Boishevisn1 in Norway.

z London, Oct. 2o.-Bolshevisn1 has
not obtained SO strong a hold in Dem
mark as it has in Norway, writes a
widely-read British weekly, Common
Sense. In Denmark the Syndicalists
strive to play much the same role as
do the Left-Socialists in Norway who
are reported to be supporters of the
Russian brand Of Socialism.
'sThe Syndicalists, however, make
no show in the Danish Parliament"
says the correspondent. Since the
riots in Copenhagen last November,
when the Grontorv district in the cen
ter of the city was wrecked and
many scores of civilians and police
men were injured, there has been a
tendency to regard them as a mere
anarchist rabble. But. as everywhere
in Scandinavia, their power over the
wage earners is greater than their
voting strength and they have sue
ceeded. usually against the Association
Of Trades Unions. which has q large
majority behind it, in bringing about
prolonged strikes.
.The Danish syndicaiists. by violent
attacks on the Majority Socialist party
and denunciation Of its leaders,
stauning and Borgb5erg, have gained
a certain pull among the wage earn
ers.
.".rhe Syndicalists' connection with
the Russian Boisheviki has been re-
peatedly Indicated This gave the
cabinet a good excuse for repression
so that arrests, press prosecutions
and expulsions take place on scale
inconceivable in Sweden or Norway
where the Left-Socialists have the
rank. OF recognized. parties.
Further, theeDanish employers are
not helpless. They are threatening a
great lockout and declare that il tbs
wages demanded costs beyond a cer-
tain point, they viii cease rnanufac-
turing altogether and will in future
make their profits by importing and
selling cheaper foreign goods

Foolish. Fad Of Idle Rich.

). At one time snail racing was q
great fad in Austria. Vienna had a
fashionable snail racing club, where
fortunes we're frequently wagered on
the ridiculous contests. Careful rec-
oyds Of the time taken by the Whining
snail to crawl around the miniature

contestants might be properly handi-

"The EaerY Queen -

AS work of art 1.-THE Faery
Queen" at once astonishes us by the
wonderful fertility aud richness Of
the writer's Imagination, by the facii-
lty with which he finds or makes Ian
guage for his needs, and above all, by
the singular music and sweetness Of
his verse. The main theme seldom
varies; II Is noble knight, fighting,
overcoming, tempted, delivered; or a
beautiful lady plotted against, dis.
tressed, rescued. The poets affluence
of fancy and speech gives a new turn
and color to each adventure. But be
sides that, under these conditions
there must be monotony: the poets
art, admirable as IT is, gives room for
objections. There was loose
ness and carelessness, partly belonging
to his age, partly his own. In the use
OF materials, nothing comes amiss TO
him. He had no scruples as a copy
list. He took without ceremony any
piece of old metal-word, story or I'M
age---which came TO his hand and
threw it into the melting pot Of his i'm
agination, to come out fused with his
own materials, often transformed, but
often unchanged. The effect was
sometimes happy, but not always SO.

First Wheat Grown in Canada.

The first wheat that ripened in Ca.
madam Sunshine was grown in 1907
at Port Royal. now Annapolis Basin,
Nova Scotia Here Champlain and de
Monts founded n post and built a fort.
They were joined by Marc Lescarbot,
a lawyer of Paris, poet. and the
earliest writer of Canadian history.
Love of adventure drew him to Port
Royal. Outside the palisades of the
fort he cultivated plot of land in
part of which he sowed wheat,
brought, OF course, from France. His
sowing was fall or winter wheat 1t
grew well, ripened perfectly. and with
slckles Lescarbot and his associates
cut the crop. That was The first wheat
crop harvested on land now within the
Dominion of Canada.

Coldwater, Minn.-CoIdwate lays
claim to being the birthplace of the
original toothless buzz-saw. According
to G. w. Bennett, one Of the oldest res
idents, during his boyhood there was

Gated near the town, owned by John
Joslyn, who operated the daddy Of
all toothless saws. The toothless disk,
according to Mr.. Bennett, was six
inches in diameter, had been cut from
plate Of common sheet iron and at
tached to lathe. When in rapid mo-
ton the saw would cut through a
large steel file, throwing a stream of
sparks 90 inches.

THE PRODUCER.
Christ does for the moral world
what scientists do for the physical
world. In the closing sections of the
Sermon on the Mount there is gath
cred up the inevitable result Tin the
life) of obedience to the moral law.
Men came to the bar of judgement
and there must be some means of
deciding the rating given to each.
Priest and prophet are hailed into
court; shall they be accepted because
of the office they hold? The evil
dence is of the same sort as that in
the criminal court where broken or
kept law is the thing to be determined
by the acts of the man. He pro-
claims his innocence but words are
not sufficient. Not every one who say,
"Not guilty." is discharged by the
Judge. Christ is saying that if he
has Obeyed the moral laws God-given
for the directing of the life, he will
show that obedience in the sort of life
apparent to men. By their fruit shall
We know them. Does he use his office
to get gain for himself or does he
use it as a means of serving others?
The obedient life is the productive
life was the dictum of Jesus whether
it be tree or man. No thief was
ever a producer, no honest man fails
in being one and we Judge one a
criminal and the other true.
THE BUILDER.
No stable life, no stable civilization
can be built upon lawlessness.
Obedience to basic law carries ones
foundation of disobedience to the law
of humanity and however true the
structure in obedience to plumb and
square it was unable to stand the
shock of storm. Russia is building
upon the disobayed law of equality in

THE INTERPRETER.
Law is always a personal thing.
Behind it stands the maker. 1t may
he collective mind such as Congress
represents or It may be individual
but always there is a thought that
finally becomes concrete and definite
in the wording of law. Two things
determine whether it shall be good or
bad, the intelligence of the maker and
the motive. In the Far Country there
is group of men intelligent enough
to frame bill and carry it thru the
Assembly but behind it lay the de-
termination to club a competitor into
a condition where his money might be
freely extracted. That utterly selfish
purpose made the law vicious thing.
But it was still personal. Law goes
