SU6AR BEET INDUSTRY It Is Forging Ahead at a Rapid Rate in Sweden Over 90,000 Acres Planted Last Year and 35,000 People Employed in the Cultivation of the CropAdmission from a Leading Socialist Organ Which Explains a Whole Lot. SWEDEN.

There is an industry in Sweden which is forging ahead at a rapid rate and that is the sugar beet industry. Last year over 90,000 acres were planted to sugar beets, and the crop amounted to over $7,000,000. About 35,000 people were employed in the cultivation of the crop, and over $2,000,000 was paid out in wages. These facts were brought out In the riksdag when the Socialists introduced a bill to lower the tariff on sugar and raise the tax on its manufacture. The bill received slight consideration.

Here is an admission from one of the leading Swedish socialistic organs, which explains a whole lot: "The old courses on the socialistic bill of fare do not attract the new guests. We are particularly in need of something to offer small freeholders and farmers. We are still waiting for an agricultural program. Without something in this line it may be difficult, not vo say impossible, for the social democrats to gain ground among the agricultural population." C. J.

Johansson, a well known Stockholm missionary, celebrated his seventieth birthday the other day. During the three years that he has been conducting missionary work in the city he has been instrumental procuring meals for 100,000 persons at the city institutions of charity. He has visited 30,000 families, distributing clothes and food, and has during this time collected and given away 30,000 crowns to the poor and also distributed 2,000 Bibles. A banquet was tendered Directoi Arvid Akerland, of Brooklyn, N. who is at present on a visit to Stockholm, at Hotel Kronprinsen on the evening of April 21.

Consul Friberg was toastmaster and in his speech of welcome to the guest of honor he expressed the hope that Director Akerlind would soon visit Sweden with a Swedish-American male chorus and promised him that when they came to Sweden they would be given a royal reception. A monkey which is worth money is "Moritz," which has for some time been on exhibition at the Svea theater in Stockholm. She has during the past year netted her owner, Hagenbeck, the neat little sum of 80,000 crowns. This is certainly an instance where it pays to keep a monkey on exhibition. It must be the real thing, too, which is true in this case.

This month the famous American tenor, Ellison Van Hoose, will appear at the Royal Opera. He will sing Italian and will appear in "Romeo and Juliet," "Faust," "Traviata" and "Aida." He comes highly recommended and the Stockholm theater going public is greatly interested in comparing him with some of their own singers. Women bakers to the number of 200 went on strike in Stockholm May 1. What they want is an increase in wages and shorter hours. If their employers do not give them what they want it is understood that a general bakers' strike will be on in full force in Stockholm June 1.

"Figaro," the popular fun paper of Stockholm, has passed into the hands of Berje Israelsson. The paper will continue the same program as formerly and will practically remain under the same management, only that it will be conisderably expanded in size and contents. The riksdag did after all make an appropriation for the Emanuel Svedenborg sarcophogi to be placed in the Upsala cathedral. Prior to allowing this appropriation the matter occasioned a very spirited debate at several sessions of the riksdag. The Swedish edition of Dr.

Hedin new book regarding his recent travels and explorations in Asia, will be published in two volumes by the Albert Bonnier Publishing company, of Stockholm. The price will be 22 crowns per volume. The Strangnas cathedral will undergo a thorough restoration and the riksdag has for this purpose voted an appropriation of 70,000 crowns. The intention is to continue the restoration of the famous cathedral from year to year. One of the big walrusses in Skansen park cashed in his checks the other day.

He died from catarrh of the stomach in spite of the fact that he received the very best, of medical care. The oldest usher at the Royal palace, who has served under Karl XV. and Oscar Lars Larsson, died on April 13, aged seventy-six years. He leaves a wife and two daughters. Judging from all present indications Stockholm will secure the Olympic games in 1912.

