1895

"Lyresby was telling me that he had a dream that an angel appeared and told him that he would go straight to heaven when he died. Now, what do you think of that?"
"Oh, that's just like him. He couldn't even dream the truth." — Indianapolis Journal.


Swedish Bread

The common bread of Sweden is a rye cake about the size of a batter cake and with a hole in the middle. These cakes are baked twice a year, and after baking are hung up to dry. They are said to be nourishing and are about as easy to chew as disks of mortar.

Sweden and England Exchange Sharp Notes

1916

London, Sept. 10. — There has been a further, and rather sharp exchange of notes between Great Britain and Sweden regarding the difficulties brought about by the allied blockade and Sweden's retaliatory seizure of mails in transit between England and Russia. No solution of the problem is in sight. The British foreign secretary, Viscount Grey, insists that as a condition to submitting the matter to arbitration Sweden must promise not to interfere again with English parcels post matter in transit across Sweden. The Swedish government apparently is determined not to make such an engagement.
