The railway hotel at Vernamovor

were damaged.
Mr.. Dunant, the organizer of the red
cross society, who received part OF the
Nobel peace prize several years ago, is

donated his share of the prize to chart

in distress
Attempts to consolidate the Skrom-

Folket's Hus in Stockholm is a build

The managers decided to save money
by discharging the night Waterman.
But he happened to be member of
the scavengers' union, and this union
resolved to boycott Folkets Hus, so
that no garbage will be taken away
from it until the trouble is patched up
in some way.
Baron TIL Hermelin, the owner of
the Hattorp estate, Tjallmo, has
opened home for aged people on the
estate. The building is beautifully To-
Gated, and the rooms are cosy and well
lighted, The institution is intended
tor old people living on the estate, but
the sick chamber may be used by out
slders If necessary. There is even an
assembly hall in the building. All
the people living on the estate, and a
number of persons from outside points,
offended the dedication of the build
ing: This institution is a beautiful
exemplification of the good features of
the paternalism practiced by the no.
bility of Sweden.

PROPOSED RESTORATION

strong locks and door covered with
human skin, would suffice to repel rob-
bers. But it is the account of robbery,
in the year 1903, that first brings the
place into the light Of clear history. Ed
ward I. was in Scotland, and the kings
journey north seems to have tempted
certain officials, notably the keeper Of
the palace gate and the sub-prior and
the sacrist of the abbey, to allow a GER
tain John de Podelic>'te to break into the
treasury and remove the more portable
plate and jewels. In his examination
John confessed that he had worked at
the masonry every night from eight days

accept England's Intervention and make
peace terms, very willing to renouncs
all claim to Uruguay. The contending
parties agreed to recognize and main
tain the independence of Uruguay, and
the little republic came into being.
That was 76 years ago. These years,
1t is needless to say, have not been
marked by undisturbed calm. In 1842-5l
Montevideo was besieged by the COM
bined forces of Oribe and Rosas, the lat
ter despot from Buenos Ayres, but the
emperor of Brazil delivered the city
from the hand of the spoiler, and the ma
Of independence.
In.the last decade uprisings not few
have interfered with peace in Uruguay.
In 1896 plot to overthrow the govern
ment was laid by prominent men within
the state aided by friends in the Bra
lillian state of Rio Grande de Sui For
two or three years preparations were adj
vanced, munitions of war collected and
stored. Many sympathizers in neighbour
ing Argentina Joined the uprising, and
before long it assumed general move
ment against the tyranny of the ruler.
In various of the departments" gov
eminent authority was entirely sus-
pended. Montevideo was put under
martial-law, but the city did not fall
under attack, guerilla warfare for
awhile succeeding the early military OPP
erations. The rebels, however, later
continued effective work, and their de-
mands for reform we're backed up by no
small show of power. Civil war was
kept up for months, continued after the
assassination of President Borda, who
was slain in the street on his way from
church. At last the country, worn out
by the ravages of strife, insisted that
peace be made with the rebels, and tho
latter were granted many of the de-
mands heretofore refused.
The new president. President Cuestas,
although belonging to the old Colorado
party, showed himself friendly to the
late rebels, the Blanco party, and at once
the Colorados began to make war upon
the ruler, whom they adjudged de-
serter from their ranks. Certain Off
GERS led a military revolt against the
president, and the city of Montevideo
became once again the scene of blood
shed. The president came out victori-
Gus but. as Mr.. Carpenter put it, only to
Give upon political volcano, always in
danger of assassination"
The present executive, President Ordi-
nez, who was elected February, 1903, is
experiencing the usual uneasy hold Of
him that ventures to stand at the helm
Of Uruguay's ship of state, and doubt
less finds his position far from an en-
viab1e one.
Paraguay, associate with Uruguay in
the early days of Spanish rule and the
La Plata confederation, likewise now
is going through the throes Of revolu-
ton. Paraguay is larger in extent than
Uruguay (157 900 square miles), but has
only half as large population. This in
terror South American republic, nesting
close to Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina,
has had its share of boundary disputes as
well Is its full quota Of internal broils.

years later. The long parliament was
sitting, and the dean and chapter of
Westminster were known to be in SYM
pathy with the king. Accordingly, to
prevent the regalia being removed, an
order of the house Of commons was
made: THAT the dean, sub-dean, and
prebends be enjoined and required to de-
liver the keys of the treasury where the
regalia are kept; that they may search
that place, and report to the house what
they find there" On the next day an
order is made that the locks shall be
opened, and new. locks set upon the
DOORS" At the restoration the new re-
gala were kept in the tower, and the
contents of the treasury were reduced to
certain treaties, exchequer tallies, and
the ,pyx, or box containing the standard
coins Of the realm; whence the familiar
name of the "Chamber of the Pyx." But
the pyx has recently migrated to the
mint, and the empty treaty chests have
also been removed; SO that the question
has arisen to what use the now empty
chamber shall be put.

Way, way down lies Uruguay, tucked
in between the south edge of Brazil and
a jutting-out of Argentina. Two sides
of Uruguay are coastline, washed to the
east by the waters of the Atlantic, to tho
south by these of the great La Plata
river, the wonderful river that is 100
miles wide at it's mouth. Uruguay Is
distinguished as being the smallest of
the South American republics and the
richest land south OF the equator. Frank
Carpenter thus speaks of it: "Its soil is
as fat as the valley of the Nile, and the
people step high on the stills of self-es-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
GOSSIP FROM:
SCANDINAVIA:

If the proposition to establish sep
arate Norwegian cosular service mis-
carries, says the Stockholm Allehanoa'
one OF two things must be done: Ihe
union plan must be radically rear
ranged, or the union must be dissolved
And a majority of the Norwegians are
getting so weary of the union wrangle
that if they cannot have Norwegian
consular service they will shed no tears
over the dissolution of the union.
Bjornson urges negotiations mord EN-.
phstically than ever, and the grand
old mans voice is by far the strongest
among the mountains of Norway.
King Oscar Of Sweden and Norway
has decorated King Kristian of Den
mark with the insignia of the Nor
wegian Order of the Lion. This is in
tended to be a special token of appre'
citation of the aid given by the king
and the people of Denmark to the peo
pie of Aalesund after the destruction
of their city by fire.
1t is just so years since Norwegian
hares were planted in the Farce
islands. They were originally white
in winter, like other Norwegian hares.
But their color has gradually changed,
and nearly every hare in the Farce
islands is blue in winter. This change
seems to sustain Darwin's theory.

Cigar Almost Deadly.

A most peculiar case of nicotine poi
soning nearly caused the death of E..
r. Lynch of St: Paul.
Mr.. Lynch was enjoying an after-din-
ner smoke at the grocery store of a
friend. The cigar did not draw we'll
and he punched hole in the end with
match, and a considerable guam tity
IF nicotine accumulated in the hole of
the cigar.
he laid the cigar down, and when he
relit it. it again drew hard. Mr.. Lynch
gave two or three vigorous pufs,
which loosened the accumulated nico-
tine, and he swallowed large part of
it. The effect of the poison was al
most instanlous. He became dizzy,
suffered from nausea and in a moment
fell to the floor apparently dead. He
was finally resuscitated.
