Drunkards In Norway,

In Norway drunkenness is punished
by imprisonment When a man is in
generated he has loaf and wine sup
piled 10 him morning and evening. The
bread is served in a wooden bowl full
of wine. in which it has been soaked
for an hour. The first day the prisoner
swallows his allowance willingly
enough. The second day it seems less
pleasing. and at the end of the eight
Or ten days men have been known to
abstain altogether from the food thus
presented Except in rare Instances
the drunkard is cured by this treat
ment.

Recording the Losses.

In primitive times, when men went
into the fight, it is hardly supposable
that anything like a roster was kept,
no army bulletin printed, dead, miss
ing, wounded" According to tradi-
ton, the method employed to record
the losses IL battle was simple. Before
going into the fight every man took
stone and deposited it In q heap. Aft
er the battle the survivors took away
each one a stone. Nothing was easier
than to count those stones which were
uncalled for. The remainder showed
the loss of life in the battle that had
been fought.

OCCURRENCE
Great Hail Storm of Last
Week One of Most Pecu-
liar PhenonmouS.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
There seems to be a great cOmmOtiOn
in this world at Observation-Disclosures,
tidal waves, unprecedented rain
storms. sudden changes in weather
and strange boiling and movement OF
ocean waters. The year 1907 prom
Uses to be one of many incidents of
rare nature.
No living citizen of Jacksonville or
DuYal county ever before saw such
phenomenon as happened here Thurs
day afternoon when a storm quickly
came upon us and the fall of hail
was sufficient to whiten the earth for
an hour, the equal of a fall of snow.
Citizens so and IS years of age living
here most of their lives cannot recall
such an occurrence
Just what all of these strange
things indicate is a mystery. Though
much discussed and commented upon
no one can give the cause for them.
Scientists seem to be as much puz-
Zled as other people by the upheav-
ais and strange occurrences. That
we have no snOwstorms in Florida is
2 fact we'll established but they
could be hardly less destructive in
! their nature imam nallStOneS, winch

The only difference is that the hail
| comes in the spring while the snow
only falls in the winter.
The full extent of Thursdays
storm will not be known for several
| days, but we believe Une damage will
| be greA, accompanied as it was with
| terrific wind. Other portions of this
county have recently been visited by
| hailstOrmS, but not TO the extent OF
| the one on Thursday afternoon.
These weather freaks are not ap-

| They are expected out in Kansas ana

| less prepared in buildings and crops
| to meet them. We would much
| rather read of them as occurring

| badly washed and obstructed roads,

may be less than first reported

ouEERgsT STRIKE OF ALL.

because tho young men who caused
the trouble turn out better than their

were something like two hundred OF
these girls. and the proprietor of the
establishment ordered n straight In.
crease Of all their pay OF 10 per cent.
IL was complete surprise TO the
girls. and on receiving their pay. the
girls waited on the head OF the con-
corn In body to thank him. He
made them nice little speech in
which he strongly advised them not
to marry. rs most of them would be
only taking men to support Several
o! the girls were engaged, and about
all OF them had "stcadies.r They
told the young men and the latter re-.
scntcd the advice MS an insult to
thcm. They got together and rcsolv-
ed to give up the girls. This made
The girls mad at the man who had
given them the advice and every last
one of them went on strike. The sit
nation is certainly complicated. If
the girls so back to work the young
men will throw them over. If they
don't 20 to work they can't afford
husbands. The manager can't take
back his good advice: it is like wa.

be settled by tho girls all getting
