The Armies of Sweden and Norwau

Every Norwe<];an Between the Ages of Eight­

een and FKty Is a Soldier -- Sweden

Has Greater Population--Naval

Strength of the Two

Countries.

AFTER nearly a century of union Sweden and Norway have mob­ilized their respective armies,

dispatched large bodies of troops to the frontier, entered tlie crews of their warships to be on the alert and made every preparation for posslbile hostili­ties. Since the storthing of Norway recently declared for Norwegian inde­pendence because of King Oscar's re­fusal to permit Norway to have sepa­rate consular officers abroad Swodti has given indications of a possible in tention to frustrate Norwegian imk pendence, even if war be neeessaij In virility, pluck and valor the two nations are well matched, but Sweden has the larger navy and more than twice as great a population as Nor­way. According to the census of UK)4 Sweden has 5,221,291 people, as against Norway's 2,292,530. The Swedish army consists of about 45,000 men, while Norway Is credited with 77,000, includ hag the reservists of the lundstorm, who may be called upon for home de­fense until they are fifty years of age

In Norway every man between the ages of eighteen and fifty, if physically able to do so, must rally to the defense of tiae fatherland. The ablebodied re cruit begins soldiering at twenty-two in the line or active army and serves six years. He is next transferred to the landvarn for six y^ars more, then he enters the landstorm for four "^ears, After which he may be called out until

.he is a veteran of fifty. An infantry recruit receives forty-eight days of training when he enters the army, and 102 days are devoted to the making of • cavalryman, after which the drill Is periodical. There are 5,150 officers and men in the navy, which consists of eight Ironclads and coast defense •hips, three cruisers, eleven gunboats «nd thirty-three torpedo vessels.

The scenery of Norway is plctur-•sque and beautiful. There are lofty, •Stow capped mountains, with narrow

President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California, whose ar­raignment of the idle rich in a corn-meneernent address at Dartmouth col­lege has caused such widespread com­ment, is a conspicuous exponent of the new system of American education. Primarily an authority upon the lan­guage and customs of ancient Oreece, he is the antithesis of the dry as dust professor. Inspired by the spirit of the Olympic heroes, he is a sport in the best sense of that unhappy word, an advocate of pure college athletics and himself no mean performer with the oar, the bat and the pigskin. As pro­fessor of (ireek at Cornell university, Which position lie left In 181)9 to take tile presidency of the California insti­tution, he was the head of the faculty

committee on athletics, and to him, Cor­nell owes much of her reputation in the field of physical prowess. He was one of the judges of the Olympian games at Athens In 1807. Often re­ferred to as a "Gibson man," Presi­dent Wheeler's motto is the Hellenic one, "A sound mind in a sound body."

"A man lives abundantly," he de­clared at Dartmouth, "according as be opens his life to the opportunities of the world he lives in, both to be and to do." President Wheeler has so livedo Eminent as an author, historian and philosopher, his capacity for public service Is so well recognized that on the retirement of Andrew D. White as ambassador to Germany he was gen­erally regarded as his probable succes­sor. President Wheeler is a compara­tively young man, born in 1854. He wa i graduated from Brown university In 1878 and later from Heidelberg, having received eince then degrees from nearly all the large American universities. He was married In 1881 to Amey Webb of Providence, R. I.

valleys between; mighty glaciers, at­tractive lakes and dense forests. So many of the tablelands are barren that o«t one-thirtieth of Norway is under cultivation, and agriculture does not furnish enough food for home con­sumption, a fact that may trouble Nor­way a great deal, for Rabelais describ­ed corn as the "sinews of war." The picture shows Norwegian farmers dig­ging a road through a July snowdrift In Dyreskard pass, which is only 3,715 feet above the sea. •

The army of Sweden is raised, in three ways—by voluntary enlistment, by "a partial conscription and by the leYies of large landed proprietors, who, following an old feudal custom, furnish and maintain soldiers in lieu of paying certain taxes. These methods are un­satisfactory, and the system is to be replaced by universal compulsory serv­ice, the first stages of which are to be completed In 1907. The army as at present constituted, consisting of 2,700 officers and 43,000 men, may easily be largely Increased in numbers.

