hours long we stopped all night at
Gothenburg, the great Swedish seaport
town and second largest town in Swe-
den. 1t IN a great, bleak sort OF
place, not interesting, but evidently
progressive, for it is the first place in
Europe where I have ever seen any
extensive building going on, and large
houses were going up everywhere.
This town is where the great Gothen-

traffic first sprang from. expected
to see very model place, but, alas!
we met six drunken men in three
squares. Perhaps they were only
sailors off duty.
The first thing we saw when he
landed in Denmark was the Kronberg
castle where Hamlet lived. 1t is a
wonderful old place, standing right on
the sea. The people around there say
that on dark and moonless nights the
ghost of Hamlet's father comes out
and stands on the ramparts, and waves
his long white-robed arms.
The ride from Helsingborg to Co.

of France.

across the pathway. l looked 1ar up

of the valley and wondered what would
happen, when, quietly, apparently WIFI

weight on her hind legs and tobog-

Raise Many Cattle.
Andorra has six counties, about a
dozen towns and some five thousand
inhabitants.
The chief occupation Of the people
is cattle raising, and thousands upon
thousands of COWS may be seen brows'
ing in the rich pastures, yet it has
never occurred to Andorrans to milk
these COWS and butter, and milk are
unknown in the republic. Dairy prod
ucts are nonexistent. The only cheese
made is that from the milk Of sheep.
Visitors find it impossible to procure
milk or cream for their coffee.
The capital, Andorra la Viella, has
a population of 500 and contains the
Casa de la Vail, or house Of represen'
Gatives. This is large sixteenth-cen'
tury building at the extremity OF the
town, overlooking the valley toward
Spain. It is parliament house, town
hall, school, palace of Justice and no
tel fer the councillors all In one. It
is also used as a temporary prison in
the rare cases when prison is neces-
sary. Crime in Andorra is practically
unknown. The only Andorrans SUE.

The trading that is going on is enor-

There is work for everybody, for be-
sides the trade created by the war,

The food in Scandinavia is SO differ
ent from that in America that many
Americans become sick when they try
to live on the same things that the
natives do. They don't eat fruit and
vegetables, but live on bread, fish and
meat. The Danes are like the Nor
wegians, for they adore fish, and even
eat fish sandwiches for breakfast. An
American lady we know here in Copen-
hagen went to dinner party and she
was served w*h cold boiled Goldfish,
and cold fish gravy tough as leather.
She was polite aha ate it, but as re-
suit she was sick all day.
The Copenhagener likes to think
himself very Bohemian, especially in
his cafe life. The women also boast
Of being Bohemian, and a great many
Of them smoke cigars and drink whis-
KY One can often see young wom-
an enter a cafe, hang up her hat, flop
into a chair and order absinthe and a
cigar. The Danes are great drinkers
and the wine they drink takes the
place of the fruit we eat in America.
The Danish women are not nearly
so attractive as the Swedish and Nor
wegian girls, and the women Of Copen-
hagen are not so stylish as the girls
of Christiania. In Christiania one sell
dom sees a fat man. There the men
are all big and rather angular. Here
in Copenhagen the men are inclined to
be fat, and they are much shorter
than the NorWegians.
Things are not very expensive hero
in Denmark, except the things that are
imported from Germany. We paid SO
cents for a small leather strap and the
salesman said that all tho leather
goods sold in Denmark were imported
from Germany, and that the manufac-
turers of Germany were so busy maxi
ing war material that they had no time
to make straps. Fruit is, OF course,

some Of the hotels were as bad as In
America. Ever since we have been
here we have seen taxicabs full OF
strangers frantically driving around
trying to get place to sleep.
Copenhagen is very dirty town.
The city evidently tries to keep things
cleaned up, and everywhere you see
the sign "Spytning formudt." This
does not mean spying forbidden as it
at first seems, but merely splitting for
hidden. Everybody here rides the BIZ
cycle, from the boy of six to the Wom-
an of seventy. The bicyclers take up
all the street room and part of the
sidewalk. They are very much like
the taxis in New York city-they don't
care whether they run over you or
not.
Are Partial to Phones.
Next to bicycle riding the most pop
ular exercise is telephoning. Every
body telephones all the time, and the
little bells Jingle everywhere. Every
street corner has a telephone booth.
These booths look Ike a cupboard
standing on table. When you want
to telephone you step inside the ia
BILE, put your head in the cupboard,
close the doors and none of the out
side noises can be heard. If you see
g. fine building in Scandinavia, it is
not a bank, nor a hotel, nor yet a
palace, but it is a. telephone building
