A DEBT TO THE DUTCH.

Even New England Traces Many OF Her
Penates to Holland.
Even In Connecticut was the skill of the
Knickerbockers admired. A new invention
or improvement was said to "beat the
Dutch" The delft tiles on the hearth,
the crookery on the dresser, the blue tiles
lining the front of the fireplaces in the best
houses, show how the Dutch had part in
the evolution of the New England house.
Hundreds of open fireplaces in New Eng
land were decorated with these tiles after
the Dutch fashion and contained not only
"proverbs in porcelain but abundant Bib
lical illustration. From the evidences of
relics nearly as much of the imported fine
furniture in the northern colonies came
from Holland as from England. Not few
of the old teapots and other table service
which followed upon the Introduction Of
those oriental hot drinks which drove out
the beer and tankards, did indeed come
over from Holland, though not on the May
flower, as so often anachronistically al
legged.
When, too, the open fireplace gradually
gave way to supposed Improvement. it was
to a Dutch thing with Dutch name-the
stove. Not only in Plymouth, hut else
where, numerous houses had what can be
occasionally seen throughout New Eng
land today--nor by this do we mean the
later substitute of tina Dutch oven. 1t
was under this spacious dome Of brick and
clay that those famous articles of Yankee
diet-the pumpkin pie, brown bread,
baked beans and fish balls-had their evo-
luton. No smoker of tobacco in the snow
white meerschaum reiOiced more in his col
oring of the sea foam clay than did the rosy
housewives Of Massachusetts, bay in the
rich hues of bean, bread and fish. The
Browning clubs of early days met in the
kitchen rather than in the parlor or ven
dome.

1t would be quite worth while for the
average young woman who desires to pre-
sent an attractive appearance to go to some
high class hairtlrcsser and obtain direc-
tions for doing her hair, or at least n
model from which to work. 1t would save
her great deal of anxiety and trouble
unless indeed she be one of that variable
sort that is satisfied with nothing save for
very short time. Every head and face
has some eminently suitable style, and
this should be followed, to a certain extent
at least, during the woarer's entire life
time. Marie Antoinette, Martha Washing
ton and other notable women would
scarcely seem like themselves with their
hair arranged in the frivolous fashion that
many women of the day affect. Imagine
Frances Willard with her hair in straight
bang or George Eliot in n false front and

ulous in the extreme. 1t is only usage

per cent of the labor employed in the
factories of Michigan has been laid off
since the wave of Democratic prosperity
struck the country. A comparative
canvass shows that 4S, 752 factory en-
ployes have gone from steady employ
ment and good wages to idleness and
no wages. In addition To this evidence
of the power of adverse tariff legislation
and Democratic misrule to paralyze in
dustry and labor, the statistics show
that there has been an average reduc-
ton of about 10 per cent in the wages
of factory workers employed. Labor
Commissioner Morse says these figures
are intended to be conservative, and
the utmost cafe has been exercised in
their preparation. If they are reliable,

WHERE SOAP GROWS.
Why the state of Nevada Can Wash Its

is manufactured and In such general use
The exhibit WAS taken from natural
mine. The mine is on the line OF the Gem
trail Pacific railroad, ana il is said that
1t is the only mine Of the sort known.
This soap. says the Washington Post, is
one Of the things about which Nevada
people like To talk. one Of them said.
we have enough natural soap TO wash
all the soilcd linen Of our State. We can
wash out any State or national blOtch
which may be placed on our escutcheon.

became necessary. a man in Nevada has
no occasion 10 80 dirty. AS soon as the
mine Is n little more fully developed we
shall lay claim to being the cleanest
State In the Union. The soap fathers with
ease and the children in its vicinity play
with soap-bubbles instead OF dolls. The
soap In this wonderful mine Is imbedded
there as compsstly as blue clay.
You know" this enthusiastic citizen
went on to say, that in Florida they
have a tree the bark OF which when it is
dried makes good towels. In fact, 1t is
called the towel tree. ! expect as soon
as the soap-mine is more fully developed
n company will be formed which Will
transplant the Florida towel trees TO
Nevada, and then We will invite the ma
tons OF the earth to move out to Nevada
and get washed.
