News Of Scandinavia
Principal Happenings of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

Wages paid for male farm work in
Sweden have just doubled in 81 years,
and girls who are willing to work on
the farm can now get 1886 for every
dollar that they could get 81 years
ago.
The Swedish Kennel Club has Or
dered tent 1926 by 60 feet to be used
at the kennel show in Stockholm next
May. There will also be round tent
60 feet in diameter. The cost Of the
two is $4,000.
Hjalmer Soderberg, an author be-
longing to what has been called the
"decadence school," has written an ar
ticle for Thalia, a Stockholm periodi-
cal, for the purpose of mailing it down
as fact that the standard for the pro-
nunciation of the Swedish language
must be found on the tongues Of the
people of Stockholm. Protests against
this assumption, however, are coming
thick and fast from different parts OF
the country. Some of the protestants
even go so far as to assert that in
order to hear the ugliest pronunc3a-
ton of certain Swedish words one
needs but go to Stockholm and keep
his ears open.
The new electric railway from Are
station to Areskutan, one of the high
est mountains in Sweden, was dedicat-
ed the other day. The most interest
ing feature of this line is it's coast
ing course, which is over q mile in
length and has several curves which
offer good deal of excitement on ae-
count of the difficulty of steering the
sleds. The sleds and the coasters are
| taken to the top of the course on the
| cars, so that the fun can be had with
out the exertions that are usually con-
nected with sport of this kind. The
surrounding country is famous for
it's wild scenery, and the private COM
pany that built the line feel sure that
the investment will prove to be good
one.
A woman at Kivik has acquired To-
cal reputation as a surgeon. Her best
even the finest food The bird be-
came very poor in a couple of days.
Then her owner picked her up aud
examined her from the tip of the beak
to the claws, and soon came to The
conclusion that the trouble was due
to hard object in the throat Of the
bird. The woman did not hesitate
long. She took sharp knife and cut
slit in the throat of the hen, and
pulled out fish hook which the hen
had swallowed. The next thing was
to take a needle and thread and sew
up the wound. In few days the hen
was laying eggs as fast as ever. This
is the way Kivik woman established
her reputation as surgeon.

K. J. Friis, seventy year old

blankets. The man was taken to the

the man died under the hands of the
physicians.

does not deter the newspapers from de-

The Democrats are cocksure of re-
electing w. S. Hammond in the second
district. That is hotbed of the in
surgents and in the last two elections
Mr.. Hammond has had their votes.
This was due to the feeling against J.
T. McCleary. This year Republicans
are hoping to redeem the district.
State Treasurer Clarence G. Dinehart

situation will be different this year,
because either Republican will be
anti Cannon and will be entitled to ask
for united party support. The dis
trict is normally Republican, and,
strangely enough, was the only dis
time of the landslide of 1890. The
Republican congressman it elected
that time was John Lind, then of New
Ulm.
Another queer circumstance is that
the third and sixth districts, where
the Democrats are not going to make
any fight, are normally the nearest to
being Democratic of all the districts
in the state. The third used to be
represented by a Democrat before Joel
p. Heatwole. But the action of G.
r. Davis, who has trained with the
Democrats and refused to join the Re.
publican caucus, has won him the
good will of the Democratic organiza'
ton. The same is true Of G. A. Lind
bergh in the sixth. The democratic
plotters assume that he will beat P.
H. McGarry in the primaries, and
they haven't figured on the POSSIBLE
ity of McGarry victory at all.
No real fight has even been made by
the democrats in the eighth district
but this year, if they can get the right
sort of candidate, they hope to retire
