their own Observation-Disclosures under
whose wall Ruth lived and loved, and
made poem of herself the home of
David and Joab, and Asahel and

Rehoboam and restored by Justinian,
and has again and again fought and bled
and died, as most OF the towns on this

Ddfy-do,rn-diIIy's Hat.


Miss Dafy-down-dilly has come a visit,
In her green poonaise and yellow silk hat.
; She's slim the trirnniest lady of fashion,
Neither pannier pouf and the trimmings all
fat .lAllE
But the yellow silk hat that's the crown Of her
tulne-sa
When you once have seen that, you won't think of
her dress
And where in the world she ever has bought it,
IN warrant that yor never-no, never can guess
For I've heard that she made it herself out of
shine,
With pfpings and trimmings of yellowTest gold,
And really believe it watching, wonder,
While the wondering quillings and fittings un-
fold.
She must have been weaving it all the long winter,
In her dark little chamber hidden away,
And had it all ready, through snow-storms and
freezings,
- To start on her journey the first sunny day.
And now that robbins are piping their nest songs,
And violets dotting the meadows with blue,
Miss Dafy-down-1illy has come to my garden
To make short stay. Is she visiting you?

assumed her part in the reception with
chldlike grace. Her dress of white
muslin was simple, with sash of pale
pink ribbon and pink boots, and her
short hair was brushed back from an in
telligent, bright face. After the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hayes had ended the re-
ception, she sat at the grand piano in the
Red room, and, taking off her tiny white
gloves, sang to small audience funny
little rhyme, which I was to remember
for my little girl at home" AS my
little girl is the worlds, I told her she
should learn it. And this is the nursery
ditty which the little pet of the White
House sang, and I iotted down for my
little pets of other homes:
once there was little kitty,
Whittier than snow;
In the barn she used to froiic,
long time ago.
And there was little mousey
Running to and fro
And the kitty spied that Inousey,
A long time ago.
| Two black eyes had little kitty,
Black a sloe;
And they spied that little mousey
long time ago.
Two soft paws had little kitty,
Softer than dough;
And they caught that little nousey,
| A long time ago.
Nine sharp teeth had little kitty,
| All in a row;
And they bit that little mousey,
| long time ago.
When the teeth bit little mousey,
| The little mouse said, "Oh!"
| But she got away from kitty,
| long time ago.

Education in Holland,

The population of Holland numbered

of whom /, 1884, Alt are males, as against
1873, 529 in 1869, the increase, there
fore, being 229, 1913 in the interval of
seven years. In 1870 the number of
births was 1876, 124, rising gradually to
LA, 191 in 1876, while the number of
deaths declined from ia, 234 in 1871 to
96,676 in 1874. but increased again to
1O4, 479 in 1875. simultaneously with
this return, the Dutch Minister of Pub
lie Instruction has published some edu-
catio2al statistics for 1875, from which
it appears that there were 2,689 primary
schools, of which 499 are schools of a
higher degree, being an increase of %
over the preceding year. There are, in
addition, 1876 private schools in receipt
of subsidy, and 994 which do not re-
ceive any assistance from the state, $50
of which give education of higher de-
gree. Altogether Holland has 1917
schools, or 33 moresthan in 1874, and of
these l, 174 are schools of a higher de-
gree. The staff of teachers consisted in

At Russian hotel you are obliged to
sSipulate for bed-linen, pillows, blankets
and towels, or else you pay extra for
them, as the landlord assumes that you
carry these articles with you. This has
been the custom cf the country from
time inhmemorial, and has produced
among certain Russians acurious kind OF
fastidiousness. They strongly dislike
using sheets, blankets and towels, which
are in certain sense public property,
just as we should object to putting on
clothes which have already been worn
by other people.
