Cities of southern Sweden were
among the greatest commercial cen

Bflddle nges.
Stockholm and Lund
ranked with London and Purls, says
the Fam ily Herald.
They absorbed
the commerce of the northern seas
and were the admiration of thousands
of travelers and merchants who pnssed
through them und trafficked with them.
Later Sweden was the great military
power of northern Europe.
The embassadors of the Swedish
kings were received with the utmost
deference in every court.

There was s queer old custom In
England that compelled a person when
making a certain kind of tintement to
add; "Except the mayor.” Foote, the
comedian, having remarked at an Inn:
“I have dined as well as anyone In
England," the lundlord prompted him:
“ Except the mayor.’’ " I except no
body," said Foote boldly. For thia the
