The houses in Holland, a correspond
ent says, are mostly of brick, square in
shape, one story high with peaked red
tiled roof. The matched roof which IS
so usual in Belgium is here seldom seen.
The houses are usually neat looking, both
outside and in.
On opening the door you are shown
into large room with kitchen utensils
in the glory of highly-burnished splendor
hanging about a stove or cooking range,
with here table, a settee and a few
chairs, with strip of carpet laid on a
brick floor.
Ranging down this long room is a row
of COW stalls on an elevated brick paved
platform, with trench back of the
stalls about two feet wide and two feet
deep. This room accommodates from
twenty to fifty cows on well-to-do
farmers place, and was a curious sight to
us. These stables and kitchen combined
are scrubbed clean and whtewashed and
are as clean as any ward in some of our
best hospitals.
In the spring, when the cattle are
turned out to grass, the stalls are scrubbed
and secured, the brick pavements painted
and the walls and ceilings whitewashed. E.
Lace curtains are arranged at the win
dows; often flower-pots or little jardiniers
are kept there during the summer, and
the room smells as sweet and is as clean
as the milk house of the most fastidious
farmers wife.
After the COWS are housed in the fall,
they remain in until spring. You see no
COW yards. The cattle are either in past
ure or in their stalls. When turned out,
they are blanketed with sail cloth curl
ously held in place by robes running I'm
der and around the legs.
This large room mentioned above is
occupied jointly by the cows and the
servants. Opening from it you enter a
dining and sitting-room, generally car
peted, and, unlike the stable and kitchen,
has wooden floors. From this you enter
the bedrooms. The beds are generally
in an elevated alcove, with doors in front,
cutting it off from the room. The bed
is generally bunk. In this province
bedsteads are seldom used.

New Industry for Children.

A novel industry for children's tiny lit.
tie fingers has somewhat recently been in
troduced into England, and is quite as
fascinating to the little workers as it is
remunerative. A company has been
formed for the manufacture of toys,
which were formerly imported into the
country at the almost incredibly large
sum of 50, 900, 900. When it was learned
that most of the work cf manufacturing
the toys was accomplished by little chill
dren, who enjoyed their employment so
much that they preferred it to play, this
company established their mandatory in
the midst of crowded district of Bir-
mingham, and advertised to teach chill
dren the work free of cost. As soon as
the people learned of this offer, women
and children besiged the place in such
numbers that the street was literally
packed with applicants, and the police
had great difficulty TO force their way
through the throng. The children after
learning how to do the work are allowed
TO take it to their homes, and, sur
rounded by new comforts and luxuries
purchased by the proceeds of their fasci-
mating employment, amid the refining in
fluences of home, hundreds of busy little
hands are employed in delightful work.
To call out the most intelligent workers
in the trade the company issued a list of
prizes to be competed for by the children
under twelve years of age and awarded to
the child who shall construct the best
outfit for the company's paper doll The
largest prize is s5, the smalles5 f3, and
other prize lists are to follow presently.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
MAKING STOCK.

! There is a great deal of unreliable in-
formation going the rounds of many
papers, protesting to tell how to run a
stoc5-pot. Such as, for instance, that
vessel can be kept on the back of the
stove, and bones, scraps of meat and
vegetables put into it after each meal,
and kept constantly simmering, and that
from this mess good soups can be OBJ
tanned. If there is a family of any size,
there should be enough of the bones and
remains of poultry and meat and game
to make a soup at least four times a week
without buying fresh meat for the pur-
pose. The most satisfactory way to do
this, however, is to keep a dish in your
larder or ice-boX, to receive such bits
and the cold gravies for day or two, and
then make as much broth from them as
their quantity will allow. In boarding
house, Or very large family, it may be
possible to keep stock-pot constantly
simmering, but the broth should be
strained off and the bones and vegetables
thrown out every twenty-four hours
Vegetables should not be put into it un-
til an hour before the soup is to be re-
moved. If soup is to be boiled three
hours, use one quart of cold water to
every pound of bone and meat, in the
proportion of one Of the former to three
of the latter. If it is TO boil six hours
(and where time is no object this should
always be allowed), add two quarts to
every pound of meat; this will reduce to
one quart by boiling. The boiling must
be slow and steady, and the skimming
must be thorough. Inattention to these
details clouds the stock and makes it
dark. About one hour before the stock
is done, add the usual bunch of soup
herbs, one carrot, one turnip and one
onion stuck with three cloves. This is
the proportion for four quarts Of plain
stock. Simmer an hour longer, strain
into an earthen jar, and leave it stand to
cool, uncovered. If there is time to let
it get perfectly cold, the fat may be re-
moved in a solid cake; if not it may be
SKINNED off, and in either case it is ex-
cellent for frying. Many housewives do
not find it necessary to use a BIT of lard,
preferring beef suet tried out and mixed
with clarified fat from the top of soups.

