The Norwegian papers tell of quick and effective way of becoming intoxi- catad prevailing in the slums of Chris tiania. The Orebladet describes how it is done. The drunkard fills the palm of his hand with "aquevit" (strong corn brandy and snlffs it through his nose. A few applications do the work, while the same quantity of liquor taken into the stomach would hardly be felt. Nose drinking" has become real vice with some individuals. The effect of it is terrible, because the whole nervous system is paralyzed in a moment, and the drunkard remains almost uncon- scious for several, minutes.

Restaurant keepers of Berlin are in the midst of war with their guests as to whether "brodchen" shall be free with meals or be charged for in the bill. From time immemorial Berliners have eaten as many rolls as they desir- ed, but the restauranteurs determined to put the bread into the reckoning. They hung up notices to that effect in their dining rooms, but their guests tore down the placards and refused to pay for their "brodchen"

The interesting story comes from
 ncinnati that when the employees in he great breweries struck for eight hours the brewers consented, with the understanding, however, that the cus- tornary allowance of free beer should be cut off. This, it is said, was too much for the workers, who decided on nine hours and free beer.

Consul General Rodgers of Shanghai forwards statistics of Chinese. en1igra- ton showing that there are, approxi- mately, 7.642,65o Chinese in foreign A5untries. Formosa has the most, D. soO.O0o, and Siam comes next with D. s50O0Oo. The estimate for the Aneri- can continent is 272,S29 and for the Philippines SOOOO. These figures are being used to show that only about ? per cent of China's estimated popula- ton has emigrated, and that other na tions have no reason to complain of Chinese invasion. No reference is made to conditions that might exist if there were no exclusion laws.

zens attended. The report of the finance

tracking of the same, was approved.
The suggested change in the manner
of collecting the town taxes was not
taken up. The collector at present is

his account book to his successor at the
end of his term. The change suggested
is to give the collector a percentage on
collections and allow him to keep his
books until he has completed his col
lections.

DR.. Brown and I then decided to play
only until we had left So between u.s.
That was satisfactory to the travelling
men and the cards went around again
That time I was lucky and appear
ances seemed to indicate that DR..
Brown had caught good hand, too,
