The lumbrrmen Of the northern
States Of the Union are much aroused
at the bill which has been offered III
Congress to the following effect:
"Ihat from and after the passage
Of tins act no raft Of logs or timber
shall be brought into or taken out Of
any harhor, port or place of the
United States on the Atlantic, Pacific
or Gulf coast, or on any of the great
lakes Of the United States, nor shall
any raft of logs or timber that may
be brought into and upon any Of the
great lakes from any river, stream,
port or place in the dominion Of
Canada, or any other foreign port, be
towcd, navigatcd, or IN any manner
propelled in or upon any Of the great
lakes or nayIgabIu streams connecting
the same within the jurisdiction Of
the United States Of America
SEC. 2. That the penalty for the
violation or attempted violation of any
provision of this act shall be the for
fcituro to the United States Of
America, according to law, Of the logs
or timber brought into or taken out

taken out of any harbor, port or place
in the United States, orwhen brought

or III any manner propelled in OF upon
the great lakes or nayigabIe streams
connecting the same within the jurs-
diction Of the United States of Amer
lea, contrary to the provisions Of sec
tlon one Of this act"
As its restrictions apply to gulf
ports, our lumbermen are, Of course,
greatly interested. If it means that
no raft Of lumber or logs are to be
hoatcd in any Of the rivers or lakes Of
the South, such a bill would inhlct an
enormous hardship. 1t is well known
that RATS Of lumber and logs are
frequently moved on the Mississippi
and its tributaries on the southern
rivers and on the southern lakes, and
this material can in no other way be
got to market or to mill in many
cases. No vessels have been unduIy
damaged on any of these waters by
such rafts, and there can be no reason
able objection to them, unless it be
admitted that the bill in question has
been framed exclusively in the inter,
ests of railroads.
It appears that a few years ago a
timber raft was being towed from a
port in Nova Scotia through the
North Atlantic ocean, when it was
broken up by q storm, and il is con
tended that some ships were damaged
BY the floating drift logs. Tbat can
be no reason for driving the lumber
men from the inland waters. The
lumber business IS q great industry
whose Importance in the South 10

trammel il by hostile legislation would
be great injustice and work an out
rageons wrong upon most valuable
Interests. We tIust Congress win

Instructive gymnastics is, from the
hyg1enic point Of view, the best
adapted to the regular development
of the child. 1t is not liable to any
Of the objections we have brought
against gymnastics with apparatus.
1t cannot deform the body, for it is
made up of spontaneous movements,
and conformcd to the natural office Of
each limb. 1t does not locaIize the
work in particular region of the body,
for all the limbs are lnstinctively in
vited to take their quota of exercise;
and it does not seduce the child into
efforts touching upon the limits of his
strength. Instinct also invites him
to the kind of work which is best
adapted to his particular aptitude for
resisting fatigue. He has natural
disposition to perform light, but
frequently recurring acts, quick
motions, which put him out of breath,
while exercises with apparatus rather
exact slow aud intense efforts that
bring on local fatigue, Now, all OBJ
servers have noticed the wonderful
facility with which a child RECEIVERS
his breath, and his impatienoe of local
fatigue. Finally natural exercise
being the satisfaction of a want, is by
that very fact pleasure; aud JOY
shines in the face of the child who is
playing freely.

PICTURESQUE HOLLAND.
A Charming COu TRY Full OF Strange
Sights and Honest People.

A Charming Cou TRY Full OF Strange
Sights and Honest People.
Holland is charming country and
deserves more time from the tourist
than it ordinarily gets. A land so
fresh and sweet and clean, the canals
with picturesque windmills all along
their banks, the red tile roofs powered
In green, the fat. cOntented-looking
horses and cattle, the comfortable ap-
pearance of the people, and their
houses, the mountains of cheese and
butter, fresh rolls and tempting vege-
tables. and the thorough kindness and
honesty of the people constitute re-
freshing contrast to one accustomed to
city ways. / believe it is impossible
to find poor bread and butter or an un-
tidy room and bed in Holland, and
after series of struggles with the
lOrdly hotel clerk bar3ns In America,
what a luxury it is to be received by a
kindly-faced man who does not look as
if he knew every thing in the world
and little more, to be given a large.
well-furnished, home-like room. an
appetizing meal. to be treated with
marked courtesy and to feel AS if you
were making a visit to your uncle in
the country. In America if you take
dinner it costs you $3.50; if
you lack that much of complet-
ing the day then it is worth
only so cents in allowing for it.
and every thing is based on the plan
of making a traveller pay for some
thing he hasn't received. In Holland
the bill is generally less than one ex-
poets and the little customary gratuity
is most cheerfully given. And then
did you ever hear of a cab driver who
looked as gentlemanly as parsOn or
professor. who would drive you
about town for an hour, who did not
claim any extras for overtime and
who would be perfectly satisfied with
55 cents and cents for pourbOire?
They have them in Holland. Our
average waiter in America is colored
man who wears a slOuchy dress-cOat
it had been used for a door-mat. and
has trousers and shoes that would befit
a tramp. The Holland waiter is so
neat and gentlemanly-looking that it
seemed almost an insult to give him
all order for a meal. and more than
once it was impossible to avoid the
impression that some substantial bust
aess man of the place was addressing
Us. The maid servants with their
tidy caps and aprons. always the same
whether seen in the shop, house or
street, are really an artistic feature of
every place, and are enough in them
selves to make the country attractive,
for they seem to represent the univer-
sal cleanliness and wholesOmeness of
this paradise for haters of dirt.-COr.
