Principal Events That Have oc-
CURED in the Old Countries
81. Within q Week or 10.

Some foreign = papers claim that
Kaiser Wilhelm has promised the
crown prince of Sweden and Norway
that Norway will not be permitted
to establish consular service of her
own.
The union between Sweden and
Norway was the subject of a discus
sion in the Copenhagen students
union. The discussion was engi-
neered by Norwegian students, \but
Danes. Norwegians and Swedes took
part in it. A Norwegian introduced
the discussion, emphasizing his as
sertion that the consular service con-
troversy had not stirred up any bad
blood among the common people of
the two countries. Another Norwe-
gian said that if the union could not
stand the strain it had to be dropped
like a pair of pants that are getting
too small. Two Swedish professors
agreed to this. for it would be UNI
seemly to have the pants explode"
A Danish politician endorsed the
other speakers. The discussion was
a jolly affair in spite of the serious
ness OF the subject.
For the first time in the history OF
the railway traffic between the Sean
dinavian countries sleeping cars will
be run through from Copenhagen to
Christiania after May LIST.
Die Koelnische Zeitung, perhaps the
most powerful Catholic conservative
paper in Germany, speaks in u sur
prisingly sympathetic vein about the
cabinet just organized for giving
Norway a separate consular service.
A telegram from London to Ger
man daily states that the bctrothal
of Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess
Margaret will draw England and the
Scandinavian peoples still more close
~ together and put off for an in
definite period the plans of Russia to
build another Port Arthur ON the
northern coast of Norway.
Over one hundred Danish and Swe-
dish machinists are engaged in build
ing torpedo des troycrs for the Rus
sian government at Helsingfors, Fin
land. About sixty Russians were sent
there to do the work. but they were
soon found to be very much inferior
to the Scandinavians, and the job was
turned over to the latter, who are
receiving good pay and are having

chide her unduly for vanity, or else PAM
per her until she becomes entirely abb
sorbed in the matter Of dress. The mid
die way is the sensible.
At this age girls are peculiarly seliil-
tive, and to give them fair measure OF
content by all means endeavor to dress
them so they do not>feel out Of place in
their set;" perhaps never again will
they have just this same anxiety about
clothes as at the period when it is about
time to do up the hair and lengthen the
skirts. But though remembrance of the
time when we had this girlish longing
after 4 complete and pretty wardrobe
makes us sympathetic, on the other
hand there is influence to lead us to warn
elders strenuously to check any tenden-
cy on the young girls part for over
dress and inordinate display. We all
see entirely too much of the high school

ment of her studies and wholesome out

evidences not few that the season was

and falling rain, and the sun, as rule,
shining bright and hot every day. To
duly emphasize the dryness for those
