Hollands Vast Undertaking.



lfthe estimates which have been made
of the cost of draining the Zuyder Zee in
Holland and the value of the land which
will be reclaimed are correct. it will be a
profitable undertaking which has at least
been begun after 600 years consideration
1t was in the year 1882 thatthe sea flooded
100000 acres and destroyed seventy-two
villages inhabited by the Dutch. The
dam which is to be built 10 shut out the
North Sea will extend from Makum. in
Friesland, to the Island Of Wieringen. in
North Holland. When it is finished the
water will be pumped into the sea and the
world will be allowed to look mt the thir-
teenth century villages, or what is left of
them. 1t is said that three fourths of the
reclaimed land will be worth S4OO an acre
which will add $500 900, 900 to the yolnr
Of the agricultural territory of Holland.
As the cost of building the dam and pump
ing out the water will be only S95. .O00. 900.
there will be handsome profit in the en-
terprise. On this side of the ocean slOo
an acre seems to be a large price for farm
ing land, but it may be worth that amount
to the iIolanders.

Wearing Mourning.


The North American Review of a late
date contains a sensible article on the non
sensible habit of wearing mourning. Ii
describes the habit to be, as it is, relic of
barbarism. 1t originated with the heather,
and is continued by them, but not in the
mode practiced by our fashionable MOURN
ers, who exhibit no other evidence of grief
than the color of their garments, lfpeoplc
mourn the loss of relative or cherish the
memory ola friend it should not be necessary
TO exhibit their grief in black in order that
the world may judge by the clothes they
wear of the depth of their sorrow.
To see, as we often do, sable robes cover
ing a light heart that makes merry with
the gay and joins in festivities inconsistent
with the shadow of the grave creates a re-
vnlsion in the minds and feelings of the
refined, and leads us to ask with the Review,
"How can one who has ever known the
crushing but refining grace of sorrow bear
this wretched travesty, which seems to
measure for the public eye its successive
stages of consolation. Think of a combina-
tion Of white and gray and violet as indi-
eating to the world the healing of a strick.
en- soul. How the honesty of grief must
shrink from this lie of apparent forgetful-
ness "

Walrus Skins.

Walrus skins are sometimes treated by
the San Francisco tanners. The hides are
OF immense size, weighing as much as 700
pounds and measuring eight feet by fonr-
teen. The first experiment with these
skins was made about twelve wears aeo.
but at first there was no market for them
when tanned. Local silversmiths. how
ever, found them an excellent substitute
for the old-style emery-wheeI. and began
to use them to poliSh-silvcrware and to
"suriace precious stones. The price Of
the skin advanced until it reached s. 4
pound Whalers were commissioned to
secure the green hides, and with competi-
ton the price fell to S3 a pound. The
process of tanning is the same as that used
for ordinary leather, save that the walrus
hides are laid away for six months out of
the twelve, and it takes five years to com
plete the process of curing. The average
run of the hides in thickness is from three
to four inches when green. When tanned
they run from two to three inches in
thickness.

Effect of Water Upon Horses.
From The Chicago Clay Journal.

FROM llle CHlcago tihS 'ohlHAl'
A horse can live twenty-five days with
out solid food, merely drinking water
seventeen days without either eating or
drinking and only five days when eating
solid food without drinking
An idea prevails among horsemen that
horse should never he watered oftener
than three times a day, or in twenty-tour
hours. This is not only mistaken idea
but a very brutal practice a horse :
stomach is extremely sensitive, and will
suffer under the least interference, causing
feverish condition.
Feeding horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water is
like giving man salt maekerel for dinner
and not allowing him to drink until sup
per timc-very unsatisfactory for the man.
If you knov anything about the care Of
horses, and have any sympathy for them,
water them as often as they want to drink
once an hour, if possible BY doing
this, you will not only be mercifnl to your
animals, but you will be a benelactor to
yourself, as they will do more work they
will be healthier; they will look better ;
and will be less liable to coughs and colds,
and will live longer.
If YOU are a skeptie and know more
about horses than any one else, you are
positive that the foregoing is wrong, be
cause you have had horses die with water
ing them too much, and boldly say that
the agitators of frequent watering are fools
in your estimation, and you would not do
such thing. Just reason for moment,
and figure ont whether the animal would
have over-drank and Over-chilled its stom-
ach if it had not been allowed to become
over-thirsty. a horse is a great deal like
a man. Let him get overworked, over
starved, or abused, and particularly for the
want of sufficient drink in warm weather,
and the consequences will always be injur-
ious. Sensible hostlers iB large cities are
awakening to the advantages of frequent
watering. Street car horses are watered
every hour. and sometimes oftener, while
they are at work 1t is plenty of water
that supplies evaporation or perspiration
and keeps down the temperature.
What old fogy methods amount to may
be seen by the change in medical practice
to man. Twenty years ago a person hav-
ing fever of any kind or pneumonia was
allowed but little water to drink, and then
it had to be tepid. To-day practitioners
prescribe all the iced water the patient can
possibly drink and in addition, cold ban
dages are applied to reduce and control
the temperature of the blood. What is
applicable to man will never injure horse.
Use common sense and human feeling.
Don't think it is horse and capable of
enduring any and all things. A driver
who sits in his wagon and lashes his worn
ont, half-curried, half-fed and half-watered
team should never complain of any abuse
he may receive from his master or en-
ployer, for he is lower in character, harder
in sympathy and less noble than the
brntes he is driving, and deserves, in the
name of all that is human, the punish
mont of n criminal

Caleb oushing's Curiosity.

