NORWAY.

Rev Gustav Jensen has completed
the task of revising the Lanstad hymn
book, and 800 copies of 1t have been
printed for distribution among the
ministers who are to pass judgment on
the work. 1t is said that it will not
be put on the market until approved
by the church department. The hymnal
contains about geo new hymns and 100
of the old ones are left out, so that the
new book contains so more hymns
than the Landstad hymn book. The
dialect hymns are not put by them
selves, but are distributed throughout
the book according to their contents.
In the standard language hymns the
reformed spelling and photography are
followed rather conservatively. The
church people are naturally anxious
to see the new book and sample copies
may be had by direct application to the
church department.
The Norwegian Red Cross may look
back upon a year Of successful work
and great expansion. The most notable
work accomplished was the raising of
funds for the erection of building for
the society in Christiania. Many con-
tributfons were from $500 to $1,000,
and about $4,000 was raised in large
subscriptions.
The Scandinavian nations have suf-
fered large losses in shipping as re-
suit of the war Thus far fifteen Nor
wegian vessels have been torpedoed
and twelve blown up by mines. Swe-
den has lost six vessels by torpedoes
and eighteen by mines. Denmark four
by torpedoes and ten by mines.
The Exchange Telegraph company
has received a dispatch from its CORE
spondent at Copenhagen who says that
the Norwegian war insurance bureau
announces that Norway has lost 29
vessels of all classes since the ont
break of the war, with total valua-
ton of s7,50a.0o0.
At the new Glesmyr road, near Vas
Ter station, is a gravel pit in which
800 vipers were killed last winter. The
snakes we're of different sizes, the
largest being over yard in length.
When the men we're shoveling gravel
the snakes would come rolling down
from near the surface in the shape of
knots that looked somewhat like balls
of yarn. They were pretty dull and 1t
was an easy matter to kill them. 1t
will not be pleasant to shovel gravel at
this point during the warm season,
when he beasts are quick and always
ready for action.
1t is announced by the bureau OF
statistics that the city schools Of
Norway enrolled 1926 pupils in 1911.
and the public schools of the country
had an enrolment of 2S1,So0. The
present enrolment Of the university
in Christiania is 1900. There are 1870
students attending the Agricultural
school ia Trondhjem, and ass in the
! Technical high school of the same
place.
1t is officially announced that Pope
Benedict will be awarded the Nobel

DENMARK.

A dispatch from Copenhagen de-
clares that Denmark is greatly stirred
over Great Britain's proposal TO limit
and perhaps to prohibit the exporta-
ton of coal to neutral countries. A
delegation has been sent TO London to
atteInrs to adjust the matter. Ameri-
cGn coal companies have agreed to
send Denmark 100000 tons of coal
every month, but the prices are higher
than those charged by the English
concerns.
The impending strike of the walters
in Copenhagen was warded off at the
last moment after days negotiation
between Representatives of the con-
tending parties. Adolph Jensen, the
head of government department,
who acted as a mediator, succeeded in
drawing up an agreement which salts
fed both parties. The new agreement
is to be in force for two years.
The city council of Copenhagen has
appropriated 1850 for the distribu-
ton Of free street car tickets among
the poor people of the city. Those
who are found to ride much on the
street cars in connection with their
calling will have the first chance to
get free tickets Copenhagen is the
first city in Scandinavia to grant this
aid to the blind.
The street car service in Copenhagen
was greatly reduced the first of June
because so many of the conductors and
motormen were ordered to join the
army.
Remains of oak piling and other
wooden objects and of pottery have
been found under natural layers of sand
and peat at Lindeballe. The first dates
from a very remote age.

troubles to Prohibition.
And now, for clincher officials of the Internal

Of course, the liquor interests will see in this de-

this score. This loss will be than made up in
increased efficiency of the producers of this country
and in decreased cost of caring for criminals and pau
