What Inducements a Big Firm Offers
to the Young Man.
On being admitted to the bar I took
time to decide some grave questions.
The first was whether to enter law
firm or to set up my own Office. From
my experience as a student in a big
Office, where had toward the last
been entrusted with every variety OF
work not done in person by the heads
of the firm, had learned clearly the
scale of probabilities open before a
young lawyer in a firm. I had OBJ
served that if young lawyer has fam
lily prestige and means, he may bring
enough to the firm to entitle him soon
to a good Independent position in it.
II he cannot make this contribution,
his individuality is likely to be lost,
and he does not stand much chance to
rise far above clerical connection.
Inasmuch as my individuality was my
only asset, determined to work it for
all it was worth by setting up my own
little Office: later on, when had
earned my place, could consolidate
with firm, If chose, to much better
advantage. The years have justified
the initial decision-Everybody's Mag

and a banana with a piece of wood
running through it placed 1engthwise

SHIFTING OF LINES.

Political Affairs in Norway Becoming
Complicated by Changing of Plat
forms.
Political affairs are becoming CON-
pEcated in Norway. All the parties
except the Socialists are breaking
away from their traditional lines. The
strong Liberal party, or the left, which
has been in power for two decades, is
breaking into theree groups, the lines
OF cleavage being along the different
methods of settling accounts with
Sweden. The Conservatives, or rights,
after opposing separate consuls, now
try to steal the Liberal campaign
thunder by demanding a reform which
it has opposed for a generation.
The growing strength of the Social
lists, or the radical liberals, is causing
much apprehension. The extension
OF the elective franchise will probably
cause some radical changes in the
storthing. Thus Christiania alone will
have over 10000 votes, most of them
those of workingmen with supposedly
Socialistic leanings. The parliament
tary elections are awaited with ankle
ty. All agree that the downfall of the
Blehr ministry is certain to come. It
will be due in part to the minister's
dilatory policy and the revelations
concerning Stang, Konow and Love-
land made by Bjornestjern Bjornson.
Premier Blehr undertook to defend
his ministry in political address re-
Gently delivered at Hamar He adj
mitted that the financial condition Of
Norway appeared to be dubious, but
insisted that there was no danger to
be feared. He devoted much attention
to the consular question, giving com.
prehensive review of the agitation
since 1892. His party, the leftists, had
steadfastly' fought out their program
for a separate consular service, and
the present negotiations, attained by
joint commission, was due solely to
that party. The Conservatives had
consistently supported the Swedish
program until now the Swedish mem
bers of the commission had conceded
the demands of Norway. With I'm:
paralleled audacity they now sought to
secure advantage to themselves by
adopting the Liberal program. There
were many perplexing questions still
to be solved, and the Liberal party
could be trusted to conduct the move
ment which it had begun.

RURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.

Those Of Denmark Source Of Great
Strength.
The rural high schools Of Denmark
are her strength, says an exchange.
Founded by Bishop Gundtvig more
than fifty years ago, these schools
have been the means of spreading
general and particular knowledge
among the small freehold farmers, the
largest class in Denmark, and the class
which has always been the backbone
Of the nation politically. The farmer
is naturally an isolated being by rea-
son of his work, and has therefore had
little chance to enjoy educational
blessings. This fact has: made Den
mark a little nation" in spite of the
superior mental quality of the people,
The rural high schools, out of which
the cooperative movement SO ad.
vanced now in Denmark has really
grown, have been Of incalculable value
in spreading the leaven of education,
and in Strengthening in every way that
class of small farmers tilling their
own land and making a fair living at
it, which can do more than any other
