LECTURE ON IBsEN.
by Juul Dieserud Of the conSre.

BY Juul Dfeserud of the Con~rex
stona1 Library.
An interesting and able lecture on
Henrik Ibsen was delivered recently be-
fore the Washington Library associa-
ton by JUL Dieserud, Of the catalogue
department of the Congressional libra
ry. The association, though composed
mostly Of library folk, includes the sci
ent1fic men in the employ of the govern
ment and officials of the Smithsonian
institute, the national museum, and
others. Ibsen was represented as pi-
oneer in his particular field of dramatic
form and his analytical methods. In q
way, he adopted the style of old Greek
tragedies, and usually kept close to the
Greek ideal of unity of time
Ibsen's originality, his views on life,
his tireless warfare against all evils
which have grown up under present So
cial conditions, we're discussed at some
length.
He contemplated a new form of relis-
ion which should reconcile the spirit
with nature, the kingdom of the CALI
lean with the classic world. The lee
turer also spoke of Ibsen's analysis of
the marital relations which were not
founded on true love, and on this theme
he referred particularly to the feminine
characters which are so prominent in
al Of Ibsen's dramas.
In conclusion, Mr.. Dieserud declared
that 1bsen's fame rested largely on his
absolutely original characters, taken
from actual life. which had no compari-
sons outside of Shakespeare's plays, and
which would surely make his name i'm
mortal.

A protest against Russian aggression,
bearing the signatures Of 100000 Finnish
men and women-more than one-fifth Of
the total population-has been sent to
the car. who failed to pay any atten-
ton to it. The ministers in many par
ishes have refused to proclaim the new
CONSUMPTION law from their pulpits. on
account of it's unconstitutionality, and
in other parishes the reading Of the OBJ
noxious law has been Interrupted by
the cor gregations.
A scene characteristic of the Russian.
government, as well as Of the temper of
the people, occurred in country church
few Sundays ago. The regular parish
minister having refused to read the OBJ
noxious law. although knowing that his
refusal exposed him to dismissal and
punishment. the authorities prevailed
upon another and less scrupulous cler-
gyman to do the reading.
The moment the stranger appeared In
the pulpit, a venerable member Of The
