DEN MARK.

The following story was told at the
Copenhagen exchange: A Copenhagen
business man who had made much
money during the war and had rented
suite of large and splendid rooms
made arrangements for giving his
friends dinner at his new home.
Among other things. he wired an art
list to bring paintings for 5000 kroner
for decorating the walls of the sitting
rooms. The order was promptly filed.
but the next morning the artist was
told by phone to bring another batch
of paintings for 5000 kroner to fill out
the gaps.
Bishop Christian Moller Of Aalborg.
who is seventy years old. has resigned
his office. He has been much inter-
ested in public education, and he was
rather liberal in religious matters.
The peoples high schools of Vail
kilde. Askov and Rodkilde are all fifty
years old. II would be difficult to ex-
aggerate the importance of the work
performed by these and other schools
of the same kind in Denmark.
Eight large boats are engaged In
scraping the bottom of Limfjord for
oysters, and 1t is hoped that they will
be able to get the six million oysters
which they are permitted to take this
season Last year only four millions
were caught. because the export was
stopped. This year 1t is expected that
part of the catch can be sold in Nor
way and Sweden. II was feared that
the rainy weather last summer would
damage the oysters, but they ore found
to be of fine quality.
l.. Andersen, a seaman at Boiden. has
had all the fun he cares for as result
of the war; Last February he was on
board of an English bark off Santos,
South America, when that ship was
captured by the German cruiser Karls
ruhe. which saved the crew and sunk
the ship The Karlsruhe had the crews
of four other ships on board and they
were all safely landed at Buenos Aires
He did not get fat, for he had to live
on rice and bread while on board the
Karlsruhe. Andersen returned to Eng
land with Norwegian ship and again
hired out with an English steamer
This was soon torpedoed, but Ander-
sen was saved For third time he
hired out to go with an English steam
er. carrying coal to Genus. but this
was also torpedoed and Andersen was
taken to Glasgow. Now he wrote to
his parents that he would temporarily
give up the sea, for he seemed to have
poor luck.

Green Food for Poultry.

Poultry need green food in winter.
Mangels, turnips and cabbages are
good. Alfalfa or clover cut early and
cured green and lawn clippings are
excellent. Some of these should be
fed every day. Now is the time to
prepare for supply of such food for
the coming winter.

though individual production is known
to be reduced from this practice.
The size Of the flock is somewhat
determined by the breed which is
kept. because 1t is seldom practical to
keep layers OF the general purpose
breeds in fiocks numbering over 100.
while Leghorn breeders consider II
profitable to keep as many as 500 or

Two sedate and well-known citizens
of Moss made wager to enter
horse race from the canal to the mar,
ket place, their horses being still more
easy-going than the owners. The
point at stake was which of the two
could take the most time, not count
ing the stops. The horses knew the
way. and the agreement was that the
reins should be hanging loose. The
judges appeared. and upon a given
signal the horses began to move, The
crowd was quite excited at first, but
1t was soon apparent that one Of the
horses dropped behind so fast thar
the other had no show. and the slow
horse won out by taking 80 seconds
more time than the other.

the same period 241 ships were ac-
quired and their combined tonnage

ships were built In Norway. The net
increase for the period was 81 steam.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood 10 a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ono
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
viii persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
