DRIVING BACK TIE OCEAN

merged Land In Holland.

| merger Lana IN HOLLAND.
The people Of Holland have under
taken a gigantic work by means of
which they expect TO recover the larger
part Of the territory now covered by the
Zuyder Zee, the inland sea of the coun-
try, and turn 1t again into fertile
farming region, II Is now just five GEN.
turtles since the inundation of that part
Of the Netherlands now covered by the
Zuyder Zee was completed, the encroach-
ments of the sea having been going ON
for 225 years, previous to which time
the territory was covered with forests.
By the most stupendous exertions
about $50 square miles of country have
already been recovered by an elaborate
dixie system, which has gradually re-
claimed section after section that was
lost, but the new scheme transcends the
previous work in extent and Importance.
The towns Of the region, which had be-
come of considerable Importance as sea-
ports through the bringing of the wa
tiers OF the ocean to their doors, have lost
considerable of that Importance through
the difficulties of navigation and the
transfer of the trade to the North Hol-
land canal and the Y ship canal, which
connects the metropolis with the ocean.
On this account the remnants Of com
merce are not worth as much to the
towns as the country would be after it
is reclaimed, and therefore there is gen
eral acquiesence in the plan to drive the
ocean out.
On account Of the great cost it will
be distributed over period of 33 years,
SO as to make it less oppressive and to
make the benefits gradually bear their
share of the expense. A colossal sea wall
is first to be built from North Holland
to Friesland, shutting out the tides of
the ocean. This wall will be 2l6 feet
wide at the base, and the top will be II
feet above the sea level, while along the
inner side and at some distance below
the top will be track wide enough for
a wagon road and railway.
After the sea is barred out the inclosed
space to be reclaimed will inclose with
IN separate embankments four areas CON
tanning in the aggregate 100 square
miles. One of these areas will be first |
drained by pumping the water over the
the water finding its way |
to the sea through the main channel, |
and as the shallower portions became ex-
posed they will be successfully brought
under cultivation. 1t is calculated that
within ten years $4,000 acres can be
made annually available and in the end
the inland sea will be reduced to chan
mel about Is miles wide called the
Ysselmeer, communicating with the
sea by locks at Wieringen, with Amster-
dam by branch three miles wide
and by another with the mouth of the
Yssel. The plan has received the sane
lion Of the government, and the engi
aeers pronounce 1t feasible milwaukee

twenty years ago tho bookseller Pot
tier was the best known puvoyor 10 The
book lovers, and every day defiled into
his shop q brilliant assembly Oh eele,
brated book buyers.
One morning Paulin Paris, the Mar
quis Ganay, M. do Lignorolles and NJ.
Yemeniz met in his shop, but POTTER
was not there He had left the day be.
fore for Brussels
What is bookseller to do in Brussels
If not to buy an extraordinary booky
Thus thought the four book lovers,
and at once in their four minds came
the same idea-"What may l do to
meet POTTER before any one else?"
The next morning at 6 80 Ganay
came to Pottior's shop. None of his ri
walls was there. He rubbed his hands
in glee,
But Paulin Paris had got mp earlier.
At $50 he was walking ON the uuays
of the station, waiting for the Brussels
train, proud that none of his rivals had
had the same idea
He had counted, alas without Yeme-
niz, who had gone to Creil to meet the
train.
The train arrived. Ycmeniz rushed
into tho compartment occupied by the
bookseller, affected surprise at seeing
him, and after thousand preliminary
remarks asked him what he had bought
at Brussels.
The noise of the conversation woke a
neighbor in an opposite corner. Tbs
neighbor was no other than M. dc Lig-
nerolles, who had gone to Brussels to
meet the bookseller.
Nobody has ever known what book
POTTER bought at Brussels.
But the anecdote was soon known,
and POTTER never talked without smil-
ing of his trip to Brussels, where he had
gone to collect an inheritance from an
uncle. Paris Figaro,

WHEELS OF RESTAURANT REFORM.
Made to Spin by a Jealous Lover Of Truth
In Tempting Signs.

