national committees in Europe and Of the
principal associations in their respective

FIRST trip. The trip, with other previous Wis
itations outside OF Norway had to make,
used up the time from the Sd to the 30th of
August 1906. On my way to Norway l had
to pass through Germany, Denmark and
Sweden. stopping fer a day OF more in each
of the cities Of Berlin, Copenhagen and
Stockholm. OF these cities will write in flu
ture communications. At Stockholm dehni-
lively arranged my Norwegian trip by rail-
road aAd ocean steamers which included the
following towns aud cities in the order in
which l visited them: Narvik, Hanmerfest,
Tromso, Trondhjem, CHRISTIANS and Sande-
ford. Ny want Of time did not allow nae to
visit Bergen. From Stockholm l took the
Lapland express. a splendid train for Narvik,
continuous journey Of about forty hours
through a very interesting country Of noun
tains and valleys, of rivers and lakes, of cul-
tivated farms and forests. 1t resembles very
much Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.
The birch and fr trees were abundant and
beautiful all along the route. At Narvik left
the railroad and boarded a steamer for the
remainder of my journey northward. The sea-
son had so far advanced that travel by
steamer TO North cape was discontinued for
this year; however, l went to Hammerfest

weddings In Wales.

Many and curious were the old cur
toms Ia Wales relating to marriage.
The following Is an account Of the bid
ding ceremony, an old custom which Is
said to be celebrated even to this day
in rural parts Of Wales: The bidder
goes from house to house with a long
pole and ribbons flying at the end Of it,
and standing in the middle floor in each
house he repeats a long lesson with
great formality. He mentions the day
of the wedding, the place, the prepara'
lions made, etc. The following is a
specimen: "The intention Of the bidder
is this: With kindness and amity, With
decency and liberality for - and -,
he invites you to come with your good
will on the plate. Bring current mon
ey--a shilling or two or three or four
or five--with cheese and butter. We
invite the husband and wife, children
and menservants, from the greatest to
the least. Come there early. You
shall have victuals freely and drink
cheap, stools to sit on and fish If we
can catch them, but il not hold us OK
cusable, and they will attend on you
when you call upon them in return
They set out from such a place and

superstitions of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon" in re-
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some OF them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn on moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce a tall stalk with a short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight as the case may be.
Other notions are INDUCED in, such as
throwing the cobs In running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would nnder no consideration burn
pinder bulls, the seed of which is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along path or highway, to be
trodden upon In order to secure a good
crop. Green butter bean bulls must be
thrown in road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
a good crop the following season.

Washington, July 16.-Porfect SAM
tation and cleanliness are proving
fatal to the West Indians employed
on the Panama canal Although Col.
onel Gorgas and his assistants have
banished yellow and other tropical
fevers which made the canal zone one
large burying ground for the French
canal builders, they have found that
sanitary precautions taken in the
quarters occupied by workmen make
the jamaican negroes especially sus-
ceptible to pneumonia and other
throat and lung troubles.
West Indians are not accustomed
to an abundance Of fresh air and we'll
ventilated, clean quarters. Living
for generations in small huts, where
large families crowd into rooms
tightly closed against the night air,
the negroes from Jamaica and other
tropical islands develop lungs with
cramped capacity and especially sus-
ceptible to changes of temperature.
The officers in charge have found
the West Indian laborers cannot be
induced to eat sufficient wholesome
food to keep them in good health,
even when supplies are furnished to
them at cost prices and meals are
made attractive at great expense to
the canal commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens of the canal
commission, Governor Magoon and
other men identified with the work
on the isthmus agree that lack of
lung capacity and insufficient nourish-
ment, rather than laziness, are re-
sponsible for the inability of West In
dams to perform an amount of work
equal to that done by white laborers
from Spain. The negroes are paid
so cents a day, while the white men
from Spain and Cuba are paid twice
that amount and many of the bosses
on the canal work are Of the opinion
that the white men really do much
more than twice as much as the col
ored laborers.
The Spaniards are thrifty and
Clearly in their habits. They take
their families to the isthmus and
maintain homes in which wholesome
conditions prevail and good food is
served. Most of the Spaniards en-
ployed on the isthmus went there from
Cuba, but they are natives Of Spain
who obtained employment in Cuba. 1t
is expected that Spain will grant the
commission permission to take large
numbers OF Spanish laborers to the
isthmus.
To abandon negro labor, according
70 the commission, would be practic-
ally impossible. But Chairman Shonts
and other members of the commission
feel that it is unsafe to depend on
any one class Of labor. Because c.
unsatisfactory results with negro
labor they are not only turning to
the Spaniards but will probably try
Chinese labor later, as it is believed
that sufficient Spaniards cannot be

canal work becomes more advanced
