WOMEN VOTERS LI NORWAY.
,
300,000 Have Full Franchisee—One Per-
haps Will Sit in Th* Parliament -
In Norway every Parliament lasts
tor three yet:eft and nit Ministerial
erisie or vote of want a eonfialenee
can end its life before the appointed
term. Nor is its peaeefel Weer even
broken by the Mae a a by-olec-
thin, owing to the preveiliug System
"underatudies "
For every Deputy there is at the
game time elected a substitute, tvho
takes his place in ease of deo.th or
illnees or retirement or tiny other
cause. That is why the women oa
Norway, though the franchiee was
granted them m the summer of 1907,
had to wait till the end of 009 tor
an opportunity of exercising it,
Before the vote was giveu to wornen
Norway had maahoorl suffrage, and
therefore the mere removal oe the
sex disqualification would have at
once resulted in adult suffrage with a
slight preponderance of the female
vote. A. way Out of that difficulty
had to be found, and this was done
by conferring the vote on thoee who
already had the municipal. franchse,
1. e., women. over 25, whether mar-
ried or single, who pay taxes to the
amount of 400 kroner (about $110) in
town and 300 kroner e (about W) in
country districts, about 200,000 in all.
A. significant number, for there had
been 300,000 names affixed to the docu-
ment by which the women of Nor-
way expressed their adheaion to the
roolution a/ June 7, 1905, which de-
cided the separation of Norwey from
Sweden. Indignant a being ex -
eluded from the plebiscite -which was
to decide the question of their nation-
ality, the wornea collected eignatures
to n document of their own.
cortring to the .Queen this action of
the suffragists 'enlightened the coun-
try and achieved their enfranchise-
tnent.
The act of registering a. vote was
no novelty to the women of 'Norway.
They had been school board electors
sincoe. 1889, -and in 1901 they obtained
the municipal suffrage' and right to
eleetion. At the next election ninety
women were chosen as councillors
and 160 as substitutes. In a country
where they practice at the bar, serve
on juries and aro eligible for nearly
all State appointments the conferring
of the Parliamentary vote simply
marked their entrance on an inheri-
tance long overdue.
The Norwegian women were of one
nand in desiring the vote, diversity
appeared as soon as it had to be
exercised. As in Finland, New Zea-
land and Australia, they voted loyally
with their parties. Of these there are
three in Norway—the Liberal-Consere
vative alliance (who might be de -
!scribed as anti -socialist Liberals), the
Radicals, and Social Democrats. As
far as can be ascertained, the num-
ber of women voting for the first was
74,000, for the second 40,000, for the
third 30,000.
As every elector is also eligible,
there was not a little speculation as
to whether Norway would follow ea
example of Finland, where the woman
deputy appeared sunutaneously with
the woman voter, or of Australia,
where women znay ;sit in the Federal
Parliament, but hitherto the elector-
ate has preferred to put its trust in
men. Among the women candidates
who went to the poll were three for
the office of deputy. Of these Froken
Gina Krog, one of the leadieg suf-
frage workers, stood as a Radical, She
polled only 863 votes, as against 9,033
fair the Conservative.
Fru Martha. Tynaes, a Socialist,
polled 2,521, against her opponent's
5,141, and at a second ballot in Trom-
so another Socialist woman received
264 votes, as against 380 given. to the
Conservative.
Of the candidates for the place of
eubstitute, one actually secured a
majority, Froken Anna Rogste.d, who
might be called a member for the
teaching profession. She has been
engaged an school work. for thirty-
six years, is chairman of the Chris-
tiana Teaohere' Association and its
representative on the school board.
And with all this professional and
publio work she found time to help
in organizing a new political party
known. as the Progressive Loft.
A capable teacher, a broad minded
And many sided woman, she is uni-
versally regarded as the right person

means improbable that she will be
called on to fit lthe more responsible
position, since the deputy whom she
would have to replace, Gen. Bratlie,

