IoiiK ConrtNlilpN In Norway.
Norwegian weddings are almost al
ways celebrated at the close of a short
Scandinavian summer , a season which
the Industrious Norsemen find too short
In which to work and from which they
would never dream of taking the days
that are' necessary for the long drawn
out festivities of the Norse wedding.
So the maidens who are wooed all the
your round arc usually wedded at the
beginning of winter. Norwegian woo-
Ings are very frank and very long a-do-
ing. On summer Sundays the lanes ,
the highways and byways are ateem
with lovers. Each couple saunters
Blowly along , not In the least shy , his
arm about her shoulders , her arm about
his waist Nor do they untwine their
arms If they pause a little to chat with
friends , not oven If they stop to speak
with casual acquaintances. Ton or a
dozen years often elapse between the
first day of courtship and the day of
marriage , while a seven years' betroth
al Is considered of very moderate
length. Woman's Home Companion.
I'eiia , Paper and Ilojrnlty ,
Whenever the signature of an Eng
lish king or queen Is required In a vis
itor's book or elsewhere It Is custom
ary to provide a now pen , which Is not
used by the hosts or the other guests
unless It bo handed them by the royal
visitor. Another point of etiquette
connected with pens and paper Is that
n letter to n sovereign Is written on
thick white paper , on one side only ,
nnd Is placed In an envelope largo
enough to contain the letter unfolded

Cruel ContcNtM ,
Bird singing contests for money and
other prizes are not so frequent In
England as formerly. Many of the
llttlo competitors , notably chaffinches ,
were subjected to dlro cruelty on these
occasions.
To make them King their eyes were
pierced by a rodhot needle for the pur
pose of completely blinding them. Thin
was done to prevent any opposing ex
hibitor from frightening the birds and
stopping their singing , an end which
was obtained by waving sorno object
In front of them. Blinded , the birds
could BOO nothing , and they sang.
The cruel practice has been practical
ly stamped out by the action of the
Hoyal Society For the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals , who Issued numer
ous summonses against offenders. It
may bo that In some dark corner of the
country the sumo cruelty Is still prac
ticed , but the custom as a system la
now done away with. Pearson's.

Sherman Gravel.
Concerning which so much has been
said , is a disintegrated mica granite. It
has been chemically prepared by the
great fires of nature in prehistoric days ,
so as to gradually weld together with
all the taxability of asphalt and the
durability of granite. This gravel is
quarried at Sherman , Wyo. , on the
Union Pacific , and used on the road for

Pacific therefore , cscapo the dust and

Niobrara people act as though they
would willingly give two or three court
houses for that railway extension. It
is probable that the town will realize a
great deal moro from the railroad facili

Missouri between South Dakota , Ne
braska and the west , that with the
proper facilities for bringing in the business
inoss , may develop it into one of the
leading cities of northeast Nebraska.
Norfolk is not yet prepared to look upon
Niobrara as a rival but stranger things
have happened than that the old town
should develop into a city of no mean
importance.

It is a sad thing to sec fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
It is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
Micir rights. While the rest
; row big and strong one stays
mall and weak.
Scott's Emulsion can stop
.at blight. There is no
ason why such a child should
ay small. Scott's Emulsion ,
