Women,s Work in Norway.

The scope of women's employment is much wider in Norway than with us, writes H. II. D. Pierce In the Atlantic Monthly. Even large public banquets are chiefly served by maids, and in the shops customers are waited upoa, gener- ally, by saleswomen.
 This Is by no means confined to few classes of shops, for both men and women; in jewellers and sllversmiths', in fact, In almost every branch of retail trade, while women are not exclusively employed to wait upon customers, they decidedly predominate. h the banks also, In the post and telegraph office, and upon the railways women are much employed, not only In clerical capacities, but for work exclusively performed h America by men
 In the University of Christiania both sexes attend the lectures lndlscrlmlnate- ly and are upon the same footing. Ia the practice of medicine, and especially of dentistry, there are quite as many female as male practitioners. In small block of buildings close to the le- gation I have counted the signs of six dentists, three of whom are women. Even in the law women are admitted to practice.
 The hospitality of the homes Is that truest hospitality which invites the guest to share In good cheer without ostentatlon or display. Dinner Is at three or four o'clock, served by trim, fresh-looking maids, and supper at eight, when, except on formal occasions, the guest Is free to forage round the table for himself. Adjourning to the drawing room, the guests thank both master and mistress of the house, and on the next meeting never fail to say, Thanks for the last time"

RSeurrent Vomiting.

This is a curious and often most dis tresslng condition from which children sometimes suffer-often needlessly.
 The term, recurrent or cyclic vomit- ing. refers to the chief, or at least the most striking, symptom. The attacks recur at irregular intervals-often after working hard over some more than usually difficult lesson, or after being kept in at school writing Hines" or making up for some neglected lesson.
 The symptoms preceding the attacA are rather indefinite and u4certain. The child feels dull and disinclined to play. He may be pale or sallow; there are dark rings under the eyes, and often the lids look sore and red. Then sud denly, and perhaps without preceding nausea, vomiting occurs,
 This is profuse, violent and persist ent, the effort continuing long after the stomach is empty. After whatever food there may be tH the stomach has been expelled, mucus Is thrown up, and often bile.
 The attack may last, with occasionaI intermissions, for a few hours or even several days. There is little or no rapid. If the attack continues any great length of time the child becomes very weak, and seems i'll out of all proportion to the exhaustion to be ex- pected from the continued vomiting and consequent fasting.
 It is, indeed, poisoned with certain acids formed In the body, and not de composed into harmless substances, as Is the case with the normal child. These acid poisons are the same as those found in cases of diabetes, and hence the disease is believed to be one due to imperfect chemical action in the process of nutrition-of metabolism. as these internal processes are called.
 AS the child grows up these attacks cease, but are often succeeded by sick headache.
 The cause Is unknown, but from the resemblance of the attacks to those of sick-headache, and from the fact that they are often succeeded by sick-head- aches, 1t Is believed that the two affec- tions are essentially the same, and are due to defective chemical action in the body, caused or aggravated by some oth- CT fault such as eye-strain. It is prob able, indeed, that eye-strain is the most common cause. The child subject to these periodical attacks of vomiting should, therefore, be examined by an oculist as a preliminary to treatment

but they are not wholly satisfactory
 either here or in Europe.

After forty-five years of service marked by unwavering fidelity, Sir Rob ert Hart, the inspector general of the imperial Chinese maritime customs, has sailed for Europe on leave of absence. If at the end of the year he does not return to China, his successor will be appointed In any case, owing to a re construction of the customs service, Sir Robert Hart's official career is regarded as virtually ended The work he has done Is remarkable. Under him, for the first time, a Chinese government de pertinent became not only efficient but absolutely free from corruption. Dur ing his term of office the imports rose from twenty million pounds to sixty seven million pounds. The career of Sir Robert Hart Is only one item in the great debt which the East owes 10 the West, and especially to England. One could not estimate in dollars and cents the value of the work in Egypt of Lord Cromer, or of Sir Andrew Clarke and Sir Frank Swettenham in the Straits Settlements and the Malay Peninsula, or the long line of governors general of India, from Give and War rea Hastings down to Lord Curzon- AL most always their work has been car ried on against native opposition and Intrigue, in the face of active enmity or surrounded by cold hostility; and It is always thankless. When Sir Robert Hart sailed from Peking, the largest international gathering ever seen there was assembled to bid him farewell but among the crowd there was hardly 8 representative of the nation which he had served so long. Something of this great work and this fine spirit Of ser vice marks the career of Mir. Taft, the real creator of government in the Phil- ippines. and that work has been ham, pered not only by the native opposition, which was to be expected, but by dis the ground for the establishment of civ ilized government Is work that involves suffering. frequently if not always works some injustices, and Is some times accompanied by cruelty; but the Anglo-Saxon race may well be proud of its constructive work throughout the world. Wherever IL has gone, democ- racy, too, has marched and a greater degree of freedom for the common peo, pie has resulted.

He Had Broken Something.

Mrs. Wilson had a young Japanese servant who had habit of trying to conceal from his mistress any breakage of dishes of which he chanced to be guilt. The good lady explained that it was wicked to deceive, and directed the Japanese to tell her whenever he broke anything. The boy promised to do as she advised One day, while Mrs. Wilson was entertaining some friends in the parlor. the Japanese suddenly appeared in the doorway. His teeth were barred In childlike smile and his eyes sparkled with the light of consci- ous virtue:

 The first Democratic convention to meet in Chicago was that of 1s64. It nominat- ed Gen. George B. Mcclellan of New Jer- sey on the first ballot. George II. Pen dleton was named as the vice presidential candidate.
 In 1888 the convention assembled in Tammany Hall in New York. Horatio Seymour was in the chair. When some votes were cast for him he declared that he was not a candidate. A stampede in his favor followed. He was given every vote of the convention on the twenty-sec- ond ballot. Francis P. Blair of Mis- souri was nominated for Vice President on the first ballot.
 The Democratic convention of lSI2, which met in Baltimore. July 9, 1872, ac- cepted the principles of the Liberal Ne publicans and indorsed their candidates, Horace Greeley of New York and B.

