The Child-Dyke.

Holland is beautiful country, full of green
fields, with cattle and sheep grazing in the pas
lures; but there are few trees and no hills to be
seen. The ground is so fiat and low that two or
three times the sea has rushed in over parts of
it and destroyed whole towns. In one of these
foods about two hundred years ago, more than
twenty thousand people were drowned. In
some Of the towns that were flooded not single
creature survived.
large part of the water that came in at the
time of that flood still remains. II is known as
'The Maas;" and in one part OF it there is little
which is called the ''kinderdyke," or child-dyke,
and it got its name in this way:
The waters came rushing over one OF the little
Frlesland villages, and no one had any warning.
In one of the houses there lay child asleep in
its cradle-an old-fashioned cradle, made tight
and strong of good stout wood
By the side of the cradle lay the old cat. baby's
friend, probably purring away quite comfortably.
In came the waters with fearful roar. The
old cat. in her fright jumped into the cradle
with the baby, who slept through the turmoil as
quietly as ever. The house was torn from its
foundation and broken to pieces. but the cradle
fioated out on the angry sea in that dark night
bearing safely its precious burden.
When morning came there was nothing to be
seen of the village and green meadows. All was
water. Hundreds Of people were out Id boats
trying to save as many lives as possible; and on
this little bit of island what do you think they
founda Why, that same old cradle, with the
baby asleep in it and the old cat cured up at her
feet all safe and sound
Where the little voyagers came from, and to
whom they belonged, no one could tell. But in
memory of them this little island was called
kimberley e"-child-dyke-and it goes by that
name to this day. And this story is told to thou.

FREE PASSES.
Charles Francis Adams Tells All About Them |
The Public Has to Pay.

Charles Francis Adams Tells All About Them
The Public Has to Pay.
Mr.. Adams's Testimony Before the Senate.
Senator Platt--That [the free pass system] is
one OF the things which might be remedied by
positive law about as easily as anything else.
Mr.. Adams-How would you get to work to
remedy it'll
Senator Platt-By forbidaing the issuing of
passes.
MI: Adams-If you would, in way that will
be effective, forbid the issuing of passes, would
agree at once to make a considerable reduction
In our passenger rates
Senator Platt-Would you like to have it done
If it could be done9
Mr.. Administering would please me more
should like to have heavy penalty imposed l
90 not, as rule, like to work through legislation
In these matters, but if you will pass law pro-
hlDltng all free passes and subjecting 60 line and
imprisonment any man whe signs pass or any
conductor who takes pass up
Senator Platt--Or any man who rides on
pass.
Mr.. Adams (continuing)-Or any man who
rides on pass. such law would relieve as of
one of the greatest annoyances, outrages, and
abuses, that now exist in connection with the
railroad business. Our free transpor-
tation over the Union Pacific amounts to $4,000
day. Ever since l have been presi-
dent Of the Union Pacific have been laboripg
to cut 1t down. 1t has been one of the greatest
annoyances have met with, but l have been
foiled in nearly every attempt.
The Chairman-People who have been In the
habit of getting them still insist upon having
them2
Mr.. Adams-They not only insist upon having
them, but the pass system mixes itself up with
newspapers, politics, and everything.
There is no reason whatever why one should be
carried free over a railroad any more than
why he should be boarded and lodged
free at q hotel, drive free in
public carriages or order goods without paying
for them in shops Yet, and especially in the
West things are getting to such pass that no
man who has money, or official position, or in
fuence-especially political or newspaper in
fuence-thinks he ought to pay anything for
riding on a railroad. The company which filings
about passes right and left is liberal" The
company which refuses to do SO is ''stugy," and
it shall assuredly be made red hot" for it when
the Legislature meets. That a large percent
age of those who travel pay nothing merely
means that the rest have to pay more.
1t is uncomfortable to what an extent this pass
system has gone. You cannot understand what
an outrage it is upon the railroads and upon the
body of the public. do not hesitate to say that,
in my opinion, 10 per cent or more has to be
charged to those who do pay fares to make up
for those who do not.

Queer Animals In Japan.

Corbett's Herald.
Some of the animals in Japan are quite diff
ferent from the same species which are seen in
America. The cats, for instance, have the
shortest kind of tails or else none at all. Being
deprived of this usual plaything they are very
solemn pusses. An American once took one of
these tailless cats to San Francisco a curl
osity. and it utterly refused companionship with
the long tailed feline specimens there; but find
ing cat whose tail had been cut off by accident,
the two became friendly at once. Japanese
dogs are almost destitute of noses, having the
nostrils set directly in the head. The smaller
the nose the more valuable the breed The gold
fish of that country have remarkably wide and
beautiful tails which look like lace. It is said
that thousand dollars was offered by New
York gentleman for the first pair that could be
brought to that city alive, but repeated attempts
have proved that the fish cannot stand the vow