One thing which harasses Americans
in England perhaps more than anything
else, observes the New York World, is
that they have so frequently to pay for
something which should be supplied free
and supplied freely. The performance
at the theatres is a familiar illustration.
The latest story of returning travellers,
however, has to do with the lights in
the underground railroad cars. The
passenger can turn one ON and read his
paper if he puts penny in the slot. If
Wgrudges the penny he cannot have the
illumination. The light is arranged in a
deep box just back of the passengers
head. 1t is an electric light and will
only illuminate the paper or book i'm
mediately in front of it and will only
illumipate it for fifteen minutes. At the
end of that time, if a second penny does
not come in, the light goes out. In this
way the radiance remains fixed, although
obviously the passengers pockets grow
lighter all the time,

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
WHEN THE TRAIN CONES IN.

There are eager faces near,
And half-subdued cheer,
As around the curve the cars unsteady sp;yi
While impatient feet await
For the opening Of the gate,
At the station when the train comes in.
There is handshaking and kissing,
And inquiries for the missing.
And a searching here and there for friends
or kin;
There are sad and fearful signs,
And a waving of gcod-bys,
At the station when the train comes in.
Then from out the baggage car,
Oh, so careful, lest to jar,
Comes a long and narrow box amid the din.
As the mourners gather round,
There's a sobbing, wailing sound
At the station when the train comes in.
Then the ringing of the bell,
And the whistle. clearly tell.
They are ready new journey to begin,
For it brooks not to he late,
There are other hearts that wait
AT the station when the train comes In.

Thanks to the missionaries, inner
Africa is now able to do good deal of
her own printing, as the Portuguese
found out in October last. They re-
ceived, the New York Sun asserts, a
printed declaration from Consul john
ston announcing that a large part of the
Shire River region had been placed under
the protection of Great Britain. The
typesetting and press work had been
done by black boys at Blantyre, the now
famous mission station in the beautiful
Shire Highlands, where the wilderness
has been made to blossom, hundreds of
acres having been turned into planta-
tions and grain fields, while scores of
children are studying in the school and
learning trades in the workshops. 1t has
cost 5000, 900 thus far to bring about
this transformation.

HOW THE SUN WENT Down.

We were together, my love and I,
We roamed the meadows and life wa
sweet;
Never a cloud in the summer sky,
And flowers a-blowing about our.feet
Our hearts were glad for that one glad day,
So bright it seemed of all joy the crown;
But the beautiful brightness passed away,
Oh, how quickly the sun went down.
Golden light upon land and sea
Golden light for my love and mel
Never can dawn day so bright,
Linger little with us tonight
We have been parted, my love and l,
Many year by time and tide.
Not till we reach the home on high
Shall stand again at my lost ones side
The flowers are faded the world is cold,
The trees are naked, and gaunt, and brown,
And youth has fed and my heart is old,
Oh how slowly the sun goes down!
Evening shadows of dreamy gray,
Draw your veil DER my weary wayl
Till day shall break and the shadows Zee
And morning bringeth my love TO me.

The Bookcases Were Too Large.

A story is told of a gentleman who is
now and has been for some years past en-
gagged in rearing an elegant mansion of

Much care has been taken and no eX-

was progressing and'visited the library.

was found that with bodies of troops
400 yards apart, one body IN the woods,
the sound of their firing could be heard,
but there was not smoke enough to To-

England, Australia and the China Seas.
It is said that the members of the Sailors
and Firemen's Union, numbering more

There has been an exanf pie in Man
chester, England, recently of the folly of
parents exposing their children to disease
with the idea that they must have it at
one time or another, and that as they
must have it the trouble may as well be
over with. Some Manchester mothers
had this notion in regard to measles,
with the result that in two weeks forty
four children died. The mothers de-
iiberately placed their children in the
way of taking the disease. The large
mortality was probably due to the fact
that la grippe was prevalent at the time.
The Chicago Herald declares it to be the
very acme of unvisdom to expose child
to any disease.

however, and lately, when one of his
