SWEDEN.

Agda Hallin is the name of the first
woman to occupy the position of de-
tective in the city of Stockholm.
The friends Of the public schools of
Sweden offered prizes for drafts of
new text book on religion and ethics,
and no less than Al new books have
been entered by competitors for the
prizes.
There are 226,S47 Swedish laborers
whose lives are insured against acci-
dents, according to the accident in
surance law. About $4,000 are direct.
ly insured in the government insur-
ance institute, and the rest are in.
sured in private companies. There
are about 35O,000 persons who are
entitled to accident insurance, ac-
cording to the law of 1901 on that
subject.
Bjorn Lundberg, representative of
the Swedish industries, who has spent
some time in China has come to the
conclusion that the Swedish exports to
that country may be increased i'm
mensely. Sweden is said to be in a
very favorable position to compete
with countries which depend upon
Sweden for their raw materials, the
products in question being mainly thin
printing paper, envelopes, cheap fur
niture, rails, galvanized goods, iron
wires, wire nails, needles, tin basins,
enameled goods, umbrellas, lamps,
stoves, safes, padlocks, hinges, knives,
scissors, screws, wagon tires, iron
beds, sewing machines and electric
materials.
Bishop J. A. Eklund made signifl-
cant address in the cathedral at Karl
stad on the occasion of the 250th an
niversary of the treaty of Roskilde,
by which Denmark ceded the south
ern part of the Scandinavian penin-
sula to Sweden. He said in part: mo
one can tell what is coming. But the
times of struggle are not past, per-
haps never will be on earth. In this
connection I am not thinking only of
struggle by means of external weap-
onS. But even such struggle may con-
front us. 1t seems as if no great gain
can be made for the people without
bloody conflict. And often even what
has been gained cannot be kept with
out life-and.death struggles. 1t is our
hope that in case of such an event
uality the young men of Sweden, even
the Christians of Sweden, nay, the
Christian young men in particular,
will seize the rifle with firm grip
when the life of Sweden is at stake"
The police of Stockholm have Or
ganized a society for the study of
Esperanto, or what is cracked up as
world-language, for the purpose of
communicating in that language with
the police of different countries.
The government has expended ST.
100000 for the purchase of waterfalls
since 1906, and the present riksdag
is asked for another appropriation of
$1,750,000 for the same purpose.
B. NJ. Anderson, a shipowner, do
mated $4,000 to the city council Of
Helsingborg for relieving the suffering
of the poor of that city.
The government has drafted a bill
for thorough revision of the military
laws of Sweden. The subject is a
very difficult one, and the bill will
no doubt be carefully discussed and
amended before it is passed by the
riksdag.
The homecraft committee of the
city council of Stockholm has pro-
posed that the city build 106 resi-
dences at cost of 100000 in sub
urb named Enskede
Consul O. Ekman has donated alto

having ship-lap as shown. Then the
middle piece is ship-lapped, and slides
70 and fro, forming a tight cover that
holds in place however much the
case is moved about.
Although I do not use a wedge in
my cases, writes the correspondent of
Bee Culture, found some difficulty
in removing the first section, but
Dvercame that by putting a thick piece
Of cartridge paper around one section,
with the ends upward long enough to
vatch hold of, and lift the section out.
Directions could be printed on this
paper. The difficulty might be over
come by letting the cover run from
front to back instead of from end to
end. Then the wedge could be re-
moved easily; but the piece Of paper
for lifting out the first section, I
think, should still be used.
Fowls in the Orchard.
The orchard is a very good place in
which to keep fowls. and there is no
reason why poultry yards should not
be extended to take in a large area of
orchard. Usually the trees shade the
ground too much to make any kind of
a crop profitable, and this shade is
Just what the fowls need in the sum-
mer time. Their droppings are great
assistance to the trees, especially if
the land is not too rich. The farm
ers that have combined orcharding
with poultry raising claim to have
found it profitable, and there is no
reason why it should not be more so.
The only drawback generally is that
the orchard is not sufficiently we'll
fenced to keep in the fowls, but it will
cost no more to fence in a good area
Of orchard than of other land. The
larger the area fenced in the less like.
