Selling Flour In West Africa.

The method of doing business is to
sell the goods on credit to the women.
who are the principal traders of tho
country. and who. in turn resell it in
smaller quantities. For instance. the
woman trader will come along and
purchase one barrel or ten barrels Of
-four. This will be taken to, her hut,
where she will pedtlle out the flour in
smaller quantities, her principal aus.
toners being the native bakers, who,
are also women.
The principal foods Of the country
are native corn. sweet potatoes. vans,
plantains and bananas. 1t is through
the education Of the trader that these
West Africans are coming to- use and
appreciate commodities which are the
necessities of life in this country.

proposition that whipping post be
established in Sweden. Denmark has
returned to the old system of inflicting
bodily punishment upon a certain

tendency to coarseness and boisterous

In 1906 the city of Stockholm receiv.

fourths of which was to be used in
erecting hotels or lodging places for
poor people. especially women, who
are trying to support themselves by
working. The 100000 not expended
for this purpose was to be used in
building new homes for women.
Two large tenement or lodging
houses have now been erected on land
belonging 10 the city, which are being
rented to widows and other needy
women. TIE scheme is working very
satisfactorily. and the income from the

Is there to- be- war between Sweden
and Russia? This question is asked
with no little anxiety in Stockholm.
The signs. in the opinion of many. are.
rather ominous. Sweden was irritated'
by the fact that Russia participated in

of Norway. which Sweden regarded as
a direct slap at her. and has not liked
the way Russian vessels OF: war have,
hung about Swedish harbors. When
Sweden surrendered Finland to the.

His Plan Was Simple.

Frederick the Great once requested
his generals to submit to him plans of
campaign for a supposltitious case.
Hans Joachim Won Ziethen, the famous
cavalry general, produced a queer dia-
gram In black Ink. 1t represented a
big blot In the center, intersected by
two black lines, whose four terminals
ended each In a smaller blot. The king
was furious and upbraided his old COM
rade in arms bitterly for what he con-
sidered disrespect.
In explanation Won Ziethen said:
why, your majesty, l am the large
blot In the center. The enemy is any
n of the four smaller blots. He can
march upon me from the right or left,
from the front or rear. If he does l
simply advance upon any of the four
lines and lick him where l find him"
Frederick was satisfied.
