An interesting archaeological find
has been made in Hstfjorddal, Tim,
Telemarken. A bridal mound was
thoroughly searched and numerous ar
ticles were found, including Viking
ark, the main part of shield, iron
pickaxes, fragments of a soapstone
kettle and remains of bones of a
horse. Prof. Morck, who was in
charge of the Investigations, believes
that the mound is about 1000 years
old. The sword has the shape of those
usually found in the western part of
Norway, and it is supposed to have
who was buried in the mound. The
rich find was taken to Kristiania.
King Haakon evidently has an ink
ling of the art Of catching the crowd
IN tactful manner. During the re-
cent maneuvers his kitchen did not
arrive in time for dinner on account
of heavy rains, and arrangements were

couple of slices of bread and but

who is looked upon as the greatest.

where at last only one thing remains
for all, namely, an appeal to the holy
! God for mercy, an appeal to him, who
is also the God of truth and of love
and of faithfulness. To him we con-
sign our dead. God, help US TO do
this with thanks and with profound
confidence, we ask in the name of
Jesus"
