Says They Don't Know Sweden.

The result Of our many sins of omis-
sion is the fact that Sweden is one of
the least known countries in Europe
one knows about as much of US as we
know about the republics of Central
America. If the average American
knows anything about us it is that
from sweden come good and cheap la
horerS We are u sort of Galician race,
though clean, honest and vaccinated.
Il purposely speak rather strongly.
Strong words are necessary when one
wants to awaken anybody. But the
situation is bad enough. and it is not
helped by our thought that we are the
central country Of the world, the hub
of the universe.
During the war the name of Sweden
has been mentioned more often than be-
fore, and our skillful neutrality has
been praised worthy of emulation,
but this has not done away with the
worlds ignorance of us News abroad
from sweden in normal times is rare
Swedish Americans themselves some
times have very hazy notions about
modern sweden. They recoIlect the
country IS they saw il twenty or thirty
years ago and in some cases all of
Sweden they have seen is their native
parish in the depths of the country
When these older emigrants tell their
children or grandchildren about Sweden
they talk of a sweden that exists no
longer.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, July I'm.
Enderstedt, a Swedish newspaper man,
has returned to Stockholm after an ex-
tensive lecture tour in the United
States. He has given some vigorous
advice to his fellow -countrymen here,
much of it good.
During my stay in America he
writes, Il saw more and more clearly
that it is we who have neglected our
fellow -countrymen out there and not
they who have forgotten us. Some
blame falls on both of us, but it was
the duty of US here in Sweden to foster
communication with those who had
left us. If We had not been able to
persuade them to return we could yet
have led thew to speak with love about
the old country. We could have en-
our products.

have made their land known by pub

hibition of pictures and the circulation

thither the enormous stream of tour
lists who may be expected in Europe

plan for peace. We SwedeS do nothing
Certainly we have and have had lee
turers travelling about, but they have
been men who did not succeed in
Sweden. and therefore emigrated to
live in the new land as more or less
obvious parasites of their fellow coun-
trymen.

System Important Habit.

One of the most important habits to form is that of system. It is a habit natural to some women, but to most 1t Is an acquired one. It Is generally cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one Is young. but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi- able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless inc0nveu- fences and increase one's usefulness to other people.-Exchapge.

MANILA HAVING A
 FOOD CAMPAIGN
Germans From Informed Vessels Given Land to Raise Their Own
 Vegetables.

Manila, Aug. 7.-(Correspondence.) A detailed census of the food sup plies of the Philippine islands is to be taken at once to determine what grounds there may be for fears of a possible food shortage. The food board recently appointed by Governor Gen |eral Harrison has collected statistics of all kinds of food staples in the is lands, and this report is now in the |hands of the chief executive.
 An effort is to be made to arousee the entire Filipino people to the neces- sity for an intensive food cultivation campaign. The government, particu- larly through the bureau of agricul- ture IS to cooperate in every way pos sible, furnishing seeds, technical advice and government land wherever it is available. The city of Manila has turned over to the Women's club of
 Manila areas in various parks and city lion square meters to be used for small vegetable gardens to be cultivated by pupils of the public schools and women and children of the poorer Filipino families. The city itself has planted in Harrison park, the new playground opened in honor of the present gov ernor general, guinea grass which is to be used as fodder for the hundreds of horses employed in city work.
 The bureau of education has issued an urgent appeal to every school su- perintendent and every school princi- pal to make an effort this year to double the production in the school gardens of the archipelago. The sailors from the commandeered Ger man vessels who are now interned in Baguio, the mountain resort of the Philippines, have been given land on which they will raise vegetables, not alone for their own maintenance but for sale as we'll. Commanders of diff ferent army posts scattered through outthe Philippines are making an ex- animation of the soil and ground in their reservations with a view to util- izing every inch for the production of food

FARMERS UNION
 OPENS CONTENTION
Three-Day Session at Russellville.
 With Very Large Attendance.

