ing trough just wide enough for a steamer or barge to pass through. There are Six locks, one succeeding the other The most of them are worked by hand. and they are babies compared with the great locks of our Sault Ste. Marie canal. Nevertheless, many vessels pass through them. It is estimated that they raise 1000 boats every season carrying lumber. wood, piles. iron and other heavy mer- chandise from Gothenberg to Stockholm. and from western Sweden out to the sea.
 It was at this point that I visited the falls of Trollhattan. considered by many the finest in Europe. They are far super for to the falls of the Rhine at Schafg- hausen. There are six different cataracts and numerous rapids, distributed over a distance of almost mile. The fall is only 10S feet in all, but the water foams and boils as it dashes over the rocks Into the cauldrons below. Here there are great pits of boiling waves speckled with foam. A little farther on the torrent dashes down mighty cliffs with a deafenine roar and then flows on into the green river below. The force is such that it gives a water power equal to 100000 horses all pulling at once. number of factories have been built to take advantage of this power. and Trollhattan is fast becoming an industrial center.

am told the Dannemora iron might bring twice as much just as well. met a man who Is interested in one of the companies. and who wants trust formed to control the output. Said he:
 We have the only iron of its kind in the world, and the kind that makes the finest steel. The best cutlery establish ments of England, Germany and United States use it, and they would buy 1t If we charged double the price,"
 This is probably true The Swedish iron makes the best tools, the best drawn wire and the best nails for riveting. Thirty nve years ago there was not a horseshoe nail driven in the United States that was not made of Swedish iron. It can be bent coiled and twisted in a cold state without breaking. Our minister to Sweden tells Of Swedish steamship which, in a fog, ran at full sped into an upright cliff. The shock was such that the bow turned around into spiral. but not plate of the iron was broken or cracked.
 President Roosevelt's Swedish Razors
 This Dannemora iron is famous for making fine razors. President Mckinley shaved aimseif every morning with Dan nemora steel and l am told that Presi- oent hoosevet does the same. Our min ister here keeps the White House sunIied with such razors. He does not send knives. for knives will cut friendshin. but these razors he hopes will cement the cordial relations between him and the President. At any rate, he recently sent seven of the finest to Presi- dent Roosevelt, and the President uses n different one every day. Each blade ia marked with the day of the week on one side of the blade and with Theodore Roosevelts autograph on the other ssde. These raZors are made at Eskilstuna the Sheffield O. Sweden. It is little manu- featuring town on Lake Malar, not far from Stockholm. It has a gun factory, ! foundry and engine works and is famous for it's fine steel inlaid with gold.

for two weeks sport. He came here to shoot elk, but found that the best forests were owned by private parties. who did not care to rent them. He cor'1 not shoot in thae crown woods without the royal permission, and he failed to get that. He then advertised in the papers. offering to pay big price for the ,ght to hunt dur ing the season on any good estate. but received no satisfactory answer. Finally an American here asked one of the wealthy forest owners to allow MT. Har- rison the privilege of shooting in his woods. The man replied that he would grant it for two weeks for 1000 kronen. Harrison accepted the offer. and killed six elks during that time. At this. rate the elks cost him about $43 a piece.
 The Lumber Yard of Europe.
 There should be good hunting in Scan- dinavia. This country has some of the best forests of the continent. It Is fre- quently called the lumber yard of Eu- rope. About A per cent of the dry land is covered with trees. The best are in the north. where there are fine pine and spruce, and where thousands of lumber men go out to cut logs every winter. There are many streams, and the trees are cut and hauled to the banks of the waterways and fioated down when the snow melts.
 At the mouths of the rivers are some of the largest saw mills of the world. Here the logs are sawed into boards and other lumber and shipped across the Baltic and down through the Atlantic. The export of lumber runs high into the millions of dollars year. There are public forests which yield $18,Vv0.000 worth, and there are also private syndicates which do a large business. In all Sweden has a thousand saw and blaming mills; 1t has s20 furniture factories and 122 wood-work- ing factories of other kinds. 1t does a big pulp business, and its exports of wood and timber alone amount to $25.-

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy ir the World Ex cept Surgical operati' n, That Will Certainly Cure Any
 Form of Piles.

The study of physicians, the experi- nents of chemists. the loudly advertised pretensions of quacks. have been for years expended in one direction; to find a pile cure that would cure.
 The results have been a number of harmless and in most cases useless oint- ments. suppositories and even internal remedies, which the public have weighed in the balance of experience and found wanting; nearly all of them gave some relief, but nothing approaching a radical cure resulted from these preparations.
 The remedy required is one which will immediately stop the pain so severe In many cases of piles, and then by con tracting the small blood vessels (capilla- ries) to their normal size, produces rad ical cure by reducing and finally absorb ing the tumors and healing the inhamed, raV mucous surfaces.
 Until a few years ago, no such remedy had been produced, but at that time a suppository was placed upon the market which has since proven itself to be the long-sought permanent cure for this com mon and distressing trouble; 1t has rap idly become famous throughout the United Staes and Canada. and is now sold by all druggists under the name of Pyr. amid Pile Cure.
 It is now the best known, because its merit and safety have advertised 1t wher- ever uSSu. IL HdS DScn AuVeTtlSSQ Dy word of mouth, from one sufferer to an other; people who have tried everything else. even submitting to painful and dan. gerous surgical operations without avail have finally found that piles can be cured without pain and without expense prac, tipally, as the Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold for the nominal price of 50 cents and $l.ot per package.
 The Pyramid instantly stops all pair and at the same time contains no cocaine morphine or narcotics; the acids and heal. ing properties contained in the remedy speedily remove, cause a healthful, nat. uraj contraction and absorption of the tumors. It will cure any form of recta trouble except cancer and advanced fistu. h. which. by the way. nearly always re- suits from neglecting proper and timely treatment for piles.

WHERE TRAINS ARE NEW.
Railway Causes Wonder in Corner

U1 41Bk&8as It is scarcely possible. says The Lon- don Mail, to imagine place only 200 miles from London where scores of twen- tieth century Britons, living within six miles of railway station fo rforty years. have rarely, if ever, seen or travelled in a n--Engiishmen with less knowledge of steam than the natives of Uganda.

 Sheer disinclination for a long walk seems to have been the only excuse of many of the natives for never having seen railway, bu tnow that the railway has come to them they line up by the station every evening to watch the trains. occa- sionaiIy taking trip.
 One old worthy at Lyme Regis admitted feeling nervous at taking her first jour- ney, bu tsaid, "I soon put something in- side me to put that. right" A family party. dreading the perils of the journey to 8xminster. would not go by the first train. but stolidly sat down and waited two hours for it's return tp see if their friends came back alive before trusting themselves in the train.
 The modest twenty-five miles an hour of the train is considered fearfnlly risky by some and even the cattle grazing in the fields by the line are terror stricken at its approach and bolt madly gray. Large numbers of children had not seen railways before this week. and for them the novelty seems as if 1t would never wear of, but the greatest wonder Is ex- pressed by the older generation.
