LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
Where People Go to Bed iu Broad Tay
light A Cold Fourth of July, j
"I've been across the ocean more times
than I care to tell, and I know London
almost as well as I know Philadelphia,
but I have never been to northern Eu
rope before this summer, said ex-Attorney
General Brewster to a reporter. "I
left here on the 21st. I went up to Hull
on the 23d, and on the 24th I joined tho
sliip Angelo, and after a very smooth
and pleasant passage arrived at Chris-
tiansand in Norway, on the following
Sunday. It's a very interesting old
place. I went to church there. It's a
clean, nice stylo of Norwegian iown.
The people are very quiet, nicely be
haved, plain and simple. Monday was
passed in Christiania, a town or consia
erable importance. I staid there one
dav and then went by rail up to lnrona-
ieni. the old capital of Norway, which
at one time was the largest ana weaitni-
est town in Norway. It had at one
time many monasteries and churches.
"In Throndiem is the oldest cathedral
in all Norway. It was founded in 1016
by St. Olaf, and on the ground where
he was buried the present building was
erected in 1131 and completed in 1240,
and was enlarged in 1300. The cathe
dral is a very interesting work of gothic
architecture. It was damaged three or
four years ago by fire, and in rebuilding j
it -large walls were erected, wincn
hanged the architectural appearance of
the structure. It is now being restored i
with very much pains and care. There
was an annual fair being held in
Throndjem while I was there and it was
filled with specimens of farmers and
working people. It was held in an open
street. It was quite crowded and every
thing was orderly and quiet, and all of
the people appeared to be comfortable,
well-dressed, sturdy, vigorous, and sim
ple in their ways, and a very honest
people. Tho fair was held for business
and friendly intercourse. All the- time
I was in Norway I saw no dirty pov
erty, no beggars, no tramps or idle,
worthless people. The farms aU ap
peared to be thoroughly taken care of.
Everything around the house was kept
in good order. Fann3 were in perfect
condition. The houses were clean and
comfortable and small and unpretend
ing. The women are plain-looking but
very vigorous, and they are qyiet and
clean and mild in their ways. They
look as if they were exposed to hard
work, and they have a healthy, com
fortable, satisfied look. The men had a
sturdy, manly look. They look like
people who have no wealth and they
appeared to aU be on a social level.
There seemed to be no distinction be
tween them, but they had an air of in
dependence. I saw no drunken people
there and heard no noisy people... It is a
very peaceful place. Throndjem is built
of wooden houses, good broad streets,
well paved, and has plenty of good
shops. - .
"The Bun reaches, its uppermost point
on tho 21st of June. I got to Thorndjom
at' 7 o'clock in. the morning on the S9th
of June. There was no night. It was
broad daylight at midnight. There was
scarcely any darkness. The sun shone
night and day. The people went to bed
regularly at an early hour, with the sun
shining, and closed their 6hutters and
pulled down their curtains and slept, and
the town was as quiet as if the night was
totally dark. After leaving Throndjem
I took a ship named after some ancient
Norwegian king, and in company with
fifty or sixty other tourists, all people of
respectability and intelligence and men
from different nations. There were
twenty-two Americans; the rest were
natives of France, Spain, Germany,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Eng
land. "We went up tho coast to Troniso
and then to Hainmerfest, the most
northern town in the world. I saw the
high mountains and the whole of the
coast all the way up to the North cape,
tho extreme northern point of Europe.
"I arrived there on the 4th of July. It
was a cold, wet day. The climate, is
harsh, cold and wet, rainy and damp.
When it is not raining there is a heavy
mist. The North cape is on a point of
land at least 1,000 feet above the level of
the sea. When I was at the North cape
the sim was obscured with clouds. At
12 o'clock at night the sun was visible
for a time. Iu winter it is dark there
nearly all day, as well as at night. I
returned by the same towns, but through
different waterways. Tho whole of the
navigation was protected by land, there
fore tho sea was mild. We were sur
rounded by immense mountains, covered
with snow. On my return to Thrond

The Flavor of Slang.
Slang, like swearing, is a protest
against formalism, and a perpetual ef
fort after directness and vigor of speech.
But, after all, the flavor of slang is like
that of garlic or onions; a very little of
it goes a great way, and even that little
can be dispensed with if the cook
knows her business. Harper's Bazar.