Russellville, Aug. "A three days session of the Arkansas Farmers un- ion was convened here this morning at 10 o'clock with a very large at tendance. The crowd is so large that many of the delegates were quartered in the agricultural school buildings and dormitories. The features of the opening day were the opening session this morn l ing, which was followed by great basket picnic in the grove of the agri- cultural school farm.
 The address of welcome was deliv- cred by Judge J. T. Bullock. of Rus sellville, the response being made by J. E. Rogers of Magnolia, who is state president of the union. Charles s. Barrett, Union City, Ga., national president, also delivered an address.
 At the afternoon session, which was called to order shortly after 2 o'clock, c. G. Waller of Fort Worth,
 Tex, spoke of "Husbandry of Improv- ed Live Stock", and Bonnie Davis of Columbia county delivered an address on "Rural Credits and the New Ware house Marketing Law; How to Stop
 Losses on Cotton," all of which were
 very profitable. A business session was held tonight
 and the next two days will be devoted

Physical Couraue in War.

Nearly always physical courage re. suits from comparative lack of per. ception. It leaves out many consid. erations, some of them important. Tn wartime 1t finds justification in its generosity. To the cause 1t is work. ing for it freely gives all that 1t has behind 1t, including love of life itself It, actually seems to court death With joy 1t takes the road of sacrifice For this reason 1t must always be beautiful. And with 1t there must go marvellous exhilaration, like a spir. itual intoxicatiOn. When 1t reveals itself in mass courage, multitudes of men exposing themselves for the same cause, 1t must open up the pro. foundest depths of emotion.

Primitive Decorations.


 Townsend, an early Western trav- clcr, tells that one day he met about q hundred Indians of the Sac tribe. "rhey were dressed and decorated in the true primitive style, their heads shaved closely, and painted with alter nate stripes of fiery red and deep black, leaving only the long scalping tuft, in which was interwoven q quan- tity of elk hair and eagles feathers. Each man was furnished with good blanket, and some had an underdress of calico, but the greater number were entirely naked to the waist. The faces and bodies of the men were, almost without an exception, Enthusiastically painted, the predominant color being deep red. with occasionally few stripes of dull clay white around the eyes and mouth. The squaws, of which there were, about twenty, were dressed very much like the men, and at little distance could hardly be distinguished from them. Among them was an old, superannuated crone, WAo, SooH uItcI hci diiiN0i, Hiu DccA presented with a broken umbrella. The only use that she made of 1t was to wrench the plated ends from the whalebones, string them on q piece of wire, take her knife from her belt, with which she deliberately cut slit of an inch in length along the upper rim of her ear, and insert them in it."

Artificial Leg Made 300 B. C,

There is in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, an artificial leg, made about 300 B. o. of bronze, wood and iron. Who has not heard of the fam- ous "Iron Hand" made in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1504, for the German knight, Gotz von Berlichingen? Among the old-time Indians ears, noses and lips of plaster were quite common, one of their ordinary punshments being to cut off these useful parts of the hu- man anatomy. Greek and Roman vet erans who had lost leg or an arm in the wars used to replace them by substitutes, and Plinius speaks of a Roman soldier who--about 15O years B. C.-was famous for the wooden hand with which i.c was still able to fight as an able swordsman. In 1904 the Duke of Brunswick had to use an artificial hand.

A device by which the approach of .,ummer thunderstorms can be detect cd hours before the first cloud appears in the sky has been perfected by a New York electric power company The company needed something Of the sort, for on the arrival of storm there are always increasing demaSds for electricity in city, and the central station must be prepared in advance. The storm detector is wireless mecn- anism, which is affected by the electric disturbance going far in advance or the thunderstorm itself. The warning signal is given by an ordinary electric bell. When the storm is several hours off the bell begins to ring at intervals, and as thunder clouds approach It gives of continuous peal.

A western lawyer, 1t seems, had been so minimizing as to offend judge, a yonng man who had not had so much experience as the transgressing mem- Der in the practice of the arts of the profession. Recently, in criticizing q ruling of the court, the lawyer went beyond the bounds of genuine respect. The court announced, in voice which the offender did not hear distinctly, that a fine of $iO was imposed for con- tempt of court. "What did he say?' asked the lawyer, leaning over the desk of the clerk. He was informed. Thrusting his hand into his pocket, the attorney said: "1'll pay 1t. l never owed juster debt."
