GOSSIP FROM:
SCANDINAVIA:

A Scandinavian fishermen's associa-
ton was organized at Marstrand,
Sweden, July 10. Sweden, Norway
and Denmark are represented by five
members each in the executive COM
mittee. The headquarters of the as
ISOLATION are in Copenhagen.
King Oscar and Queen Sofie went to
Norway July 16 for two weeks stay
in that country.
The Gothenburg Misunderstanding con-
tanned a sensational correspondence
from Helsingfors, Finland, few days
before Won Plehve's assassination.
According to this correspondence,
Won Plehve's was firmly convinced
that the Utmost root" of the assas-
sination of Gov.-General Bobrikoff
was to be sought among the exiled
Firms residing in Sweden. Accord
ingly, the Russian government might
feel called upon to try to make some
arrangement with the Swedish gov
eminent for driving the Finnish fug-
itives out of Sweden! This is rather
pithy ready matter; but Russia may
be expected to do almost anything to
her neighbors nowadays.
Prof. Hagerup, the premier of Nor
way, expressed himself with surpris-
ing plainness on the union question
to P. P. Waldenstrom, the Swedish
church reformer and statesman. IF
the negotiations about the consular
service question come to naught this
time," he said, ''surely no party in
our country can work for the con-
tinuation of the union. The whole
Norwegian people will feel the union
in its present form as clog on their
feet. Violent movements will be out
of the question, for public sentiment
does not run that way. But the union
will grow rusty and become an i'm
pediment to happy development of
the relation between the two coun-
tries" The significance of these re-
marks cannot we'll be exaggerated.
The Leftist party always demanded
a better standing for Norway in the
union. That party was in power for
twenty years. The Rightist party
fought for the old status of the union.
Now the Rightist party is in power,
and Premier Hagerup is their leader
and their strongest man all around.
And now this man cody gives the
Swedes hint to the effect that if
Norwegian consular service
is not established the whole Norwe-
gian people will permit the union to
grow rusty'' as a useless tool.

A careful student of the life of Tolstoy,
Mr.. George H. PERKS, says that hardly
a page that Tolstoy has put forth in the
last 20 years has not contained some
scathing indictment of the falseness, the
cruelty, of the social forms maintained
by imperial authority about him. Ut
terly fearless he has been in his denun-
Citations Of Russia's weaknesses and
weaknesses, and his fearlessness has not
abated with old age. A short time ago

Russo-Japanese conflict. Count Tolstoy

Growth of Trade.

twenty years ago the first trainload
OF IRON ore was shipped in Minnesota
over the Duluth & Iron Range railroad
from the Minnesota iron mine at
lower. The train consisted of fifteen
cars and the engineer in charge was
inomas Owens, now superintendent
OF the road. The total shipment for
tnat year, 1884, was 62,12t tons, and

Mesabi range made it's first shipment

total OF tonnage now carried by the
steamer Wolvin. During the two de-

100000 tons has been shipped from

The Countess Tolstoy has not seen fit to
follow her husband in all his extreme re-

style OF living, but she is most devoted
to him, and most zeal lousy defended him
when the sentence of communication
was passed upon him. At the time she

being much the same as when pressure
is applied to mass of marbles. Care
should always be taken to select the
sharpest and cleanest sand that can be
found.
Other causes of failure are the i'm
proper selection Of clay and the improp-
er treatment of the clay used. Ferru-
ginous clays are the best, and chalky
clays, as they are commonly known, are
the poorest for bodybuilding purposes.
Some clays have large percentage Of
sand to begin with and require less sand,
while as rule the chalky Documentary
clays have very little sand, or very fine
sand, and are more difficult to get fully
saturated with sharp sand so as to be-
come unyielding and homogeneous.
Another cause Of failure in the use Of
this particular clay is the fact that it
rarely has iron enough to cement or
bind the material together; hence it IL.

''Of 200 herds tested, the best results

Diamonds and pug dogs are becom-

personal property assessments being

Watonwan and Traverse are the only

Among numberless pregnant phrases,
we quote some others illustrative of the
authors daring: ''The greatest crime in
the world-the murder of ones breth-
rem" "The cruelty, futility and sense
lessness of war" ''The Russian tsar, the
same man who exhorted all the nations
In the name Of peace, publicly announc-
ing that, Notwithstanding all his efforts
to maintain the peace so dear to his
heart (efforts which express themselves
In the selling of other peoples lands and
In the strengthening Of armies for the
defense of these stolen lands), he, owing
to the attacks of the Japanese, COM
mands that the same shall be done to the
Japanese as they had commenced doing
to the Russians-i. e., that they should
be Slaughtered; and in announcing this
call to murder he mentions God, asking
the Divine blessing on the most dreadful
crime in the world" Then the prophet,
gathering momentum as he goes on,
ridicules and denounces the different
Russian classes and government depart
ments that are aiding and abetting the
war; the clergy coming in for a goodly
share of his denunciation.
Witheringly he speaks of ''all these
Slavonic, pompous, senseless and bias
phemous"prayers, all these insolent,
mendacious speeches about devotion to,
and worship of, the monarch. about
readiness to sacrifice life; all these
senseless benedictions of each other

To the question: What then should
be the action Of the Russian soldier, tsar,
and private individual in the present
crisis? he answers thus: "And, the