The finest ship in the Swedish navy Is the coast defense battleship Oscar II., which has a displacement about one-fourth that of the new monster bat­tleships Japan Is building in England. A dosen coast defense battleships of the Aran, Dristlgheten and Gota types are respectively of 3,650, 3,450 and 8,300 tons displacement. As John Ericsson, Inventor of the monitor, was a native of Sweden, this type of ^war­ship is well represented. Of the thir­teen iron monitors four are of about 1,500 tons displacement, seven are of 460 tons and two are even smaller. Most of them were constructed shortly after the American civil war. when the Monitor and Merrimae had revo­lutionized naval warfare, and all have been rebuilt. Euch monitor hufc but one turret, which in a number of ships has been changed to » barbette. One of the most formidable vessels Is the armored cruiser Fylgla.

Three cruisers, .forly-two torpedo boats and destroyers, a dozen gunboats and one submarine complete the list of available ships.

Mrs. Reagan's Long Search'for Relief From Distressing Experiences

Caused by Overwork at Last Succeeds.

"Before I began to take Dr. Wil­l i a m s ' Pink Pills," said Mrs. Reagan, i recently, "I was in and out of bed all , the time, but now I stay tip all day and (work." | " W h a t was the cause of your trouble:" she was asked.

i "I was badly run down from over-jwork. One day noises began In my , head and almost made me crazy. My head felt as if a tight band had been

I put around it, and the pressure and .the sounds made me so uneasy-that ' I •often had to walk the floor all night • when I ought to have been sleeping."

"Did you have a doctor:" "Yes, I was under the care of a phy­

s ic ian for some t ime, but I finally gave . him up because his treatment did me no good. -

j "My stomach was in bad shape, and I had smothering sensations. At such

jtimes my body seemed bloodless, my I hands were like chalk and my face turned yeljow. The doctor said I had

I dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my nerve* gave way and I was com­

ple te ly prostrated. At night I could not sleep, and in the daytime if I bent

• over to pick up a rug the smothering sensation would eome on at once."

j "How did you find a remedy?" | "After I had used many advertised i medicines, we read in the paper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-

i pie, and my husband bought a box and 'insisted that I should take them. ! "The first box I used quieted my j nerves so that T could get a good night's sleep, which was a new ex-

', perlence for me. Before I began to \ \ise them I was a nervous wreck and trembled at the slightest sound. I was so wreak that I had to sit down and rest every few steps when I went up

[ stairs. Now I can run up a whole flight, at once. The smothering sensa­tions have gone and the noises in my head have stopped entirely. My ap-

, pea ranee has greatly improved, for friends who were alarmed OH my ac­count before, now say. "How well you

; are looking!" My husband spent over | a hundred dollars on treatment, for me Ihaf was worthless, hut a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought me sound, health."

Mrs. Mary lloagan liven at Si? Kil-burn street, Fall River, Mass.. where Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills are a favorite remedy. These pills are guaranteed to be free from stimulating or harm­ful drugs of any description and may be taken without, fear of injury to the most, delicate system. They quickly cure nervous disorders of every kind. chock wasting diseases and build up strength. They are sold by aril drug­gists.

Wakeful? Sleep le s sness Is a Sign of Nerve Trou­

ble and Should Be Looked To.

Triers are three different manifesta­tions of sleeplessness.

First, hardly to sleep a -wink all night, second, to lie awake a long time before falling asleep; third, to fall asleep soon, •waking up after several hours and then find It hard to sleep again.

They mean that somewhere In the nerve fibres, somewhere in the brain cells, somewhere In the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain, something Is radically wrong, and must be righted, or the end may be worse than death.

To right it, take Dr. Miles' Nervine. Borne other symptoms of nerve trou­

ble are: Dizziness, Headache, Back­ache, Worry, Fretfulness, Irritability, Melancholy, Lack of Ambition.

They indicate diseases which may lead to Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dnnoe, Nervous Prostration, Paralysis, Insanity.

Nothing will give sucb quick and last­ing relief as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
