close, the rest of the children join,

in town except "the old man." who
is so busy making money to pay OUT

Every one in Norwegian cities seems
entitled to a vacation, ranging from
two weeks to a month, and salary Isl
always paid to employees on their
summer holidays.
Much good work has been done to
help poor school children to the en-
joyment Of a few weeks in the coun-l
try. Most Of the money comes from
private donations, but some is also
furnished by the municipality. The
children are divided into colonies,
thirty to forty in each, and placed on
some suitable farm where a lady Sc
lected by the school board has charge.
The country season lasts till about the
end Of August, when the schools re-

baths like polar bears, while people

less acquainted with rheumatism and
like Affections, still look forward to
that first dip. The sport Of sailing
is popular to an extent never before

son was held yesterday on the bay
near the city, but the wind was SO
moderate that the affair did not
amount to much as a sporting event.
AS a parade, however, it was fine.
All the old boats, fixed up to look
their best, were there, and number
Of new ones of the latest design and
most snowy appearance. Hundreds
Of boats, with thousands on board,
were congregated on a comparatively

camps in picnic fashion. Toward
