When a young man from a parish
aear Vaxio was ordained for the minis
try at Upsala his aged father could not
resist the temptation to attend the
ceremonies, and what was his surprise

The population of Tanno, Smaland
is steadily decreasing, largely because
so many young people go to China as
missionaries. A missionary from this

The board Of education Of Malmo ap-
propriated 1919 cents for every pupil
Of the public schools to be used as a
salary for a competent physician, who
was to look after the health Of the
children and the sanitary condition OF
the schools But the physicians agreed
among themselves that no one should

small, and now the schools have to fol-
low the old ruts, which have proved
fairly satisfactory in the past.
Col Bergstrom Of the Vestgota regi-

himself to the minister of war that the
cayonets used in the Swedish army

subjected to an ordinary strain, and
they are also so poorly fastened to the
rifle that they are apt to drop off when

75ied, says Col Bergstrom, if the sold

make an assault with the bayonet. At
present the soldier has so little conf
lence in this weapon that he will hesi-
tetc to trust it in hand to- hand
melee.

80 voting members of the congregation,
while 116 members voted for Assistant
Pastor p. Arnstrom OF Graninge. The
people of the parish be.:ame highly dis
pleased. Mass meetings were held and
resolutions passed against the appoint

sent to the kind and Bishop Johansson
asking for the appointment of Arm
strom This campaign also has a
quasi-political side to it. Arnstrom is