LACK OF PURE BLOOD
The Cause of Most Illos—The
Cure, Enrich the Eked Supply.
Any illness caused by lack of blood
will be benefited and cured by a course
of treatment with Dr. 'Williams' Pink
Pills. These Pills increase the red mat-
ter in the blood and enable it to carry
to every organ and tissue an increased
supply of oxygen, the great supporter
of all organic life. This has bon proved
by cures in thousands of eases not only
in Canada, but in all parts of the world.
More people to -day owe health and hap-
piness to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than
to any other medicine. One of these is
Mr. James Starr, of Galahad, Alta., who
says: "A few years ago I became ill and
very weak. Some days I would have a
hot, dry fever and. on others would be
bathed in a cold sweat. I grew weaker
and weaker until I could do no kind of
evork and was filially confined to my
bed. I tried several doctors, who cost
me considerable money, but did me no
good, as I was still getting weaker and
weaker. I asked the last doctor who at-
tended me to tell me frankly if he could
cure me, and he told me my case was
so complicated that he dihl not think he
could help me. I told him I had heard
a great deal about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and asked if he thought they
would help me. His reply wast 'Well,
they won't do you any harm'and they
may help you.' I sent for a. half dozen
boxes at once and began taking them.
After taking three boxes there was no
doubt they were helping me, and I con-
tinued using them for some time longer.
With the result that 1 tun now as strong
and hearty and can do as good a day's
work as any man in my neigithorhood."
These Pills are sold by -all medicine

busluesslike.

frame. In return, he authtrized nein
to recoup thetneelves in any way they
elegised.
"Here we find the explanation of the
large lumber of persons who accom-
panies the Sitalt on his travels, and the
quaint and unexpeeted titles that they
bore, such as that of Minister ot the
Dolt Yard (though Persia, has never
owned a navy), and one still more ex-
traordinary, that of Attorney to the
Heir Apparent.
Although they sometimes had roman -
tie souls, they Invariably had terribly
practical minds. Eager to recover their
outlay as quickly as passible, they prac-
tised on a huge setae and without
scruple or hesitation what I may de-
seribe as the bonus or commission sys-
tem. This explained how cu each of his
trips to France the Shah was able to
spend, from eight to twelve million
franes in pocket money.
"He always eatried a. loaded pistol in
his trousers pocket, though he- never
used it. On one 'of his journeys in
France be even took it in his loon to
make a high court official welk before

up to the threaening bodyguard.
"Put that revolver away,' I said. 'It
is not the custom here.'
"But I had to insist pretty strongly
before he consented to lay aside his
Weapon. '
"The Shah, for that matter, was no
less distrustful of his own subjects. I
observed that when the Persians were in
his preseno they adopted a uniform at-
titade, which consisted in holding their
hands crossed on their stomachs, no
dottlat as evidence of their harmless in-
tention. It nue a guaranty—of a very
casual sort, we must admit.
"For the rest, his 'atones' displayed
themselves upon the most diverse as-
pects and in the most unexpected air-
eumstances. For instance, there was no
persuading hint to attend the Eiffel
Tower, The disa.ppointment of his
guides was increased by the feet that
he would come as far as the foot of the
pillars- they always thought that he
meant go up.
"But no, ono below the immense iron
framework he gazed up in the air, ex-
amined the lifts, flung a tintid glance
at the staircases, then suddenly tamed
on his heels and walk(); away. They
told him in vain that his august father
had gone up as far as the first floor;
nothing could induce him to do as
much,
"The instinetive dread of darkness and
solitude were so keen in the Persian
monarch that he required his bedroom
to be filled during the night with light
and sound. Accordingly every evening,
as soon se he had lain down and closed
his eyes, the members of his suite gath-
ered round. his bed, lighted all the
eandelabra and exchanged their impres-
sions aloud; while young nobles of the
court, relieving one another in pairs,
conecientiously patted his arms and legs
with light, e,htup little taps.
"The king of kings imagined that he
was in this way keeping death at a safe
distance, if perehence it should: take a
fancy to visit him in his sleep; and the
extraordinary thine is- that he did sleep,
notwithstanding all this massage, light
and noise."
FORTY WAYS OF BAKING BREAD,
From Sticking It on a Hot Jar to
Turning a Kettle Over It.
"In visiting Greece I was struck with
the primitive ovens built behind most of
the houses in small towns," says a cor-
respondent of the Bakers' Weekly.
"These were like large beehives built
of clay; they were evidently solid up to
the sole, then had the arched roof over,
with a ddor at one side.
"They are heated with fires of straw
and twigs and when ready for use are
.swept out, the dough put in and the
opening etoppcd up with stones and clay
till the bread is cooked. Struetures like
tied twigs and when ready for use are
swept out, the dough put in and the
opening stopped up with stones and clay
these are typietil of the ovens found in
ntany lands where men have had to
evolve appliances for various uses from
the materials they had at heed.
"Thus in some place we find holes dug
in the well and lined. with stones, in
width a fire is kept burning till suffict.
ent heat is raised, the bread being then
put in and a stone laid over the opening,
with a, fire on it to keep up the cookieg,

