SOARING TRAVELLERS AWAY.
EXtortionate Hotel Charges in Holland
Keep Strangers at Distance.

EXtortionate Hotel Charges in Holland
Keep Strangers ut IA Distance.
Considering how near Holland is to
England, comparatively few tourists
visit the former country. This may be
explained by the fact that life is alb
surdly, unjustifiably dear. The hotel
accommodation is not particularly
good, and the charges are double those
made in Belgium. This is the more
extraordinary as the cost of materials
for living is cheaper in Holland than
in Belgium. The proprietor of one
hotel at Brussels has been chef at one
of the principal hotels at The Hague
for several years. He therefore knew
exactly the cost of living in both
towns. Holland, having vast colonies,
has sugar, spice, coffee, tea and many
other articles cheaper than Belgium.
Meats and butter are also cheaper.
Nevertheless, where in Belgium the
traveller will pay at restaurant
franc for dish, he will be charged a
form in Holland, and this is Just
double as much. Instead of two, three
| or four francs for room in hotel, it
| is an equal number of fiorins There
is no reason whatsoever to justify
these heavy charges They are kept
up only by reason of the narrow
minded policy of the Dutch hotel keep
ers and tradesmen. The Dutch do not
understand that Belgium is as near to
England as to Holland, that there is
quite as much to see in Belgium as
in Holland, and that most of the Bel
gians speak French. This latter is
considerable advantage, for great
number Of American and English trav-
elers and tourists can speak French,
but hardly any of them can speak
Dutch. Under all these circumstances
and so as to compete with Belgium,
Holland ought to be as cheap as its
neighbor. There are no natural causes
to prevent this being the case. On the
contrary, and in consequence Of it's
colonial possessions, life in Holland
might be made cheaper than in Bel
gium. The reverse is the case.
| But the Dutch are an extraordinarily
obstinate people. They will not change
their habits. Some years ago cele-
brated French purveyor came and
J established himself at The Hague.
Every one who knows something of
the refinements of life knows what a
blessing these purveyors are. You
have clumsy cook, you send out for
three or four made dishes, and you can
give dinner At for prince. With
such tradesman in the town all the
hotel keepers could put the most com.
plicatcd dishes ON their bills of fare.
They had to send to the tradesmen in
l n,,acfinn and tho diah xxy,,,1d ho f<,,%I
coming in very short time and pre-
pared to the utmost perfection. Also,
such purveyor has everything that
can be required on an emergency,
whether 1t be suffran for bouillia baisse,
curry powder or swallows nests for
soup. The tradesmen of The Hague,
however, leagued themselves against
him, and the French purvcyor, after
struggle OF three years and the loss OF
9 large sum Of money, had to leave -
despair. Philadelphia Telegraph.

SLEEPY MARSHAL BAZAlNE.
Overpowering Somnolencc of tho Mai

Overpowering Somnolencc of tho Man
Who Gave Metz to the Germans.
A curious and apparently original an
ecdote about the late Marshal Bazaine
is related to-day. Itrefers to the sleepy
habits of the man who delivered Metz
to the Germans. The author of the an
ecdote is Lieut.. Evmard, who was per-
manent officer of the guard in the
house at Versailles where the marshal
was under arrest while awaiting the
court-martial.
One day Nine. Bazaine, Mexican by
birth, came to NJ. Eymard and asked
him to be good enough to receive Queen
Isabella, of Spain, who was expected in
the afternoon. Her Majesty intended,
it appears to pay visit to the prison
er. At about 1:15 o'clock the queen ar
rived, accompanied by her son. after
ward Alfonso XII, and her two daugh-
, ters. M. Eymard went to meet the
royal party, and, as he says himself.
not having been brought up in courts,
but camps, he committed the awful Of
fense of shaking the queens hand "a
rAnglaize, instead of kissing it, re-
spectfully. The queen uttered cry of
|
another surprise in store for her. The
lieutenant of the guard went in to ap-
prize Marshal Bazaine of the royal
visit, expecting to find him ready for
it. The marshal was, however, having
his forty winks, and although violent
ly shaken by the officer still snored or
heavily.
Eventually NJ. Eymard, being utterly
unable to arouse the sleeper, had to in
form Queen Isabella of the semi-coma
tose condition of the marshal. Tho
queen, evidently annoyed, returned
with her children to her carriage ant
departed. Almost immediately after
ward Nine. BaZaine entered. The of

FEEDING PROFITABLY.
It Is Business to BE Conducted on Busl
ness Principles.

