PICTURESQUE HOLLAND.
A Charming Country Full of StranG
Sights and Honest People.

A Charming Country Full of Strange
Sights and Honest People.
Holland is a 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-loozing
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 a 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 barons 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 a little more, to be given large,
well-furnished, home-like room, an
appetizing meal, to be treated with
marked courtesy and to feel AS if you
were making visit to your uncle in
the country. In America if you take
dinner it costs you $1.50; 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 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 cab driver who
looked as gentlemanlY as parson or
a 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
35 cents and 5 cents for~Pourbolre?
They have them in Holland. Our
average waiter in America is cOlored
man who wears slouchy dress-cOat,
carries o towel that often looks as if
it had been used for a door-mat, and
has trousers and shoes that would beft
a tramp. The Holland waiter is so
neat and gentlemanly-looking that it
seemed almost an insult to give him
an order for meal, and more than
once it was impossible to avoid the
that some substantial bust
ness 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.

locomotive, invented and patent
ed by Hungarian, NJ. Ala Besthy,
is announced as a startling novelty in
railway engineering. According to
the patentee, the ordinary speed of
this engine is to be IS miles an hour.
and will admit of being increased by
II miles an hour. M. Besthy encases
his engine and tender in shell of
thin iron, with the sides parallel and
tapered off in front, somewhat re-
sembling plowshare, and presenting
smooth surfaces. Where great speed
is not absolutely required, but rather
the pulling of a very heavy train, this
engine is claimed to be specially
adapted by reason of the enormous
power it lis capable of generating.
This power is secured, the patentee
contends, by two boilers 164 feet long,
the barrels of which stand one
above the other. 298 tubes,
two pairs of cylinders 152.inch diam
eter by 194-inch sUroke, and driving
wheels 9 feet 81 inches in diameter. 1t
might be cOntended that the total
length of engine and tender is ex-
cessive, being Is feet. and the weight
in working condition-919 tons-far
too great; but this, it is claimed, is
obviated by placing the front of the
engine on a four-wheeled bogie, the
tender on a six-wheeled bogie, and
coupling the four driving wheels. This
provision prevents, it is also hoped,
too great stress on the rails, and with
the extra large wheel base, the engine
is capable of taking without difficulty
curve as sharp as 6 chains radius.
If this engine proves a success-as it's
patentee eXpects-the consumption of
fuel, on account of diminished air re-
sistance. will fall to a point hitherto
unthought of. Although this new en-
gine and tender will be u tons heavier
and 22 feet longer than any at present
running, the permanent way would, it
is urged, be quite strong enough

DIFFICULT WORK,
How Armature for Dynamo Machine
Is Made.


The most difficult aud important part
of the structure is the armature, and
in building this the first thing is the
laminated iron core. For this pur-
pose an immense number of thin disks
of sheet-iroL are cut out, each having a
central hole to admit the shaft, and
several other holes for the bolts which
are to hold the series of disks together,
so as to make of them a solid drum.
These disks are then piled one upon
another around the iron shaft which
is to form the axe of the armature,
and thick iron plates are applied at
each end and bolted together by iron
bolts going through from end to end.
The drum or cylinder thus formed is
then mounted in lathe and turned
to a smooth surface, except for
such projections as may be left
for guides in winding on the copper
wires. This is the next operation to
be performed: The workman draws
the insulated copper wire down from a
vi OIu ONOIHSdu dllu passes Ii l6DS GQ-
wise around the armature core, which
is supported by its axis in a lathe,
while another workman assists him in
pressing the wire accurately into place
and keeping it close to the core This
wire is not wound on continuously, but
in a number of short sections whose
ends stick out somewhat irregularly.
These ends are to be attached to the
successive sections of the commutator.
The numerous radiating lines at the
nearer end of the drum are parts of the
commutator sections, which are at
tached at their outer ends to the sue
cessive coils of wire on the armature.
AT their nearer ends these rad ial bars
bend at right angles, SO as to pass
along the surface of the shaft, being
insulated froro it and from each other
by mica or other appropriate sub.

