A Brief Review Of Our National
Existence.

"A speech in part which was delivered by Vic
tor 5. knutsOn on the Fourth OF July at
Svea.l
Ladies and gentlemen, friends: AS
we turn the pages of worlds history
over we find that every nation has had
its national holidays OF joys and festi-
'vities at which time that nation has
been given cause to commemorate some
event which has been recorded in its
history. AS we 60 thru ancient, me-
di;tval and modern history we find the
same conditions existing. We go
back to the Biblical times when Israel
tlourished as nation and We find it
had great festivities in giving thanks
to the Almighty God for their safe de-
liverance out of the land of captivity.
We come to the time when Greece un-
furled her wings and robed herself the
empress of the world and her national
holidays are yet remembered in some
of the old Grecian villages, tho Greece
as nation is dead and forgotten.
We come to Rome at the time when it
was styled the queen of all nations
and its national celebrations are
known the world over.
We arrive at the beginning of mod
ern history and France verify roted
in jewels and diamonds had the great
est national holidays Of those times,
but they we're forgotten in the terrific
revolutions under the reign of Louis
the XVI. We come to the present
times, we cross the misty Atlantic and
the first thing our sight meets in the
harbor of New York is the Goddess of
Liberty. A woman bearing q torch in
one hand under which are inscribed
the words, Liberty enlightenIng the
world" Over yonder in the town l..
waving Old Glory in the air with her
three bright colors, the white stripes
representing the righteous cause for
which they had been struggling, the
red, the blood which was split in fight
ing for this righteous cause itself, and
the blue the azure heavens under which
our nations heroes laid down their
lives. Now, and now only, do we
realize that we are in the "promised
land of God" so to say Let US make
brief review OF this fair republic:
Thirteen colonies had settled on the
bleak New England shores, but had
not enlarged their domains very far
when the heavy yoke of British rule
made itself felt and heavier it became
as the years went by until nothing but
war could Justify their wrongs.
On the 4th of July, l776, the Declare
ton of Independence was signed, the
act which we today commemorate.
When we realize the significance OF
this act we can but think that the ON.
nipotent God had placed the stars OF
hope before their eyes and the dark
clouds OF despair had vanished for
this bright constellation.
After seven years of war peace was
declared and we started on the sea Of
life as an independent nation. Politi
cal Discussions set in and disunior
seemed eminent when We again found
ourselves in war with our old foe, OLD
England, but 50 complete was It's do
feat in this war that England will new
Or meet Us again on equal terms. W.

Massachusetts is wise State, and all the other States know it. So they will not be surprised by the wisdom which Massachusetts has shown in con- nection with the great Wachusett dam and reservoir about fifteen miles north west Of Worcester. When the work of constructing the dam and laying out the great basin of the reservoir was begun 1t was quickly seen that none of the adjacent lands could be used for farming or residence purposes. In or der to protect the water from any chance of animal or vegetable pollution the greater part of the immediate vi- cinity Of the reservoir, some three thousand acres in extent. must be for ever kept clear from dwellings and fertilized farms. Nor was it deemed advisable to make the entire great tract barren and waste, so plans were made to put 1t under cultivation as a forest. Already a million and quar- ter trees have been set out on this tract and another million are in the nursery, to be set out later. Up to the present time this work of prepar- ing for forest of some two millions has cost less than $7.5OO and it is ex- pected that s12,OOO will represent the outside cost of the final planting of the entire number. The work has been in progress for five years and it is ex- pected that by the time twenty years more have rolled around, some of the timber will be ready for cutting for the market.
 This work will be well worth watch ing. If it is successful and profitable, as 1t now gives every indication of be- 1 ing, it will also be well worth initiating.

A VIENNA HOSPITAL.

There are some good hospitals in this country, but perhaps none quite as good as the new hospital in Vienna will be when it is done. The Austrian emperor has just laid it's foundation stone. It will replace the famous Allgemeine Krankenhaus in the Alserstrasse, and will be the largest hospital in Europe. Tt will consist of forty pavilions, as they are to be called, of which, how ever, the eighteen clinical institutes Twill be so many separate large hospi- tals, with the best possible arrange ments for teaching purposes, demon |strations, etc. There will be room in each operating amphitheatre for two hundred and fifty students. In the |clinical institutes for infectious diseases |the patient will be separated from both professor and students by glass screen. Every clinical institute will have a large ambulatorlum, and in each there will be flat roofs, where patients may lie in the open air whenever weather and temperature allow it. The
 whole area of the new hospital is near- |ly sixty acres, this being more than twice the area of the present Kranken- haus; but there will be fewer beds.
 Forty eight acres, or about four-fifths of the total area will be turned into
 gardens The estimated cost of the in- stitution, which it will take ten years
 to finish, is forty million kronen, but the authorities will be satisfied if the
 work can be done for forty-eight mill lion kronen, about $1OOOO,OoO.
 Perhaps there is no hospital in the
 world quite as complete and up-to-date
 as this hospital will be. Everything that is needed in such a place seems to have been thought of and provided for.

goHNNy-A YOUNG BEAR.


