HOW DUrcHMEN SKATE
Not Only . Natlona! Pastims hue
Business.


Skating Is part Of the business OF
winter Holland. as we'll as q health.
full pastime. In many districts ut
this season II becomes the easiest
and quickest mode OF travelling from
the villages ana farmhouses to the
market towns. The most noted dis.
play OF this art, however, as SPORT
i've accomplishment is ut Slikkerveer,
on the Mas. some miles above Rot.
tertlam, under the direction OF the
Dutch Skating association. The
skates used have very long runners
and points curving back ut the toes.
The ice here Is not that OF the river.
but large space obtained by flood
ing the low ground adjacent. A
party Of skaters will join together.
holding u long pole under their arms.
At Slikkerveer being place very
accessible from such towns as Rot
terdam and bort, most OF the skaters
are townsfolk, and few quaint rustic
dresses IRE to be seen.
1t Is different In some of the north.
ern and eastern provinces, especially
Friesland, where the peasantry and!
welltodo farmers, with tho women,
folk, still wear their ancient cos.
tunes. The shores and isles OF the
Zuyder Zee, indeed. exhibit much
that Is curiously old fashioned In the
manners and habits of the people.
Volendam Is on tho west coast Of
that wide shallow gulf which tho
Dutch government now contemplates'
draining and reclaiming to the extent
Of two.thirds Its area. The fisher
mems households contain many
specimens OF old china or porcelain,
carved woodwork, silver plate and
embroidery, worth putting on the
shelves OF q museum.
The holiday dress OF the men Is q
tight jacket, OF maroon color, with
silver buttons, which Is slashed In
front to show the gay red or blue
shirt, huge baggy trousers, boots and
furred cap; while their wives and
daughters or sisters, in white muslin,
caps with long pendants, golden,
plates or golden spiral ornaments ut
tho sides OF the forehead. and frocks,
Of thick woollen striped black and
blue, make an equal show Of the good
old times.
The little isle Of Marker, five miles
out from Volendam, Ia q mere sand
bank or mudbank, with u thousand
inhabitants living In clusters Of
wooden cottages, onestoried, rooted
with tiles and painted red, blue or
green. This small isolated COM,
munity Is thought to be the remnant
OF a peculiar race, more ancient than
the Hollanders Of tho mainland.
They have customs and traditions Of
their own, and whenever any OF them
appear in the street of Amsterdam
he ut once excites the notice OF city
people. Markem will be submerged
forever, but full compensation will
be paid to it's inhabitants II ever tho
Zuyder Zoe draining schemes be
carried into effect,

Utiilty OF the Ants.

The different species OF ants are
pretty generally distributed over tho
globe, and on this account the nat
uralists infer that there is work for
them to do in the great economy Of
the universe. In each colony males,
females, neuters and sometimes
soldiers are to be recognized. The
males are invariably smaller thar the
females, and, like those of the fem
mime gender, have wings in THEN
original state. The neuters, which
are the workers, are without wings
in any OF their transformations, and
the soldiers are recognized by the
armor plates on their heads.

would peacefully accept the new con-
dition OF affairs This she refused,
and now she finds herself accused OF
crime, the punishment OF which
will be determined by the magma

The Gold Drain,
To the Editor OF the Dlspatch.

~ tHt I>ClNuT Oh the DlSpdtcn.
In an editorial in to-days Dispatch
GOth) "A Great Disaster Avoided" you
quote Senator Hill as saying that IAN
other drain on our gold would or might,
soon take place" Could you suggest any
reason for this gloomy prognostic OF the
Senator's, coming, as ii does. upon the
heels Of what the first financial paper
in the country speaks of as the aversion
Of great Disaster" Further, | would
say that many Of your readers, unskilled
in finance, would like 10 hear why there
should be repeated drains upon our gold
unless IL Is being manipulated by the
great New York banking-houses for their
sole profit. This country certainly cannot
be much indebted to foreign nations in
the natural course OF trade, as that noto-
riously has been very much reduced in
volume. The ease with which our govern
ment securities are placed abroad does
not indicate any lessening Of the national
credit why, then, should there be any
heavy draft on our reserve except for the
purpose Indicated? l have heard IL alleged
as "A reason that the Treasury is likely at
any time 10 be raided by the holders OF
greenbacks. and the gold drawn below
the legal limit. But cui bono. except TO
the money-changers aforesaid? The result
of all this financial tinkering in Congress
Is enough TO make one despair OF the
republic. There il either hopeless selfish
ness or hopeless ignorance. OF real states
manship there appears to be very little.
zee
England holds millions and millions OF
dollars worth OF our bonds, stocks. and
other securities. Upon these We must pay
interest in gold. When they are sold to
Americans they are sold for gold. 1t
seems that many Of these securities are
coming back upon us. And II is also
doubtless true that the Wall street manip-
ulators work" the gold drain for ''ali
that II is worth."-The Dispatch.

4 VERSATILE MATHEMtTiCIaN.
She L. Vow Mrs. Herbert becrh"hm
Tree, wife Of the English Actor

\ dozen years ago there was slender
graceful student at Queens College, In
London When any one asked the clever
Young woman what she intended 70 30
With all tn classics and mathematics
she spent eight hours.a day acquiring she
replied enthusiastically. Il intend 10 be-
come the finest mathematician In Great
Britain" Al, but you Will marry some
dqy. her friends would argue. and then
what's 10 become OF your Greek roots ana
pons aslnorums? They will DO you no
good I'm dischargng th cook and curing
the Group. But | shall never marry re-
Piled this studious English maiden. Il
shall take the senior vrangleship instead
Of the marriage vow. and a professor $
chair instead 81 a hOusekeep RS chate-
laine." and hsr learned instructors would
nod their heads in approval and say. "Ah.
but what brain FOR mathematics she
has"
This Maud Holt. lady and scholar, is
now Mrs Herbert crbohm Tree wife
OF the distinguished English actor and
manager II the llaymarket Theatre. Lon
don, AMI occupies the position OF leading
lady In his company. When her friends
look AZ the daiut.ly-kept house in London
and see the two h-althy, attractive chi 20
drcn that belong there. they think that
years OF delving into ahs,ruse subjects Is,
after all. probably good training for "A
housewife. At any rate. Mr.. Beerbohm
Tree has no reason 10 complain of his
wife's higher education. for she fills with
grace and competency that triangle Of
positions that make up a perfect wife an
artistic hepmate. a mother, and house
keeper.
Mrs. Tree acted for the first time with
amateurs at country house. Her hus-
hand was 80 pleased with her work that
he at once pat her in his own company
Now. when friends twit her with her
change Of profession she only says
"W4ll. It's very nice II have your VOca-
ton decided for you, then. after all. the
training in mathematics hasn't hurt my
present work. / can keen house and tend
to the babies as well as If / had given
my years OF study - that aim"
Mrs. Trees domestic ability 0or all
confess 10 is. at least. encouraging TO
women and men of to-day. To the wo-
men, for they can adopt the higher edu-
cation In their girlh0vl and still be
converted into notably excellent house
wives; and hope To the men, for they
may take this clever woman as an ex-
ample, and not fear the passing away Of
good mothers and wives.
