After the house killed the resubmis.
sion bill, one OF its friends stated in de-
bate that ''the tall Sachem of the Penn
binas had hypnotized the members ofthe
House." meaning thereby that Mr.. La
Moure had been the chiefinstrumentality
in the killing OF the bill. While this is
probably an exaggerated statement, yet it
is also at least partly true; but we wonder
if Senator LaMoure gets the blame from
the other fellows whether he will get the
praise merited from the ultra prohib-
itionists? He did as much and more for
prohibition in the years when it was
much more difficult to do, than it is now,
but go: bitter political opposition and
personal abuse from many of that tribe
as a recompense.

NO NEEDY IN NORWAY.
c,,ned in Stockholm That the Sister
Kingdom Is Not in Want.


Stockholm correspondent, com.
nenting on the fact that the bishop of
T, Trondhjem, Norway, has received S.
soO crowns Ito help the needy in
Nortbern Norway" says that the
American donors could give their mon
ov to a better purpose. He explains
that in Scandinavia they know of no
want in Norway; that the people in
tho northern part of that country gain
their livelihood by fishing. About
christmas time the fishing was entire
" spoiled by the presence in large
numbers of fish-eating seals called
"rvsskobben," which came from the
Russian coast, where they are protect
ed by law. The Norwegians, how
ever, managed to rid their fishing
grounds of the seals, and since then
the fishing has been the best for long
time past. Some distress prevails in
some industrial centers in Central and
southern Norway, brought about by
strikes. but the distress is not such in
the ordinary term. In closing. he
saws: Want, as commonly under.
stood. Providence has spared Norway,
ard 10 tender relief there is meaning
less. The generous donors in Amer
ira are in some inexplicable manner
kent in the dark respecting the want
in Norway.

FROM THE FROZEN NORTH.
A Splendid Arctic Museum to Be Es.
tabIished Soon.

Stockholm is soon to have the most
complete and the largest collection Of
Arctic relics and specimens in the
world. The Swedish authorities have
decided to establish in that city an
Arctic museum on large SCALE in
which the imposing collections
brought from the Arctic regions by
Scandinavian Investigators are to be
deposited and arranged systematical-
~. The majority of these treasures
are to be found in the Royal Museum
of Natural Sciences in Stockholm.
where the late Prof. Nordenskjold
succeeded in putting the geographical
and biological sections into good shape,
but other finds, especially those brought
from Spitzenbergen, Greenland, Jan
Maven. Nova Zembla, and Siberia, are
in the university collections OF Upsa-
Ia and Lund The Arctic collections
of Sweden are the most complete in
the world, and are as unique in that
line as the art collections of the Vati-
can and the antiquities in the British
museum The Swedish nayigators
have been Systematically engaged in
this work since the beginning OF the
last century.

years ago at the Country club at West

naturally turned to mosquitoes. which
had been the principal circulating mo-
dunn the night before. The large and
tall member of the exchange remarked
