The Old Bedlam.

Bethlehem pronounced Bedlaml the
London lunatic asylum, was originally
founded In 1247 as a priOry, but is
spoken Of as hospital for lunatics In
1872, and when the church was de-
spoiled 1t was granted to the city Of
London as such an asylum. At one
time the wretched inmates were exhib-
tied to the public like so many wild
beasts, as Pepys notes in his diary and
Hogarth shows in one Of his sketches.
Patients that were harmless or half
cured were given badges and released
to beg on the streets. Edgar in king
Lear impersonates one Of these wan
dering Tom-o' -Bedlams.

SINGING MOTHERS.
Charm Of the Music Of Their Voices to
Their Little Ones.


They came to me In a dream-those
singing mothers. A long. slow pro-
cession of shadowy forms. beautiful as
rainbows and as wonderful. singing a
strange haunting melody full Of mys-
terry. First came troops of girl moth
ers. clasping their little babes with q
tenderness that was half fear and
with wide. inquiring eyes filed with
deepest realization Of life. Then came
strong mothers of youth. leading hap
by faced children and confident with
a sense of power. buoyant with hope
and radiant with promise. Last of all
came silver mothers Of men. leaning
on their stalwart sons and. though
bowed with years. yet gloriously
young in spirit. hallowed by memories
and glowing with the victory of
achievement. And |. mother. watch
ing these pass by and listening to their
haunting music, felt as never before
the divine significance OF motherhood
and all the hidden meanings in the
word singing"
All this Is music in a marvellous
mood, but there is no music on earth
more appealing or more far reaching
than the voice Of a mother singing 10
her little ones. No audience ever lis
tened with keener rapture to any
prima donna than that little group
gathered in the twilight hour at a
mothers knee. 1t is her dearest joy
ut that time to put into music all the
sacredness Of motherhood and the hap.
Diness of childhood. to teach and to
charm and to tune the hearts of her

SoIons In an Uproar.

Some years ago the Spanish cabinet
decided to take legal proceedings
against certain members of Parliament
who were suspected Of misusing pub
lie money. The opposition resolved
at all costs to prevent this. and for
forty hours on end they kept up most
amazing uproar. They cheered and
shouted, and sang litanies in chorus.
The effect Of the latter performance
was extraordinary. One deputy would
loudly intone verse. all his friends
chanted the response. and so they went
on for nearly two days and nights I'M
til a truce was proclaimed. -Pearson's

According to Secretary Moll of the
Swedish Iron Industry association,
there is a decided increase in the ex'
port of Swedish iron ore and prices
are steadily advancing. The iron In
dustry is in most healthy condition
In Sweden, says Mr.. Moll, and the
outlook for the future seems excep-
tionally bright. The increase In iron
ore exports during the past three
years has reached the enormous
amount of 100000 tons. In France,
Germany and Italy there is an in
creasing demand for Swedish iron
ore, and from England there contin-
ues a strong demand for this impor-
tant raw material. Swedish iron is
noted for being the best in the world
and in the northern part of the coun-
try millions and millions Of tons OF
iron ore are yet to be taken out. From
this standpoint il may be safely
stated that although Sweden is an
old country her iron industry may

tiles. Since women have q place on
these bodies, II is argued, they would
also become included as voters for the
upper house. II Is contended that the
proposed amendment is on the lines
OF the old Danish constitution of 1s49,
into which tie reactionary spirit of
1856 introduced baneful privileges.
The Liberals, Radicals and Socialists,

opposition. This Is also the case with

extended one of the arms of the octo-

be thought too unimpogtant to de-
serve notice. But there Ia q great
fishing feet In Iceland that consumes
large quantities of oil for their motor
boats. During the last three years
the Standard Oil king has raised the
price OF oil In Iceland from "a to 81
crowns per barrel. This makes ex-
pensive fuel for fishermen, and to
help the population the Icelandic con-
gress has begun to purchase from
other sources all the oil needed In
Iceland. 1t will be distributed through
government agencies without profit
and fine OF 100000 crowns win be
imposed upon anyone else who i'm

Speculative Atmosphere in
Wheat Shows Improve

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Wheat bulls
SAID last night that the market was
working to suit them. They called
attention to the continued takings of
cash wheat here and at the seaboard
and asserted that the demand is more
likely TO enlarge than to decrease.
The tone of the market is regarded
by most traders as better and, in fact,
the speculative atmosphere was bet
ter all over the board.
The Increase in trading stocks in
wall street and the advance in prices
theer are taken as straws indicating
that a change has come over the spec
ulative situation and that for the
present at least wheat should be
pought on breaks. Bears say that the
ADVANCE and that there has been bulge
enough and advocate sales on any
further upturn.
IL Is said that corn bulls would be
sallsned TO have prices hold around
present levels for two weeks or more.
