The Scandinavian countries, as
compared with the rest of western
Europe, have good record with re-
gard to divorces, as will be seen from
the following item of statistics:
It is more difficult to get married
In Switzerland than it is to get d.
vorced, and profiting by the fact that
1t only costs about $40 to secure dis
solution of the marriage tie, Swiss
couples have placed their country an
easy first in the divorce statistics OF
Europe. Last year the proportion OF
Divorces in Switzerland was forty
three for each 100000 of the popula-
ton. France comes second with
thirty-three for each 100000; Den
mark third, with twenty-seven; Ger
many fourth. with twenty-one, and
other countries in the following order:
Great Britain, seventeen; Norway,
fifteen; Holland and Belgium, four
teen each; Sweden, ten; Austria,
sight, and Finland six.

from Sagatun. The school now be-

But at the opening of the berry season
this summer she took bucket on her

and started out for her dear Ranfjeld,
where the cloud-berries were turning
red. Her step and her talk give no
clue to her age, for she still walks
fast, and her wit is ready for any
emergency. The berries that this wom-
an has carried on her back and in
her hands from the mountains and
woods of Osterdalen amount to scores
of tons, and the money that she has
made by picking wild berries would
make respectable sum. From the
time the berries begin to ripen until
late In the fall, she is at her work
early and late.

had no rest until she had told his
wife about this "secret" deal. His
wife expected to find the cloak among
her Christmas presents. Failing to do
this, she wrote long letter to her

did not take her husband long to ex.
plain the matter to her satisfaction.

wished to give to his own wife as
Christmas present. When the mer.
