SWEDEN.
A serio-comical story is told about
neighborhood of Hellby, near Sskil-
stuna. DR.. E. U. Pallin owns fine cot
tage at that place. 1t is generally vacant
In winter but all the houses around it
are occupied the whole year around.
During the latter part of December
the reighbors noticed a light at night
In DR.. Palms cottage, and in the day
a man was seen to carry in water and
chop wood. 1t was supposed that the
man was sent there by the owner Of
the cottage. But on Christmas. day the
neighbors began to suspect that: some-
thing was wrong, and words was sent
to DR.. Pallin, who hurried to the scene.
The doors were locked and had to be
opened by main force. In the kitchen
was found man who rushed against
the intruders, but he was soon in their
power. In his pocket he carried a
loaded revolver and a number Of cart
ridges, and he was so violent that he
had to be bound hand and foot. The
man had stayed in the cottage all the
time and lived on the supplies kept
there. He was found to be a lock-
smith or rather unsound mind, and
when he was given time to explain his

The commercial statistics of Sweden
were in very unsatisfactory condi-
ton until 1904, because they did not
represent the real facts, the main diff
ficulty being that a large part Of the
foreign trade credited to Denmark was
really due to other countries In 1905
the trade was followed throughout it's
entire channels, that is, the goods were
traced on their way from the producer
to the consumer. The result was
startling. Apparently the imports from
the United States, for instance, in
creased from $2,5O0,O0O to s11,5O0,O 900
in one year, while the imports from
Denmark dropped from s19,DOO,O00 to
44,OOV3VVV.
were $157, 100000 and the exports $121,-
$4,000. More than one-third of the
total exports went to Great Britain
and Ireland.
The national society for combating
tuberculosis provided for 172 public
lectures against the white plague
last year, and the aggregate attendance
was 28,400. The lectures were given
by 10 different physicians. The whole
number Of lectures given under the
auspices of the society, is 697, and the
attendance was 1888. ALI the lee
turers are instructed to urge the audi
ence to combat the disease, but they
must not exaggerate the danger Of
contagion. Emphasis must be put on
the danger of intimate intercourse with
consumptives during the contagious
stages of the disease; but 1t must be
made plain that the danger can be re-
duced to a minimum If the expectora-
ton Of the patient be rendered harm
less and his surroundings kept clean.
