The nfOOrs of Holland,

In some provinces in Holland there are
large tracts of heath and moorland, which
at present have no value whatever,
although once covered with dense
forests. An effort is now being made to
utilize these moors, and several land
owners have combined to form company,
whose object it viii be to attempt a
gradual fertilization of the soil by replant-
ing trees. How much good such an enter
prise can work under careful manage
ment is shown by similar undertaking
in Denmark, which has been in existence
for the last quarter Of a century. The
Danish society for the fertilization of
heaths and moors, chiefly by forestation,
has now some 1000 members, among
whom may be found the principal agri-
culturists of the kingdom. Il enjoys large
subsidies from the government and from
the agricultural societies, so that it has
been enabled to start some 400 ''conces-
sions' or plantations in different parts of
Denmark. In the Netherlands it is pro-
posed to work the scheme upon similar
lines.-Boston Transcript.

FACE TO FACE.

II my face could only promise that its color
would remain,
If my heart were only certain it would hide the
moments pain,
Iwould meet you and would greet you in the old
familiar tone,
And naught should ever show you the wrong that
you have done.
If my trembling hand were steady, if my smiles
had not all led,
If my eyes spoke not SO plainly Of the tears they
often shed.
Iwould meet you and would greet you at the old
sweet trysting place,
And perchance you'd deem me happy if you met
me face to face.
If the melody Of spring tide awoke no wild re-
frain,
II the autunn's golden burden awoke no living
pain,
Iwouid meet thee, and would greet thee, as years
ago we met,
Before our hearts were shipwrecked, on the ocean
of regret.
IF my wonan's soul were stronger, if my heart
were not so true,
should long have ceased remembering the love
had for you;
But 1 dare not meet or greet thee, in the old
familiar way,
Until we meet in heaven, when tears have passed
away.

Proud Saya~es OF Patagonia.

The Patagonian Indians are a high
grade of sayages, have more intelligence
than the natives of the tropical ATTITUDES,
are more honorable and less cruel. 1t is
said that the Patagonian Will never
keep an agreement with a Spaniard, for
the Spaniard has never kept faith with
him. But he can be relied upon by every
other nationality A German trader who
has had much TO do with them during
several years experience at Puenta
Arenas, told me that when Tehuelches
chief agreed to bring him skins and feath-
ers, he brought them if they were to be
found in the country. If the same chief
agreed to bring the same things to

tain not to do it. II the Chill trader
called him to account he would answer,
"Manana" (to-morrow), the word the
Spaniard always uses to excuse himself
from carrying out bargain. This prac-
tice is SO universal that the Spaniards
have been driven out of the trading bust
ness. The Indians would not sell to them
till all the other traders were supplied,

Central American Coast Traffic.

Most OF the coastwise traffic, the carry
ing of goods Of American or European
production, to the various trading posts
along the shore, and the bringing back
fruits, rubber, sarsaparilla, palm nuts,
skins, and such other products as the In
dams gather in the forests lying eastward
from Trujillo, is done by the aid of dories.
These are no more than canoes, followed
and hewn from Spanish cedar, mahogany
or other trees Some Of them are of good
size, six or seven feet beam, forty or fifty
feet over all and four or five feet deep. Of
course they are buoyant, and under the
management Of the Cards make good
weather of it even in rather rough water.
But On "a wind they slide as fast to lee
ward as they forge ahead. l am not sure
that they do not, as a matter Of fact, go
two miles to leeward for every one they
go ahead, with head wind. Of course
they are practically useless, except when
the wind is fair.-E. w. Perry's Hon
turas Letter in Chicago Times.

Getting Things Somewhat Mixed.

A newly elected justice of the peace,
who had been used 10 drawing up deeds
and wills and little else, was called up to
marry couple in haste. Removing his
hat he remarked: "Hats off in the pres

he proceeded: Hold up yer right hand.

He Didn't Strike Back.

There is a good story told of Wesleyan
student, one of the boats crew that fin
ished second in c. fiotilla of six at Sara
toga some years ago. He was slim,
good looking fellow, without a trace of
pedant in his makeup. He became en-
amGred of the daughter of well 10 do
farmer, who lived not far from the lake
The farmer objected to him on general
principles, and tried to break off the ac-
workmanship; he did not want a minis
ter for son-in-law, and the young man
seemed too light wasted for a rough bat
tie with the world. Returning early one
night he found the pair of lovers seated
On the sofa, and at once proceeded TO take
off his coat
eff your father raises his hand against
me, shall not strike back, but l will pull
his nose, " whispered the Lothario.
Nov, medical men pronounce the nose
q most delicate and sensitive organ, and
anything beyond gentle dalliance with it
is provocative Of great pain. But the old
gentleman sailed in, and dragging the
student lover to the dOorsill he deposited
several pounds of kicking power under
his coat tails. This was too much, and
true to his word the young athlete seized
the old mans nose twixt his fingers and
wrung it heartily. In this unexpected
turn OF affairs the theologian was revealed
in new light.

of men and women who use it On all pos

Greasing a Patient.

Here is a case that happened out west a
few years since. The graduating class in
one of our medical colleges was advised
at the last by the old professor never TO
acknowledge ignorance, but always, when
called, TO give some treatment. One of
the class settled in a western town, and
after some years the old professor, in
travelling, got piece of bone in his throat
in this same town, and the young doctor
being called, failed by every means in his
power 10 dislodge the obstruction, and
then having recognized the old professor,
stripped him and rubbed him with lard.
This so amused the old professor that be
could not restrain a hearty laugh, which
dislodged the bone, and he asked the doc
tor, why in thunder did you grease

The Australian War Dance,

The customs of the ''black fellows" OF
the Australian bush in their wild state
are not uninteresting. Their grand dance
or Corraberee, performed on occasions of
great state, such as a victory over an
enemy, or TO appease an angered deity,
for they have crude notions of Supreme
Being, is weird and ghA tly spectacle. 1t
is always performed at fEdn oht in the
darkest glade. A huge bonsre is built,
and the natives, with their bones outlined
on the surface of their bodies with white
paint, thus giving them the appearance of
skeletons, leap and jump in a circle about
the fire to the tune of rude chant.
Faster and faster the dance becomes,
higher and higher the leaps are made, till,
in one grand finale, all fall fat to the
ground. Should one fall before the end,
he is at once tabooed as possessed of the
evil spirit, and death will be his lot if he
fails 20 make his escape.-Alta California.

The Gray Hair Fuller.

Possibly the most unique method Of
earning living known is that adopted
by a big, rosy, 20-year-old blonde, who
finds engagements with women just Ia
menting their first gray hairs, TO weed
out, so to speak, those obnoxious remind
ers of advancing years. The gray hair
puller is gentle in her methods of treat
ment, and makes periodic visits at inter
walls of few weeks, spending from half
an hour to two or three hours, letting
down the hair, combing it out and spying
for tell tale silver threads. She carries
an innocent looking little reticule, which
contains various glycerine and rose water
preparations for q healing application
when the work of torture has been done.
1t is not especially disagreeable work, and
1t is said to pay.-Kansas City Journal
