ROYAL PROPERTY
IN NORWAY SMALL
CASTLE AND ROYAL SEAT AT
BYGDoE BELONG TO STATE.
Kings Personal Holdings Are Of Minor
Importance Norwegians Don't Like
It, Because Certain Gifts Have Been
acknowledged Standards that Flew
From Castle Are Returned.

Altho the Bernadotte family has oc-
cupied the throne Of Norway for nearly
ninety years, it's possessions in Norway
are singgularly small. Morgenbladet of
Christiania, in replying to insinuations
from Swedish sources that Norway
would deprive King Oscar of his prop
erty liz Norway, gives an inventory OF
his holdings. The castle in Christiania.
the villa known as OscaTshal and the
royal estate On Bygdoe belong to the
state, SO King Oscar loses nothing in
that direction except the pleasure OF
occupying them on rare occasions. He
does own, however, adjacent to the
Bygdoe estate, six villas, some old build
ings such as the stave church from Col,
together with Hensengen and Stroms-
borg works. Furthermore there are
some works of art at the castle and
Oscarshal and some personal belongings.
Criticism is made because the castle has
been deprived of several gifts presented
to the king with the expectation that
they would remain in Norway, and also
of the portrait of Kaiser With elm in the
uniform of a Norwegian admiral, which
was taken to Stockholm last year after
having been hung fourteen years at the
castle.
Since the separation King Oscar ex:
pressed desire to possess. the royal
standards WhOch were flown from Chris
tiania castle, Oscarshal and Villa Vic
toria or Bygdoe, which request was
promptly complied with. The flag at
Oscarshal bears the name Of his father,
Oscar l., and is hence deeply cherished.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It BY Starving Either-Let
Substitute Do the Work.

Don't Do It BY Starving Either-Let
a Substitute Do the Work.
The old adage, * All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy;'' applies just as
we'll to the stomach, one Of the most
important organs Of the human system,
as it does to the man, himself.
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being further taxed beyond
its limit, the only sensible thing you
substitute for short time and see if
it will not more than repay you in re-
suits. +.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets are will
ing and most efficient substitute. They
themselves digest every bit of food in
the stomach in just the same way that
the stomach itself would, were it well.
They contain all the essential elements
tive auids Of the a stomach ae contain and
actually act just the same and do just
would do, were the stomach we'll and
sound. They, therefore, relieve the
stomach, just as one workman relieves
another, and permit it to rest and re-
cuperate and regain it's normal health
and strength. 1885,,
This Vacation idea was suggested
by the letter of prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what he says: II was
engaged in the most momentous under
taking of my life in bringing about the
coalition of certain great interests that
meant much to me as we'll as my clients.
It was not the work Of days, but Of
months, [ was working night and day
almost, when at a very critical time my
stomach went clear back on me. The
undue mental strain brought it. about
and hurried up what would have hap
pened later on. E%-s, ss-s..-'-
"What I ate I had to literally force
down and that was source Of misery
as I had a sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, I was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to carr
out my undertaking. 1t looked pretty
gloomy for me, and I confded my plight
to one Of my clients. He had been
cured by Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets
and at once went down to drug store
and brought a box up to the office.
81 had not taken quarter of that
box before [ found that they would do
all the work my stomach ever. did; and
a rest vacation was out of the
question for me, determined to give
my stomach a vacation. kept right on
taking the tablets and braced up and
went ahead with my work with renewed
vigor, ate just as much as I ever did
and carried! out that undertaking to a
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to thank for
saving me the handsomest fee I ever
received as well as my reputation and
last but not least my stomach

sale by all druggists at SO cents box.

Huge Eel CAPTURED,

cured the largest sea eel ever seen on
the west coast of Sweden. It was taken
by Ollie Johansson Of Gunnarby in Gull.

eel was over six feet long, over two
about seventy pounds. 1t is believed
that this eel is the object which has
given rise to the numerous sea-serpent

Pastor Opposed Recognition.

Rev. Josef Rosenius, in sermon at
Oscars church, Stockholm, touched on
the dissolution of the union. He did
not want Sweden to recognize Nor
ways action at once. On the other
hand, no compulsion should be used, as
an offensive warfare was a relic of
barbarism. Sweden had a right, how
ever, to defend itself from attack, and
hence it was not only desirable, but
even necessary that Sweden should pre-
pare itself for eventualities of what
ever character.
