Oscar of Sweden and Norway.

The retirement from active sover- eighty of King Oscar II. of Sweden and Norway, in favor Of his son, Crown Prince Gustavus. who has been made regent, brings to the worlds attention one of the most interesting as well as one of the able5t royal characters now living.
 King Oscar is S6 years oI age. He is man of heroic mold in physique as well as in intelligence and character. being six feet four inches in height and splendidly proportioned. He is a grand son of one of Napolean's most famous lieutenants. Marshal Bernadotte. who was elected to the throne of Sweden and whose dynasty is about the only survival in the governments of Europe of NapoIeonic supremacy on the conti- nent.
 Oscar, the retired king, has rightly been called the ablest of European sov- ereigns. No other of his day has com nlanded to such a degree the confidence of the world in the soundness of his judgment as well as in the absolute in- tegrity of his purpose and the genuine kingliness of his character. He is a man of liberal views and extensive. cul- ture. As an author he would be fa- nous in the literature of his country if he were rot the king.
 But, notwithstanding his wisdom and iberality as a ruler, Oscar has en- countered difficulties III his realm through the unfortunate political rela- tions of Sweden ana Norway. Formerly Norway was associated in an act O. union with Denmark, but in 1874 it was ceded to Sweden by Frederick, VI, the Danish king. This cession was resented by the Norwegians, and a short war followed in which they were defeated. In the adjustment of affairs the agree ment was made as easy as possible for Norway. She is a free, independent and indivisible kingdom, but united with Sweden under one king.
 The bone of contention, however, for many years has been the diplomatic service. Norway has demanded separ- ate dealings with foreign powers; but this neither the king nor the ruling minds of Sweden would concede It is that contention which has driven Oscar, now well along towards ninety years of age, to surrender the burdens of the state to his son. But as long as he lives his sagacity and experience. of course, will be available for the main tenance of peace and the settlement of problems that may arise.
 As a conciliator and negotiator the king has been famous. The great as well as the secOnd-class powers of the world have repeatedly submitted their difficulties of Oscar of Sweden and Norway, as a referee, sure of the equity of his judgment and decisions. By his own people the king is sincerely loved and respected.

The Pneumonia Bug.

An eminent Philadelphia physician gives out the pleasing information that during this season of the year at least 70 per cent of the people are walking about with their mouths and nOstrils filled with pneumonia microbes He hastens to add, however, that so long as a man takes good care of his health he is apt to get the better of the bugs. The latter are ready to take ad- vantage Of any breach that carlessness discovers in the encmy's Qualifications, but they are too slothful a foe to at tempt to t2ke a strong citadel by storm and too cowardly to lead a for lorn charge.
 So like many another microbe, 1t seems that this pneumonia bug is bet ter than he sounds. It is probable, in decd. that if all men could agree on just what hygienic course to pursue, and, having agreed, could remember to follow it always, they could afford to despise not only the pneumonia bug but all others Some people believe that disease is the result of a success full coup on the part of a microbe, and others arc firmly convinced that it is caused by an incorrect mental attitude, but the majority nowadays seem agreed that it is avoidabIe
 Certainly the Philadelphia physi- clans statement that the intentions Of the pneumonia bug are not actively hostile will be gratefully received by those who are unduly concerned about all microbes. If with ones mouth and throat filled with the sixty seven var ieties of the pneumonia bug one can still look forward to a green old age, what is the need of worrying about any microbe? The pneumonia kind just now have first place in the wait ing line, and to keep any of them from making an entrance it is only neces- sary to bar these. A few precautions will accomplish this, according to the physician from Philadelphia. He neg lected to mention the precautions. but doubtless they go with the fee. At any rate he has said enough to convince the fearful that they have nothing much to fear from the pneumonia bug.

The State ard the World.