OHIO MOUND RELICS.
A Gigantic Man Buried Alongside a Colos
sal Panther.


Soon after the 1st of March left for
Southern Ohio to collect relics to be
placed on loan exhibition in the Smith
sonian Institute at Washington. Dur
ing The last two months eleven large
mounds have been opened and their
contents taken to the museum ard
placed on exhibition.
These mounds vary in height from
eight to thirty feet, are generally con-
ical in shape, and contain all the way
from 800 to 10000 square yards of
dirt. They were built by the aborig-
ines of this country hundreds of years
ago to serve as burial places for the
distinguished dead. They are gener-
ally placed near some stream in a
valley and not unfrequently on high
points of land, which command
a good view of the country, but
the larger ones are in the valleys.
These mounds are usually composed of
clay, sometimes of sand, and often
have layers of charcoal or burnt clay
in them. These layers are often as
brightly colored as if they had been
painted.
The first mound opened was on
rather high ground, the third river
terrace. This mound was 13 feet
high, 60 feet wide and 10 feet long.
1t took six men eight days to dig
through. When about twenty feet
from the eastern edge we came upon a
thick layer of burned bone. This
layer was six inches thick and the
width of the trench. The ashes of
which it was composed were either
resultant from animal or human bones,
we could not tell which, but at any
rate, whether animal or human, it
must have taken thirty or forty skele-
tons Gf cremated) to have made that
many ashes.
About five feet above this layer, or
nine feet from the summit of the
mound, was a skeleton of very large
individual which had buried by the
side of it the bones of a
panther. Whether the person had
killed the panther and it was buried
with him as an honor or whether the
panther had killed the individual 1
can not say. This, much, however,
can be said, that in forty-three mounds
opened no find of this nature has been
made. 1t is therefore quite interest
ing and important. The skull of this
panther was very large, teeth very
long and sharp. 1t would take
mound-builder of a great deal of nerve
to attack beast of this size if he had
nothing but stone hatchet and bow
and arrows to defend himself with. So
if he did kill the panther he is cer
talnly entitled to a gre96 deal efcredlt.
just below this skeleton and lying on
the layer of buried bones was med1-
um-sized personage who had buried
around his neck, between his upper
and lower jaw, one hundred and forty
seven bone and-~f1oft tCdds. The shell
beads were made from the thick part
of couch and Pyrula shells. These
shells must have been carried from the
Atlantic ocean, as they are ocean
shells and not found inland, or the
tribe to which the man belonged may
have traded with tribes near the ocean
and thereby got the beads. Cincinnati

SOME ONE LOVES US BEST.

Said the roses to the pansies,
As they looked around the bowers:
WHO can doubt, who deny itS
We excel all other flowers.
See our robes of many colors,
And our petals smooth and fair;
With a wealth of richest fragrance
Fill we all the summer air."
Not far on tiny violet
Waited till she heard them through,
Then, With gentle voice, she whispered:
But the people love US, too.
Though we are not tall and stately,
Though our faces are not fair,
Search amid the richest garIands,
You will find the violets there"
Soon there came gentle maiden,
As she looked the garden DER,
'tAhr' she cried, you lovely roses,
All the world must you adore.
But my place is very humble,
Like the violets that 1 see.
Ladies fair must wear the roses;
Violets, you were born for me-"
With her little hand she gathers
Vfolets white and violets blue;
Close upon her heart she lays them,
Pure and fragrant, fresh with dew.
And the tiny violets trembling,
Nesting closer TO her breast,
Cry: I'VE are not like the roses,
Yet you see, she loves US best"
"Ahg" thought, 1.-THE violets teach US
Lessons sweet and lessons true;
Though we are not like the roses,
Some ones sure to love US, too.
Though We are not fair and stately,
Nor in silk or jewels dressed,
If we are but kind and gentle,
Some ones sure to love US best"
