Dutch Houses.

The foundation of building in Hol-
land is commenced by digging out the
earth to depth of two or three feet
The excavation thus made almost I'M
mediately fills with water, which IS
proof of the aqueous nature OF the
Dutch soil, and would present dreadful
visions of rheumatism and ague to the
minds of some Americans. Holland
ers have no such fears, and frequently
take up their residences in new house
as soon as the roof is on and the glass
in the wndow-fames, without
thought as to the dampness of floors and
walls. 1t has been facetiously asserted
that Dutch children are born web
footed, but joking apart, Netherlanders
may be said to be almost amphlblouS
in their nature.
The next operation is to drive piles
the straighest that can be procured
thirty or forty feet in the ground,
side by side, a few inches part, in
the lines marked out for the walls.
These are forced perpendicularly in
to the earth by powerful steam
hammer, or by rcpeatei blows from
a heavy weight, alternately raised and
lowered by means of pully and ropes,
worked by gang of twenty or thirty
laborers. When the requisite number
of piles are driven in, the ones remain
ing above ground are cut off level
with each other, and horizontal beams
of oak are laid over them.
The building itself is then commenced
by placing the bricks on the foundation
thus prepared. The back and front OF
the house are never built until the roof
is on, in order that a free current OF
air passing through may cause the
inner and side walls to set more firmly,
and dry quicker. When the building
is completed, coarse canvas, stretched
on wooden frames, is fitted against
the walls, and upon this the paper is
pasted; SO that no matter how damp
the brick work behind may be, the
result is an appearance of dryness',
which is often very delusive. Small
tiles instead of states, are used for the
roofs, and the internal and external
decorations are completed with much
taste. In at least one important
respect, in the arrangement Of their
houses, the Dutch differ greatly from
the English.
In Holland the kitchens are generally
In front; and as the windows face the
street, it affords unlimited opportunities
for the cook and housemaid to carry
on flirtations with their male admirers
"a facility Of which there are by no
means slow to avail themselves.
Many of the Dutch houses are far
more deliberately ornamented inside
than those of modern construction.
In some of them you may see spacious
entrance halls of white marble, broad
staircases of dark polished oak, doors
of shining mahogany, ceiling and wall
beautifully painted with figures. fruit
and flowers, and mirrors with exquisite
" carved frames permanently fixed
over the tireplaces. Even the charitable
institutions and poor-houses in Holland
are very different to the plain. I'M
adorned buildings often used in Eng.
land Is refugees for the unfortunate and
destitute. many Of them being struc.
lures Of considerable architectural
beauty, while in their management
the Dutch are very successful.