Duty's Path.
The path of duty lies in what is near,
and men 6eek for it in what is remote;
the work of duty lies in what is easy,
and men seek for it in what is difficult.

Francis Drake, later Sir Francis
Drake entered the Pacific in 1578, -doubling
Cape Horn i'i search of Span
ish galleons and the imaginary strait .
of Aniyn. The costnographcrs of that
time believed that a passage between the
Pacitic and Atlantic existed in U13 far
north, "which, once found, would have
served the sair.s purpose that the Pan-,
ama canal is expected to do now. In
June 1579 the explorer was in tho
Noithern Pacific where ho became dis
couraged on account of tho extreme
cold and lcsolvcd to abandon further -search
for the strait. lie now con
cluded to return home by way of the
Cape of Good 1Iojk, thus wak
ing the first voyage round the world.
After anchoring in a bad bay, perhaps
in latitude 43, in southern Oregon, ho
ran down the coast to find a suitable
harbor for refitting and preparing the
Golden Hind for the homeward pas--sage.
What makes Diake's voyajro
apart from its general interest to all
the world, of cspeciil interest to our
coast, is that the looked for harbor
was found in-Oalifornia.
On the 17th of June, Drake found
a convenient and fit harbor where ho
beached his vessel and remained until
July 23id. In the mean time ho took
possession of the country in tho naraj
of the Queen of England. The natives
cheerfully agreeing and named it New
Albion from the similarity of aspect
between the banks and cliffs of that
part of the coast and those of England.
There is no part of earth hero to bo
taken up, where there is not some like
lihood of gold or silver repori the ex
plorers. Probably they saw particles
of liue gold glittering in the sun in
the patches of black sand on the beach.
To establish possessory rights it
seems Drake set . up a "monument"'
consisting of a strong post, nailed to '
which was a plate of brass, pugra-ved
with tho name of the queen, the date. '
of arrival of the expedition and tho
statement' ol tho free girjng op of.- ..
the proinca and kingdom, both Ly ,
the king and people Into her majesty's
hand. He also . affixed the queen's
"picture and arm" to t!" 5 to by tire
simple proccssoT cuttingvu ofe int"
and filling it with piece of sixpence J ,
of English money. At the foot of : :
the document was signed Drake's
name. England has never insisted
upon her rights secured by tho act
of Sir Francis Drake and thebrazer
document has long since disappeared.
How much the natives understood of
its purport is shown by the fact tha
during the presence of the explorers
they worshipped it as a god. , On July
23rd, Drake sailed away and found
next day some islands with many seals
and birds. Then the explorers saw
no more land until they had crossed
the Pacific. Tho actual locality of
Drake's anchorage - has remained a
matter of doubt to the presen day.
Of the expedition in question three !
narratives exist, the "famous voyage,"
the "world encompassed'' and the "dis
course." The latitude of the harbor is
stately bent aside from" the fact, that
determining latitudes was the weakest
point of the old navigators, the narra
tives themselves disagree.
Three- bays have been found to
amount to some extent the description
of the old chronicles, Rodega, Drake's !
and San Francisco. That the prepon- j
derance of opinion is in favor of tho !
second, is sufficiently indicated by is 1
name. This bay is almost exactly in
latitude 38, given by tho "World en
compassed." Rodega agrees with the
38.30 of the 'famous voyage, ' while
San Francisco more than either cor
rcsionds with the "convenient and fit
harbor." Herbert Howe Bancroft's
opinion, as laid down in his 'History
of Califo:nia,"is, that the gr-at free
booter did not enter the bay of San
Francisco and that Drake's Bay is the
most probable place of his anchorage.
For this version .speaks also, that the
explorers leaving the coast on a south
westerly course, found some islands
the next day which in this case would
be the Farallones. What may have
given rise to the belief that Drake en
tered the harbor of San Francisco, is a
circumstance very little known, namely .
that long before this bay "was discov
ered, the Spaniards had applied the
name of San Francisco to the bay un
der Point Reyes, which is the same a3
Drake's bay. Thus while the Span
iards were right in maintaining that
Drake anchoied in San Francisco Ray
meaning the only bay which then
boie that name the modern writers
are wrong m asserting the same pro
position, because now San Francisco
as the name of a bay is exclusively ap
plied to the bay within the Golden
Gate.
