NOrrbotten you maym see structures
of poles that look like short sections
of tall rail fence. These are called
''hasjor," and on them the grass is laid
up to dry as fast as it is moved. Thus
the wind is made to help the sun in the

Dairying and the raising of cattle
and horses are important branches of
Swedish agriculture. In fact, the
Swedes are going more and more into
these lines. and cultivating the regular
crops somewhat less than formerly.
The quality of the grass in the fields
and pastures makes this profita BILE.
Sweden exports butter to the value of

raises sufficient for the maintenance
of her own people and a surplus for ex

Sweden'S fisheries are also source
of profit. Immense quantities of fish
are eaten at home and about S., 600, 900
worth are annually sent abroad.
Netaly half the land, asshown by the

export of the kingdom. A great part.
The Scandinavians liken their country
in it's physical features to boat turned
bottom up. Along the boundary be-
tween Sweden and Norway runs high
plateau, and this is called Kolen, or
the keel. This runs in the same general
direction as the peninsula. In this
high field numerous rivers have their
sources. Upon this enormous water
shed the chief timber forests stand.
Into these woods the Swedish lumber
men go every fall with their axes, and
it is in this great numbering district
thai the famine now has its grip.
The average export of unmanufac
tured lumber from Sweden approx
mates $26,00O,000, chiefly sawed stuff.
About one-fifth of the lumber exported
is in the shape of square timber, spruce
logs for piling in Holland, yards and
booms in England, and masts of fish

are short timbers used for propping up
the rock strata in English coal mines.
| One of the regular economies of the
Swedes, in good times as in bad, is the
winter fodder for the sheep. In Au-
gust the traveller sees little yellow bun
dies hanging upon the birch trees in
the field. These are little sheafs of
birch twigs. They are cut off, bound
up, hung up until they are thoroughly
dried, and taken home for the sheep.
Family life in Sweden is beautifully

IMPORT DUTY INCREASED.
Action of Venezuelan to Raise In-
demnity Asked by Allied
Powers.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The following
cablegram was received at the state
department Wednesday from Mr.. Rus
sell, who is in charge of the United
States legation at Caracas during the
absence of Minister Bowen:
Minister foreign affairs Venezuela
has decreed 80 per cent. increase duties
on all imports as war measure
just why this decree was issued by
the minister of foreign affairs, instead
,of President Castro in the ordinary
course, puzzles the officials here. The
action recorded in the cablegram,
however, is regarded as a keen stroke
of political finesse, for practically it
amounts to placing the indemnity
which Venezuela is to pay the powers
wholly upon the shoulder of the for
eign merchants who conduct all of
Venezuela's import trade.
TheDincrease mentioned-30p per cent.
is the same figure as the percentage
of custom dues at La Guayra and Por-
to Cabello to be assigned to the claim
ant nations.

ficially here that diplomatic relations
between Germany and Venezuela have
been renewed. TIL new minister, Herr
Pelldram, will sail for Caracas imme-
diately.

Sims, desperate negro, was killed by
the police early Friday morning in a
negro boarding house situated on

show the farm land to be somewhat
less in extent than the lake surface.
In spite of the fact that it is but
comparatively small area that is de-
voted to agriculture it is still true tina
farming is the principal pursuit of
the Swedes. And even if there is only
eight per cent. of the whole it amounts
in round figures to S,027 900 acres. That
is at the rate of possibly little over
three acres for every single inha bitant.
To one not before familiar with the
conditions it is surprising how nearly
this proportion Of three acres and one
person comes to being a practice as
well is theory. Census returns show
that % per cent. of the entire ara bic
land is divided into little homesteads
where the farmer tills less than five
acres; Sc per cent. into farms between
five and so acres each; and the number
of farms between so and $50 acres com
prise only about ten per cent. The
great estates Of over $50 acres are only
one per cent. of the cultivated area.
The grain and pod crops average
SIS 5000 a year in value, and the po-
tato crop yields an additional $20,0o0,-
600. More than half the land seeded
with grain is given to oats. Rye and
barley come next in Importance, and
wheat is a compare lively small crop.
Indian corn never ripens anywhere on
the Scandinavian peninsula, it is only
in the middle and southern provinces
that the wheat can be grown.
Of course hay is raised, as it is every
where else where grass will grow, but
in the far north, the heat of the sun
is insufficient TO cure the hay. In

