LAND OF REST AND QUIET
soJourn in Norway, Even If Short, .
Boon to American With Fray
zIed Nerves.

The population of Norway is 1884,
1872, about equal to the population Of
Chicago; but If the entire population
met in given area, venture to say
that their coming and their going,
and their meeting, would not make
as much noise as one may hear every
five minutes on dozens of street
crossings, either in New York or in
Chicago. In this connection it is of
interest to note that there are $4,000
more women than men in Norway;
100000 more men than women in
the United States, and 100000 more
women than men in the United King
dom. The total population of the
United States is 92,000,0O0; of the
United Kingdom, 100000. Theorists
may make such deductions as they
will from the proportion OF men to
women in these countries, but of the
comparative peace and quiet there is
no question.
Norway is the country of quiet
voices, gentle manners, and no noise.
The steamers dock almost without a
sound, and depart as silently. At
Christiansand, where we touched first
on Scandinavian soil, people got on
and off the steamer, farewells were
waved, the crowd OH the dock moved
about deliberately, but no voice was
raised; there was no shouting, no phys
ical unrest expressing itself in squirm-
ing bodies or twisted features; they
were almost as calm as the stars
above them. All over Sweden and
Norway one is attracted by the smooth
skins, unwrinkled cheeks and unfur-
rowed brows of both the men and the
women. They. have placid faces, as
of men and women who have not yet
been in contact with our disease Of
striving to live all of life in a day.
The trains slide away from the sta
tions at the sound of scarcely audi
BILE whistle, and there are no bells or
shouted warnings; the crowds In the
streets or elsewhere seem to pitch
their voices out of the range of hear
ing Of ears accustomed tC the ca
tarrhal rumble of London, the stri-
dent gable of New York, or the sibi-
liant cackle of Paris.-Exchange

Honesty.

Dan J. Callaghan, chief steward Of
an indianapolis hotel, has found an
honest man. Not to say that Mr.. Gala
CHAN has not met many honest men
before, but in this case he has heard
from new one.
A few days ago the chief steward
received package addressed to him.
self and on opening 1t there rolled out
a beautiful little pearl-handled pocket
knife. The knife had been carefully
wrapped In a Biblical tract, the cap
ton Of which read:
DO you know 1t is time for Jesus
to come to earth again."
With the knife was a letter written
In a legible, masculine hand. "Mr. Cal
laghan," it read, there is knife left
by guest on the table. 1t was taken
by me, but God, who is rich in mercy,
has saved me and has put the desire
and love in my soul that makes me
give back that which is not my own
and causes me to love my neighbor as
myself"
The steward has the knife and will
keep it as souvenir of one mans
honesty.

peeoy Perlseopes Used.

Such things exist as decoy perl
scopes-short lengths Of pipe held up
right on a float and looking exactly
like the real periscope. The sub
marine sets them adrift for you to
f1nd-sometimes scatters several Of
them.
When one is sighted you cannot
stop to consider whether the little OBJ
ject dancing on the sea half mile or
so distant does or does not mean ESQ
pounds of high explosive coming
straight at you. Maybe you will see
an aeroplane maneuvering over it in
a way that carries conviction that it
does. You don't dare to take any
chances and so you train all the guns
at 1t.
Then the real submarine sinks up
on the other side of the ship, and
with the swift rush of it's torped. the
latest of sea tragedies comes to an
end.-Park Benjamin, in the New

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords, at least S0,0OO,O 900 human beings
are born on this earth and 60,000,000
or 100000 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 10000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population of
the globe is estimated at 1900, 00G, 900.
The ravages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals of nature.
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
t1737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The ia

1908 cannot have been far short of

$4,000 persons in Japan, causing a

Ry ELMER HENDERSON,

By ELMER HENDERSON,
OF recent years there has been a
great deal Of agitation over whether
the large type or medium type animal
Is the most profitable. The owners
of the large type animals have taken
1t for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit Of grain consumed, and arguing
therefrom that, as their animals were
larger and carried more grain to mar.
ket, they must be the more profitable.
Such is not necessarily the case.
Let Us look at the case from the
beginning, as 1t we're, Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical Of the
medium type Of sheep, and the Ok
ford-Hampshire as exemplifying the
larger type, We find by experience on
our own farm that while seven or
eight Shropshires can be kept on an
acre Of land FIVE is all we could pos
sibly figure on keeping If Oxfords or
Hampshires we're kept. Upon this
basis, where man had pasture enough
to keep 40 Shropshires he could keep
only 100 Oxfords, Hampshires OF Cots
wolds.
The difference in grain eaten is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds pound of oats daily our Ok
fords get as much as 1A pounds daily
almost twice the amount.
The advocates of the larger type Of
sheep admit this to be true, but they
say, Our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
at the age yours will weigh rs pounds. "
Let us grant this for the time being.
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes of the large type
are doing well IL they raise 100 lambs,
Ia Is common and IL lambs per
eve lie not unusual in well-handled
Shropshire fiocks. One and one.half
lambs per eve may be taken as a
fair average. Our 140 Shropshire ewes
would have produced for us 210 lambs
against the 100 lambs Of the larger
type sheep.
Then, too, our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals that
when they go to market there Is no
comparison between the condition Of
the two lots Of lambs. While the one
lot is big and rough and not fat
enough, the Shropshires, by virtue Of
their easy fleshing quality, will be
smooth and sleek and will sell for

PrIvateer,s eIorlous Cruise.

One hundred years ago the United
States sloop-of-war Peacock dropped
anchor In New York harbor, after a
most successful cruise of lat days.
During this period she had captured
many rich prizes and destroyed YES
sells and cargoes totaling nearly half
a million dollars in value. During the
entire cruise she had lost but one
member of her crew. The command
er of the Peacock at this time was
Commodore Lewis Warrington. Ear.
lier in the year, soon after he had
come into command of the Peacock,
Commodore Warrington had distin-
guished himself by capturing the
British sloop-of-war Epervier. The en-
gagement was fought off the coast OF
Florida and was one of the most des-
perate of the entire war. For his
achievement on this occasion Com
modore Warrington received a gold
medal from congress.

MANY ADVANTAGES
IN FALL PLANTING
Trees Thus Treated viii Often Be
Half-Year Ahead of Those
SoWn In Spring.

There are many advantages in fall
planting of tree. shrub or vine
Among them is the greater time to
be devoted to thorough preparation of
the ground, cooler weather to work in
and to handle the stock, and the late
rains to settle the soil about the roots
properly.
The fall planted stock will often be
half year ahead Of that deferred to
spring, as there is no waiting for the
ground to be prepared or for the re-
covery OF the plant from the shock Of
removal.
The thorough preparation of the soil
by blowing and narrowing is impor-
tant. and should be done, even though
the planting be deferred until spring,
as the action of frost will pulverize
the soil and early rains will settle it
into proper condition for an early
start of growth next season.

Our Early Chinese Trade.

The rapid growth of our early trade
with China is shown by the fact that
the 81 vessels carrying in 1905 nearly
five and three-quarters millions worth
of goods to Canton. represented a
larger fraction of our total foreign
commerce than our trade with the
whole of China does today. The silver
imported to balance American trade
with China averaged more than two
and a half millions annually in the 80
years down to 1927, and reached a
