Hollands Fight with the Sea.

After delicious breakfast of coffee
and thick cream, with rusks, scenes,
and different kinds of cheese, always
Indispensable in Dutch breakfasts, we
took to the railroad again and crossed
Zealand, which chiefly consists of four
islands-NOordt, Beveland, Zuid Beve-
land, Schouwen and Walcheren-and
is less visited by the rest of the Meth
erlanders than any other part of the
country. The land is all cut up into
vast polders, as the huge meadows are
called. which are recovered from the
sea and protected by embankments.
Here, if human care was withdrawn
for six months, the whole country
would be under the sea again. A corps
of engineers, called "Water-staat," are
continually employed To watch the
waters and TO keep in repair the dikes
which are formed of clay at the bot
tom, as that is more waterproof than
anything else, and matched with will
lows, which are here grown extensive
ly for the purpose. II the sea passes
dixie. ruin is imminent, an alarm bell
rings, and the whole population rush
to the rescue. The moment one dixie
is even menaced the people begin to
build another inside it, and then rely
upon the double defence while they
fortify the old one. But all their care
has not preserved the islands of Zea-
land. Three centuries ago Schouwen
was entirely submerged, and every liv
ing creature drowned. Soon after,
NOordt Beveland was submerged, and
remained for several years entirely un
der water, only the points ofthe church
spires being visible. Zuid Beveland
has been submerged in the fourteenth
century. Walcheren was submerged as
late as 1908, and ThOlen even in 1925.
1t has been aptly asserted that the sea
to the Inhabitants of Holland is what
Vesuvius is TO Tore del Greco. De
Amicis says that the Dutch have three
enemies-the sea, the lakes, and the
rivers; they repel the sea, dry the
lakes, and they imprison the rivers /;
but with the sea it is combat which
never ceases- Good Words.

Wrongs to the Indians.

About fortnight ago it was tele-
graphed from the far West to the press
of the country that $50 Navajo and
Ute Indians fully armed and with war
paint on, were about TO join GerOni-
mos band of numbering Apaches.
Herbert Welsh, secretary of the Indian
Rights association, Immediately wrote
to Fort Defiance on the Navajo reser-
vatiOn in New Mexico, asking for the
facts. S. E. Marshall replied, writing
under date of June 2, that he had just
Investigated the rumor by direction of
Agent Bowman, going to the locality
of the reputed gathering of the Nava-
jos, and had found and reported to the
Indian commissioner that ''not one
Navajo had left the reservation armed
and painted for the purpose of joining
the Apaches. They are contented and
happy, and trying to make an honest
living. In the most positive
language they expressed condemna-
ton of the course the Apaches have
taken, and proposed that | or some
other American in whom they had con
idence should lead them to fight the
Apaches in defense of the unprotected
settlers" This is one of the instances
in which Western lie is Instantly
shown for what it is. The incident
may explain to the settlers who are so
liberal with their sneers at Eastern
sentiment" why there is so little con-
fidence felt in their side of Indian diff
ticulties. Even pretty respectable
white men, when they get on the Dor
der, do not think it very wrong TO
bear false witness against the red men.

They Were so Busy To-day.

A boy about twelve years of age en-
tered a store on Michigan avenue the
other day and asked for the proprietor,
and when confronted by that individu-
al the lad hesitatingly inquired:
'I-I wanted to ask you for some in
formation about Ell Madhi. Man up
the street said yOn were posted and
that you'd be glad to help boy along"
'Ye-e-s," said the proprietor as he
scratched his ear, LESS so. Ell Mahdi-
Yes. Say, bub, Pm awfuIly busy this
morning. Ask the cashier, and here's
IA quarter for You. / like to help IL boy
along, but I'm rushed this morning"
The boy went down to the cashiers
desk and said: "NOther boy and me
about Ell Mahdi. Please tell me all
You know"
"El Mahdi-y-e- s." replied the cash
Ter. Hang it, I've read of him IL doz-
en- times over, and the name is very
familiar. Ye-e-s-jess so. Say, bub,
our tloor-walker knows everybody and
everything. Here's fifteen cents for
yOu if you won't bother me to-day"
The boy passed along to the gentle
man mentioned and said: "My teacher
wants me to find out all l can about FL
Mahdi. Where was he born How old
is he What does he do for living Z?
Please give me all the facts you can"
The tiOOr-walker looked the innO-
cent boy in the eye for long haIf-min-
ute. Then he pulled quarter from
his vest pocket, passed it over and
kindly whispered: 'Not to-day, my
son, but some other day. They'll prob
ably tell you next door, rs they aren't

He Spanked the Boy.

All the adult passengers in the wait
ing room had their attention attracted
by his antics. He wanted candy, and
he wanted to see the river, and he
wanted to go aboard the train, and he
wanted more than any city the size of
Detroit could possibly furnish free
gratis. His mother hushed him up the
best she could, and several times he
slapped her face and kicked her shins
and got Oft without even Il pinch. BY
and by an old man who sat near her,
and whose feet the boy walked on sew
eral times began to get nervous, and
turning to his right hand neighbOr,
said:
Land o. MASSEY, but I've either got
to get out of here or spank that boy ~
ale just aches for it" growled the
other.
"He does. He puts me in mind of
my William. Pve seen William when
nothing on airth but spanking would
put good nature into him."

at this moment.
'Please, Johnny, be good entreat-
ed his mother.

ing at US"

With that he walked up to the old
man and made kick, and then the
curtain went up on the play. With
one twist and two motions he was
seized, whirled over Il pair of knees,
and before he could squeak once the
spanking machine began its work. If
ever II boy of seven was neatly wound
up and the ugly taken out of him in
side of sixty seconds the work was no
more complete than in this case.

ended the child and placed him on a

Courtship and Marriage.

