Winter Life in Holland,

In Holland the fun of Winter life takes
many forms; and Winter facilitates To-
comotion, as the highways of Summer
available for trek-schuits become the
best thoroughfares for those who skate.
In this way, directly the ice bears, visits
are made and distances travelled which
cannot be done in Summer. and, instead
of going round and.round as we do here
on small confined space, the Dutch
make up party and pay a visit to some
neighboring town or village. A bright
Winters morning is always exhilarat-
ing, especially to those whose red part
icles are doing their work satisfactorily;
how much more so when cheerful COM
pany, free exercise, variety of character,
and constant change of scene all tend
TO mark the day as a red-letter one; and
to crown all, comes the pleasant sensa-
ton of feeling deservedly tired. with a
nights rest well earned. Should the
frost be sufficiently severe, river is
most interesting, being on a large scale
and partaking more of the character of
a fair, which is the case, for instance, on
the Mas, at Rotterdam. This is very
well pictured in some of the old Dutch
enoTayings; one particularly gives an
admirable idea of the whole thing, show
ing sledges, iee-boats, stalls and booths.
Now, the freezing of the Mas is most
uncertain; while other waters are frozen
hard the Rotterdamers still remain
land-bound. The Mas runs very strong
", and the difficulty is for the first coat
ing of ice to form. When a severe frost
catches the still water during the night,
then ssonee begun, soon DONE" and the
crews, who turn their berths at night,
wake up in the morning to find them
selves frozen in. The canals naturally
soon freeze over, and the trek-schuit
traffic is supplanted by baggage-sledges,
large and small. Near dwelling houses
are seen the little .box-sledges for the
children. These are precisely the same
as the seventeenth century contrivances;
the child sits. with just room for its feet,
and, with stick In each hand, pushes
astern and propels itself ahead. The
adult sledges are in some cases simply
gorgeous, as tie opportunity affords
great latitude for form, great scope for
variety of gear, harness and trappings.
They are generally rather of the swan
outline, the s.sleighersa sitting in the
body, the driver perched at the back, as
on the tail, the sweeping irons following
the curve of the swan neck; over these
run the re1ns. One horse generally
constitutes the team, but in an old en-
craving three horses in single file are
shown drawing sledge de iare. Good
Words.

The Science of Cooking Beef.

A scientific writer in Mark Lane Ex-
press says: ''The flavor of the beef is
due to the juices, and if during cooking
these be allowed to escape the beef loses
much of its taste. Hence, in broiling,
it should from the outset be exposed to a
bright, quick fire, which, by causing the
superficial fbres to at once contract and
the albuminous juice near the surface
to coagulate, leads to the plugging up
of the surface pores, and consequent re-
tention of the juices. Similarly, in boil
ing, beef should be plunged into al
most boiling water. On the other hand,
in making beef tea, cold water is pour
ed on chopped beef and gradually heat
ed to draw the nutriment of the beet in-
to the water.

The Number of Workingmen.

The number of workmen employed
in iron and steel-making in the United
States in 1870 was 1855, whose wages
per year amounted to $40, 514.981. In
1880, according to census statistics, the
number of workmen employed in this
branch of manufacturing industry had
increased to lac, 97S, whose wages
amounted to S55, 476, 785 per year. The
capital invested in the business has near
" doubled since 1870, and the quantity
of iron and steel produced has doubled,
but it viii be observed that the average
yearly wages of employees has fallen
from 1922 per head in 1870 to S94 per
head in 1880.

A Valley of Roses.

The maritime vale of Santa Barbara,
for sixty miles facing Pacific Ocean, we
consider the most attractive in Califor-
MIA. The soil is extra deep, dark al
luvium. By the formation of the coast
it is sheltered from the rude trade
winds, elsewhere SO unpleasant on our
shores. San Francisco being in north
latitude 375 degrees, Santa Barbara is
343 degrees north-3 degrees south
wardly. Here flourish in luxuriance the
fig tree and the olive, the pr,lne and the
almond, the orange and the lemon. the
nectarine and the pomegranate. Here
grows Alfalfa clover, giving three cut
tings year and pasture through the
Winter. Here flowers bloom perennial.
Here only is paradise Of roses and 9TH
er fragrant flowers cultivated for COM
mercial perfumers. Here the bee past
ures all the year, the hivers gather hon.
ely every day, and abstaining them
selves, they give to man nearly their
whole production. Only in stress of
stormy weather they draw upon their
boarded sweets. Feathered songsters
never migrate from this elysium. Mans
dwelling is en1ivened by the chirp of
birds, and their music gives perpetual
cheer, unchecked by W inter frosts. Hap
py, thrice blessed, are they whose lot is
east where happiness is lightly wooed
and wont Here in mid December the
company's rosegardens are sight to
charm the eye. when day by day, chill
dren gather yer-blooming flowers for
extraction of perfume for the toilet. At
Kezanlik, IN the foothills of the Balkan
range, IN Roumclia, South Turkey,
north latitude 425 degrees, is avalley
devoted TO rose culture exclusively for
like purposes, but there the sale of nose
gays to many villages is extremely prof
liable. There. as here, the. hair and
clothes of all who work among the roses
retain the perfume for week OF abb

Dear friends, do you ever stand
in the doorway Of memory, when
the golden sun lights up the road
over which you have Travelled
through the dust and heat Of for
mcr years, and while you look over
the fields Of your great troubles,
and victories, and defeats, do you
ever wish yourself back again be-
yond the hour when FIRST ambition
flied your heart and made the
present seem distastcful, and poor,
and mean in your eyes? DO you
ever figure your gains and losses
and look with WEAKNESS and unrest
upon your achievements? Does it
not sometimes occur to YOU that
YOU have dcarIy bought your po-
sition and wealth?

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every pant
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quicl, way to drive
it out is TO purify and enrich the
blood. @ q
These simple facts are we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that noMiRg but
iron will restore the blood TO its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor,
oughly and quickly assimilate y III
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system. and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-.

Why Gencral Grant Paid Fare

William II. Lummis, one of the best
known conductors of the p, w. Il b. r. r.,
died at Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Friday
last. II is said of him that he never allowed
adead-head to ride. When General Grant
was president and just before Miss Nellie
Grants marriage with Mr.. Sartori.,
the presidents family and several
friends went TO New York on /.
shopping tour. Mrs. Grant headed the
party, and Miss Nellie was one of it. 1t so
happened that Lummis was the conductor
OF the limited express on which they took
passage; In the regular order OF collecting
tickets he reached them. Tickets" said
William, politely. I'VE have none" said
one OF the gentlemen. Pass" said vii.
liam, laconically. "Wehaven't that either"
said the gentleman with genial smile, and
We don't need it. This is President Grants
family" William stepped back few feet,
removed his cap and made profound bow.
II am very happy to make the scquain-
lance OF the presidents family" said he,
but the orders of thi, company are that oil
passengers must show pass, have ticket
or pay their fare" The gentleman who was
speaking for the presidents family argued
the matter for o time, but William was not
to be persuaded, and the presidential party
paid their fsres.-I Wilmington News
