The English group Of fowls, among

to embrace many different kinds. and

the aim seems TO have been cOmbi-

Of flesh. In this respect the English
and French breeds may be said to be
unexcelled Both nations are also
skilled In crossing varieties, with the
aim Of producing flesh with small
frames and fine quality Of meat OF
white color.
Buff Orplngtons are one of many va
rietles and probably the most popular
of the Orplngton family. They are rap
idly replacing many wornout strains
and mongrels on our farms and have
taken n front place in the utility poul-

LABOR SITUATION I'm SWEDEN
Gloomy Picture of the Outlook as
Given by a Stockholm Corre-
spondent-Genufne Appre.
hension Over Situ-
alton.
SWEDEN.
Stockholm,

SJOcknOAHhr
Tne labor situation in Sweden at this
time is one which, is causing genuine
snprehension all over, and the Swedish
press has pages Of interesting matter
on the situation. A Stockholm cor
respondent presents the following
gloomy picture Of the outlook and the
reader can then best form an idea OF
what is going on at present and what
il liable to happen: "The prospect OF
smooth working in the labor world
is anything but bright, and one may
expect a great deal Of trouble during
the summer. The most threatening
feature is the conflict between the dock
workers organization and the ship
owners, which is bound to drag in all
kinds Of workers. There are, or
course, two sides to all affairs of this
sort. but in view Of the present hard
times it looks as if the men deliberate
ly made an attempt to block efforts to
straighten out matters. Certain it Is
that the socialistic program, to which
practically all organized workers here
swear allegiance. would not help this
poor country, as it is fundamentally
alien to the genius Of the people. Most
likely, however, the benevolent bu-
rea11cracy, which has been in power
for so long-and is quite as arbitrary
will have to be done away with before
that fact becomes clearly apparent.
From academic discussions to facts:
Numerous impOrtations of strike
breakers frem the English slums have
taken place-some 800 or 400 are now
in the country and more are on the
way. That is bound to lead to clashes.
Some have already taken place. result
ing in few broken heads; but as the
Englishmen have plenty Of guns. il
may be more sanguinary in the FIJI
ture.~
Says an exchange: The agitation
for woman's rights has begun in

the women were refused the right to
vote by the last riksdag. whereupon

ing for its object the election of a

On the Ocean Bottom.

Sitting inside a submarine on an
ocean bottom you would be no more con-
scious of the enormous water pressure
without than if you were going to sleep
in your own bed. You might remain
twenty-four hours under water with
out coming up, using only the natural
air supplied in the boat without feel
ing the least uncomfortable. Ii you
wished you might remain down four
or five days, tapping the air tank as
you needed a fresh supply of air. IN
the meantime you would bunk over the
torpedoes and torture yourself by let
ting your Imagination loose to your
hearts content, or you might read by
electric light or play cards or dommos
or checkers, the cook serving you with
coffee and canned things that can ba
heated on an electric furnace without
causing too much smoke and making
the air disagreeable to breathe.-St'
Nicholas.

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

Copenhagen papers announce that
Ole Hansen, minister of agriculture,
will pay visit to the United States
iD the near future. Apparently the
minister comes to the states for
pleasure trip, but it is safe to assume
that his visit will mean a closer re-
lationship hereafter between the
Danish and American agricultmists
Minister Hansen will be the first
Danish cabinet minister to visit the
Omitted States-a fact which gives his
coming much significance. He is a
peasant by birth and a farmer by pro-
fession and has worked his way to the
front by the sheer force of his char
acter and ability. He Is plain, un--
assuming man, who never acted as IL
he had risen above his original sta
tion in life. His countrymen in Amer
lea ought to be able to present him to
native born Americans with feelings OF
genuine pride and he is surely worthy
representative Of Denmark and the
government that be represents.
President Fallieres, accompanied by
Foreign Minister Pinchon, arrived at
Copenhagen a week ago last Tuesday
with the battleship "Verite," which
was escorted into the Copenhagen har
Dor by a Danish naval squadron. The
distinguished guests were met at the
landing by King Frederick and men,
bers of the royal family and were at
once escorted to Amalienborg palace,
where an elaborate luncheon was
served The French president contin-
ued his journey to Stockholm the fol-
lowing day.
