boots Of General Miles, joins them In
trying to humiliate the man who
fought upon hundred fields without
fear and without reproach. The per-
sistent efforts to eXasperate and be-
little General Miles during the war
with Spain and since was due to jeal-
ousy and fear Of his becoming too
powerful. He was refused the active
command Of the army in Cuba, and
for his exposure of the rotten beef
scandal-the whole truth Of which has
not yet been told-he was considered
politically dangerous to the Republican
oligarchy that have been in command.
That he has always been a consistent
though independent Republican and so
thoroughly honest and capable that
the powers that be could not buy or
cajole him were the reasons for his
htstreatment.
That the official slight to General
Miles was concocted by hiA enemies
was aot so much to be wondered at,
but that President Roosevelt should
aid and countenance their meanness
and hold back what was justly due
from the commander-in-chi to the
brave general, shows the vast differ
ence between the greatness and little
ness of soul that should be expected
Of a President of the United States.

ODD CUSTOMS OF NORWAY.
Sunday Begins Saturday Night ana
Is4Reafa4Nded as a Time
1ai< for Pleasure.

One marked characteristic Of the
people Of Norway is their intense
and artictic love of flowers. They
neyer heap them in indiscriminatt
masses. but the poorest peasant WON
an win gather few of the wild bios.
SONS which grow at her door and
arrange them in glass at her window
with an exquisite taste and feeling
which are good to see. The custom
obtains with high and low, and flowers
are as necessary to a Norwegian dinner
table as the food.
* The religion of the country is Luth
eran, but Sunday is not observed with
Puritan strictness, for the settlements
are small and far apart, so that the
hard-worked pastor must travel miles
from one to another, and even in sum
mer service is only held once in three
weeks.
Sunday begins on Saturday night, SO
that Sunday evening is a time for pleas
ure, and wherever squeaky musical
instrument. can be found, the peasants
viii dance together as well as with the
women, grasping each others shoul-
ders and whirling round and round like
dizzy human tops.
A wedding is festivity for the peo.
pie for miles around. 1t is celebrated
at the nearest village church, and the
guests row in enormously long boats
across the fjord, wearing gay-colored
dresses. The bride and bridegroom
bring to the ceremony the silver
spoons which were presented to them
when they were christened; these are
then linked together by silver chain,
and are hung up in the new home, to be
an heirloom for coming generations.
Il is at the church that the national
costume is best seen. In the north
the women wear short, dark gowns,
with fringed handkerchiefs tied be-
comingly over their curly fair hair,
black ones for the matrons and white
for the maidens.
In the south, the old Norwegian
dress is often worn. 1t consists of a
short dark petticoat, with stripe of
bright eolors, full white blouse,
and red bodice heavily embroidered,
while on Sundays quantity Of silver
pins and chains are added.
The head dress varies according to
the occasion and the wearer's social
condition. The girls wear jaunty red
caps, the married women a Golf made
of many folds of starched linen, plait-
ed over wooden frame, and bride
wears high metal crown, curiously
chased and set with jewels.
It is becoming the custom for ladies
TO wear the costume once or twice in
every week in order to encourage the
peasants to retain it.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-06-02

The one noticeable feature about
the Memorial Day parade throughout
the country was the small number of
veterans in line. OF late years people
have been reminding us that the
soldiers heads were getting gray and
soon they would be no more, but
never has it been brought out so forci-
bly, as last Saturday. Citizens will
soon have to plan for observing Mem
orial Day when the veterans have all
passed away. Whether it will be the
patriotic societies to march to the
cemeteries every Decoration Day with
flowers, or whether the Son of Veter-
ans will be organized in every town
and hamlet for the purpose, remains
to be seen. The time is near at hand
when the few remaining veterans will
need assistance.