With an honorable girl and an hon
orable man, an engagement carries
with it more than a few sunny months
of courtship. After courtship comes
marriage; after marriage comes the
home. To describe the reasons which
to some young people seem quite suffi-
cient to Justify them, first in flirting
and then in getting "engagedr would
answer no good purposes. But putting
aside the indirect manner in which
writers address their readers, let me
speak frankly to you, as a friend to a
friend Let me ask you to consider
what you must have in your future
wife, to make it even tolerable to
spend twenty, thirty or forty years to-
gether. l will not insist on the ele-
ments which are necessary to the ro-
mantle perfection of married life; for
most of us are commonplace people,
and life of romance is beyond our
reach. There are some very common
place things you ought to make sure of.
Next to trIthfulness, temperance,
industry and courage. Then fOrtitude;
that is the power to bear pain and
trouble without whining. Then unset
tishness for the selfish man, or the
selfish girl, though drawn out of sell
fishness in the early weeks of court
ship, will settle back into it again
when the wear and worry of life come
on. l said just now the most of us are
commonplace people, and that II life of
romance is out of reach but | believe
in "falling in love-" The imagination
shOuld be kindled and the heart touch
ed there should be enthusiasm and
even romance to the very end of life,
or else the home is wanting in its per-
feet happiness and grace. The won
derful charm which makes the wife
more to the husband than all other
women, and the husband more to the
wife than all other men-this is neces-
sary to Il happy marriage. But take
my word for it, those plain, solid vir-
tues of which l have spoken are indis-
pensable to the security and happiness
of Il home and it is Il home you are
drifting TO when you are drifting into
love- Rev. r. w. Dale.

A New Clock.

A very interesting clock has just
been fixed opposite the National Pro-
vincial bank in Bishopsgate-street. 1t
is on the 24-ho principle, and is re-
markable rs possessing probably the
simplest method which has yet been
introduced for indicating time upon
the new enumeration. The clock has
only one hand, the long minute hand,
and the figures around are placed as
HERETOFORE; instead, however, of indi-
eating the hours, they indicate the
minutes only, which are marked from
five to sixty. The hours are shown on
IL sunk dial revolving under the upper
dial, space being left in the upper
dial in which the next hour comes for
ward simultaneously upon the minute
hand completing its circuit of sixty min
utes. In short, the solitary hand marks
the minutes and the sunk space shows
the hour London Paper.

The Smoking Nuisance.

An exchange refers to the cigarette
nuisance as being particularly dis
agreeable to cigar smokers. 1t speaks
of their leaving the company, or ask
ing for the extinguishmcnt of the CT
garette, as if it was a personal insult
to have the smoke of it pulled in their
faces. But how many of them realize
that their beloved cigar smoke is
equally offensive to non smokers. If
they must be protected against the CT
garette, why has not the non smoker a
right to be protected from the cigar ?
The cigar smoker is the most notorious
trampler upon the rights of others. He
persists in putting his disgusting fumes
in every public place unmindful that
they are frequent cause of nausea to
a healthy physical condition and are
especially annoying TO ladies. If ask
ed to desist he often refuses. He says
it is Il free country and he can do as he
likes. He seems to have no idea he is

A Temperance Fable.

There is an old fable which tells of
man who had the choice which of three
sins he would commit, drunkenness,
adultery or murder. He chose drunk
enness us the least, but when he was
intoxicated, so the story runs, he COM
mitted both the others, and thus ended
by being guilty of all the three. There
is deep meaning in the fable; for who
shall reckon up for us the number of
crimes committed under the influence
OF strong drink ? Crimes from the very
thought of which the individuals who
perpetrate them would in their sober
senses have shrunk back appalled,

Dropped Out. p"

That is about all that can be said of
many once active in church work.
They were in useful positions, were
relied upon, and seemed to promise
increasing service. But now, the
places that once knew them know them
not. You hear of them as having once
been earnest in the weekly prayer
meeting and in every good work. All
that you now learn is that they have
"dropped out" So come loss to the
church and disappointment to those
with whom they were associated.
Worse still, to themselves has come n
loss of earnestness, painful fore
shortening of faculty and diminution
of usefulness. The very consciousness
of such deterioration ought to alarm
and rouse them to their old fidelity.
But no; filled with other ambitions
and cares, they apologize to themselves
for their lapse from a noble life. Some
great bereavement has taken from
them heart for their former Christian
activities, and so, "busy burying over
and over again their dead,n they have
dropped out of the ranks of workers.
The church misses them their former
departments of labor are weakened.
An increasing business, taxing their
strength, is their excuse from Chris
tian effort. So Gods blessing on their
secular enterprises is made a reason
for relapsing into Incidence. They,
too, have dropped out" Ill-health
and absence for recuperation issue in
the same way.
Alas that there should ensue such a
loss to every good cause What is
,yrander than steadfasfpeSs tJ,ot DrOws
through the passing years? More and
more do [ reverence the disciple TO
whom ''the Fathers business is al
ways an inspiration and JOY.
Retired Christians, self-furloughed
laborers, whom grief or business has
caused to ''drop out" are moarnful
specimens of Christian character. They
''raH well for season. but their life
was no heightened creseendo. 1t di-
