mr.: Malmros, by intro
ducng the intermixed oil and steam, coming
from the central misunderstanding apparatus,
through glander bushings expressly con-
structed for this purpose, has effected good
and economical fabrication of packings and
rods, as well as of the cylinders and slide
guides"

that Pillsbury did not make the most Of his

her annual visit to Angmagsalik on the
east coast of Greenland This is the only
station that Denmark has on the east
coast. 1t was founded five or six years
ago for the purpose Of trading with the
natives and carrying on missionary work
among them.
The east coast has always been regarded
as, very difficult to approach on account
of the masses Of foe ice which press
against 1t during the summer season. In
every year, however, since the station
was started, it has been reprovisioned by
steamer from Denmark.

COMMENT.
Trick Mote the irregular and senseless
play made by. West in his endeavor to get
the finesse against the turned queen.
Trick North knows West is strong in
trumps and from the previous plays made by
the Columbus players he probably thought
that the deuce was the only heart held by
West. He, however, was so weak In trumps
that his only play was the return of the
heart, hoping to force West again into the
lead
Trick 3-South reads the situation and con-
cludes that his hand warrants trump lead
even though West has called. Note the low
lead in trumps. The return of the heart by
North has told South that he has no trumps,
SO South proceeds to show his opponents just
as many trumps as possible.
Trick East continues the trump in re-
Spouse to his partners original demand
Tricks and Gin his anxiety to catch the
queen, which South had turned, East neglects
to show number and West takes his last
trump, supposing it to be with South, as he
had shown four by his low lead.
Trick West now opens the spades which
he should have done originally and which he
probably would have done had the suit had
two. three or four at the bottom. This
however. is one Of the unpleasant features Of
