consular representation, measure
greatly desired by the Norwegian peo-
pie. 1t was also urged that the fire.
quent and ong-continued absences of
the King from Norway had served to
suspend his authority.
Both countries have been preparing
for a conflict, making extraordinary
army appropriations. Crown Prince
Gustaf of Sweden is said to have a
secret understanding with the Kaiser
that would bring Germany into the
conflict, and such an interference is
regarded as likely to result in all Eu-
rope becoming involved.
King Oscar, whose great-grandfath-
er was a Pyrenean peasant, startled
and shocked his brother monarchs Of
Europe a few years ago by expressing
his belief in the DarWinian theory of
the descent of man from the monkey
family. This expression, so utterly at
variance with the belief of other roy
alties in their semidiyine origin and
sacred character, was deeply resented
by royal personages and attributed to
the plebeian origin of King Oscar, as
a descendant Of Bernadotte, one Of the
great Napo!eon's favorite marshals.

In recent issue of the Racine Times,
President Earring of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway says: 1T
has not been shown, nor in the nature of
things can it be shown, that the power to
determine railway rates, given to COM
mission, would in any manner, or to any
degree, mitigate any of the evils of the
transportation business which have been
made the subject of popular complaint
The railways have already Joined hands
with the people in correcting many of
the evils and eliminating many of the
abuses from which both the people and
the railways have suffered. The testi-
mony of the Interstate commerce COM
mission itself, unqualified by any limita-
tons whatever, is that under the present
law excessive rates have practically dis
appeared, unjust determinations have
been substantially eliminated and rebates
have ceased to be a characteristic of the
business and are rapidly being practical
ly entirely suppressed.
In every consideration of this subject,
either III public or in private, l desire to
be fair. The interests of the communi-
ties and individuals along the lines of
the railway which | represent are of
necessity entirely in common with the
interests of the company itself. No more
senseless and absurd appeal to the preju-
dices of the people was ever made than
an effort by part of the public press to
convince people that the interests of the
railway are adverse to the interests of
the shippers. | cannot see how the rail-
ways could obtain traffic out of business
communities soaked and plundered by
corporate greed as some of our newspa-
per friends and modern statesmen would
have us believe. l had always supposed
that the more prosperous a shipper was
the more business he could do and the
more business he did the more traffic the
railway secured. For this reason it has
been, so far as l have any knowledge
the policy of the railway managers to
develop the interests represented on their

Norway Opposes King and Dissolves
Union with Sweden.
King Oscar has been dethroned by
the Storthing as ruler Of Norway. The
long-threatened storm burst over the
royal house of Norway and Sweden
Wednesday when a resolution was
passed by the Storthing deposing Os-
car II. and inviting the present gov
eminent to become regency and ad-
minister the affairs Of the country.
At the same time the Storthing ex-
pressed its willingness to accept Eu-
gene Napoleon Nicolas, younger SON
Of King Oscar, as King Of Norway.
Thus the dissolution of Norway and
Sweden, prophesied for several years,
has finally been brought about In q
regular and legal manner, the first step
being the dethronement of the king.
Rumors that republic would be
attempted were set at rest immediate
ly by the invitation extended to the
present government to compose re-
gency and by the tentative offer Of
the Norwegian crown to Eugene Ma
poleon Nicolas.
The crisis was brought about by
popular resentment Of King Oscars
failure to revoke his veto, given at
Stockholm, Of the law for separate

How to Keep Youthful.

Youth depends to a great extent
upon our ability to keep the blood and
circulation in a healthy condition.
The best method of doing this may be
briefly summarized as follows: Take
plenty of exercise in the open air
preferably in the country, away from
the city"
The best exercise is long walk in
the country, and the benefit of such
a walk is increased if only a very
small quantity Of fluid and food be
taken during the walk. A good lunch
for such walk is a sandwich and an
orange.
This walk in the open air not only
enriches the blood with oxygen, but ii
strengthens the skin and nervous
system.
Great moderation in the amount of
food, and especially of flesh food
should be practiced, particularly by
old people. There is no longer any
doubt that moderate meat-eating after
the meridian Of life" is reached is
conducive to longevity.
Drink water and plenty Of it after
the age Of forty years is reached.
Most water is too ''hard" for drinking
purposes without being boiled. A
glass of hot water gently slipped is a
splendid stimulant and blood purifier.