 Johnny differed a little from the little girl who had little curl right in the middle of her forehead for
 When he was good. he was very very
 good;
 But when he was hungry. he was horrid.
 When that satisfied feeling which fol- lowed a meal began to wear off, Johnny let us know 1t by an impatient muttering, and all attempts to divert his attention were useless. He was hungry, and wanted his food, and no one could persuade him that he didn't, If he was loose, he made straight for the kitchen door, and opening 1t as cas- fly as any child could have done, he marched straight to the sink. Standing on his hind legs, he would stretch until he reached the edge with his fore paws, and then quickly hoisted himself up. Here he was very likely to find pan of water and this might occupy him for a moment, though he would probably be grumbling all the time he was drinking.' Then, turning round, he would let him- self down backwards, until his hind feet touched the floor. By this time, the housekeeper would be busy getting his | dinner of bread and crackers, but he would start at once to hurry things up by growing and dancing on his hind legs in front of her. Another moments delay, and he would rush at her, and clasp her about the knees with his sturdy arms, biting and tugging at her skirts. She was not in the least afraid of him, and when all was ready she would sometimes try his patience, or rather his impatience. little further, by holding the pan containing his din- ner just above his head. He would stand on his hind legs, grumbling away. and making wild reaches for the pan. At last, he would manage to catch hold of 1t with one paw, and then there was no getting it away from him. His claws hung on to the rim like so many iron hooks, and If the pan was lifted any higher, Johnny went with it, and soon hoisted himself into it. Then, how he would attack that food, num- bling all the time as if he were badly used, and ending by cleaning the pan with his long tongue. Then he would probably be kittenish, tearing round the house, climbing on chairs, tables and shelves, and upsetting everything up- setable, in an effort to find out what it was made of. Like as not, a broom would end his frolic, and he would run for the barn and take nap in the hay | mow. After that, Johnny was a good little bear walking about quietly, roll ing on his back, and playing with his toes, or sucking one's finger, with the most innocent expression on his baby face. While he was awake, he was always l busy with something and if he happen l ed to be very still for more than min ute at a time, it was safe betting that he was in mischief. One day when he | was thus suspiciously quiet, I went to look him up. Hearing slight noise in the pantry, opened the door softly, and discovered Johnny sitting on his

He adds to this statement of accomplished fact the pre- diction that bedrooms will be closed ultimately by the power of public opin- ion. He does not expect to close them by police raids, nor does he claim that poolrooms or handbooks will be sup pressed so long as betting is permitted at the race tracks. His faith in public opinion goes deeper than that. He does not look for immediate official action as the result of his recent attack upon the connection of the Western Union Tele- graph company with the poolroom bus mess. He thinks he sees in the results which have followed that action evi- dence os a general public anger against gambling as gambling" and from that attitude he hopes to see the eventual suppression of betting on races not only fin poolrooms, but at race tracks.
 We do not think Brother Goddard sees straight when he sees evidence of Ia general public anger against gamb- ling as gambling. There may be little more excitement about some forms of gambling than there usually is, but that is about all. It is. however, a good thing to have that. -.s:5

Ills diplomacy is not confieed to visits to other countries; it is a daily habit at home, and more than one actor-manager could tell of a suggestion from Marlborough House. and, in latter days, from Buekineham Palace, which postponed the presenta- tion of play or a song or monoloEue internationally inopportune.

This sort of thing, this obedi- ence to the will of the head of the clan. is not possible in an absolute monarchy or in a republic.

AT LAST.

The Democrats at St. Louis got to- gether last evening in more senses than one. And when they got together they acted. They adopted the platform which it took such long and hard work to make. and they worked hard all right. It was hot time and the claim that all the democrats are not dead yet seems justified. ,...- ..
 The platform adopted is a curious document, as, of course. it had to be. It doesn't say gold, on the theory, we suppose, that there is no need of say ing 1t, which is correct enough. The Republican party said it, and said 1t at the right time and in the right way. It doesn't really make any difference now whether the Democratic party says 1t or not. Perhaps it can't say it, be- cause of long avoidance of saying it. The rest of the platform is about as was expected. The tariff must be re- formed by it's enemies and not by its friends, etc., etc. Capital and labor are both pretty good things, and labor is just as good as capital. Trusts are pretty bad, and so is polygamy. And the Republican party is something aw- fuI. ....... ....-....... . And so forth and so on. The cam paign bids fair to be more interesting than some have thought it would be. The new Democracy is going to blow horns even if it doesn't sell any fish.
