The Drumming-Out of the Stock Ex-
change, Amsterdam.

During one week i'm every year the Stock
Exchange OF Amsterdam is-after business
hours-handed over to the school-children
Of the town, who are permitted to invade
its sacred precincts and to romp and make
as much noise therein as they please. The
amount Of noise they please to make may
he easily conceived from the fact that
every child entering the building
has TO bring with him, or her,
ticket of admission in the shape OF
a child's toy drum. To the tourist,
anxious to inspect this famous piece Of ar
chitecture, il is an amusing and somewhat
bewildering scene TO find this temple OF
Mammon thus handed over 10 troops of
faXen haired children drumming with all
their might and man; the knowledge that
they are within their rights-rights solemn
ly granted and decreed by the burgomaster
aud town council-seeming to lend energy
and rapidity OF movement to the drum
sticks.
| The origin of the custom appears to have
been as follows: Rather more than Gen.
tury ago some evil-dIspOsed persons con.
ceived plot for blowing up The city Of
Amsterdam, and dynamite not having then
been thought of they proposed to employ
gilnpowder for their purpose. The Stock
Exchange of Amsterdam stands IN the
centre OF the town, on the bank of one OF
the innumerable canals which intersect il !;
and barge laden with barrels OF the dan
gerous explosive, being taken up the canal.
was mOored opposite 10 the Exchange.
The moment prearranged for the
explosion was at hand, when a
sehoolboy, playing about in the neigh
borhood, allowed his bali TO fall
into the canal, and on going down TO
The water after his plaything the powder.
barrels caught his eye, perhaps also other
circumstances reused his suspicious. At
any rate, he tried TO get some Of the by-
ISLANDERS TO listen 10 what he had seen hut
In vain-every one was too intent on bust
ness to pay any attention TO him. How
ever, the little fellow was determined 10
make his discovery known, so borrowings
drum from one Of his play-fellOws he
marched into the hall OF the Exchange and
there proclaimed the danger which threat
ened the building, and indeed the whole
CITY, by beat OF drum. His object was
now gained. Some OF those present fol-
lowed The boy down To the canal, where
Ms tale was found to be true, and the
powder was removed TO place of safety.
In gratitude for timely warning, given
py schoolboy, the burgomaster and
town councillors OF Amsterdam decreed
mat Tor one week In every year the school
children OF the city should have the right
OF entering the Exchange building-after
business hours-drumming and romping
there TO their hearts content, which Gus. |
tom has been handed down to the present
day, and b termed "the drumming out of |

The greatest force OF the late gigantic
eruption in Java seems to have been at the
western end, where Bantam, the Dutch
capital, Is situated. But the activity Of the
underworld force was not confined to one
part Of the island. About the middle OF
the island, but not given on ordinary maps,
there is group OF very remarkable old
temples. Their position may be roughly
understood by a reference TO any map OF
Java, by drawing line south Of samaraDg
to the other coast, where river will
be found called the Pr0go, and on the
east OF il there Is town which
has variety OF spellings, but 1t may
be written Diockiakarta--the Dutch call it
"Jockio this place is also mentioned as
having suffered seriously. About thirty
live miles from Djockiakarta is the great
Temple OF BOro Buddor; also called B0ro
Bodo aud Boer Buddha. The dome Of
this monument Is stated to have been
crushed in by falling rocks. The temple
does not stand on the side OF mountain,
but on the top OF q hill, so IL could not have
resulted from masses OF rock rolling down
upon IT. The destruction must be as
cribed 10 huge fragments having been
thrown into the mir and then descending
with terrific force.

A Grand Monument.

John Jones began at the age Of fif-
teen to bu Id monument and finished
it at fifty. He worked night and day,
often all night long. and on the Sab
bath He seemed to be in a great hur-
~ to get it done. He spent all the
money he earned upon it--some say
$4,000 Then he borrowed all be
could; and when no one would loan
him any more he would take his wife's
dres -es and the bed-clothes and many
other valuable things in his home and
sell them to get more money to hnish
I that monument.

was about IT, take the b ankets that lay
o. er hs sleeping baby TO keep it warm.
aad his wi C tried to stop him; but he
drew back his fist and knocked her
down. and then went away with the
blankets and never brought them back,
and the poor baby sickened and died
from the exposure. At last there was
not anything left in the house. The
oor, heart broken wife. soon followed
the baby 10 the Craze. Yet John Jones
kept working all the more at the monu-

Why Not!

A tired mother who had been zoe
cupied all day with al active and very
troublesome coy, as she sat down in the
evening and thought of the numberless
details into which her strength had
gone sa' d: s'Aiterp all, it is day
toward the making of man. There
was a world of truth in this brief and
pointed summing up of a days work.
Nothing is so hard to overcome as the
illusion OF time and distance; thousands
of lives are wasted because they are
never freed from lit, and thousands of
other : and faithful YES, are sad
dened because they, too, are under its
spell. The woman under the pressure
of daily and nightly cares who feels no
inspiration from them. but continually
dreams OF greater services and nobler
occupations in some other pla 9 and at
some other time, is surely missing
the secret, of the deepest liv-
ing, and is 'thirst'ng with the
water of life flowing freshingly about
her The man who ,ehafes under his
present burden, and scorns his place
and work as.small aud mean compared
with the thing he would do. is evey day
