Reports of terrible famine la Sweden
and Finland. 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."

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.

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. D slaugh
terers, 3S1 hotel and restaurant keepers,

ICO women la ths employ of the stats la

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

than they have In England, and we havs

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

B. C. Bcihpn files with ths Board of
County Commissioners a claim for ffO for
staying In Jail io dars, sad asks the county
to pay It. 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. !

A Valuable Collection
in Poor Quarters.
Few visitors to Wsshlngton realise, says
ths Washington Star, that in a poorly
lighted aad ventilated part of the rapltol
building. In that section midway of the
senate aad the house wings. Is a room
containing ons of the most valuable and
complete law libraries in existence. This
library la that of the aapreme court of the
TCnited S'.atea. more commonly referred to
as tha lsw library of congress.
Tbs room bow occupied ss a library, while
small, poorly ventilated and lighted, has
much of interest and of history connected
with lu It is situated ia the center of the
building, near that part known as the crypt,
aad ia the room formerly occupied by the
supreme court of the I'nlted States. The
room Is circular la form and the height
from floor to ceiling permits of the dis
tribution of the many books In narrow
tiers of shelves: otherwise tbe space would
aot be sufficient for one-half the numrer.
and. as It Is. the room Is wholly unfit and
Inadequate for the purpose required.
From this room PYof. Morse, the Inventor
of the telriraph, transmitted the first of
ficial telegram. A wire had been laid from
Washington to Baltimore, and the young
Inventor, surrounded by a group of promi