Caleb Cushing's decisions while Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of Massa
ehusetts were the admiration of the Bar
but lawyers wondered at his familiarity
with the reports, knowingthat he had long
been out OF active practice. A writer ii
the Green Bay explains this familiarity by
the statement that Mr.. Gushing, on being
appointed to the Bench, prepared himself
by reading in nineteen days the fifty-seven
volumes of Massachusetts reports. His
habit, we are told, was to read every book
pamphlet or periodical that seemed likely
to crafty his intense thirst for knowledge.
When Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
appeared he read it through, word by word,
and corrected some mistakes. He sought
information from every source.
a lie would go into the street and ask
information from the shabbieSt negro if in
that way he could learn what he wished to
know, said one who was associated with
him in Washington.
lie once asked an acquaintance in whose
company he happened to be, what name
was given to the part left after a check
had been torn from Il check book The
gentleman could not inform him. 4 few
days after he received letter from Mr..
Gushing with the single word ''stub. -
Trivial as the question seemed he could not
rest until it was answered
at was not easy to start a topic Of which
he was ignorant, says the writer already
quoted. II took tea with him at the house
of his niece not long before he died and
during the conversation he turned to 4
niece and said Margaret, / see the la
dies are to wear so-and-so the coming sea-
son, giving in detail the new fashions
Mr.. Gushing excelled as linguist and
was said to be able to converse with all the
Foreign Ministers at Washington in their
own tongue. II is also stated that as our
Commissioner to China he negotiated the
first treaty without the aid of an interpreter
Industry, retentiye memory and a
methodical habit made him hngtlist and
what Bacon calls "a full man" He was
as methodical in arranging his time as in
classifying his papers. In his Office every
paper was in its place and during the day
every hour had its duty or work
A Washington real estate man, wishing
to show Mr. Gushing a piece of property,
was told to call at ) clock in the morning.
The man was not accustomed to such early
hours, but was advised by one who knew
Mr.. Cushing to be prompt As he drove
to the door at the appointed time Mr. Cush-
ing was on the steps.
He toiled all day, studied far into the
night and never seemed to know fatigue.

he was at home, no matter how late, that

known to be his habit to work till after

sumc his labors.'

Ravages of White Ants.

FROM Leisure HOur'
A statement by the British Vice Con
sui, Mr.. Warburton, at La Rochelle, re-
minds us of the terrible ravages, of the
Termites, known as sswhiie ants 1t
appears that many Of the public buildings
and private houses of La Rochelle are
being destroyed by thesepest introduced
from some tropical land about u century
ago, tile ants had for long time kept to Il
particular part of the town. but on the
demolition of some of the honses there,
the old wood was allowed to be carried
away, and the insects are now found in
every part of La Rochelle. In many
buildings it is necessary TO introduce iron
supports, to save them from tumbling into
ruins. Lirp@us spoke Of these ants as
''the great calamity Of both the indies :"
Wood is their favorite diet, and the only
timber safe from them is teak wood Tee
tona erandis and iron wood (Sideroxylum).
They tunnel through the vastest beams of
of buildings in every direction, leaving \
thin layer untouched on the outside, and
even coating the outside with clay to con-
ceal their ravages in the interior Hum
boldt says that in South America it is rare
to find papers of any antiquity. In one
night, everything left exposed, even boots
and shoes, disappear. Ships are some
times reduced to a condition sufficient to
account for ''foundering at sea during a
voyage. The Albion man-of-war had to
be broken up. after reaching England with
difficulty by being lashed together. If
they settle elsewhere in Europe as they
have done at La Rochelle, new peril viii
be added to life and civilization.

Rich Without Money.

Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich. A man born with a good,
sound constitution, good stomach, good
heart, good limbs and a pretty good head
piece, is rich. Good bones are better than
gold, tough muscles than silver, and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to every
function are better than houses and
land. II is better than landed estate
to have the right kind of father and
mother. Good breeds and had breeds
exist among men ss really as among herds
and hoTseE. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies or to develop good
ones but it is great thing to inherit the
right proportion of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has good disposition,
who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful,
hopeful, and who has flavor of wit and
fun in his composition. The hardest thing
to get on with in this life is mans own
self. A cross, selfish fellow, slespondent
and complaining fellow, timid and care
burdeped man, these are all born deformed
on the inside They do not limp, but their
thoughts sometimes do.

The Deadly Cold BED,


If trustworthy statistics could be had
of the number of persons who die every
year or become permanently diseased from
sleeping in damp or cold beds, they would
probably be astonishing and appalling, It
is peril that constantly hesets travelling
men, and If they are wise they viii inva-
riably insist on having their beds aired and
dried, even at the risk of causing much
trouble to their landlords But, according
to Good Housekeeping, it is y peril that
resides also in tho home, and the cold
Hspare room" has slain its thousands Of
hapless guests, and will 90 on with its
slaughter till people learn wisdom. Not
only the guest, but the family, often suffer
the penalty of sleeping in cold rooms aud
chilling their bodies, at time when they
need all their bodily heat, by getting be
tween cold sheets. Even in warm summer
weather cold, damp bed will get in its
deadly work. 1t is needless peril, and
the neglect to provide dry rooms and beds
has in it the elements Of murder and sui
eide.

One whose business it has been to find

loses his time looking for a fine voice in
country where fish or meat diet prevails.
Vocal capacity disappears in families as
they grow rich, because they eat more meat,
Those Italians who eat the most fish (thOse

in Irish women of the country, and not of
