Hn the New Terk Tribune, have brought that part of Europe Into gen eral notice. The grand durhy of neland recently claimed the sympathy of the worM because of the efforts oa the part of Rua- ia to wipe oat cherished Institutions and to destroy Its Individuality. Nov It la once more the recipient of much sympathy on account of the sufferings of Ita people from hunger. Bordered by the gulfs of Finland and Bothnia on the south and west and bounded by Russia and Lapland on the east and north. Finland U away frota the beaten path of the tourist, and eoase qaently its featares and the eharacterlstiea of Its people are not well known. Finland ta larger than England. Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands combined. It has Ita own constitution, which waa framed la 1772. This Instrument waa modi fled and changed when. In ltot, the grand dachy was ceded to the emperor of Russia, hat it still proTides for a national parlia ment. In which the foar estate the nobles, the clergy, the burghers and the peasants are represented, and names as the head of the state the "grand duke of Finland," who Is the czar. The patriotic Flnlander speaka of the cur as the grand duke. Just as the Hungarian doe of Emperor Frant Joseph as his king. A visitor to the capital. Helsingfors. In speaking of the place said that the first thing that attracted his attention In the place was the great number of blcyrfea. The etreets are pared with cobblestones." he aald, "and far from good from the wheel man's point of Tlew, but the 70.000 Inbsbl tanta own more than J. 000 wheels. This Is the more remarkable from the tact that serea months la the rear the ground ia corered with Ice aDd snow, tearing only fire wheeling months." The Inhabitants of Finland are a serious people. They know nothing about humor, and a Joke told to them roust be explained. All classes are educated, and. according to the version of a careful observer, "they hare fixed Ideas as to the equality of mea and women. Co-education la practiced In Its broadest form, and the people are reared to disregard the Imaginary line which so ciety draws between men and women; yet In all social gatherings an antltbeaia to this freedom Is found la ths form of un usual restraint." Wsaaes aa fieaae! Boards. popular, but tha mtarfc which I prtwlu'ed i la weird and reminds oae tit the bagpipe. The tingle of the people Is ssi rather thia Jcyers Itsvagee of te Famlae. How severely the famine now rage In Flnlatd I shown by an account Is the 8kaa,lnaven, a paper published la Chicago as the organ of America's citiiena of ftcaa dlnartan origin or descent, which prints a translation of a letter recently sent by one Finnish clergyman to another. After tell ing how difficult It Is. owing to the severity of the Rose Ian censorship sver letters as well as the press, to make known abroad the true condition of the country, the writer describes what he aaw when la the regular round of his duty he visited the home of a family la a remote part of his parish. On approaching the house he found lying In the snow the deal bo-ly of a girl of 7, who had evidently perished while making a des perate attempt to summon aid. Thea be entered ths house. "On a table," be sari. I found a small piece of bark bread and gnawed off bone. In one bed was the lifeless body of the mother, and clasped in her arms and pressed to her bosom was the corpse of her youngest child, a little girl t years old; In another bed was the hus band and father, sick and helpless, more dead than alive, and by hit side the dead body of a little boy 4 years old." Such tragedies are said to be occurring all through ths famine district, and Russia, with her owa hungry hordes more numer ous than It can cere for, is doing Mttle for the relief of Finland. The Treasury de partment has Instructed the Immigration officials at this port, in view of the Fin land famine, to favor aa much as possible the Immigrants from that country who are forced to leave It from lark of food. In December about 1,700 Finos arrived la thia country. ! PAY FOR STAYING' IS JAIL !

Since 1S9I women have beea eligible as members of the school boarda, but among the working classes equality with mea has long been established, aa may be seen by the number of womea a ho follow vocations which ars usually monopolized by men. Thus, there are among the trades womea 144 bookbinders. Ill hatters, IT dyers. It carpenters. 14 paperhangera. 11 watebmak era. 20 goldsmiths, lit bakers.