Both nominees declined, but their decinations were not accepted.
 Samuel J. Tlden of New York and Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana were candidates for the presidential nomination In 1878. On the second ballot Tilden was named for the higher office. Hen dricks was nominated by unanimous vote for the second place. The convention of 1880 was a short one. IL was called to order in Cincinnati June 22 and ad- journed June q. Gen.

 The convention of 1881 selected man whose recent death brought forth expres- sions of respectful regret from all classes of men. Grover Cleveland of New York, though opposed by Tammany, was nomi- mated on the second ballot, and with Hen dricks of Indiana carried the party back into power. To defeat him, Tammany tried to break down the unit rule follow ed by Democratic conventions, but the attempt was not successful. The conven- ton of 1888 was the first in forty-eight years to nominate candidate by accla- nation. At this convention Grover Cleve- land was nominated for a second term by resolution without opposition. For Vice President Allen G.

WHEN MY LOVE COMES.

My love may come in early spring.
 Through orchards, April kissed With happy bluebirds caroling
 In dreamy skies of mist. Then sing. glad oriole. and hush

 When heated meadows rest, And down the fields a goldfnch sways
 Upon the thistles crest. Then, blackthroat. sing You love the

 Sing, quail. amid the heat; And all your songs shall make this one, My sweet my sweet my sweet Her path may lie through leafess trees, Her dainty feet may stir Soft rustling leaves; the chickadees
 May all make love to her. Then. sun. shine soft from golden skies Stay. happy wind. to kiss Her cheek. and fill my swesthesrt's eyes With bliss. and bliss. and bliss . Acres. a track of drifting snow
 If she should chance to tread The lingering flakes shall come and % Around her darling head. The longing flakes shall touch her hair, Then. snowbird. round her dart; Sing shining snow and shining air,

 That sprinrtime might be here; I long for winter, if it bring
 My love a day more near. For what is spring or what is fallf
 Love only makes the skies, My love shall blend me joy of all

Automobiles have ruined so many macadamized roads that an interna- tional congress has been called to meet in Paris on October II to consider plans for saving the roads. The ma cadam road, as every one knows, is composed Of layers of crushed stone held together by a binding material
 rolled into the surface. This method of paving was devised for the use of iron-tired vehicles. AS the iron-bound wheels roll over the road they crush the small stones. and the dust sits into the crevices between the larger stones and binds them more tightly together. With judicious use. such a road improves with age. The automobile. however, runs ol an air-flled rubber tire. This tire, instead of crushing the small stones, sucks the dust out from be tween the large stones, and the wind blows 1t away, leaving the roadbed rough and uneven. Road experts on both sides of the ocean have been seek ing for some surface dressing that will seal the road when once made so tight ly that the rubber tire cannot draw out the binder by suction. Oils with as- phaltic bases, coal tar preparations and calcium chlorid have been used with some success In allaying the dust and preventing the wear of the roads.

Chinese Torture.

The ingenuity of the Chinese in de- vising punishment for offenders sur passes that of the most cruel people of the middle ages. Some time ago a boy was kidnapped from a village about thirty miles from Chinkiang and brought to that city to be sold. The kidnapers were arrested and returned to the village, where the people dug hole in the ground. like grave, about three feet deep, covered the bottom and sides with unslaked lime, placed the offender, with his hands and feet tied, upon the lime and covered his body with the same material. Then they filled the hole full of water, and as the lime slaked he was roasted alive and his body consumed.

The short road, crescent of semi tetached villas, each fronted by dimin- utiye priYet-edged inclosure dotted with shrubs, lay quiet and deserted when the queer-looking old gentleman in the shabby inverness and the soft hat turned lpto it. Putting at his old briar, he walked slowly along the whole length of the road, and then, turning, came as slowly back. Behind cur tained windows curious women saw him stand for space gazing up at that house which had remained with closed door and lowered blinds ever since the visit of the dread Reaper ten days be fore. Following his every action they observed him knock his pipe on his boot, and. after placing 1t in his pock- ct, push open the swinging gate and walk quietly up the path. For days the house had given no sign of habitation; the ringing of many callers had failed to effect response, and as his fingers came from the tarnished bell they craned forward interestedly.
 The door remained closed For 6 full minute he waited before he rang sgain Still there came no response.

Mustn't turn back, John. . Got to try and help him and raised his hand again to the bell, to arrest 1t suddenly and turn for the side entrance. After that the curious neighbors lost sight of him for some time. He reached the garden door, to find that locked, too. Stopping, he dis covered that the key remained in the lock, and. with little manipulation, succeeded in pushing 1t out. By the aid of an opportune twig he contrived to draw it beneath the door, and pres ently he stood within the garden.
 Mustn't stand on ceremony, John," he muttered. The boy wants you"
 He advanced to the back door and knocked There WAS no answer. Wait ing but a short time, he turned the handle The door swung open. and very quietly he stole within.
 The kitchen was in disorder. On the table showed the remnants of a meal. The range was choked with ashes: dust lay thickly everywhere. Tip-toeing along the passage, he tried the door of the drawing room It was locked. He peered into the dining room. It was empty. A glass vase lay broken on the flood. with the scattered flowers, just as they had fallen, dead and withered. The drawn blinds gave the room an air of gloom.