1t Is a Business to BE Conducted on Busi-
ness Principles.
The feeding of stock both during
growth and to prop erly finish for mar
ket should be done on business princi-
pies. The amountof feed required to
make pound of gain should be known
as we'll as the manner of combining the
different materials SO as to form the
best returns to secure the purpose for
which it is being given.
1t is necessary to know what it costs
to grow an animal for market, and this
can only be known by knowing the
value of the pasturage and feed given.
Get the cost of properly fitting an
animal for market, and it is compara-
lively easy when it is sold to know
whether or not it has returned fair
profit.
So long as there is sc much variation
in the results secured in feeding we can
hardly determine which is the best
course to follow in feeding. While much
has been gained in reference to inn
proved methods of feeding, yet there is
much variation as regards the rations
that will secure the best results.
OF course, in summer grass can be
made the principal ration. especially
with nearly or quite all growing ami
mails But in many cases, and es-
pecially when it is desired to push the
growth, something in addition must be
supplied There are few farmers that
can make up the ration that will be the
very best that can be supplied.
In fattening, the farmer that has
plenty of corn will feed it almost ex.
clusively. Another will feed middlings,
not because he believes middlings are
best, but because he has not the corn,
and concludes it is cheaper to buy
middlings than corn. The same holds
good with nearly all kinds of materials
used for feeding stock, and with all
classes Of animals ration is given. not
because it is known to be the best for
the purpose to be secured, but because
It is most convenient. A better
knowledge about feeding would not
only lessen the risk of loss, but in very
many cases would increase the profits
The man who knows how to feed
not only as to the best quantity, but
the best rations. will be able under
nearly all conditions to realize the
best profits; and, while much may bt
learned from others, there is nothing
that will equal our own careful ex
periences. es.-Prairie Farmer

Many buildings have unoccupied roof

How to Re Successful In Raising the
Feathcred ArtstOcrata.

Feathered Aristocrata.
There are some kinds of aristocracy
in this world which display too much
human nature as far as companionship
or social intercourse is concerned, but
included among these are certainly not
those charming creations whose robes
are of feather instead of broadcloths or
silks, but whose blood is as blue as the
bluest, and whose pedigrees are as long
as the longest. Comparionship with
pigeons the feathered aristocrats,
brings one into a kind of society that Is
very real and makes no pretense Of be-
ing other than it is.
To find the origin of pigeon breeding
one would have to go far back into past
ages. Variety after variety has been
produced. Varieties have been made to
take on many peculiarities of form and
color. Doctors, lawyers, preachers,
statesmen and men in all other profes-
sions and walks of life have been most
eager admirers and breeders of these
| feathered beauties The interest be.
slowed upon the pigeon fancy has been
| very great. Fabulous sums have been
expended for single specimens of par
ticular variety, and years have been
spent in mating and breeding these
birds to secure coveted characteristic.
The greatness of this work and the sue
cess which has attended it can be well
understood if one makes a visit to a
pigeon exhibition and notes the almost
infinite number of varieties that now
exist, and the very great diversity
among them in color and form.
The beginner in pigeon keeping
should visit one of the many poultry
exhibitions. Here will be seen the tall
and stately pouter, with his enormous
protuberance of breast, making q bal.
loon of himself with his curious power
of initiating the air sacs near the lungs
A most interesting bird is the pouter
but hardly suitable for a beginners
loft. Here also will be seen the dainty
turbits, the owls, the tumblers and ;
host of others, but to my mind the
most satisfactory stock for beginner
to put in his newly-made pigeon lof
would be either the fantails or the

PESSIMlSM AND DISEASE.
Gloomy Views of Life Only ENTERTAINED
by Unhealthy Minds.

The final question of all mature pes
simism-Is life worth living?-is in
itself proof of diseased mind. The
healthy mind never asks it. Indeed,
we have not penetrated very deeply
into the spirit of pessimism if we have
not discovered that, in its intense form,
it is invariably accompanied by ILL
health or bodily weakness or abnormal
sensitiyeness to physical influences.
OF Leopard we read, in the pages of
his latest biographer, that 'he was
won't to turn night into day He
| breakfastcd between three and five
o'clock in the afternoon, and dined
about midnight. The mere
names of wind, cold and snow We're
enough to pale him. He could not bear
fire, and formerly used to pass the win
ters three parts submerged in sack of
| feathers, reading and writhing thus the
greater part of the day"
OF such unhealthy habits and of the
constant physical misery which ensued,
partly from them and partly from 9th
er causes, the catalogues are in no
sense a surprising result. And Leo
pardi is only one among the great and
decrepit army of pessimists. a pitia-
BILE multitude, we see them driven or
dragged, or tottering across the arena
of thought in various stages of bodily
suffering or decay; some the sub

If these men had been sound of liml
