their own kind. They are among the
best llyers on earth. They eat early and
late and take snacks between times.
One curious feature of their gastron-
omy Is known as the smOergasbord,
which is a sort of an appetizer taken
before the regular luncheon and dinner.
This Is sometimes served at the dinner
table and sometimes at a separate Ia

room or I'm the dining room.
Imagine a long board covered with
scores Of dishes filled with all sorts OF
rellshes, salads and salt meats, fish,
etc. which might stimulate the appe-
lite. At one end of the room, or per-
haps on the table itself. are several
great silver urns with spigots in them
and glasses beside them. These are
allied with the strongest brandies,
which are kept on tap so that one can
alternate his mouthfuls from the relish
es with drinks of brandy, until he has
a royal thirst and appetite, After that
he can go into his regular dinner and
eat a square meal.

up by our goods.
THE SWEDISH EXPORT BUREAU.
Stockholm has an export bureau de-
voted to pushing Swedish trade all over
the world. In a chat with one OF the
officials | was told that the prejudice
against Americans was fast passing
away. Said this man:
There are so many Swedes In, the
United States that we look upon II as
our sister country. When we buy of
you we feel as though we We're trading
with our brothers, and In general we
are disposed to favor American goods.

petitors as to certain things, and In
those we have TO fight you.

American trade might be increased"

Spanish American war our reputation
has risen, and our goods have somewhat

THEY EAT OUR HORSE MEAT.
A curious export from our country
for instance, Is horse meat. This is sold
nj the butcher shops and is greedily eat-

but was thrown out by the inspectors.
The American minister objected, and
showed that the meat was as good as
any horse meat could be, and the re-
suit Is that we will probably have but
little trouble on this score hereafter.
Horse meat is shipped IN barrels. II
comes chiefly from old horses and lame
ones, as at the present high prices good
horses could not be killed for that
purpose. The meat has reddish tint
and looks not unlike yenison.

Not long ago there was q discussion
In parliament concerning American
pork. Some OF the members wanted to
increase the tariff, but they were
warned By others that American pork
was the food OF the Swedish working
man, and that If they took il away they
would drive the men who eat It out OF
the country, II they wanted to keep
the workingmen OF Sweden In Sweden
they had better let them have American
pork than have them go to the other
side Of the Atlantic to get II.
This same is true OF our lard. II Is
the finest sent to Europe. It Is as
cream To- skim milk In comparison with
the Swedish lard, and the Swedes

government has tried 20 keep IL out by
