The reforming Work done by settlo

came round. They patroled the place
throughout the nisfht. and successfully

The bone of contention lietween the
two sect ions of the government is the
common minister of foreign affairs and
a common diplomatic and consular ser
vice representing the two kingdoms.
Besides this, one kingdom Is devoted
to the idea of free trade, while the oth
er favors a protective policy, atui one
kingdom is la hearty accord with the
Fraueo-nusKhin compart, while the
other adheres to the triple alliance.
Sweden is the more populous aiul has a
trade and commerce alxiut double that
of Norway, and, in case of an outbreak
U'tween the two countries. Sweden
would Ik? by far the stronger of She
two. That a war is not Improbable in
shown by the fact that the Crown
Prince of Sweden publicly expressed
his desire recently to be iMM-mitbil to
lead an army across the frontier with
the avowed purpose of reducing the
people of Norway to subjection. It
might not, however. I an easy thing
to do, for when the occasion for it
arlwes It is possible that some of the
other countries of Europe might see fit
to interpo- objertlons. The present
disturlKsd condition of the two king
doms is a serious menace to the very
prosperotis government each kingdom
has enjoved in the reign of the
"good
king. Oscar."
The recent award of damages to Ca
nadi-an sealers by the British-American
commis-sion settles an Irritating ques
tion which has Ix-en pending for sev
eral years. Until the Paris court of ar
bitration in ISU3 decided otherwise, the
('cited Staieti Oovernment iK'lic-ved
that it had the right to stop deep-sea
sealing in Ben ring Sea. Acting under
this view of its rigJits. in issd it w?iz"d
three Canadian schooners which were
engaged in sealing, and In 1887 and
bf'.i it made other similar seizures.
The ow ners of these vessels brought
claims for damages; but when tbe
Pans tribunal decided adversely to the
i United States on the question of Its
I right to sup deeip-wea sealing It did not
fix the amouot of damages to be paid
by our Government; that was left to
j be determined by later negotiations.
1 The claim altogether amounted to
about one and a half million dollars.
Three years ago Canada offered to ac
cept four hundred and twenty -five
thousand dollars in settlement, and
President Cleveland recommended
Congress to appropriate that sum for
the put ioe. Congress refused to make
the appropriation, not because it de
sired to evade responsibility under the
Paris award, but because the claims
bad noi then been sifted, and there were
included amotwj them demands for
compensation forseaMcins which might
have been taken if the sealers bad not
been interrupted, and Congress was un
willing to concede these prospective
damages. Aa arrangement was there
fore made between our own and the
British govern menu for a Joint com
mission to settle the claims. This com
mission, comprising Judge Putnam
for the United State and Judge King
for Canada, took evidence at Victoria
last winter, and listened to argument
of counsel st Halifax last August II
has decided that the United State
shall pay tbe British Government, in
behalf of the sggrieved vessel-owners,
$'JSM,000, with interemt from the time
the claims occurred. Tbe sum to lie
paid is slightly lem than that sreed
tpon in with Irmerest added. But
that Is merely s coincident. Ftom a
pecuniary point of view, neither party
has gained by the adoption of the com
mimtion owbod of settlement: but H li
s more suitable way of settWnar suci
questions. h's.imich as H allows slfUnj
of evldetwe. If the commissioners bad
not agreed, an umpire would have been
called on to settle their differences.
The recent award Is final, snd the mon
ey win be paid within six months.

Eippiucott's. Early one morning, j
as I was wandering through the woods, .
I happened ujion a small clearing,
where my attention was attracted by
a catbird. Perched Uhu a tow pine in
the middle of the clearing, he was lis
tening to the distant notes of a cardi
nal grosbeak, his head tinned to one

giving a very fair and recognizable ren
dition of It. Suddenly from the woods
near by came one of the liquid phrases
of a wood-tbrusb. Tbe catbird ut once
turned bis attention to the new singer,
and, after a moment's pause, during
which he seemed to be fixing the notes
In his memory, reproduced with tolera
ble effect the. simple phrase, and then
waited, with a self-satisfied and confi
dent air, for another. But the wuod
thrush. oblivious of his humble imlia.
tor. followed his first phrase with one
containing one of the low client notes
which constitute the principal charm
of his singing ami which are literally
Inimitable. The catbird listened most
attentively, cocking his head first on
one side and then on the other, consid
ered the matter carefully for awhile,
his confidence meantime perceptibly
ooxing out like Bob Acres' courage, then
finally ducked bis bead ashamedly and
flew off Into the neighboring pines
without uttering a sound. It was be
yond bis reach and he knew It and wss
too vain to risk an sbsolute failure.
The Painter's Device.
Raphael, the great Italian painter,
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums or money, was
not a rich man when young, and en
countered some of the vicissitudes of
life like many another genius. Once,
when traveling, he put up at an inn
and remained there, nimble to get sway
through lack of funds to settle his bill
The landlord grew suspicions that such
was the case, and his requests for a
settlement grew more and more press
ing. Flnslly, young Raphael, In des
peration, resorted to the following de
vice:
