It IS estimated that the value of the.
crops raised in Sweden averages about
$leo,o00,o0o a year. In view Of this
tact the fine weather which prevailed
Tor some time after the middle of Sep
tember was said to be worth several
mulon dollars day to the Swedish
people. The effect of this spell of
favorable weather was. marked. In
TACT it saved large part of the crops
from Imminent failure. The rye crop
Is up to the average, though the grain
was injured in some localities. The
same may be said of the wheat crop.
Inc oats turned out even better be-
cause it was not so badly checked by
the excessive midsummer rains. The
root crops are fine, but the potatoes
were checked in their growth by the
ram The hay crop is good in nearly
every locality, and in some places the
a1termath was large. All in all, the
nay crop is about one-third above the
average. From this roseate picture it
may be assumed that there will be no
such thing as famine in Sweden this
year.

CLEVELAND on CIVIC DUTY
Ex-President Speaks at a Banquet
in Chicago.
He DePFecates indifference Of tho
Citizen to Public A6airs-Sav-
ing Grace of Patriotism.


yer Cleveland on Wednesday night adj
dressed $50 members and guests of the
Commercial club. The gathering repre-
sented more than $500, 900 900, the money
power of Chicago. Mr.. Cleveland's adj
dress was made at banquet given by
that organization at the Auditorium ho-
tel. His speech was plea for civic duty,
for conservatism in the industrial and
labor worlds and for patriotism unmixed
with selfishness or sloth. His topic was
American Good citizenship"
The speaker was introduced by Martin
A. Ryerson, and the announcement OF his
name was greeted by applause. Through
out the discourse outbursts of applause
were frequent, and at times it appeared
as If each man in the company was al
most breathlessly awaiting the speakers
further utterances. Mercenary and SELF
ish politicians, using the words in what
he termed their sinister sense" were no
more the objects of his criticism than
were the good and patriotic men of the
nation, whose alertness to danger had
been lulled into "complacent satisfac-.
ton" in their own integrity and con-
tidence in the 'tireless wing Of the Amer
lean eagle"
Mr.. Cleveland assured his hearers that
the nations march of prosperity was
not the secure thing the optimist would
have them believe. 1.-THE abandonment
of our country's watch towers by those
who should be on guard, and the slumber
of the sentinels who should mover sleep,
directly invite the stealthy approach
and the pillage and the loot OF the forces
of selhshness and greed" he told them.
And that his words found place in their
convictions was evidenced by the ap-
plause that greeted them.
He declared that the government of
the United States was made by and for
patriotic, unselfish, sober-minded peo-
pie, that it was suited to such people,
He added that for those who are selfish.
corrupt, and unpatriotic it was the worst
government on earth
The ex-president made no reserva-
tons in his analysis of present condi-
lions and their causes-an analysis
which he believed left him so amenable
to the accusation of being pess1mistic
that he deemed it necessary to make a
fiat denial Of the charge.
II hasten to give assurance that I
have not spoken in the spirit of gloomy
pessimism. shall be the last of all our
patriotic people to believe that the saw
ing grace of patriotism among my coun-
trymen is dead or will always sleep. I
know that it's timely revival and activity
means the realization of the Hottest
hopes of free nation. have faith that
the awakening is forthcoming; and on
this faith build a cheerful hope for the
healing of all the wounds inflicted in
slumber and neglect" 49,.

TO TEST FOOD CONSUMPTION.

Army Soldiers.

A squad of volunteers from the United
States army At Washington recently ar
rived in New Haven, Conn, to subject
themselves to experiments by Prof. Rus
sell H. Chittenden, director of the Shelf
field Scientific school, who will try to
demonstrate that the American people
eat too much. In discussing the plan
Prof. Chittende1 said:
Through the courtesy Of Secretary
Root and Surgeon General O'Reilly, OF
the army, the war department will CO.
operate with the Sheffield laboratory in
a physiological study of the minimum
amount of proteid and albuminous food
required for the maintenance OF health
and strength under ordinary conditions
of life.
1.-THE scientific school has fitted up a
house where the men will be housed and
cared for during the period of the ex-
Observation-Disclosures for about nine
months.
In this study there are no special
theories involved and no special system
Of d1etetics, but the object especially
aimed at is to ascertain experimentally
whether physiological economy in diet
cannot be praeticed with distinct bet
terment to the body and without loss Of
strength and visor.
There il apparently no question that
people ordinarily consume much moro
food than there Is any real necessity for
and that this excess of food is in the
long run detrimental to health and de-
feats the vsry objects aimed 1t. It il
with view to gather .s many facts as

is undertaken.

One of the reforms contemplated
by the Russian government is the
merging of the bank of Finland into
the national bank of Russia, making
it branch Of the latter. This plan
was agreed upon shortly after the
resignation of Mr.. White as Russian
minister of finance. It is claimed that
his opposition to the plan was one of
the reasons for his retirement.

When the car decreed that tho

shall meet only once in four years the
senate petitioned for regular session
in 1904. Although the petition was
handed in last spring no answer was
received until a few days ago. The
answer is to the effect that the ques-
ton will be decided in June, 1904, and
that the final answer will be given
June 10, 1904, by the governor general
of Finland. But it is made clear that
no session will be held at all in 1904
unless the governor general finds that
perfect political calm prevails
throughout Finland at the above men
