In autumn he proceeded up the country (to Ring- / ng near to the house, some of the servants ran beforehand to the house, and into the room. Olaf's mother, Aasta, was sitting in the 'room, and around her some of her might soon be expected, Aasta stood up directly, and ordered the men and girls to put everything in the best out all that bel d to the d was doing at hom: in the house.

Messengers went to seek King Sig- urd wherever he might be, and br ught to him nis dress-clothes, and his horse with gilt saddle, aud his bridle which was gilt and set with precio:s stones. - Four men she sent off to the four quarters of the country, to invite all the great people to a feast, which she prepared as a rejoic- ing for her son's return.

Some were then shearing corn, some bound it tdgetl.er, some drove it to the build- ine, some unloaded it and put it in k or barn; but the king, and twe men with him, 'went sometimes into tha field, sometimes to the place where the corn was put into the barn, His dress, it is told, was this:--he had a lue kirtle and blue lose; shoes which were laced about the legs; a grey cloak, and a grey wide-brimmed hat; a veil before his face; a staff in his hand with a gilt-si'ver head on it, and a silver ring arouna it. 'Of Sigurd's ¢ and disposition it is related that te was a very gain-making man, who attended carefully to his cattle and husbandry, and managed his hoase- keeping himself. He was no wise given to pomp, and was rather taci- turn. But he was a man of the bes: understanding in Norway, and also excessively wealthy in movable pro- perty. Peaceful he was, and no wise haughty. His wife Aasta was genei- ous and high-minded. . . . He sat down and made them take off his shoes, and put corduvan boots on, to which he bouu i his gold spurs. Then he put off his cloak and coat, and dressed himself in his finest clothes, with a scarlet cloak over gli; girded on his sword, set a gilded "el- met upon his head, and mounted iis horse. He gent his laboring people out to the neighborhood, and gathered to him thirty well-clothed men, and yode home with them. As they rode up to the house, and were near the hoom, they saw on the other side of the house the banners of Olaf coming waving; and.the:e was he himself, with about one hundred men all well equipped. People were gathered over all upon the housetops. King Sigurd immediately saluted his stepson from horse-hack in a friendly way, and invited him and his men to tome in and drink a cup with him. Aasta, on the contrary, went up and kissed her son, and invited him to itay with her; and land, and people, and all the good ~he could do for him, stood at his service. King Olaf thank- +d her kindly for her invitation. Then she took him by the hand, and led him into the room to the high seat. King Sigurd got men to take charge cf their ¢lothes, and give their horses corn: and then he himself went to his high teat and the feast was made with the greatset splendor. a Czech Brides May Still Claim Legal Dowries from Fathers -Prague..--The Commission for form of the Clvil Law has decided not to abolish the dowry system, by whicha bride can legally demand a there is still one prof, fon for the Jr ou 1 that is by no means crowded. ] oma Hat 0 D7 20 Seta Swied. t-| ten teacher in the country.

Two important sentences have been pronounced by German courts recent- ly for violation of traffic rules. In one case, a pedestrian was sentenced to imprisonment because he had disre- garded the stop-light of a traffic sig- nal, which neglect led to a serious con- sequence. In another instance the driver of a car was punished because he had not looked into the little mir- ror fixed to his windshield and thus failed to see a car coming up from behind, ,The Berlin post owns 1,000 mail- delivery cars.

He predicted the new boat would be capable of 120 miles an hour, "maybe more." This announcement was in answer to the news that Lord Wakefield, British sportsman, has decided to build a new Miss England III, to chal- lenge for the trophy. Miss England 11, piloted by Kaye Don, cracked up in the Detroit River in the last races. Don again will drive Lord Wakefield's boat, Wood's new boat will use the same twin engines that were in the Miss America IX when Wood recent- ly attacked the world water record on Indian Creek in Florida. The craft, itself, will be several feet long er but of the same design as the other Miss Americas, Berlin Post-Office Offers Language Service Berlin--It is not generally known that at one of the largest post offices in the city of Berlin there is an in- formation bureau where clerks may be consulted upon business matters in almost any known language.

Those speak- ing Japanese and Chinese have qtudied at the Berlin Oriental Semi- nary. The solitary exception ap- pears to be Yiddish, but when in- formation in that tongue is required a rabbi of the near-by synagogue is consulted. Even the foreign con- sulates frequently come with requests to this bureau. Business men from other countries, spending a short time in Berlin, find it of inestimable advantage. -- Piccadilly © Circus o Be Floodlighted elas Circus, termed "the hub of the universe" by London- ers, is to blaze with new lights.

The expedition also discovered that not only were the forests of the re- gions visited composed of primitive types of trees, but animals, too, were primitive types in comparison to those now found in North America. In de- tail the living forest bearing the clos- est resemblance to the Eocene forests | of western America was found to be zuelan Andes, southeast of Lake Mara- caibo. A close resemblance was also noted between the ancient forests of California and the living lowland for- | ests of the Pasife s slopes of Panama. Tar Sand 1 Deposits Ottawa Mr. A, U. G.
