NOiSELESS NORWAY.
A Country Of Quiet Voices, Gentle
Manners and Piacidity. =

The population Of Norway is nearly
2,5oo.oo0, but If the entire population
met in a 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 min
utes on dozens of street crossings
either in New York or in Chicago.
Norway is the country Of quiet voices
gentle manners and no. noise. The
steamers dock almost without sound
and depart as silently At Christian
sand. where we touched first on Scan
dinavian soil, people got on and off the
steamer, farewells were waved the
crowd on the dock moved about DELHI
erately, but no voice was raised, there
was no shouting. no physical unrest
expressing itself in squirming bodies
or twisted features; they were almost
as calm as the stars above them.
All over Sweden and Norway ono is
attracted by the smooth skins, I'M.
wrinkled cheeks and unfurrowed brows
Of both the men and the women. They
have placid faces, rs Of men and wo-
men who have not yet been in contact
with our disease of striving to live all
Of life in day. The trains slide away
from the stations at the sound of q
scarcely audible whistle, and there are
no bells or shouted warnings: the
crowds in tire streets or elsewhere
seem to pitch their voices out of the
range Of hearing of ears accustomed
to the catarrhal rumble of London, the
strident gable of New York or the
sibilant cackle OF Paris.-The Late
Price Collier in Scbibner's.

Concerning Homesickness

A note in recent issue of the Eng
lish Lancet describes inconsistencies as
specific disease of mental origin. with
physical symptoms which is liable to
afiiict recruits, especially young re-
cruits. 1t is, of course, kind of melan-
cholia. but happily no cases seem to
have been observed in our own new
army. No doubt many cases may be
noted among interned prisoners OF war.
Cases were observed during the Ameri-
can Civil War and an American army
surgeon has given a picture of the dis
ease.
The symptoms produced by this
alteration of mind" he writes, "are
first great mental detection, loss Of
appetite, Indifference to external influ-
ences. and slight hectic fever AS the
disease progresses it is attended by
hysterical weeping, a dull pain in the
head. throbbing Of the temporal arter-
les, anxious expression of the face,
watchfu hess and increased fever and
wasting. Among young prisoners of
war 1t is the worst complication to be
encountered, as the writer can truth
fully affirm" This sounds like a very
bad form Of inconsistencies indeed. The
Italians, by the way, speak Familiarity
Of inconsistencies as a regular disease
of recruits.

Parlin was aged about ~ years and
resided with his family on the Ridge

there last Monday and on Tuesday

When They Mined the Nile,

In the Sudan campaign as the Brit
lsh troops approached Omdurman the
khalifa Ab4ullah conceived the idea
OF upsetting the. British gunbeat ex-
petition by mining the Nile. A former
oficer OF. the Egyptian army whom
ne had long held prisoner was order
ed by the khalifa to construct a coupie
of mines, which We're produced forth
with. They We're primitive in form,
consisting, in fact, Of two old iron
boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in
which was concealed a pistol with a
string attached to the trigger whereby
the charge could be exploded. The
nrst mine was laid by the IsmatIia and
worked by native crew, and demon
strated its efficiency by exploding on
the instant, sinking the Ismailia and
killing the crew, including the mine
constructor.
The khalifa was delighted, not at the
ACCIDENT, but at the testimony to the
power Of the invention, and immali-
ately ordered the emir in charge Of his
arsenal to lay the second mine. The
ameer. profiting by~experienee, insured
his safety by putting the Nile into the
boiler before. he put the boiler into the
Nile, He then carried out the INNER
sion successfully, to the Joy of Abdul
lah, who loaded him with presents
and praises. "-Marchester Guardian.

THE LID is ON TIGHT
4 AND PEOPLE ARE GOOD

Seldom has there been such a
stretch Of inactivity as there has been
in the municipal court for the past
week. Tuesday was the only day
that was married by the appearance OF
q prisoner at the bar, and then it was
but a small boy charged with the lar
ceny of stamps. Only once before
within the year has there been such
a stretch Of goodness on the part of
some of the citizens Of Waterville,
and that was last summer during hay
ing season when for fortnight not
an arrest terminated in an arraign-
ment before the court. Perhaps the
period Of sobriety and good behaviour
Is due to the fact that the lid is on
good and tight, and it is on tighter
and closer than it has been for >
mighty long time. What liquor comes
Into the city, and it comes always,
and probably always will is in smem
Quantities. The small amount sold %
either In kitchen bar rooms or by the
pocket peddlers. Business Is dull with
them, too. Hard times and the lack
OF work have made 1t almost utterly
impossible for the topers to pay seven
ty-five cents and a dollar a pint, the
prices demanded by the peddlers. The.
deputy sheriffs are constantly on the
lookout for the illegal vendors, and
seldom a day goes by without two or
more searches Of places that have,
been under suspicion.

Weapon Against Submarines.

Anybody who has ever; seen the
trouble that can be made for a
steamship when a rope. even though
not very long or very large, gets
tangled in it's propeller, will wonder
what happened to the submarine
presumably German. that was re-
ported in yesterdays dispatches as
having run foul of fishnet off the
Dutch coast. ,- +.
No craft, probably. has a margin
of safety" quite as small as does the
submarine, and hardly anything can
happen to it that does not produce
consequences serious or fatal. Now,
the nets used in deep-sea fishing arc
large. strong and heavy, but they do
not cost much. as war expenditures
go, and the little incident described
all too briefly in the cable news SEEM
ingly suggests convenient and ef-
fective means Of reducing these
much-dreaded little assaseins to help
iessness.
With a net once around her organ

either remain permanently under
water. which would be bad for her
crew. or she would have. to risey to the

HYFNOTIZED BY AUTO HORN.
Sound Waves Cause Boy to Walk
Into Path of Speeding Machine.

(Gardena Dispatch TO Los Angeles
TimeS.)
Standing in the. middle of the ROAD
near. his home. apparently fascinated
by the vibrations of a new automo-
bile horn, Henry Myers, a 12-year-old
boy, was struck by machine which
was passing through this town.
Young Myers was apparently hyp-
Noticed. So interested was he in the
sound of the horn that he walked
slowly across the road, allowing the
car to strike him. The motorist
stopped and picked the lad up and
took him to a doctors office, where
numerous scratches and abra sions
were dressed.
Young Myers was later sent to his
home, not much the worse for his lit
tie mixup with the motor car. The
boy was on his way home when the
accident happened. and was crossing
the street when the machine passed.
The car was equipped with a new
style horn, the sound waves Of which
literally hypnotized the boy, causing
him to stand in a daze.
