Will Carleton while travelling recent
~ in a stage coach among the Green
mountains Is said to have fallen into a
literary conversation with prosperous
farmer. In the course OF conversation
the farmer, who had no suspicion of
the authors identity, quoted from Mr..
Carieton's poems to illustrate some
point he was trying to make. "Oh,
that's from Carleton!" said the poet,

The union Of Norway and Sweden
took place in 1914. By the treaty Of
Kiel, Jan. IA of that year, Norway was
coded to the King of Sweden. A char
ter was established and this provided
that the funda mental law was the If
revocable union of the two nations.
Recently there has been talk Of a
separation, and it is probable that Os-
car felt the need Of younger mind
and a stronger hand to deal with the
political crisis that seems imminent.
Here are some facts about the country:

The numerous marriages Of Ameri-
can girls of wealth with members OF
the nobility and the custom quite prev
alent here of marrying wealth to
wealth have given the impression that
this is something new, due to COM
mercial age, in which money counts
more than love or romance. The fact
is that even in America the economic
ia ctor has always been more or less
taken into account in a marriage con-
tract Marriage In colonial times was
not always as poetic as Longfellow
makes 1t In 1.-THE Courtship Of Miles
Standish." The early marriages were
often those Of convenience. 1t Is true
neither the man nor the woman mar
ried for millions, for millions did not
exist, but the woman was satisfied if
she married "a good provider' and the
man looked out to see that the woman
was useful and thrifty. Records, how
ever, are not wanting of women who
ventured into matrimony-thev venture
being commercial as well as matri-
mon1al The beautiful Mrs. Hicks, evil
DENLY the Mrs Chadwick of the sew
enteenth century, came from England
to tempt with her beauty a merchant
Of Salem reported to be worth f30, 900;
and she succeeded. When Judge Sc
wall married pretty Judith Hull her
father gave with her her weight in
silver. This might not indicate any
thing mercenary on the part Of the
Massachusetts judge If it were not for
the fact that in every one Of the sew
| eral courtships that followed on the
| death Of his wife there were bargain
| ings on both sides as to the amount
each would leave to the other in case
Of the death of either after marriage.
| And yet Judge Sewall with all his
| chickering's was man who, to use his
own words, could scarce refrain his
thoughts from the bliss of matrimony."
Peter Faneuil, whose name Is identi-
fed with "the cradle Of liberty" In Bos-
ton, was himself confirmed bachelor,
but he had In charge a young lady who

uring as an English lord. Scarcely
was this engagement broken off when
to his dismay FaneuiI learned that his
ward had engaged herself to and mar
rled a colonel after only three days
| acquaintance. Human nature seems
! to be about the same from age to age.
If our girls are marrying foreign titles
| and If wealth is a consideration on
| either or both sides it does not signify
| that the age Of romance and love Is
past and that an entirely new order
or disorder of things has come in. 1t
Is but the repetition Of history in all
| times. 1t was more than 300 years ago
| that Ben Jonson said with truth:
| There's two words to bargain ever,
All the world over; and If love be one
Ina sure moneys the other.

Suavity of line and delicacy of tint
characterize the art Of advertising in
Japan.
'Our silks and satins are as soft as
the cheeks of pretty woman, as beau
tiful as rainbow" announces one pro-
gressive house.
Our parcels are packed with as
much care as young married woman

The bulletin, are distributing water
upon more than 100000 acres of land,
producing crops worth $100,OO0,OOO a
year.
The increase from 1899 to 1902 was
20 per cent; $93.0O0OOO has been In

streams provide hree-fourths Of the
irrigation now in use, wells and
springs the remainder.

more wealth than do any other people
on earth. Last year they cleaned up
nearly $4,000, 100000 on their crops.

enough money to run the government

COlLAPSlBLE THEATER HAT.

A collapsible theater hat, that may
be folded into a minute space, and
when necessary will reassume its for
mer symmetry, has been invented by
a London m1lliner for the benefit Of

patented, is made on an ingenious
framework, which can be covered with
pliable straw, chiffon, lace, or cloth

which would crush too much to be Of
service. 1t can also be modelled In any

farmers who for a thousand years