MT. Austen Chamberlain made a re- tort upon the opposition in Parliament a few days ago which could not easily be parried and which conveys a preS- nant suggestion to other nations than Great Britian. Their policy in clinging to free trade he told them, was one of shutting their eyes to all that had hap pened and was happening in the rest of the world of sixty years ago. The logic of his criticism is obvious. CoS- den's strongest recommendation of free trade was that it was certain to be adopted by the whole civilized world within fifty years, as surely as that the sun would rise in the morning. He pointed out that when that came to pass Great Britian would have an en- ormous advantage over all her com petitors. That was quite true. If all the world should adopt free trade to- day, England's welfare would be enOr mously promoted. But the trouble is that Cobden's prophecy has not been fulfilled, nor even in part. The world outside of England is further from free trade now than it was then. Why persist, then, in a policy in conditions and circumstances entirely different from those for which it was intended? That is Mir. Chamberlain's demand, and it is not easily answered
 The wider lesson which is thus sug- gested is that it is desirable for every state to bear in mind that it is not only a sovereign state, but also 9 state among states. No matter how great and strong and sufficient it may be- there are others. It may be strong enough to maintain it's own policy, in- dependently of them, but it will do so at great and needless cost. It will be to it's advantage to consider the state of affairs in the rest of the world and to adapt it's policy thereto. That does not necessarily involve either entangiing alliances or animosities. Commerce and friendship between two nations re- quire that each shall in a generous measure recognize and adapt it's own conduct to the others conditions. IL is an old saying and a true one that two cannot walk together unless they are agreed, and it is as true of nations as of men. The time is past when any nation can contemptOusly say What do we care for abroad 9" We must all care for abroad" and must shape our course in accordance with the courses of our neighbors.

Grist for the Joke NH.

A writer who recently reviewed the Chadwick affair described q vaudeville "skit' that is now convulsing New Workers. The gorgeously clad leading woman sweeps haughtily across the stage, a brokers office. and demands one million dollars of the man behind the property desk. What security, madam?" he questions. "Sir'" sine ex- claims in the approved insulted heroine voice. But the stage broker proving adamant, she calls for paper and pen cil and writes with a flourish an I O U and signs it Andrew Carnegie" The stage broker apologies and pays over the money.
 Commenting on this, the writer re- ferred to complained that though the Chadwick affair was funny when bur lesqued on the stage, there was more of tragedy than of humor in the reality.

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY

One of the subjects talked and writ
ten about great deal at the present
time is how to live cheaply: Prices
OF all the great staples of life are
high. Rents are enormous. Fash
ions are exacting. Wants multiply.
while resources diminish. How to
make strap and buckle meet is the
problem which presses on hundreds of
housekeepers.
1t is what is done to keep up ap-
pearances that destroys the equilib-
rum between outgo and income, and
makes life drudgery and vexation.
How to live cheaply is question easy
enough to answer if one will be con-
tent with cheap living. Substitute
comfort for show. Put conveniences
in the place of fashion. Study sim
plicity. Refuse to be beguiled into
style Of living above what is required
by your position in society and is jus.
titled by your resources. Set a fashion
OF simplicity, neatness, prudence and
inexpensiyeness, which others will be
glad to follow and thank you for your
introduction. Infuse dignity, kind
ness, virtue and love into your simple
and inexpensive home, and its mem
bers will never miss the costly "trip
peries and showy adornments, and
they will be happier i'll the cozy and
comfortable apartments than most of
their wealthy neighbors are in their
splendid establishments. 1t does not
follow that in order to live cheaply
one must live meanly. The best COM
forts of life are not costly. Taste,
refinement, good cheer, wit, and even
elegance are not expensive Domestic

DIED. At Pelahatchie, Jan. 20,
1905, George Spann, son of Ruby
Stingily Spann and Joe Spann, aged
one year and six months. 1t was
strange indeed how this little one
gathered all the sunshine round about
him, holding the heart-strings OF
grandparents, kindred and friends in
his little hands-'twas just his baby
way.
"Only lent for little while, but alb! we
failed indeed to see that he had not come
to stay;
To bless and gladden. all the earth, and Sc
lead US on to heaven by his cunning,
pleasing, baby sway
But tits we'll, that his little hands are
folded, thus early in life's endless, fit
full fray;
From sin and toll released, from all pair
and sorrow free, a joyous spirit ever
now wings its heaveWard way"

