GOSSIP FROM:
SCANDINAVIA:

FINLAND.

Some of the Russians appointed on
the police force in Finland are not
quite as good as they might be. One
of them kicked Finnish woman
who was in the family way, and the
result was miscarriage. The news
papers were instructed not to mention
the incident, and the governor re-
fused to permit the woman to insti-
tute legal proceedings against the
policeman.
A prominent Finlander named
Wolff one day noticed Russian gen
darme shocking around in his back
yard. Mr.. Wolff only stared at the
man until he disappeared. That was
enough. Mr.. VOLTS staring at the
Russian uniform was crime, and he
was ordered to leave the country.
A Helsingfors working man was
arrested because he was reading pro-
hibited literature on the street-a his
tory of the wars of independence in
the Netherlands. He was placed in
convicted of stealing clothes. But
the thief was dismissed because he
mentioned an engineer who had ad.
vised him not to serve in the Russian
army, while the man who had been
reading history on the street was kept
in Jail for several days.
DENMARK.
Again little Denmark has stolen a
march on the rest of humanity. She
can already boast of the most intel
ligent farmers in the world. But for
some time past it has been realized
that the tenant farmers are too poor
to take proper advantage of the priv
ileges offered by those institutions
which have been instrumental in plac-
ing the Danish farmer on his present
underground, namely, the so-called
peoples high Schools and the agri-
cultural colleges. The man that made
up his mind to remedy this drawback
is N. j. Nielsen, the son of a tenant
farmer at Klodskov. 1t struck him
that a school might be invented for
the particular benefit of poor tenant
farmers, a school combining the hap
py enthusiasm of the peoples high
school, and the practical work of the
agricultural college. His suggestion
was we'll received. Four years ago
the farmers unions began to discuss
the matter, and two years ago the
rigsdag passed a law for the establish
ment of two schools for tenant far
mers' (husmandsskoler). The first
one of the two schools was opened at
Karehave, near Ringsted, Nov. 4, with
N. J. Nielsen as principal. The school
offers several courses, and the aim of
all of them is to prepare the students
for farming on a small scale. /. The
first course is given in winter, lasting
six months. Both sexes are admitted
to this course. Besides most of the
studies pursued at the peoples high
schools. the following branches are

Old Girl Graduates.

II the likenesses Of girl graduates
which now make an attractive feature
of many newspapers are true to the
life and undoubtedly they are in most
cases. doesn't it seem that those leav-
ing the high schools have remarks
bly, mature look? In some instances
they look to be quite 25 years of age
and as knowing and wise as girls who
really have seen that number of years
are usually found to be in this sophis-
ticated age. 1t seems rather curious,
too, that such young girls should look
so Finished" but 1t is probably just
an evening up Of things in their re-
spective families. as their mothers and
grandmothers are undoubtedly en-
gagged in taking beauty-and-youth-re-
newing cures with years from five to
twenty-five tasen from their ages.
We will record 1t as the result Of an
effort of nature to square accounts.

I don't mean to starve for her. I'm
with ye, Pope"
They sat drinking and talking until
about the hour of eleven. Pope found
the ideas, and Crystal the objections;
and in this fashion they trimmed the
sail Of their ordinary project, till, with
a strange hearty cry. Pope struck a
powerful hand into his friends, say
ing, you see now how it may be
done? Tomorrow we'll dine together
at the Mitre, and thence to Rother-
hithe."
Mr.. William Crossman was a we'll
known character at Rotherhithe in
the early years Of this century.
His public house was after the regu-
lar pattern of low taverns. 1t had a
bar behind which stood sometimes
Mrs. and sometimes Miss Crossman;
and 1t had parlor which was very
comfortably fitted. The place smelled
foully Of acid ale, and was commonly
full Of seafaring men, some Of them
Of rather peculiar type.
Now, after dining at the Mitre, as
had been prearranged, Captain Pope
and Captain Crystal arrived at the
Camperdown public house, and en-
tered.
This is Captain Pope. a friend OF
mine, Miss Angelica" says Crystal,
and Pope fourished his hat to the
lady, who bowed and simpered as she
sank in a curtsey.
Pope was about to order two glasses
OF brandy, when Crystal stopped him
by saying they would drink with Cross
man, and as he spoke Crossman him
self stood in his parlor door taking
view Of the company with his one
eye. He saw Crystal and nodded. and
the two captains Immediately made
for him.
We've come to have a yarn with
you." says Crystal, taking Crossman's
great fist. This is my particular
friend. Captain Pope. Shut the door,
William, for we want to be private"