PROSPECTING FOR
HOMESTEADS
Has anyone heard of Kendersley? I
know I had not until a breath of the
western land fever caught me about a
month ago, and I looked it up oa
homestead map front Ottawa. Kenders.
ley is at the far Western and. of the steel
on the new Canadian Noethern line from
Saskatoon to Calgary, and since the fall
of 1909 one of the centres of the home-,
stead. rush.
How do yea get there? From Sas.
katoon as far west as Rosetown, the
Canadian Northern runs a train once
a week. This spring every train was
packed-ethe usual motley crowd—four
or five small youngsters packed in one
seat; handbags, wraps, lunch and se on
in another; a few tired -looking settlers'
wives—and a large majority of bache-
lors after land.
At Rosettavn, where.the train stops for
the night, the hotel accommodation is
always short. All the restaurants have
tiers of buaks where you can try to get
to sleep (with emphasis on the try), and
sometimes you may even get a shake-
down on the floor. .The night I came
through, and It was no exception, pro.
tically all this space wee gone before the
train came in, and we were fortunate to
be allowed to sit up all night in the
passenger coaches, which were left -stand-
ing on the track. One could not help
pitying the children who had to go
through this, even though they did keep
the car awake all night.
Next morning a construction train—
all freight except two passenger coaches
—was scheduled to leave for Kendersley.
(The Canadian Northern has not yet
taken over thie part of the line). "The
Keudersley Express" runs when and how
it feels like it—taking, as a rule, any-
where from ten to fifteen hours to make
the trip of 6,5 miles. It rocks along over
the sleepers like a prairie achooner, and
when it stops—or starts—the jolt al -
moat breaks the windows. 'When I came
out, it was supposed to leave Rosetown
at 7 a. m.—it left at 10. But once it did
get sterted it kept going fairly steadily,
only taking a siding once for an hour to
let a. gravel train; go past, and stopping
again for a similar length ottime at the
gravel pit for lunch, besides long stops
at water -tanks and. stheions In between.
• Kendersley calls it "The Hub of the
Last and Best West"—with six lumber
yards., 'as nutny restaurants,, a good-
sizea hotel, four general stores, and two
blacksmith shops. It is quite a com-
plete western town, and everyone busy
—so busy that they can hardly got all
the work done. Settlers are constantly
being outfitted—many of them going
as far as sixty or one hundred miles
into Alberta, often by ox -team ttud
wagon. In one day I saw as many as
thirty such teams following the western
trail along the railroad grade, or return-
ing empty for another load. Kenders-
lea is the terminus now. When the
steel is pushed farther on it may be
different. Now it is the "hut)," both
for actual honteethaders and for those
who are still seeking.
Of the latter, och train brings its
quota, of eeekere, and each train also
takes out its portiott of the disappoint -
ea ones. The town is full of "looters"
who will show . yeti a good quarter-see-
tion—absolutely the beat left—for $25
and their txperiscs at $10 a day. The
lambs* are many, and' they get properly
fleeced. People whit come out here with

Things Oats Will Eat.
(Our Dumb Animals.)
The greatly advanced price of meat
during the past year has brought some-
thing to my notice of which 1 was not
before aware: how many owners of Cats
are ignorant of what the animals may
be fed upon besides Doh.
Of 'course, all pussies prefer raeat as
well as mice, but the variety of other
things they will eat seems to be general-
ly unknown, even by many persons who
have had eats all their lives. It must be
remembered, though, that the felines
differ in their tastes as -widely as hu-
man beings do, and a, family of kittens
raised in the same heimehold, under
identical conditions, Will show unase

of food and as strong a dislike for other

will eat buttered toast ravenously, never
seeming to 'get enough; yet his brother
turns up his ebony nose at the dainty

