Heavy Seas Cause Horses Feet to

heavy Seas Cause Horses Feet to
Swell-cows Lose Appetite.
Speaking Of animals getting
sick at sea- said a man who has
had some experience with the
dumb brutes ON the briny deep,
says the New Orleans Times.
Democrat, Il can tell you that
they do get sick. and sometimes
they get very sick, too. OF course,
they do not manifest the sickness
in the way that human beings
show il, and for reasons which
will suggest themselves on a mo-
ment's reflection. But they never.
theless get quite as sick as mem
bers Of the human family. Sea.
sickness in human beings will
manifest itself in violent vOmit-
ing. \ seasiek person cannot re-
tain anything on the stomach,
The old rule Of whatever goes up
must come down is, in the ease OF
pronounced seasickness, reversed.
Whatever goes down must come
up. But when we come to deal
with horses and cows we find n
different condition Go deal with.
Horses and cows never vOmit.
They cannot. SO here right at
the beginning Of the matter we
find a reason for difference in the
way this peculiar sickness shows
itself in man and beast. have
had more experience with horses
than with any other kind Of dumb
animal, and consequently know
more about the way the horse sui.
fers during seasickness. II Is a
rather curious and rather inter.
esting fact that the horse is more
violently attacked In the feet than
In any other portion of the body.
] have seen the feet Of horses M
sea swell until they could scarcely
stand on them. OF course, the
stomach OF the animal is affected
TO some extent, but this is not so
serious n matter as the attack in
the feet. The effect OF these at.
tacks is sometimes Of a lasting
kind and the usefulness Of horses
IS seriously impaired. The fact
that seasickness attacks the horse
in the feet Is mainly due 90 the pc
culiar influence a vessels motion
has ON the kidneys Of the animal.
Al any rate, this is the generally
accepted view Of the matter. We
cannot say definitely just why
horses get knotty feet az sea, but
the popular view Of horsemen
who have studied the matter il as
stated. As 10 cows, I do not know
q great deal about them, but un.
derstand the cdcf trouble with
them at sea Is that they lose their
taste for food and quit eating"

Prince oscar is the second son of the present king. and his wife was Ebba Munck of Fulkila.

 The King is Thrifty.
 The royal family of Sweden is thrifty one.

 Later on I strolled on through the grounds and tried to enter tower where I was told the king often came to drink after dinner coffee and look at the view. The place looked like a restaurant. and, king-like, I wanted to drink coffee too and feast on the view.

 What Is the meaninsr or portent of a Is it a sign of health, or ,on the con trary, is 1t a warning of iil-health.. or. Is 1t. as peoples in all ages and all guar ters of the globe have thought, an evil omen. a prophecy of misfortune? eE Sir John Hutchinsofi, the famous Eng lish surgeon, is optimistic in his views. and says: When a man sneezes heart fly he may consider himself to be in the best of health. No person In poor health was ever known to sneese."
 Sufferers from hay fever. will probably hold somewhat different views on this.
 Some of the best medical authorities say the sneeze Is a warning Of an immi- nent cold or chill, which malady may be avoided by immediate action. such as re- moval from a draught and wrapping ex- posed portions of the body and light ex- ercise. Other physicians will tell you a sneege is the unfailing sign that cold has settled in the systerns'. '-'
 But the most interesting phase of the sneeze is the many curious customs prac- ticed by. different nations. in saiuting sneeser. .t Nh
 The majority of people. both ancien. and modern, seem to have regarded the HnSoB9 08 an oCI LEau8ut iWiLn GNft hio the saiutation or benediction bestowed upon one who has sneAzed Is the survival of the old fear of the evil foreshadowed by t. fs
 A German professor who. was qperied regarding the universai custom practiced by his people of saluting a Refson who sneezes with "Gotte segpe dich," or the weii-known ''Gesundheit." stated that 1t originated during the prevalence of the plague in the fourteenth century. The pe- culiar disease that revasad the Euro pean continent was heraided by num- Der of rapidly succeeding sneezes., and 1t soon became customary when a person eneezed to commend him to the merciful care of heaven and then plscR as much space between themselves and the saf- fiicted person as possible doubtlessg with the laudabie intention of allowing the in- voxed power free play in the treatment of the victim. 1

 Commercial Norway.
 We are much interested in the com merce of Norway. It has imports and exports of considerable more than $10O,- 100000 year. and among it's imports are many things which we furnish. The country Is big. It is three times as large as the State of Ohio. and 1t has a popu- lation of more than two millions. Never theless. it has very little good farming land. Seventy-five per cent of it is un- productive. 22 per cent is taken up with forests, and only per cent is under cul- tfvation. This means that only three acres in every hundred can be cultivated. and on those three the crops are small. the chief products consisting of wheat, barley. oats. rye and beans. Some horses. cattle. sheep goats and swine are reared and also about 100000 reindeer
 A Spoon-Fed Country.
 country like this cannot raise it's own food Its stomach has to be filled by the spoons of other nations, and today we are not ladling in our full share. Norway annually imports about $25, 900, 900 worth of food products. Half of this is grain the imports averaging seven or eight bushels to the inhabitant. About half the grain comes from Russia, one-fourth rom Germany and the remainder from the United States. Denmark and Rou- mania. A great part of the imports are rye, one-fourth is barley. about one- twelfth wheat flour and less than 3 per cent wheat.
 Our grain exports to Norway are in- crea sing. They would be much greater if we were to establish elevators here and keep a stock on hand for speedy deliv- cry. At present there is not a single grain elevator in Kristiania, and none, I venture. in the whole country. We also send Norway lard, side meat and bacon, American meats being exceedingly pop ular
 A Dinner for Seven Cents.
 Speaking of Norwegian food, these peo- pie live as well and as cheaply as any people in the world. The hotel rates are high. but the meals are excellent and am as well accommodated here as was in Berlin.
 There are many cheap restaurants. and there is one which feeds 2,0O0 people a day where you can get a dinner for T cents. The average cost of meals ranges from to 13 cents. and you can buy as much or as little as you please and carry 1t home or eat 1t in the restaurants This Is Kristiania's famous steam kitchen. which has been in successful operation for forty-four years. and which is said to make money found 1t in an ugly brown building not far from the busi. ness center of the city.