Her strongest competitor is Berlin. There are over twenty-five applications for the secretaryship of the THE PBINCETON UNION: 20, 109. rlar- Swedish Tourist society, which came vacant a short time ago. There is a new Odd Fellows lodge which was organized in Stockholm April 15. It will be known as "Thoas Wildev." NORWAY.

There are already a large number of automobiles in Christiania, but it seems that this season the auto craze has taken a hold of the city in earnest. Five hundred new automobiles have been ordered from Paris and by the end of the season there will be at least 1,000 more autos coming to Christiania. One of the largest and finest machines in the city is the one owned by Mads Wiel, who recently purchased a 70 horsepower auto in Paris for 000 crowns. Auto trucks have also been introduced in the city, but they are operated with difficulty im many places owing to the many cobble stones on some of the principal streets. From Bergen comes the interesting report that Ex-Premier Michelsen will be a candidate for the storthing and thus re-enter public life again, from which he retired in the midst of such great festivities about two years ago.

With Michelsen entering the political arena again one can expect some interesting things to happen in Norway. He was during the union crisis the man of the hour and his determination to again serve in the storthing has aroused no end of interest in Norway. The following statement from Pro fessor Misvaer will surprise a great many people, but it is nevertheless true: "The annual income from fruit growing in Norway is not less than 10,000,000 crowns, and is rapidly grow- ing." He stated further that in his opinion it would be possible for Norway to compete quite successfully with Italy in the production of fruit, and advised that more attention be paid to this industry than has been the case in the past. A Norwegian paper states that many farms have been offered for sale to the Anti-Emigration society, but most of them are so large and expensive that they cannot be bought by poor people. The society finds that Norwegian-Americans who intend to buy farms in Norway wish properties of such small size that they can manage them without hired help.

If the plans of a Norwegian telegraph syndicate can be put in practice there will in the near future be wireless telegraphic communications between Norway and Spitzbergen. This would enable the newspapers to publish some pretty fresh news from that interesting part of the globe where so many north polar expeditions start from. A young Swedish socialist, Hjalmar Nilsson, was arrested April 29 in Christiania because of his sensational appearance on the street corners and stirring up the people by his frantic harangues. He was given his liberty after promising the police that he would report at police headquarters two times a day. Mr.

Frank Lloyd has donated 5,000 crowns for a home for consumptives in Ringerike and has promised to give more in the near future. This institution has been remembered very liberally during the past few months and soon it will be a well equipped institution. From Stavanger and vicinity comes the report that the spring this year is unusually late and spring work among the peasants has been receiving a setback. The weather has been raw and snow and rain have been the order for a number of weeks. Norway's first submarine boat, the "Germania," which has been under course of construction at Kiel, Germany, is now ready to launch and its trial trip will be made in the near future.

The brewery in Drammen known as "Wriedts Brygerri' was totally destroyed by fire the other day. More than 25,000 crowns' worth of malt became the prey of the flames. DENMARK. The formal opening of the Aarhus exposition will take place May 18, on which occasion King Frederick will deliver the introductory address. Many notable, members of the diplomatic corps and leading men in all walks of life from all parts of the country will be present.

The exposition will be an elaborate one and people from all parts of Europe and America will attend it. Danish actors and actresses are receiving handsome pay for their services these days. But it is not so very long ago that things were very much different in this respect. Now. however, their salaries are large enough for them to have not only enough to pay their expenses, but if they want to be real saving they could even lay some by, as they say.

The most enthusiastic autoist in the Danish royal family is Prince Christian, who has just received a twentytwo horsepower automobile as a gift from his father-in-law, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. The crown prince knows how to run his own machine, too, and that is something which all princes would not be able to do. Denmark's first woman lawyer will be Dr. Henny Petersen, who has completed a full course in law, earning the title of LL. D.

at the Copenhagen university. She has also been admitted to practice law and it ie her intention to open up a law office Copenhagen in the near future. The seventh annual general meeting of the National Educational association will be held at Aarhus, Aug. 4 and 5. In connection with the exnosition, and a very large attendance 3t teachers is expected.
