when he married Caroline was brought about by his passion for Lady Jersey, who fostered his matrimonial inten- tions in order to detach him from Mrs. Fftzherbert. The actual break was marked by an abruptness that was al- most brutal. He was to have dined with her at the Duke of Clarence's, but when he arrived the Prince was not there, and she was given a letter from him, in which he said he would never enter her house again.
 It was some yeans later that Lady Herbert came upon the scene-in 1S6O.- when he was in 46 years of age, but she still retained, according to one ad- mirer, melting eyes, dimpled mouth, youthful mein and reposeful curves of figure"
 The friendship was described by some writers as ''platonic," She was no vulgar adventures, but a great la- dy, leader of society, the wife of a wealthy, influential peer.

sEAwEED BURNING IN NORWAY
An Industry That surpasses the Fish
 cries in Value

An Industry That Surpasses the Fish cries in Value.
 | Along the shores of J1deren, on the southwest coast of Norway, the sea- weed in veritable forests; not the com mon grass variety, but actual trees from five to six feet in height, with stems like ropes and leaves as tough as leather It begins to sprout in March and April, and gradually covers the ocean bed with a dense, impene- trable brush. In the fall the stems be- come tender the roots relase their suc- tionlike grip on the rocky bottom, and the autumn winds wash it ashore in such great quantities that it looks like huge brown wall along the entire coast. The fall crop is of comparitive- ly small value The only use that can be made of it is for fertilizing purpos- es, because it is only in the spring that this time there is such a demand for it that every stalk and leaf is gather ed as if if were pure coin.
 The weed burning season is the bus lest of the year, and every member of the household is drafted to assist in gathering drying and burning At the close of each clear day the whole coast seem to be aflame from thousands of bonfires that are being kept burning far into the night. This is one of the many natural resources that have un- expectedly developed in Norway, and no one ever dreamed twenty years ago that this seemingly worthless weed would in a few years, as a source of income, surpass the fisheries, which have been the mainstay of the people of that country for ages, or rival that of agriculture in one of the leading agricultural districts of Norway. Yet such is the case today; and to those who are fortunate enough to own land abutting the seashore can reap the most profitable crop of the year. Own- CTS of farms located where the weed seems to have a predilection to drift can burn as much as 5000 pounds a year, which sells for from $2.25 to $S.75 a pound. The annual income to Nor way from seaweed ashes amounts to about $150,000. Every fisherman knows
 the difference between alga and tang Only the former can be used as raw material for the iodine and chlorlodic industry; tang is entirely worthless. But of the different kinds of alga, it is immaterial, or nearly so whether one makes use of the large strong stalks or the broad leaved kind; when the weed is earthly handled, one can se- cure an excellent product If tang is burned with alga the value is decreas-

comes Oklahoma to a seat near the head of the table.
 'In Nebraska the democrats hoped, with the aid of the populists to elect their state ticket and their candidate for United States senator. In this they failed, but they have made substantial gainst throughout the state, as shown by the vote on congressman and the legislative ticket as we'll as by the state ticket. They have gained one congressman and came within less than 200 votes of gaining another. In two other districts, the republican ma jorittes have been so much reduced that we cam reasonably count on four democratic congressman two years from now In the legislature the flu sionists will have about four times as many as they had two years ago.
 The republicans have had an effec- tive campaign cry Stand by the presi- dent. While the record showed that the democrats in the senate and the house stood by the president better than the republicans, the admirers of the president very naturally gave weight to his appeal for republican congress, although in making the ap- peal the president put a personal vic- tory above the reforms which he has been advocating. Two years from now that appeal will be of no avail for the president will not be in office after March 4, 1909. Even if he were a can dldate, which no frie1n1d of his can assume after his repeated declarations he would have to confront the third term issue and who would say that that issue alone would not lose the president enough votes to make his race hopeless. The popular vote as in- dicated by congressional elections shows that the republicans even now have narrow margin to go on and that will be quickly wiped out if the president allows himself to be drawn eIlto race for third term,"

 1 Last year the huge sum of &1,SO0000 was invested in the thing, of which the Governments proportion was &6O,OOO. A year or so ago, also when Adams died, he left an interest in 1t to several lprominet politicians, two of them knights! Under such patronage it is harder than ever to deal with. In Vic toria the gambling evil has assumed possibly greater proportions, through another ''tote," established at Colling- wo5d, a suburb of Melbourne, by a man who, becoming in a small way, has long held the law (such as it is) at defiance, and is how recognized as one of the wealthiest men in the city, where his central club is.
 It is a fact that the Collingwo5d es- tablishment is fortified almost like a castle, with attendants in disguise, and as he has now bought all the surround ing property the police could only raid the place by c-ning down upon it in a flying machine Public attention has centralized this man and his club, and popular opinion has at last been aroused. Feeling runs high, for the ruin that is being done to the young manhood in a community like this is felt very acutely indeed,-New York Sun.
