The demand of Norway and of the Nor wegians for political autonomy and the re luctance or refusal of Sweden nnd the Swedes to grant It Is a matter of growing j Interest , says the New York Sun. The Nor wegian constitution dates back to 1814 , and the Norwegians say they 'withheld certain rights which the Swedes aver were surren dered to the common monarchy along with the right of the king of Sweden to declare war , make peace , contract alliances , send aud receive ambassadors and manage the foreign affairs of the two kingdoms. Tht- exact political relations between Norway and Sweden wera not very clearly defined , and as a result of this Indeflnlteness and the ambiguity ot the laws concerning them there has recently been a great deal of fric tion. The most recent cause of controversy arose from the alleged attempt of the king of Sweden to reduce the strength of the Norwegian army while maintaining a large Swedish army ifor use la the event ot trouble. The area of Sweden Is 172,000 square miles ; tiho area of Norway Is 124,000 square miles , or considerably less. The population of Swedea Is nearly C.000.000 ; the popula tion of Norway Is 2,000,000. The population per square mile of Sweden Is 28 ; of Nor- way , 16. In a total population of G.000,000 In I Sweden , the excess ot females Is 100,000 ; It Is just as large In Norway , In a total population 1 of only 2,000,000. Sweden ha one largo city , Stockholm , with a popula- I tlon I of nearly 300,000 ; the largest city In I Norway la''Chrlstlania , which Is only half as largo. Tbo cxceea of births over deaths In Sweden is 60,000 a year ; In Norway It U 30,000 , The total emigration from Sweden in a year Is 45,000 , mostly male ; from Nor way It averages 10,000. Practically all the emigration from Nor way and Sweden Is to the United States. There Is some immigration into Sweden , into Norway none at all. The population ot both couutrlea Is mainly rural , but more largely so 'in Sweden than In Norway. There are six times as many Swedes in Nor- 'vtay as there are Norwegians In Sweden. There were 1,500 Americans In Sweden by the last census , but no Americans to speak of in Norway. Financially Sweden is muctt 'the stronger country of the two and the Swedish army Is generally regarded a § more formidable than the Norwegian army , which numbers 30,000. The Swedish army numbers about 40,000 on a peace footing. The total debt of Sweden Is 290,000,000 crowns , or about $70,000,000. The total debt of Norway is 160,000,000 crowns , or nearly $40,000,000. The revenues ot Sweden are from customs and excise chiefly , from an income tax and from the sale ot stamps ; the income of Norway is from customs chiefly. Tbo postomce receipts are rela tively greater in Norway than in Sweden , and tbo internal revenue taxes are much larger in Sweden than in Norway. The Swedish army costs about 25 per cent ol the total national outlay. The Norwegian army costs about one-seventh. Norway spends more relatively for its navy than Sweden , and Jthe civil Hat of Sweden Is , of course , very" much larger than that of Norway. Seventy-three per cent of the'forest lands ot Norway are plno forests. Sweden , by the last census , bad 30,000 miners , tn the iron and coal mines chiefly. Sweden's chief ex ports are to England ; tbo chief Imports to it'Sweden are from Germany. The United States docs very little business with Sweden , NOTHING THE HATTER. Wronir Impreeelon of a Mnnnffer Cor rected by a Cool Customer. A quietly dressed man whoso emooth- ehaven , bluish jaw gave him tbo aspect ot an actor , walked into an uptown restaurant , a few evenings ago and ordered quite a sub- j stantlal meal , says the New Orleans Times. He ate leisurely and at the end of the repast lit a cigarette. The waiter presented a check for $1.40. "I have no money , " cald thu atranger , pushing aside the slip. "Slrl" said the astonished garcon. The other re- peated his statement and went on smoking. The waiter hesitated a moment , then scur ried across to the manager and whispered in bis car. The latter strode over to ths table. "What's the trouble , slrt" bo asked politely enough. "Nothing , " replied the diner placidly. "Tho waiter says you won't pay. " "The waiter's wrong ; I said I had no I money. " The manager began to lose his pa- tjence. "Do you mean you ain't going to pay this check ? " he asked curtly. "I can't. " j There was a pause and the two men studied i each other. "So you came In hero , " said the manager finally , "and ordered a big meal , Sknowing you were broke and couldn't set- j tie ? " "I did , " replied the other , still per- I fectly cool. "Well , what made you do it ? " exclaimed the manager In a burst of exas peration. "Because I wanted the meal. " There was another pause. "I'll have you ar rested , " eald the manager , "For what ? " "For obtaining goods under false pre tenses. " "What pretense did I make ? " asked the stranger calmly. "Ob , well , you can't como In and take our food that way ! " "Yes , I can I've Just done It , " safd the other , removing the ash from bis cigarette. The manager scratched his bead. "Get out , " ha eald , abruptly , "and don't try this again. " The quiet man reached for hli hat and walked away , puffing his cigarette. "I'd rather lose the amount than have a disturb ance , " said the manager , "but I mu t say he's the coolest hand I ercr struck , " In the excitement nobody noticed that the stranger had carried off his check. Half an hour later It came back in an envelope with 11.40 in silver. "It vos a bet , " wa * scrawled U pencil on tbo back.
