MAMMOTH SALMON IN NORWAY.
Splendid Fish Taken from Preserved
Rivers in Far North.

ut is fashionable" said rich man,
Ito spend the summer in Norway.
The Norwegian climate is superb, the
scenery is grand and the living is
cheap-$1 day at the hotels, and
carriages at half dollar day.
Zone fine thing about Norway is
that in the summer the night only
lasts couple of hours, and if you
go as far as the North cape there is
no night at all, but the sun circles
round and round the horizon and
never sinks below.
"The Norwegian rivers abound in
fish, and anyone is free to angle for
trout in them. The salmon rivers,
though, are strictly preserved. Some
of the salmon rivers are very fine,
and rent for as much as $4,000 a year.
l know man who has river only
two miles long that he pays $1,000
for He often gets fish of 60 or 70
pounds. The day l called on him last
year his wife came in with 40
FOUNDER, 22-pounder and a 81
FOUNDER that she had caught herself
within three hours"

This country, which was so lately
crlled upon to lament the destruction
of San Francisco now reads with sym
pathetic regret of the similar destruc-
ton of Valparaiso. The loss of life
and property at the Chilean capital is
not SO heavy as was that at San Fran
cisco, the California city having..a pop
ulation twice as large as Valparaiso.
We are NOT sufficiently informed to
state accurately the number of fatali-
ties, or the extent of the confagration,
but all Indications point to catastro-
phe rivaling those of Lisbon and San
Francisco. 1t is beyond the power of
man to foresee or guard against such
acts of nature. They are not to be re-
garded as visitations of the anger of
the Divine Being, since we are told
that those upon whom the tower of
Sloan fell we're no more guilty than
others. This earthquake W as not con
fined to Valparaiso or its immediate
vicinity. It extended throughout sew
eral districts, and occasioned great loss
of property in the interior. Fortu-
nateIy Chile is rich and prosperous
country. Her psople are spoken of
as the Yankees of South America.
The city will be rebuilt at once, and
its old fashioned narrow streets wild
ened and beautified. There is no
reason to regard the Pacific coast
with distrust. Experience has shown
that earthquakes occur in all pats OF
the world-at Lisbon, at Charleston
and at other points which have be
come historical

WATER a UNIVERSAL REMEDY.
Fluid Is Declared to Have Great Heal
ing Properties.

There is no remedy Of such general
application and none so easily OBJ
tanned as water, and yet nine persons
out of ten will pass it by in an emer-
gency to seek for something of less
efficacy, says the National Magazine.
There are but few cases of illness
where water should not occupy the
highest place as a remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or napkin fold
ed lengthwise and wrung out of hot
water and applied around the neck
of child who has Group, will usually
bring relief in a few minutes. A
towel folded several times then
quickly wrung out of hot water and
Immediately applied over the seat of
the pain in toothache or neuralgia,
win afford prompt relief. This treat
ment in collie works like magic. Cases
on record having resisted other treat
ment for hours, have yielded to this
treatment in ten minutes. Pieces of
cotton batting dipped in hot water,
then applied to all sores and new cuts,
bruises and sprains is the treatment
now generally adopted in hospitals.
Hot water taken freely a half hour
before bedtime is an excellent cathar-
tic in the case Of constipation, while
it has a most soothing effect on the
stomach and bowels. This treatment
continued for few months, together
with proper attention to diet, will al
leviate mild cases Of dyspepsia.

To Drive AWAY Mosquitoes.

Where there is great affiiction from
mosquitoes the following remedy may
be appreciated: Put some insect pow
der on coarse plate. Put the plate
on an inverted tin pan in the center
of the room. Set fire to the insect
powder, then close the door and open
all the windows. The smoke will send
outdoors all the mosquitoes and also
flies. The household authority who
gives this advice does not state
whether it would drive human beings
away also; but after the air is clear
the mosquitoes VIII not return and
human beings can occupy the room
unmolested.

While coming these things Phyllis
came in with her scuttle for a last
load. She told us she had found an oil
stove with enough oil in it to cook
breakfast. She hesitated as she added
that she had borrowed some water
from our neighbor next door, who re-
marked that we had begun the borrow
ing plan rather early for so short an
acquaintance. We commended our
cooks enterprise and told her to do
the best she could And for the next
/. ten minutes we heard her in terms
forcible, if not polite, pay her re-
spects to the stove.
Breakfast was not a success. The
coffee was cold, and the chops were gar
nished with coal oil, the flavor of
which fingered with me for hours.

Doubtless the plan, now gaining
general attention throughout a num-
Der of states, to change the manner of
selecting United States senators, or at
least forcing the candidates to submit
their claims at primary election be-
fore the legislature is assembled to
give them a seat, may have the effect
of according to popular cIamor at leaat
a partial relief from the abuses this
high Legislative body has declined to
accord the public. There can be no
longer any question but that the sen
ate is simply the big lobby room Of the
captains of greed in the nation; and
unless the people get busy and change
its membership, it will continue to
stand as bar to any legislation in the
interest of the masses, if the classes
object to its enactment.

Curious Fear Of Fresh Air.

People who were born and bred in
the country and who still live there
are as rule curiously afraid of fresh
air. From their living rooms, espe-
cially the "parlor," they rigidly ex-
clude every approach of outdoor air
except at housekeeping time, and
they are more cautious still as to
sleeping rooms. The farmers, in
spite of their outdoor employment,
suffer not little from consumption.
1t seems pity when these country
jewellers might have their lungs filled
with pure, fresh air day and night,
sleeping or waking, that the poi
soned air they breathe at night
should be allowed to offset the good
effects obtained through the days
work in the field. If the enlightened
visitors, paying guests and summer
boarders who have learned that ones
manner of life rather than ones place
of living may be depended upon to
prevent consumption would but circu-
late their knowledge in a practical
way in country places their vacations
would accomplish something besides
refreshing of their own health