tism of sorrow, be able to turn will

backing from the outside, Mr.. Roose-
velt is safe from the domination
which his party expected to exercise
over him.
The fact that no possible political
objection can be raised to the position
OF the President or the Democratic
Congressman makes it all the more
unpleasant for the Republican clique
which hoped to control the affairs of
the nation. The railroad question is
not and can not be made partisan
one; and as for the revision Of the
tariff, it was an important part Of the
Republican platform. In standing up
for these two reforms the Democrats
are only following announced
policy of the party for years; J they
could not. indeed, dc. otherwise.
None the less, the situation lis dis
agreeable to many Of the Republicans,
and they are trying to make the DEM
ocratic support of the Presidents
policy an excuse for voting against it,
on the ground that whatever the Dem
ocrats favor so unanimously can not
be to the interest of the Republican
party; and they are trying to stir up
partisan feeling and draw strict party
lines. While their efforts are divert
ing, there is not the slightest indica-
tion that they will have the slightest
influence on current events. On the
contrary, 1t is becoming more evident
with every day that the President is
going to carry through his policy. A
large element Of the Republicans an
element that is steadily increasing
see this, and are outspoken for the re-
forms urged by Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS for the Democrats, party senti.
ment is SO greatly in favor of these
reforms that a practically unanimous
Democratic vote is assured for them
in the House and probably in the
Senate.

not in all respects . decent man. The head and front of mine offending hath this extent" he may offer in his own defence: that is. he was not a commits stoned ofiicer. Because of that the lieu tenant was incensed at the ticket seller and created a disturbance.
 We are very much of the opinion that the sergeant is much the more gentle- manly man of the two. He is more credit to the army and to the American people. and we suspect that if vote were taken in the army he would come out long way ahead of the other man as an exemplar of creditablc soldiery. Of course 1t. is necessary and proper that an army officer should at proper times resent and rebuke any familiarity or want of respect shown him by his men, because it is necessary that dis cipline be preserved, but in q theatre or other public place the well-behaved private has the same right to select his seat that the oficer has. and an officer who creates a disturbance on account of it writes himself an ass. Whether this one will be made to suffer for this exhibition of conduct unbecoming an officer" remains to be seen. but an ex- ample in his case may have a good et- feet in the future.

MECHANICAL DRAWS.

| The New Bedford Standard is looking forward to the time. not far in the fu- ture. either. when the heavily loaded drays and wagons now so common on
 the streets will give place to steam drays. Its imagination "revels in the great possibilities that such a method of transportation suggests. We are carried along to that period when the sight of horses drawing a heavy load will be a rarity; new, heavy road con- struction will replace our present pave
 nents and our streets will not be lit- 1 tered with the dirt that follows as a necessity from the employment of horses. Then we shall no longer see horses straining at heavy load going | up hill. Instead, we will have the ] heavy drsys hauling loads larger than of carrying. and with them we will | have smoother pavements. cleaner | streets and the horse will be relegated to use as a means of pleasure and even | in this field he is becoming a smaller | factor with each recurring year. There | is no need of ridiculing the great work done by tho horse, but the time Is sure ly coming when he will have to leave the streets of heavy travel. his place l to be taken by a mishtier machine" Already one of the large mills in that city has been using r 40-horse power steam dray. and though so far it has rot proven notably economical as com pared with the ordinary drays, The Standard looks on 1t as the beginning of the end, so far as horses are con- cerned. It may be correct as to results but we are inclined to think that elec- tricity and not steam will furnish the power of the future. Then we may see drays or other freight vehicles expedi- tiously and economically carrying loads five or ten times as heavy as a team of horses or mules could draw, and doing the work in a much cleanlier manner than animals can do it.
 One preliminary which must be at- tended to before this change IS made will be to make the streets ready for
 it. dray loaded with several tons would crush an ordinary pavement and perhaps disable itself. For ordinary travel most paved streets are strong enough but when we get to pulling loads by power that is almost without limit people will not be content with the comparatively light loads that hor- ses draw. It will be strange sight for the streets of a city to be almost or quite without mules and horses but 1t looks as if the time is coming when that will be the case.
