The old De la Brache story is ever
| new. 1t seems that it increases in
SAVIOR with age. A Stockholm CORE
spondent, in reviewing the sensational
Helga de la Brache affair, says: The
keeper of the national archives has
| made efforts to find documents that
might throw light on the case of Helga
de la Brache against the royal house
of Sweden. In a special letter to the
king he states that the family archives
contain nothing referring to four let
tiers which it is claimed that Helga de
la Brache handed to Crown Prince
Oscar in 1912. But something else
was found. The bulky volumes seem
to indicate that King Karl XIV, at a
cabinet meeting held March Is, 1861,
granted to Helga de la Brache an an
nuaI pension of about $500 out of the
secret fund of the foreign department,
without making any investigation to
find out whether Miss de la Breaches
claims were based on facts or were
merely an embryo of a confused imag
nation" In 1869 the pension was
doubled. At a cabinet meeting held
March %, 1870, it was decided that
the pension should be discontinued,
because it had been ascertained that
she was not a daughter of King Oscar
", Adolf, but a daughter of a Gus
toms house officer named Magnussen
and his wife.
A Japanese exhibit will be held in
the Liberal Arts building in Stock
holm during the month of January
There is a contingent of twenty jap
anese students at Stockholm, who are
at present engaged in arranging the
exhibits and incidentally taking a
deep interest in the Swedish school
and industrial exhibit A Stockholm
journalist had made it a point to fol-
low the movements of these Japanese
students since they came to the Swed-
ish capital and he has come to the
conclusion that there are no class of
foreigners who visit Stockholm who
are so eager to observe and learn
about everything as are the Japanese.

The leaders of the Church of Eng
land for long time have been anx-
iOus to come in closer touch with the
Church of Sweden. Some time ago
the archbishop of Canterbury appoint
ed a commission to meet a similar
commission appointed by the arch
bishop of Sweden. An Episcopal
church of the United States was also
represented in the former commission.
The leaders of this body felt perfectly
at home in the Church of Sweden
and the joint commission agreed on
the necessity of the apostolic success
sion. The Swedish Lutherans of the
United States are by no means eager
to form a union with the Episcopal
church, because such a union might
hamper them in their work and in the
free arrangement of their own affairs.
An exchange correspondent states
that the breweries of the country are
profiting from the law providing for a
higher malt tax. According to latest
observations it would appear that the
consumption of malt was cut down
from 10000 tons to about $4,000 tons,
but the receipts increased from about
100000 to $1,350,000. AS there are
only fifteen breweries involved it
would seem that they either went out
of business or began to produce I'M
taxed malt drinks.
The announcement that Herman
Lagerkrantz, former minister to the
United States, has been appointed
vice president of the Swedish Export
society, has aroused the sarcasm of a
certain Swedish Chicago paper. Now
that Minister LagerkrantZ has been
retired it would seem that the paper
in question would regard it proper to
cease engaging in any further TRADES
against Herr Lagerkrantz' good inten-
tons so far as his native patriotism il
