1t is a ticklish matter. But it is of
such immeasurable importance that it
should be mentioned in these columns
at least. 1t is this: Norway has
passed a law which gives illegitimate
children the opportunity of growth
and development with a name on
par with those born in wedlock. The
illegitimate Norwegian child now has
the right to take its fathers name If
it wishes. 1t now has equal right with
the legitimate children in the matter
of inheritance. No other part of the
,so-called Christian world has yet
dared to take such radical step as
the Norwegian storting in this mat
ter.

A bill introduced in the storthing
provided for compulsory arbitration
of labor conflicts. The intention OF
the bill was to aid the laborers. But
in the course of time the labor organi-
cations were solidly arrayed against
it. AS final trump the labor organi-
cations, representing 10000 working
men, resolved to go on a national
strike in case the bill was passed.
The 10000 were supported by 10000
nonunion men. so that 100000, or the
bulk of the workingmen of the coun-
try, we're pitted against the storthing
This was too much. The storthing did
not dare to fight this force, and so
backed out as gracefully as possible.

There was very serious fodder
famine in Gudbrandsdalen last spring
Last fall the farmers realized that they
would not have enough hay to carry
their stock through the winter, and
so they began to buy hay early in
winter. During January and February
from twelve to fifteen carloads of hay
passed north through Lillehammer
every day, and about $500 tons of hay
and straw was shipped into this To-
cality during the season. Most of
the fodder was shipped in from
Smaalenene. The cost to the farmers
is said to have averaged about s23 a
ton.
The general manager of the rail-
ways of Norway, while on a recent
visit to Petrograd. said to Russian
Newspaper reporter that the Nor
wegian government is anxious to es-
tablish a commercial route between
Russia and England by way Of Nor
way. He suggested a steamship line
between Bergen and Newcastle. The
Norwegians are in hopes that sleeping
cars with through trains will soon be
running between Christiania and Ka-
rungi, Sweden, on the Russian border
The Fredrikstad Iron works has
received orders for no less than thir
teen freight steamers from shipown-
er in Gefe. Sweden. Their tonnage is
to vary from 5000 to $500.
Hotelkeepers, steamship companies
and others who take care Of the tour
list traffic are prepared for a dull sea
son this year on account of the war
Some foreigners who have rented
fishing rights in the rivers are ex-
pected to send wounded officers in
their places. Many pleasure steamers
will be out of commission.
The number of telephone calls
made in Norway during the fiscal
year 1894 was 6.270OO0. The num-
Der OF kilograms dispatched during
