Norway had the part Of the man,
Sweden that of the woman. I may be

seem to me to have the softer, yield

their appearance that is significant, a
yielding softness, love Ct appreciation
in their private manner, as there is in
their public conduct-lately toward
Norway-a lack Of energy and self -as-
sertiveness that does not argue for
vigor and power. This is only some

on a valuation from the literary and

Incident Connected with Arrival Of
Prince Olaf's Donkey in Norway.

Thekla Bernays, correspondent for
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, who is
sending interesting letters from Eu-
rope, closes a long article on Sweden
with her opinion of the Swedes as a
people in which she embodies the SWed-
ish attitude toward the Norwegians as
gathered from personal inquiry.

sorbing INTEREST," she writes. ~

usually swart compilations of that else
ubiquitous race were absent, too.
1.-The voices are low, the manner re-
served and uuiet-except when the sub

up. That nearly always brings out
flash of indignation, a heightened tone
of voice, something of excitement and
scarcely suppressed anger. i detest

'Ifwe had had war, said he, 'wewould
still have the union. So I am glad
we shed no blood and still are rid Of

himself more automatically. 1.-THE

king felt their secession very much,
and he answered sadly, yes, it hurt
him keenly.' -.
"The wound is a very fresh one and
one cannot blame the Swedes for show
ing irritation with their neighbors,
especially as they are loudly jubilant
over the gaining of their independence,
somewhat 90 chesty,'' not to say eocky,
in their attitude. And that after a
"divorce' seems hardly fitting. 1t

Frogs and q Snake.

One day couple Of my friends were
sitting on the river bank, when they
heard the cry Of a frog in distress.
Following the direction from which the
sound came, they discovered snake
in the act Of swallowing frog. just
then another frog, evidently attracted
by the distressing cries Of its mate in
jeopardy hoped up to the scene Of
action. For a moment it sat blinking
at the enemy; then leaped forward,
seized the snake by the neck and
tugged it into the river. The water
quickly poured between the snakes
distended jaws, and it was, of course,
compelled to release its victim in order
to escape drowning. This it promptly
did, and the liberated frog swan away
with its plucky mate, while the bafled
snake wriggIed as best it could to the

sure way TO Get Bait.

The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
spot, a shady and low lying dell; but,
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes, not single worm had
his spade turned up.
"Here, sonny" said an old angler,
"take this chunk of soap and make me
quart or two of goapsuds."
The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkled them over the ground,
and then he in his turn began to dig.
It was amazing. Here, where the boy
before had not found single worm,
the old man now discovered them in
dozens.
'.You can find worms most any
where, sonny" said the old man, s'if
you wet the ground with soapsuds first.
The soapsuds draws them, the same
as molasses draws flies. A weak mix
ture of blue vitriol and water will do
the same thing also.'

How to Clean Jewels.

: A sharp pointed implement should
never be employed to clean rings. as it
Ioosens the stones, says the Boston
Traveller. Soak them in liquid ammo
MIA and the dirt will be loosened. Aft
erward they should be polished with a
soft cloth. 1t is a good plan to keep
rings in sawdust, as it enables the
gems to retain their brilliancy. Warm
water and little prepared chalk are
all that are required to clean plain or
chased rings. Toilet articles, vinai-
grettes and other small trinkets may
be easily frightened without the use
of powder by placing them in an alu-
minimum receptacle and pouring boiling
water over them. Polishing should be
done by means of piece of clean
chamois leather, but in adopting this
treatment it must be remembered that
the silver should never be allowed to
become furnished.
