Our Cow.

It Is said that one thing brings on
another; the events often following each
other in rapid succession, and the hap
penings in our domestic kingdom have
verified the saving: First there was
the advent of one Of the cutest, smart
est and best looking boys that ever oc-
cupied the position OF iirSt-born in any
household. Now | don't say this be-
cause it was our boy. Not at all;
others have said the same thing under
similar circumstances, but because the
nurse said So his grandmother said so,
our next door neighbor, who came in
to take a look at the little stranger,
said so, and young man, who has an
application in as bookkeeper for our
firm, said his mother said that it was
the loveliest and sweetest child she had
ever seen, and all of our acquaintances,
who placed any value upon our friend
ship and good will, said it was re-
markable child. Even our minister.
who is undoubtedly man o. SUP erior
sagacity and fores ght, declared that,
with proper training, and systematic
course of mental and moral culture, he
was most assuredly destined to grace
the pulpit, or the bar. That settled it;
and we want it thoroughly understood

Now it may be that drums, rattles.
VIII stiles, rubber dogs, etc, are good
enough rs p.ay-things, but there seemed
to be an aching void in the little fellow
that plav-thngs could not fill. How
ever, by dnt Of patient thought, inves-
tigation and consultation OF authorities,
we were ii last enabled to solve the
void problem; that boy wanted cow,
and a COW he must have. Ills grand
father had to be consulted right away,
for he is an authority on cows, he knows
cow from hoof to horn. and from
muzzle to switch. But then we knew
something about COWS, too, although
not so much as we do now. | had seen
a good many COWS, and my wlIe had
stood guard while her mother MIXED
COW, and they had triumphantly marched
into the hou e with fully one-third OF
the milk; and now we are g ing to show
the old folks that we could manage a
COW as well as the veterans. Well, the
cow came in the absence of grandpa,
the aforesaid authority, and must be
MIXED. Armed with mik-pail and q
bucket of bran, we commenced opera

baby. We performed the feat OF get

and cautiously approached Bossy. keep

Dutch Costumes.

There is not much to see in the way
of costume in the large Dutch cities.
ANY part of London or Paris would show
as great variety. In fact, | should be
inclined to back a London 'Blue-coat
School boy against anything in Hol-
land, as not only being more downright
picturesque, but also more historically
correct and interesting to student
of costume. He means something. L do
wish, however that the Biue-coat boy
himself could only know how well the
real cap of the period would 90 with
the rest of the dress, and wear it
bravely. No, he would rather 90 bare
headed all his days, in the widest
weather. than stand the street gamin
comparing his head-gear to Il ''mufin.
His patron Edward VI. wore one of the
same shape But what would the Lon
don street boy say to the custom OF
half-orphan schools of Amsterdam
Some sad humorist of philanthropic
turn, in years gone by, thought it a neat
idea to make the children OF the school
dress forever after i'll a party-colored
dress of black and red. | have no
doubt that he saw in it some fitting re-
minder of their half-orphaned condition
if they were grotesquely pied up ana
down with these two striking contrasts.
The ''Aan Spraaker' is also, to the
innocent stranger more of an object of
amusement than his grewsome and Sc
rious office intende him for. He is a
quick-moging individual. rushing from
house to house. bearing tidings of
deaths and births. He is clad in black
cloth citizens costume of the last centu-