trait of Gentleman" Now it is in
scribed with the name of Henry G.
Marquand, once president of the mu-
scum, newly dead and well remem-
bered.
Marquand gave point to Mr.. Carne-
gie's maxim that he who dies rich dies
dishonored. That's paradox; you've
to understand it comparatively. In Mr..
Marquand's case it means that he left
personal property of about million
and a half. He had once been worth
ten times that sum. Twice he gener-
ously spent his money to rescue a son
who bore his own name into Wall
street, and there twice met failure.
The assets" of more than two mil
lions which Mr.. Marquand held against
his sons vanquished firms are worth
nothing. The old man who looks so
sadly out from Sargent's canvas used
every effort to pay for his sons. and
his sons associates what they owned,
though he was in no way liable.
Marquand might, like Marie, have
been one of New York's powerful mil
lionaires With his great fortune and
his opportunities as they were 20 years
ago, he needed only to go on piling up
money. Instead he piled up gratitude
in the heart of New Workers of dis
elimination until the pile reached the
the roof of the Metropolitan museum.
For that mighty institution, all the
bigger in that it is but three-sevenths
grown, is his work more than that Of
any other man. Taste, skill and in
clination impelled him to the purchase
of great pictures; the people have the
benefit. Where w. II. Vanderbilt paid
for a single Haunting picture more
than 100000. so that the very price
was part of the advertisement for Il
man who knew nothing of art, Mr. Mar
quand bought with judgment picture
after picture which had not reached
their highest value, whose value was
indeed enhanced by his critical APP
proval.
There are some Americans who have
had this gift-Mrs. Shaw, of Boston,
Mr. Marquand, Mr.. Walters, of Balti-
more, and some others. 1t is due to
them that the art of Millet, for in
stance, cannot be studied except by
coming to America. The prescience of
Mr. Marquand can best be read in the
catalogue of the Metropolitan. He
was money plus intelligence, and the
intelligence was the greater part.

They were enormously rich for those
days. The last of his race made no eff
fort to grasp at more wealth; L pre-
sumo he may have had a million dol
lars or so besides his unique art col
lections. He was acknowledged a lead
er in the best society, the society that
is not willing to measure everything
by the dollar mark. Some have called
him the leader of that society upon its
masculine side as Mrs. Astor is upon
the feminine. They have called him
prettier names than that-the Penden-
mis- of New York, for instance; and,
best of all, 'Uncle Peter" title given
him no more often by the golden girls
of the avenue than by the children of
the poor whom he loved. 1t was title
of honor for one of natures noblemen.
The man had a romance. What it
was neither you nor | shall ever know,
but it left it's traces in him, not in bit
terness, but in gentle manners. The
loveliest thing under the sum-" he used
to say, sis a beautiful woman" And
to his last day he lived surrounded by
women worthy of the adjective. For
his hobby it was to have miniatures
painted of the women whom he knew,
SO that in time he came to have col
lection of $50 little portraits by IA
nous miniaturists of both continents
of such women as Mrs. Ladenburg, Mrs.
Henry Clews, Jr., Mrs. j. Kennedy Tod,
Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt, Mrs. Richard
HINT Mrs How'd Price Mrs Aston
Mrs. Elliott, who was Sally Hargous,
the famous belle of more than a day;
Mrs. Buchanan Winthrop and Mrs.
Grover Cleveland.
These he has left to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and valuable legacy
they are for the public.
