DUTCH SIMPLICITY.

Harper's Young People.-I\empen, a
own in Holland on the lower Rhine
the birthplace of Thomas a kempis)
is q favorite residence of people with
small incomes. The imagination OF
heSe Dutchmen must be as limited as
heir incomes, judging of the dron sto-
les that are told of them.
At one time Il fire broke out and
much damage was done because the
ngines were out of repair. The coun-
il met, and after much argument it
Tas voted that on the eve pdeceding
very fire the town officers should care
ully examine the engines, pumps, etc.
One of the greatest profits of the
own was the toll eXacted at the gates.
he council wished to increase the in
ONE and instead of increasing the toll
voted to double the number of the
gates.
This same council also ordered the
I'm dial to be taken from the court
ouse common and placed under cover.
here it would. be protected from the
Weather.
But of all the queer things that are
old of Kempen and its people nothing
soabsurd as this: Grass grew on the
OPP Of a very high tower, and the only
way these drou Dutchmen could think
o get it off was to hoist a COW up and
ct her eat it.

ABOUT ABSORBENTS.

Western arm JOuInaI-The leading
dairymen are not only advocating alb
sorbents in the cutters OF the stables
to absorb the liquids and keep the stalls
as dry as possible. While the plaster
is OF great value to fix the ammonia.
it needs something to prevent 'slop"
about the COWS, and ''slOpS" soon mean
smells and foul orders that have no
place in a well regulated stable. 10
procure absorbents is on some farms
quite task, but where there is a dis
position to find them success is sure to
be met with. There is no better thing
than horse manure with which to till
excellent compost for crops, as the horse
manure is supp sed 20 carry to the ne.ds-

Neither Hammock Nor Tent.

Mr. Selous, the distinguished hunter

cen telling something OF his methods
,',eI in the wilds Of Africa, says the

v"r cared for personal comfort may
)e gathered from the remark that he
over thought of taking any sort of con-
eyance even to the extent of Il ham
mock for ease by day or rest by night,
and would not be encountered by u
ent. Fer weeks together, year after
ear, he slept on the ground, covered
My by something in the shape OF Il
blanket
Asked if there were no reptiles to
disturb repose under such conditions.
Mr.. Selous replied that, although veno-
nous snakes We're to be found, bites
from them We're very rare. and in all
,Ody, either native or European. who
had been killed by a snakebite in Ma
Onaland. I'm fact" he said, you run
more risk of being killed by an omnibus
London streets than we do by veno-
nous snakes in those African forests
And as to the malarial fever, of which
so much has been heard lately, he
thought nervous travellers, or the i'll
vent0rs Of travellers stories, had eXag-
eerated it's deadly effects a great deal.
When exposed to all the discomforts of
this tropical climate in rainy seasons
years ago, Mr.. Selous had several at
lacks of fever; but during his latest
s)iOurn of three Or four years in Ma
sonaland he has felt no SYMPTOMS of it.

The trunk of rose bush Or tree which

which juts out at a height of about
four feet from the ground, is eight in

1t now covers an area of nearly 1000
