, Sweden and Norway have achieved
them—Sweden and Norway that ten
years ago had the name of being the
' moat drunken countries in the world.
, Now they are models of sobriety com-
pared to even the United States.
The change has been wrought by the
new liquor law under which ‘a city gov-
“ mall! takes charge of the sale of in-
“ indenting drinks. In Sweden “no man
can make ascent” from liquor selling.
The city government buys at wholesale
liquors of guaranteed purity, designates
the places at which they shall be sold
’v‘ andthehours, and then putsamanin
‘ clings on a‘salary. The less whisky
' the man sells the more successful he is
considered to be as a business man.
,; fie must be one of the most reputable
. citisene of the town, or he will not be
permitted to have charge of a saloon.
' Theealoon itself is a plain, four wall-
ed room. No pictures decorate it; no
warm stove sends out genial comfort.
There is not even a chair tosit down
in. A man may buy whisky by the
~ think. He drinks it and is sent ofl
about his business. He may not have
drink of spirits under three
hours. The liquor shops are not opened
‘ one o’clock in the morning. They are
clued at the noon hour and closed at

summer. On pay days the saloons are
shut before the workmen get money.
and the day before a holiday they close
‘at noon The result is that drunkenness
in Sweden and Norway is decreasing
perceptibly and steadily.
The lloohdale Jubilee.
Fifty years ago, in December. 1844.
98 English weavers met in the town of
Rwhdale and resolved to club their lit-
thspare n‘toney together aml buy a lot
of groceries wholesale. Their combined
fund amounted to $140. With this they
laid in supplies by the barrel of sugar.
flour, oatmeal and butter. They brought
their barrels to a room and sold the
contents to themselves at retail. Each
paid cash as he went and bought the
goods at the current retail price of the
neighborhood. They had not expected
to make any profit. They had hoped
simply to get a better quality of goods.
with better Weight and measure.
This was the beginning of the great
Boehdale ctr-operative store system,
which has revolutionized much of the
, trade of Great Britain among the better
class of working people. Whenthe hon-
‘ It factory weavers came to cost up ac-
counts, they found there was a hand-
" sane profit for themselves from the re-
tail price the goods had brought.
At Iteehdale is celebrated this Decem-
ber the jubilee of the co-owrative store
system. It is managed still on lines
limliar to those laid down in the begin-
ning by the 28 weavers.
Any one who pays an initiation fee
of .6 may become a member and share
in the profits. But now co-eperative
Moe have sprung up all over Great
Britain. The cooperative stores have
[membership of 1.800, 000, and their
mat is not less than seo,ooo.ooo.
There is a great wholesale cooperative
society too.

they can read your thoughts as soon as
they'are formed in your mind. To be
sure, one cannot help wondering. if such
glorious boinga existtin Tibet and In-

unreasonable to expect civilized people
and mabatmas both to live in one oouni

In his travels in Tibet. Dr. Henseldi
alleges himself to have visited the Da-
lai Lama. who is the supposed reincar-
nation of Buddha. He is a child of 12
years, who concentrates in himself all
the wisdom of the ages. according to
Henscldt. His countenance is glorious
to look upon, albeit singularly melan-
choly, became Dal is always brooding
over the sins of the world, as well he
might be. Hensoldt further represents
the lemon or priests at the menasteriee
'0! Tibet as being learned, benevolent
gentlemen who work for their living,
and work hard.
A year or two ago an Englishman,
after unutterable hardship, penetrated
into Tibet. He did not look at things
through the cultivated esoteric imagi-
nation, but just through plain, blunt
British eyes. He finds the roving no-
mads of Tibet to be the most dishon-
est. treacherous and shiftless oi! human
beings. They will rob you as quick as
look at you and have not the meet dis-
tant conception that a premise is any-
thing to be kept. a .
The priests or lamas. whom Henseldt
ffound to be so industrious and frugal,
"the British traveler finds to be rich and
arrogant. All the wealth there is in the
country they have got hold of. and they
practice on the ignorance and supersti-
tion of the wretched inhabitants to for
ward their own very material interests
constantly. Finally the Dalai Lama is
18 years old, the Englishman says,
and he does not consider him anything
extraordinary at all. '
Sunday Newspapers.
Richard H. Dana made some very
sweeping charges against the Sunday
newnpupcrs in an address delivered at
the Episcopal church congress in Bos-
ton. Mr. Dana declared that the tone
of the present Sunday newspaper is low‘
eriag instead of elevating and that ev-
ery foreigner who comes to this coun-
try observes thc fact. The distinguish-
ed crator has lived long enough in the
classic shadow of Harvard college to
know better than to use language in
that loose and sloppy way. 0f the for-
eigners who come to America not out
in 50 reads our English Spnday paper!-
at all. Of those who do read a Sunday
paper not one 'in 500 has cultivation
enough to discern whether it is lower»
ing or elevating. They do not know or
care anything about it. Mr. Dana should
keep truth on his side. at least as near-
ly as he can.
It is true the Sunday papers might
be improved. The orator is right
when he says the pictures in them are
crude, bad and inartistio. The basic in
which newspapers must be printed has
much to do with that. Still no doubt
newspaper illustrations ought to be
greatly improved. But when Mr. Dunn
howls about the scandals and crimes
that appear in the papers thershe runs
against something over pvhloh the wt
tor of the Sunday journal has no con-
trol. The editor gives his readers just
what they want and pay for. Reform-
ers should labor with the reader. not
with the editor.
It is interesting to find from Mr. Da~
na’s researches that one of the large
Sunday papers contains contained
enough matter. apart from advertise-
ments, to require four days of seven
hours each to read through. It has hall
asmnch again reading matter astht