Miss Crossman placed a bottle Of
brandy upon the table and went out,
languishing at Pope. who had a ve.y
good knowledge of the use of his own
eyes.
'Crossman." says Crystal, opening
fire at once, "I'll tell you what we've
come here to talk to you about. My
friend Captain Pope is the son of a
gentleman who owned quantity OF
plate. This fine silver plate found its
way into the possession OF an old
lady, Captain Pope's aunt but 1t don't

ed Crossman. What might be the
value of this ere plate, sir?"
From twelve to fifteen hundred
pounds" answered Pope. But it'll

to eight hundred"
Crossman nodded as though he
should say, Fire away. don't see
your meaning"
Pope then told him that the plate
was slowed away In lonely house,
near Margate, occupied by the old
lady, and maybe others-he could not
yet tell; that he had once had an idea
OF fetching his property by road; but
was hindered by the troubles and
perils he foresaw when he and his
companions left the house with the
plate.

CHAPTER II.-centinued.

Here the conversation was inter-
rupted by the arrival of supper. and
the two men talked of trivial things
until the conclusion of the meal, when
Pope produced a bottle OF brandy,
to the leveled arm of his guest, began
In sober earnest:
"The idea Of trying for my fortune
~ a pirate came into my head on
hearing OF Jackman's adventure. You
have the spirit of the buccaneer and
know something of the life of the
pirate. Why should not shrewd, res
olute and fearless man easily fill his
hold?"
Given ship, given crew, there
IL plenty to be done, no doubt" said
Crystal. But it's perilous work; it's
short shift If you're nabbed. But why
won't you give me your scheme?"
Captain Pope considered a little.
If satisfy you that it may be done,
will you join me as second in COM
mand"
Yes" answered Crystal like an
echo.
"See here" said Pope, in a low,
cold. emphatic voice. Il want money
to fit out this expedition. Now there
was deal Of valuable plate in my
family and 1t all went, in ways there
Is no need to describe, into the hands

house called Updown, hard by Mar

is mine by right OF my. being my
fathers son. / choose to think it SO,
and I mean to have it." He clenched
his fist and let 1t fall.
THE value?" said Crystal coolly.
"All fifteen hundred pounds"
"Thatll buy you the ship. Where's
the cash to come from to victual
her?"
"Staunton will take three hundred

1t is one of the most lovable traits
In many of our greatest men that
they are as skillful in winning the
hearts of little children as in captivat.
ing the minds of their parents.
Was there ever a great man who
did not love children? If there was
(and we have never heard or read of
him), his greatness was by so much
the less. Even Sam Johnson relaxed
when Boswell's baby daughter held
out her arms to him and pulled his
hair when he was not sufficiently at
tentive to her.
Byron, whose own child life had
been SO saddened and embittered by
a loveless mother, worshipped his lit
tie daughter Ada with all his pas
sionate soul, and history has no
sweeter picture than that of Southey
singing his child to sleep as he paced
the floor with his little burden of
love" in his arms.
Lambs great heart had many
warm corner for his child friends-all
the heart, in fact, that his sister Mary
did not fill; and when he took his
daily walk through Edmonton it was
the signal for all the little children
to flock to him for kiss, a kind
word, or (better than alb to take his
hands or coat tails and accompany
him on his rambles.
1t is little wonder that Charles
Dickens, "the greatest hearted one,"
was idolized by the little ones; for
there never was a more entertaining
companion or one who could better
make himself child again" for their
delight. There are many staid men
and women of to-day who recall with

who was welded to mathematics and
children, had few pleasures apart
from one or the other. His study at
Christ church was a perpetual nur-
sery, its corners and cupboards stuff

appeals to child's heart; and here
or on a river picnic, surrounded by
swarms of his young friends, the
mathematical professor was always a
boy as full of fun and as ripe for
mischief as the youngest of his
guests. May his rest be sweet, this
chief of children's lovers!
