The Danish riksdag session termi-
mated during the latter part of last
month after i sitting in which sever
al impo. tant matters had been dis
posed Of 1t will be especially mem
orable because of it's refusal to enter
tain the governments proposition to
sell the Danish West Indies to the
United States. Of other important
bills passed during the session is the
new government salary bill, which in
creases the salaries of great num-
Der of government employees, and the
tenn. This bill was the last to be taken
I'D during the session and was only
passed after most bitter and vigorous
fight. in which all the political fac
tons participated.
Quite few tourists have already ar
rived in Copenhagen, principally
Americans and Englishmen. The local
tout list bureau officials state that the
prospects for the season are the very
best and believe that more tourists will
take the favored Scandinavian route
-Copenhagen-Sto holm Christiania-
than for some years. The cessation
of the Boer war will add to the En-
glish influx of tourists, and among
Americans Denmark is steadily gain
ing favor as an exceptionally interest
ing country to visit.
When King Christian returns during
| the latter part of July from his recre-
alton trip in southern Europe, the eX-
ecutive residence of the king will be
Fredensborg castle. This is King
Christians favorite summer resi-
dence During the latter part of the
summe large assembly of guests
from the European royal houses will
here gather around the aged mon
arch, among which King Edward Of
England and Gar Nicholas of Russia
will be the most prominent.
In the presence of members of the
ministry and diplomatic corps, as well
as prominent dignitaries of the Dan
ish church, monument erected in
honor of the late Bishop Fog was un-
yelled May %. Bishop Fog was, dur
ing his time, one Of the leaders of &C.
clessiastical thought in Denmark, and
| was scholar of rare distinction. The
monument was modelled by the ia
nous sculptor, Saaby, and stands in

/ The famous landscape painter, Will

Immediately paid visit to Bjornst-

their gratitude in behalf Of their coun-
try for the great poem which the au-
thor recently has published and in
which the Russian policy was severe
ly arraigned. They will remain In
Norway until about July, when they
will return to Stockholm, where they
have enjoyed the sympathy and hos
pitality of the entire city.
The engineers engaged in the build
ing of the Bergen railroad are con-
fronted with almost insurmountable
obstacles in the wild mountain regions
of the inland. / etWeen Voss and
Tangevaud, the cost of building ag-
gregates not less than 100000 Clowns
per kilometer. Almost one-fourth OF
this stretch will run through tunnel,
but when it is completed it will be
great and lasting monument to mod
ern engineering skill.
Foreign capital is still seeking profit
able fields for investment in mineral
properties. The copper fields near
Trondhjem have just been sold to
foreign company for 125,0O0 crowns
and the la ge graphite deposits near
Hassel are also passing into foreign
hands if negotiations at present pend
| ing are contaminated.
Latest reports from the fishing areas
show that the total catch now aggre-
gates not less than 3S,500,O00 cod,
which is only one-half million less than
last years total Consequently, there
is every prospect that before the fish
ing season is over, the dark prospects
and losses of tie early season will
have been recovered.
An attempt will be made in the
Christiania postoffice to use stamping
machines instead of the ordinary pa
per stamps on all domestic mails. 1t
is expected that this reform, it success

of the constantly increasing mail mat
ter.
Mrs. Oda Krogh's wonderful paint

the summer in Norway and will return
to her Paris home in September.
The first tourists Of the season ar
rived in No way last week. The party
consisted Of one American, an English

Christiania.

There can be no doubt that the near
future will bring about some definite
settlement of the delicate union ques-
ton, as the serious minded part of the
people are realizing with growing force
that continuation of the bitter and
acrimonious contest will only lead to-
disastrous results for the two coun-
tries. The following editorial in one
Of the leading Christiania dailies may
be said to point to an awakening sense
of responsibility: 1.-THE hour is draw
ing near5when the question Of the indel
pendence Of the north will stare us
threateningly in the face. Prophetic
gifts are not needed to 'foretell that
when this hour arrives the freedom
and sovereignty of the two countries
will depend on compact union What
then does true statesmanship compel
either1a vain and fruitless .endeavor to
soothe the wounded pride or an earn
est search for the road which will lead
to a friendly and harmonious under
standing. Two quarreling parties can
either arbitrate their differences or
they can fight. sEhe latter alternative
Norway and Sweden can never choose.

Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

Morals Versus Law.

The relation of law to morals is
searching and suggestive a study
the other. The attempt to make ne
moral by the enactment of law is
futile as the imagination of moral
without reference to law as it. is dt
yeloped, illustrated and applied in tn
kaspel of Jesus Christ. For instance
the great difficulty of legislation abou
the supreme question or temperate,
lies here. Neither will prohibition pre-
vent drunkenness, nor will the mer.
signing of a pledge make a mar
temperate. Just as restraint, helped
undoubtedly by promise. is essen
tial to the individual, so restriction
seems the only legal remedy for q.
cess.

