NORWAY IN HISTORY
RECORDS TRAcEABLE FOR BUT
NINE HUNDRED YEARS.
More or Less Intimately Connected
With Sweden for Many Centuries
Formal Association Of Government
Began In 1914.


Norway marked another turning
point in its history when 1t declared
itself Independent of Sweden, with
which it has been associated since
1914. Norway's historical period
stretches no farther back than the
ninth century. Behind that time are
the ages of the sagas. The petty tri-
bal kings were united under Harald
Haarfagr, or Fairhair. Harald died
abou1 9S3, after having established
his government at Trondhjem in the
north. The Danes and Norwegians
were the terror of all Europe at this
time through their plundering forays
and invasions.
In the hundred years that followed
the death of Harald Haarfagr Chris
tianity was introduced. In the year
1923 King Olaf, the Saint was driven
out by King Canute the Great of Den
mark. but Olafs sons recovered pos
session and until 1879 Norway con-
tinued to be governed by native kings.
During these centuries the Morse ad-
venturers established permanent col
onies in Iceland and Greenland and
for while the Orkney and Shetland
isles and the Hebrides were in the pos
session of Norwegian kings whose
last inroad into Scotland was repelled
in 1868.
In 1919, there being no male heirs
to the throne, the Norwegian national
assembly chose Magnus of Sweden to
be king. His grandson having been
elected king of Denmark in 1876 be-
came ruler of both Scandinavian king
doms on the death of his father in
1880. The last died without male heirs
and his mother, Queen Margaret. of
Denmark, succeeded to the throne of
Denmark and Norway. Later she be-
came mistress also of Sweden. The
three kingdoms were bound together
by the union of Calmar in 1897.
Thence till 1914 Norway continued
united with Denmark. The wars of
Napoleon severed the union which had
existed for more than 400 years. Den
mark had sided with Bonaparte and
after his defeat the allies compelled
her to purchase peace by abandoning
her sovereignty over Norway After
the treaty of Kiel in 1914, by which
Denmark's claim to Norway was ex-
tinguished, Sweden and Norway be-
came associated under one king.
Norway's coast along its outer belt
of rocks measures about / 700 miles.
but its entire shore line, including the
fJords and the large islands. is close
to 10000 miles in length, enough to
reach half way around the world.
Norway is about $50. miles wide in the
south and in the north a little more
than sixty miles. It's area is 124,129
square miles, a little more than the
area of New Mexico. Its population
in 1900 numbered 2,239,SSO and Swed-
ems in the following year numbered
5,175,22S.

LoNooN's ROMAN WALL.
Partition Of Il Is Now Being De
stroyed by Builders.


A portion of the wall which was
built around old London by the Ro-
mans is now being destroyed by build
ers. The part which has been laid
bare. is seven feet in height and has
a thickness of eight and half feet
and about fifty feet of its length has
been exposed. 1t is founded on gravel
and at the bottom is a course of flints
ard clay. Upon these are built up
two layers Of stout burned tiles, of
the common Roman pattern. and then
comes roughdressed masonry. The
Tits and the masonry alternate; in
the seven feet of the wallis height
there are three courses of each, held
together by cement, which is so firm

How swiftly speed the seasonsl
Here's June without frown
And all her joyful reasons
To tempt ore out Of town;
And here's Myrtilla's letter
She's just about to fly.
And thinks perhaps I'd better
Come up and say good-by,
She's put a dozen dresses
Aside for summer wear.
Hats, gloves and shoes--she guesses
She has enough to spare;
Golf clubs and stunning jacEets
To set aflre the links,
And two new tennis rackets
WIN do for both, she thinks.
oh. such a rush and hurry
Myrtillas in 1t makes
Me weary, and worry
To see how much she takes.
While am left behind to
Endure the town. It's wrong!
So I've made up my mind to
Ask her--and go along.

Calcium No Longer Rare.

1t would seem to be risky specula-

day they may be worth e20 or e100
(S9733 or s4S0,65) an ounce, and the
next day they may be placed on the
market by the ton. Something like
this has happened in the case of the
once rare metal calcium. a month
or two ago there was only an ounce
or two in England, and now the metal
may be ordered BY the hundredweight.

anONC III. IL WOuluH WIN nus
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been GO
ing ON for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence. especially when 1t is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinlxham never violates the con-
fidence of women, and every tcstimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request or the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes
Dear Mrs Pinlsham.--
"Over year ngoI wrote you letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. ! received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice am not only well woman in con-
(. sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
;Sish every suffering woman in tho land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me-"
Just as surely ms Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable COMPOUND cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills. t
No other medicine in all the world
has suchs.a record of cures OF female
troubles as has Lydia Il. Pinbham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore nc
prudent woman will accept any substi
I tute which druggist may offer.

Noted Families in Groton.

GrotCn has been and is the home OF
many families of distinction. Bancroft,
Barron, Dana, Blood, Green, Lawrence,
Motley, Parker and Prescott are some
of them. The Prescott name has been
highly distinguished. Aside from it's
early prominence in the towns settle,
ment, it appears in the person of
James Prescott, born January Is, 1120,
member of the provincial congress;
Benjamin Prescott, killed at Bunker
Hill.
Mrs. Wolcott, widow Of Gov. Roger
Wolcott, was a Prescott, great-great-
granddaughter of Col. William Pres
colt. who commanded at Bunker Hill,
and a grand daughter of Prescott, the
historian. The Oldest stone in the VIII
lage cemetery, erected in 1904, is In
memory of James Prescott, who died
that year, one of her forebears. One
of her ancestors, Jonas Prescott, who
died in 1927, left G5 for the purchase
of silver communion cup for the
First parish, and that cup is still il
use.
Groton has produced many wei
known men, and is the home of some
of them today. She has given mayors
to several Massachusetts cities, ant
among them are ex-Mayors Samuel L