Why? • For to reason that 1 can think

A DANGEROUS TREE PEST.
The brown tail. moth, which was intro-
duced into Massachusetts from Europe
in 1890 has found its way into several
of the Eastern States. In 1007 it made
its first appearance in Ring's county,
N. $, Fortunately the Department of
Agriculture of Nova Bootie instituted
a campaign ttgainet the pest and thou-
sands of its nests have since beeu de-
stroyed each. year in Ring's, Annapolis
arid Yarmouth counties. Specimens of
the mothshave been found he New
Brunswick also, but their propagation
has so far been prevented.
In 1909, the Division of Entomology in
the Dominion Department of Agriculture
at Ottawa. learned that tho winter webs
of these caterpillars had been found in
took steps to have all nursery stock im-
ported front France. 14 itnmediately
took steps to have all nursery stook in -
ported from Europe carefully examined.
Over a million and a half plants were
gone over, and nearly 200 of the webs
were found on French stock. The in-
spection has been going on this season,
and a large number of the caterpillers
have been found. The horticultural de-
partments of New York and of the sev-
eral Provinces are co-operating with the
Dominion authorities in the endeavor
to exclude this pest.
The brown tail moth ie very common
in Europe, but is only occasioually in-
jurieue there because of the presence of
parasitic insects which keep it in check.
It is capable of increasing with astonish-
ing rapidity, and the absence of the para-
sitic 'checks here render it important to
prevent it establishing itself in our or-
charde. It is an onanivoeous feeder, and
Is capable of doing much damage th the
forests of oak, maple, elm, ash, etc., as
•well as to the orchard evees. In some
of the eastern States, it appears to have
obtained such a foothold that the only
hope of successfully combating it lies in
the importation from Europe of its para-
sitic enemies. Some of these have al-
-ready been released in the United
States, and it Is hoped that they will
bear the climate and increftee to such a
degree as to checkmate the destructive
moths. We may have need for their ser-
ves in Canada.
THE CROP THAT PAYS.
No farmer can make the broad state-
ment that one crop pays better than
another. The amount of the return de-
pends largely upon the character of the
land on which the crop is grown. One
kiwi of land brings the greatest re-
turn from a certain crop; another piece
of land, of different quality would per-
haps yield a very small return if Sowed
to the same crop. Finding out the par.
tieular class of crop the land is best
suited to growing is therefore a very
import/let matter for the wide-awake
fernier.
A splendid example of what can be
gained by the intelligent adaptation of
crops to soil conditions is to be found
in the county of Norfolk, Ontario. In
certain parts of that county there are
considerable areas of sandy land that
eantiot hope to coinpeto with heavier,
richer soils in the growing of wheat
and other staple graina. Thus, farmerS
who attempted to grow these crops
found that their profits were not
as satisfactory as might have been de-
sired. Some years ago, however, a few
rnen noted that the soil and elimete of
the county were well suited to growing
fruit, especially apples. The Norfolk.

ly by selecting the .crop best adapted to
the soil. The work that the Commission
of Conservation hae undertaken, of class-
ifying lands according to the character
of the soil to determine what crops can
most profitably be grown, is therefore
a task of no small inmortance. If the
Commission points out the crops that •
pay the best on different soils both the
farmer and the nation will be the richer

WESTERN CROPS SMALLER THAN
EXPECTED.
After the brilliant prospects for a
large grain harvest in the Canadian
Northwest and the Dakotas, those hopes
have been largely frustrated. by the ab-
normal hot, dry weather that obtained
during the past month or six weeks. The
yields, as a result, are not likely to
reach much over fifty or sixty per cent.
of the amotrnt thee was looked. for in
the early computation. Crop damage
has been especially heavy in the north-
ern seetions of the three western Pro-
vinces. The hay crop is so badly burned
up in many districts that not, a few of
the ferment are shipping their cattle ra-
ther than attempt to fatten them. In
consequence of this state of affairs sev-
eral of the buyers of Inanufactured geode
in the west are cancelling their orders
in anticipation of a very poor demand
during the winter months. Of course,
reference is made more particularly to
articles of luxury or !Melt as are not
abolutely needed. A half crop of some -
Neer° in the neighborhood of 80,000,000,
which Itis expected will be the output
of the Northwest this year, will, how-
ever, bring in considerable revenue at ex-
isting prices, as the greater part of the
wheat will have to go for export. The
winter wheat on the American side is
turning into a much better crop than
was expected some thee ago, and, on the
whole, the Americans are likely to have
• a considerable amount for export.—To-