Kentucky Soldiers.

'I remember how shocked some of
the boys from Ohio were on one of our
first scouting expeditions says a
veteran. 1--WE were prowling along s
ravine when the scouts or skirmish
ers reported armed men on the other
side of the stream. There was some
confusion, but before instructions
could be given ont of our men fired
at a man who had shown himself well
up the hill, and whose body a minute
later came tumbling down toward us.
our scout had recognized man who,
as the leader of a guerrilla band, had
burned the house of his father and
driven the family from the neighbor-
hood, and had shot him through the
head. Thereupon the guerrillas scat
tered and our own men discussed the
shooting with many expressions OF
diSapprOval.
THAT light several Kentuckians dis
appeared from camp, and we learned
later that they had joined some men
of another regiment, pursued the rebel
guerrillas and had killed three more
of them. One day our company came
suddenly on a superior force of the
enemy and the order was to retreat.
Some of the men took to the woods,
however, and rallying some of their
old neighbors serving in other COM
panies, ambushed the rebels and drove
them back. AS they put it, they were
in the service to fight the rebels, and
if they couldn't do it one way they
would another. Many men of this
character were in Wolford's First Ken
lucky cavalry, and were notrious for
their disposition to scatter over the
country on a march,

note 1t bore no signature and con-
tanned no assurance of sympathy for
the Southern cause, but it was so
terse and explicit in its terms as to
compel my confidence. The second
day we were in front of Wrightsville,
and from the high ridge, on which this
note suggested that 1 halt and ex-
anime the position of the Union troops
1 eagerly scanned the prospect with
my field glasses in order to verify the
truth of the mysterious communica-
ton or detect it's Misrepresentation.
There, in full view before us, was the
town, just as described, nesting ON
the banks of the Susquehanna There
was the blue line of soldiers guarding
the approach, drawn up as indicated,
along an intervening ridge and across
the pike. There was the long bridge
spanning the Susquehanna and con-
Meeting the town with Columbia on
the other bank. Most important of all
there was the deep gorge or ravine
running off to the right and extending
around the left flank of the Federal
line and to the river below the bridge.
Not an inaccurate detail in that note
could be discovered. l did not hest
tate, therefore, to adopt it's suggestion
of moving down the gorge in order to
throw my command on the flank, or
possibly in the rear of the Union
troops and force them to a rapid re-
treat or surrender. The result of this
movement indicated the strategic wis

genius for precision, has resolved to
have one place where one may at all
times exercise the dull specter of
lives that must at some stage knit its
brows; where life may be gay and
joyous in any measure, from the so
Der, sedate pleasures of the steady
going, to sle widest fantasies of the
foolish spendthrift. All are served At
Paris, whether bright or dull, rich or
poor, sordid or spiritual, banal or not.
The French have always said SO,
and the world to-day makes the fair
city on the Seine it's play-yard. Amuse-
ment has there become a fine art
How it is done becomes therefore
nowadays worthy of a serious study.
F. Berkeley Smith has ventured, not
perhaps very serious attempt, but
1ght-hearted commentary by one evil
IDENTIFY having full knowledge at
first hand of his subject. His How
Paris Amnses ITSELF published by
Funk e Wegnalls, bears on its face the
impress Of the real observer, who tells
not how 1t may be done elsewhere,
for that would need a Partisan tradi-
ton to make possible, but how Paris
meets the task of amusing.
What shall we do next?" says the
weary new arrival in Paris, and Smith
shows what he may do. There are the
cafes, open as the air, where the pass
ing throng may, if it will, appraise
your menu, or envy your appetite.
There is everything to see, often too
much for sensitive souls, but art is not
all staid and prim, and why the art OF
amusing? The restaurants tempt for
the evening. glittering or not, as the
purse may prompt the choice. Here
good taste and refinement rule; there,
they do not, and, having dined,. there

Links Past and Pre.ent.

A man who sang in the Rev. Patrick
Bronte's choir in Haworth has Just
died, and the circumstance has direct
ed attention anew to the fact that
Charlotte Bronte's husband, the Rev.
A. B. Nichols, is still alive. He lives
near Banagher, in Kings county, Ire
land, and is described as a hale and
hearty octogenarian. The author OF
Jane Eyre" died forty-eight years ago.
Though Mr.. Nichols married again, he
reverently observes the anniversary of
the birth and death of the famous
woman who was his wife for brief
and pathetic period.