For hundreds of years Finland belonged to Sweden, and. although It is nearly 100 years since Russia came across the border and gobbled up tha country, the upper claaa people still speak, Swedish. These upper class people ars called Finlanders. while the peasants, who apeak only Finnish, ars spoken of as Flans. Mr. Shoddy canaot live and be comfortable ! la Finland. Hs cannot pretend to be a mis of large Income, when, la fact, he la oa the ragged edge, because one of ths eus toms of ths land la to publish la the dally papers at a certain time every year the In come of every cltlien. Incomes of less than $1,000 ars exempt. With a full knowledge of a mil l financial resources his friends know whea hs Is overstepping the bounds of prudence la bis expeadltures and when he does or falls to do hia shars of charity This willingness to allow others to know their business is not mors remarkable than the custom which prevails throughout the country of entering a house or a room withost knocking. People never think af making their presence known before enter ing, never say or act "by your leave," but walk right la. aad they feel Jasttned la do lng so, because maay doors have neither bolts nor locks. Ths people are generous and hospitable, they love peace and respect law aad order, aad. although they are slow to anger, they ars equally slow to forgive. The Flnlander rivals ths Chfinamaa la his habit of asklag personal questions. He asks I his guest questions about his age, his bust 1 ness. income or family without reserve, but j when questions ars put to him be neve gives a direct answer, seldom saying ell recti y "yes" or "ao. "But aon't think," said the maa from Finland, that becauss the mean tempera turs af northern Finland Is t degrees, and near Helsingfors M degrees Fahrenheit that wa havs ao summer. Ths summer 1 short, but ws have warmer weather there than they have In England, and we havs better wild strawberries between June IS snd July IS. and more of thea, than la any place I know of." A Faaallr laattfatlaa. A peculiarity of Finland la the balk house. Every house la ths country, ao matter how small It may be. has Its "sauna." or bath bouse. This stands away from the other buildings, and Is alwaya easily recognised by the blackened wall against which the stove stands. Every Saturday the ahole family takes a hath not singly; ih.t is con sidered unnecessary. It ta a Joint bath men, womea and children. The farmer, his wife, brother, sister, laborers, friends who happen to be with them at the time, and tf there be a dog oa the place he usually takes his share of the family bath. By this cus tom the population cf Finland becomes clean ones every week, although few of the country people know what daily ablu tion means. The bath Is of a kind peculiar to the country, but it resembles the Russian bath la some respects. Ths room la hi?h the faactloa take place Is tiled wl h hot vapor, which la replenished by l Be attend ant. .was throws water on the heated stones and the stove. The kaisers are lathered sad scrubbed aad messaged, and. although taking hath la the Finnish style la con sidered bard work for people who are not accustomed to ths process.

To the visitor from ether coun tries ens of the noticeable feat ares of ths eaustry Is ths censored newspapers. Whea ever aa article Is printed which the gov ernment eeasor thinks objectionable It Is blackened or blotted out. and if this cannot ha doas ths edition of the paper Is con- tested, aad another Is printed without the objectionable article.

The movement which culminated In the selection of this MmmiitM has been coin a on for some time.

At the anniversary services held recently It was announced thst over 10.000 men snd women had an noucced their conversion at the meetings of this mission. The forthcoming Roman Catholic church directory will contain statistics snd other data about the church In our new Insular possessions.

The claim was read at yesterday Biora'cg't taee'ing of lie board, snd ws referred to the comrcittee. It furnishes j another chapter in the I Mi a J. Ryan case, i sod serves as another illustration of what : can hapren In criminal prosecution. Bohnen maie the charge that Ryan had stolen the sum of 14 ?5 from him while both were drunk at a rooming house. Ryaa wis bound over from police court, and it seemed advisable to h-13 Bohosen that be. as cotnp'alclcg wltnes;. mlrht be on hand whea needed. Heice it came about that Ryan and Bohnten were both In Jail 33 days. During that time the Jail board of each cost Doug'.as county 43 'cents per day, or a total of $:2.S0 for the two. The prose, cution required three days of a depnty county attorney's time, and the defense cost the county $25 more. The district Judge and his bailiff were occupied with It for more than a day, aa were also twelve Jury men, who had to be boarded for the time occupied with the case. When the Jury had heard the evidence it returned a verdict that hyan had cot stolen the It fro and ac quitted him. Thus tte original 31.95 In volved the county in proceedings costing ' more than 1100, and now Bohnsen. whose tale caused the trouble, asks to have added j to this sura I'.O as remuneration for vaica- j tie time lost In Jail. !
