regularity was a genuine grievance, and
proposed that foreign affairs should be in
trusted to minis terial council composed of
three Norwegian ministers and three
Swedish representatives, but the under
standing that the minister of foreign af-
fairs should always be a Swede. This
scheme was rejected by the Norwegians
and the negotiations went on until, in 1891,
a compromise was reached, which was I'M
fortunately rejected by the Swedish parlia-
ment
1t was in this year that the Norweglans
took up actively the question of a separate
consular service for Norway, which was
the beginning of the present trouble. The
Norwegians and Swedes are essentially two
peoples. Their natural tendency is. there
fore not to unity, but duality. The two
races show a strong difference of temporal
ment and thought. which was bound in the
long run to lead To separation. That is the
situation that has now been created.

mark among many of Japanese delight in
organization. The people in Japan show no
sign of rancorous feeling to the enemy, and
are genuinely glad to do for their prisoners
what they would naturally do for their own
people. The prisoners are described as not

IA very simple story, but If it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis

intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A

merely a question Of time.

miseries Of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
