7 Werner Won Heidenstam, the author,
is taking the waters at sanatorium
In Dresden, Germany. I'M
Between 100000 and 800. 10000 grown
men are employed ais farm laborers
| In Sweden, and it is estimated that
they earn on the average about $3.50
year. The cost of living seems to
average about - cents day. Ser
want girls working on. the farm re-
ceive about $3.50 year.
The minister Of war has announced
that he will ask the next riksdag for
appropriations for the organization of
balloon division. Captain Under,
the Swedish military attache in Paris,
is carefully watching the development
Of the aerial fleet of the French army,
and he has sent several valuable re-
ports on that matter to the Swedish
government.
A resident of Stockholm who for
merly lived in Malmo, wrote to the pas
tor Of the congregation to which he be-
longed while in Malmo, inclosing post
age stamps and asking the pastor to
send him certificate of good moral
standing. He; waited and waited, but
the expected certificate never came.
Then the man wrote to the chapter
of the diocese of Lund suggesting that
the pastor in question be instructed to
pay closer attention to his correspond
ence. But the chapter answered that
there is no law requiring a pastor to
send certificates by mail.
E. Heurlin, of Sundsvall, has been
travelling in northern Sweden as rep
resentative of the Northern Sweden
chattel insurance company, At four
o'clock one afternoon he left Sharfsjo
on his way to Vinliden, the distance
between the two places being two
English miles. In crossing lake on
the ice he lost his way, and he soon
realized that all he could expect to do
during the coming night was to keep
from freezing to death. He only
walked and walked in order to keep
warm. At two o'clock the next day
he met some men who came to haul
hay, and his life was saved. While
crossing bog in the night he broke
thru the ice, and one of his shoes was
filled with water. He carried dry
stockings, so that he could change,
but still his foot was badly frozen,
and one of his toes may have to be
amputated.

DEN MARkK.

81 John Forsell, the famous Swedish
opera singer. has been engaged for a
star performance next spring at the
royal theater in Copenhagen.
Mayor Jensen said to the city coun.
Gil OF Copenhagen the other evening:
froperly speaking there is no fnan-
cial embarrassment. There is a de.
fioit In the city budget which cannot
DO explained away. But the cause of
this Is, that for number of years our
taxes have been. lower than those of
any other city In the country"
The municipality of Siege built
waterworks in 1905. but the plant be-
came useless because there was too
little water to draw on. A new plant
was built. Now there is water. But
the chemical composition of the water
makes it cut the pipes badly, and it
has disagreeable odor which it seems
impossible to remove. It is proposed
to build third plant
A. section boss on the state railways
Of Denmark made little stunt that
he sadly regretted. He was to go from
Hersens to Braaskov, and in order to
save time he coupled his hand car to
a train. In going down grade the
train made such speed that the hand
car was derailed and thrown against
a telegraph pole. The rider, tho
seventy years old. stood the terrific
shock better than might have been ex-
pected.
Great excitment was caused in
Copenhagen sporting circles by a
quarrel between two of their leading
men. While discussing a business
proposition Captain Clauson-Kaas, the
manager of the hippodrome, told
Count Knuth, the president of the
Jockey club, that he had broken his
word. Instantly the latter sprang up
on his calumniator and might have
made hash out of him if their friends
had not interfered. Later in the day
Clauson-Kaas challenged Count Knuth
to a duel, which he declined with the
remark that the matter ought to be
settled by the jockey club. AS soon
as Count Knuth appeared at the meet
ing of the club the other members
rose and left the room. Clauson-Kaas
has proposed that his antagonist be
excluded from the club, and the senti-
ment seems to be in favor of this
drastic proposition.