There were also steel bells to- call the Norwegian farmers to dinner. axes for use in their logging camps and Nhatchets and saws for every one. SL

Norway has recently purchased lot of our shoe making machinery, and factory has been established here in Kristiania which is making so-called American shoes.

Publicity as Cure for Drunkards.

Kansas City Journal
 Police Judge Dryen of Chanute. Kas.. has evolved a novel scheme of decreasing drunkenness in that place. He believes that publicity will prove an effective cure for the liquor habit. Whenever a per son is before him twice for drunkenness he will publish the fact in the newspapers and on posters and will warn the drug gists not to sell the drunkard any more liquor. As a starter he has made up a list of twenty cid offenders and orde1ed their names printed as habitual drunk ards. ''It doesn't seem to do any good to fine these habitual drunkards." said Judge Dryden. They have been fined so many times that it is second nature for them Publicity may do some good. If any of them has manhood in his make- up 1t sems to mo that he would be ashamed to be advertised publicly as an habitual drunkard I hope the new method will check drunkenness"

When Professor Gilbert express ed his intention of placing the boy in the public schools the color line was raised and the prejudice against the ht- tie fellow became so great that the mem- bers of the school board were forced to call a meeting and decided against the boy Professor Gilbert was much dis appointed over the decision of the board and will send the Filipino to Cincinnati.

 The Greeks and Romans had a rather elaborate code by which they distinguish ed when a sneeke was of evil and when of benignant portent. the prediction de- and the condition of certain of the heav eniy bodies
 Thus, a sneeze between noon and mid- night argued good unless the moon chanc- ed to be in the sgn of the Virgin, the Balance. the Crab. or the Scorpion, in which case 1t became an evil sign. To sneeze upon rising from bed or from the table was particularly malignant omen and was regarded as prophecy of death to the sneezer.
 The Greeks said of person who had very beautiful face or figure, "She sure ly sneezed when she was born"
 There is an ancient fable which credits Prometheus with having introduced the sneeze to mortals. He made a statue, and, wishing to endow 1t with life, he stole a beam of sunlight, and, to conceal the theft from Apollo, hid the beam in his snuff box. In an absent-minded mo- ment he put the beam up his nose in taking snuff-causing him to sneexe vio- lently.
 The snrai-civilized races have some very curious customs regarding the sneeze GfoEy tune the sultan or Mopomot0pa sneezes, for instance, the fact is made public by signals from the palace. All the people within hearing and sight im- mediateiy set up a shout that 1t passed from street to street and from town to town, until it reverberates throughout the entire Kingdom.
 When the Sultan of Senaar sneezes, on the contrary. every woman within hear ing strikes her lips with her hands-a gesture of extreme contemptA-disgusted that so mighty a parsonage should sneeze like an ordinary mortal
 The most famous historical sneeze is that which xenophon's army of 10000 hailed with cheers and shouts of gladness, coming as 1t did at the moment of dep est despair and mental tension-events nad reached such a pass that it could only auEur victory and happiness e It is related that while DeSoko, the ex- pioFer, was interviewing the King of the Indian nations. his August Majesty seens- cd loudly. Instantly all his subjects bow ed low, opened and then closed their arms and chanted the following in a mighty chorus:

have more in the windows, but the goods are well displayed and the merchants are business like. It Is the same with the people. If could you take Langley's new flying machine and come in q few nights from Minneapolis to Kristianla and be- suddenly dropped, you would hardly know where you were. You might sup pose yourself in the American town. The faces on the street would be much the same and the dress not very different. This may come from the large number of Norwegians in America Y
 Kristiania is an up-to-date city. It has electric lights and electric cars. The car system was put in by the Union Eiectri- cal Company of Berlin. which is an asso- ciate of our General Electric Company Of New York. The cars are as good as ours. and their rates are just half as high. You can ride all over the town for 2Is cents. and can catch a car any min ute. 2 < .fW
 Our Norwegian Gateway.
 Kristiania is our gate to Norway. The most of the. American goods are brought here and shipped to different parts of the country. The city is situated at, the head of a wide and deep ford which winds it's way in and out from here to the North Sea. At the head of the ford are many little bays forming excellent harbors. These bays are filled with shipping. and you may see goods loading and unloading for and from different parts of the6world. The Norwegians are among the greatest shippers of Europe. They are natural sailors, and their boats go to all parts of the world. They have an enormous carrying trade They own more than a thousand steamships and about six thou sand sailing vessels. They do a general freighting business. and in freight re-