A reformer, with cast iron principles
OF justice, can find plenty of odd jobs to
fill In his spare moments. Firmness, to-
gether with judicious display of con-
seIpent1al Importance, will often make
the laws of corporations totter, and
pat argument bring them to the ground
There was sign in the window of a
New York ice cream "parlor" reading,
TRY our strawberry ice cream with the
strawberries frozen in" When those
cooling words caught the eye of the re-
former on recent hot day, his wilted
spirits revived and he entered the place
radiating peace and good will
Strawberry" he said confidently,
beaming upon the presiding Hebe. Then
he sat back and thought how good the
frozen Strawberries were going to taste.
When the dish was brought, he scanned
it closely, but failed to see any material
signs of the berries.
Where are the strawberries?" he ask
ed, the genial expression giving way to
one of stern inquiry.
"There amt none in dish cream"
said Hebe. "Only our quart bricks has
the strawberries frozen in"
What do you mean, then, said the
customer, humping the floor with his
stick, by putti\t such sign in the
window? That is promise that this
firm is bound to fulfill Z want some
cream with Strawberries frozen in. l
insist upon having it. If the public in
general consents to be bamboozled by
that fake sign, don't; SO run right
along and get me some frozen strawber-
ries. 7"
II tell you we don't sell 1t by the
plate. said Hebe, who was beginning
to show symptoms Of hysteria.
IN have a plate Of it," said the
man, "or the firm must take in that
sign and make me an apology"
The girl then left the field to the pro-
prietor, who approached the customer
with conciliatory smile.
VERY sorry, SIR" said he. "but we
are just out of strawberry ice cream"
docs the sign come DOWN."
''It does. "
And now the reformer goes three
blocks out Of his way to pass that store
for the sake Of experiencing again the
satisfaction Of an accomplished purpose.

Why Dentistry Pays at the seashore.

The number Of dentists signs OH the
houses and Office buildings in all the
Jersey seashore resorts is such as to ex-
cite wonder. As one tourist recently ex-
pressed 1t, Zone would think the people
Of New York went there to have their
teeth attended to" Between Seabright
and Ocean Grove there are as many
dentists as should expect to find occupa-
ton in city of considerable size.
1.-THE fact is, said one Of the den
lists, THAT not only the New Workers.,
but the Philadelphians and plenty of
folks from other cities as we'll, do come
here to have their teeth fixed. They do
not know it when they arrange to 20 to
the seaside, but they find it out when
they get here, and their teeth begin to
throb with pain. The reason is that the
change of air, the tonic effect of the
change and the active, invigorating
outdoor life which the summer idlers
lead strengthens and stimulates them
Their hearts work quicker and with
more strength, and if there is weak
spot anywhere about them the pressure
of the excited circulation calls it into
notice. So it is that teeth which gave
no trouble IN the cities throb with pain
at the seashore. New York Sun.

Two Vice Presidents.o

know of no two lives in all Ameri-
can history which have been ordered in
such sharp and instructive contrast from
beginning to ending as the lives of these
two men. One of them sprang from one
OF the proudest and most aristocratic as
well as ablest and most powerful of the
ruling families of Sentucky; the other
was of an origin SO humble and obscure
that it could hardly be traced. One was
born at the open gate Of fortune, influ-
ence and opportunity; the other was
born in the lap of squalid want Both
set out in life under the influence of a
controlling ambition. One thirsted for
glory and power and fame; the other to
be emancipated from poverty and neg
lect.
The career of Breckenridge lay along
an even pathway lighted up from the
outset with the encouraging smiles Of
influential friends and overhung with
tempting prizes, which he gathered thick
and fast at every step, while Wilson be-
gan the ascent of a steep and rugged
mountain path alone and toiled upward
without help, beset by discouragements, !
confronted all the way with difficulties
and cheered byno light ahead or reward (
IN sight The vice presidency came to !,
Breckenridge almost by force of gravity, |
as ripe fruit drops into basket ready to !.
receive it. 1t came to Wilson as tribute |
to life of toll spent in the uplifting of |
downtrodden humanity. A just people
has placed the cypress upon the grave of !,
one and the laurel on the grave of the
other. Henry L. Dawes in Century.