THE PLOWMAN'S WAY WEARY, IN-
DEED.
To turn a single acre of ground with
a 12 -inch plow requires eight and one-
fourth miles of heavy furrow travel. In
plowing one square mile of land, the sol-
itary plowman and his horses must walk
5,280 miles.. It would be easier (and
the distano is less) to walk around the
earth et the equator (if there were ne
ocean) than to follow a plow turning a
prairie of five square miles. To lequal
our natioual tale of plowing—the work
of myriads of toms, each using force
sufficient to move seven tons over a
good stone road—it would take an army
of 4,550 plowmen to travel as far as
from the earth to the moon and back
again. For tho world's yeerly labor of
this kind, it •would sertd about 80,000
men an that same half-million-mile-
journey.—Worlds' Work.

FIDELITY;
To engage in the performance of
home duties faultlessly, without petit -
lance, without haste, without fretting—
to repress the sarcastic and. unaind
word, be calm, in the hot moment of
anger, to do without weariness, and to
suffer without murmuring, to be char -
noble itt judgment and trample out of
the heart the Pharisee spirit, aeeining
life at once too skeet Rua too costly for
quarrele and for pride; to maintain a
chivalrous honor in all bueiness vela -
tions; to the holdback from the temp-
tations of doubting or hasty gain; to
wear "the white flower," not "of a
blameless life" only, but of 'a life
cleansed from its earthliness and made
pure by the Holy Spirit; to walk about
the world and before men 'with a calm
heart filled with love; to shed abroad
the "sweet savor of Christ," end al-
lure men to the. heavemi to which they
know you to be travelling—these are
but many-sided exhibitiops of the one

thousands of yearS. I see the make of
their wisdom, power and, presence. They

dling bands, they form the habits, they
train men, heroes, prophets, relent. All
these are servants for me. We meet at

This love stands erect in the divinely
built form, for man is the perfection of
creation.
I bathe in the bliss, ley vision grows,
my wonder is fed, I am huMbled by ray
enlargement. 1 atudy, I ponder, I ask
many questions. Was my visit antici-
pated, the emptiness made baret Was
that warm face blenched for iny coming?
Did I receive, did I impart joy? Yea,

THR SIN OF POSTPONMENT.
Deferred duties usually mean neglect-
ed duties. Itt this field, accumulation is
the enemy of accomplishment. Accu-
mulated dividends may be a very good
thing, but they are Over eatned by al-
lowing unfinished tasks to pile up on
us. When we have to admit that there
are a score of duties that have been
awaiting our attention for days or
weeks, or montbs, and that ought to
have had our attention long ago, we
may at the same time safely admit that
something is wrong with our plan of
life. The whole trouble probably lies in
our not doing to -day what wo ought to
do to -day; and that results from two
sins; misusing some of our time, and
westing some of our time. The right
selectioit of our tasks, and then intense
concentration on aur tasks, will put a
stop to the fatal accumulation. No one
has any right tit stagget along under
the burden* of unfinished twins that
ought long ago to have been put out of
the way.
MAKING lattltDSHIP EASY.
Difficulties find their being more in
our way of looking at things than in
actual feets. Several members of a cer-
tain family found it extremely difficult
to get to breakfast early enough to
have family prayers afterward, before
septvating for the day. One morning
the head of the house quietly get the
clocks twenty minutes fast, and &tiled
the others at what seemed to be the ac-
customed time. They were, as tested,
fifteen minutes or so later in dressing
and breakfasting than they needed to
be, but were quite surprised to find,
after breakfast was over, that they still
had time enough for prayers—when the
eloeks were Set tight—itud nobody was
a bit the worse for it—as to bis late;
the only difference was in their wee+ of
looking at the tlihnt. We mind fool
ourselves into duty -doing as they were
foolea into it; but we can senaibat re -
eternize that the ebief difficulty in duty.
doing is of our own imagining, arta then
go Meld awl ao what we ought to do.
