Hill In Holland.
tasks

1t seems ansurd to speak of a hill in
Holland for if the best guessers are right,
the name of the country is from our word
hollow, meaning depression in the land
but Captain Knight found Mt Groningen n
hill that was The show place of the town.
1t was artificial.
"There is fine hill in the Plantaage, 1"
said my companion, and from the sum
nit of it you will be able to see the coun-
try for great distance around"
1t interested me greatly to hear that
there was such a thing as hill in Hol-
land.
But where is itS' 1 asked, looking
around the interininable plain. Il can see
no hill"
1T is just over there, but you cannot
see it, for it is hidden by that bush. ="
assembled this fine hill, which proved
to be an artificial mound not 20 feet in
height, but the natives are very proud of
1t and speak of it as if 1t were some huge
mountain. AS an instance of how success
fully a Groningener is deceived by his ad-
miration for it l may mention that my
companion heaved deep sigh, mopped
his face and dropped exhausted into a
chair-thoughtfully placed there by the
corporation for this object - when he
reached the summit But to do this emf
hence justice it must be allowed that the
hill is beyond dispute above the level OF
the sea.-Youth's Companion.

Two women met as perfect strangers in
the Adirondacks ono summer, and, being
mutually attracted, pleasant acquaint
Rnoe resulted. Quite early in its develop
ment one said to the other, "Where do you

In New York, - was the reply.
Indeed 30 do l, in --th street, 4"
mentioning street quite far up town.
"Why, l live in that same one, said her
friend; at SO. What is your number"
"Now, really" the other exclaimed
"Why, mine is 6lr'
And, upon closer inquiry, they found
that for two years they had lived next door
to each other, only brick wall of parti-
ton dividing them, in houses owned by
the same man, and yet had not only never
met nor become familiar with each other 5
personality, but also had apparently never
even seen each other in all that time but
became well acquainted in summer re-
sort many miles from New York.-New

WOMEN IN HISTORY.
The French Revolution, Queen Elizabeth
and Catherine IL of Russia.

Woman's record in the first French rev
olution was one of cruelty and horror.
The patriot Knitters, as they were
called, could shrek or knit, according to
the requirements of the case. They could
also urge men to deeds of violence, and
could themselves do violent deeds. Carlyle
said that these women had exchanged the
"distaff for the dagger If they had kept
the distaff and let the dagger alone, France
would have lost nothing in the way of po-
litical advancement and might have been
spared much of her horrifying history.
There was an entire absence of any politi-
cal publication in their influence.
There is no name in history of which
women boast more than that of Queen
Elizabeth, always quoting her in evidence
of what women might do could they be
intrusted with affairs of state. Froude, in
summing up his exhaustive work on the
time of Queen Elizabeth, wrote:
THE great results of her reign were the
fruits of policy which was not her own
and which she starved and mutilated when
energy and completeness were needed. She
was remorseless when she ought to have
been most forbearing, and lenient when
she ought to have been stern. She owed
her safety and success to the incapacity
ana DIVISIONS Oh ner enemies, rauner unan
to wisdom and resolution of her own"
Humiliating as it may be to those wo-
men who clamor for a voice in national
affairs, the historical truth is that the
splendors of the Elizabethan age were due
to her ministers, Burleigh and Walsing-
ham.
Catherine II of Russia is also great
favorite with the new woman. One of
them has said, Next to the great Peter,
she was the ablest administrator Russia
has ever known" In the life and reign of
Catherine ii, empress of Russia-she who
became such through the murder of htr
husband, in which crime she had borne
full well her share-there is but little to
admire or emulate. She was unquestion-
ably woman cf great talents and energy,
but her morals were no better than Nine.

WHERE ANCHORS ARE MADE.
An Industry That FIourishes Best In Cam
den, Me.

There is larger number of ships an
ohors manufactured In the little town OF
Camden, Me-, than at all the other places
in this country combined. All OF the
stately ships that come out of the Maine
shipyards look to the village on Penobscot
bay for their anchors. Study smiths
swing their hammers day sitter day oil the
year long In the black, smoky, long, low
Camden shops, where only anchors are
forged. Sometimes the trip hammers are
going all night about the FORCES, and the
blazing of the fires and the ring of the
hammers are seen and heard for miles
across the bay.
Thousands of tons of old iron are pur-
chased by these queer Camden establish
ments every year, for anchors are forged
largely from cast off iron. The material is
cut into small pieces by great shears that
clip through the iron as easily as cheese
knife slices cheese. The pieces are bound
into bundles by strong wires and are then
fused in the furges. Then they are pounded
and welded into the various parts of the
anchor, some workmen fashioning rings,
others shaping the hukes, others ham,
mering out the palms and others forg-
ing the shanks. Then the "completers"
take the different parts and fuse and weld
them into the finished anchor. Anchors
Of oil sizes and weights are turned out
from the noisy shops of Camden, from the
graceful little pleasure boat anchor, weigh
ing but few pounds, to the great 5000
and $500 pound anchors for the biggest
ships.
The visitor in Camden will see many in
teresting relics in the line of rusty and
broken anchors that did duty in their day
on famous merchant vessels, historic war
ships and sturdy whalers. the anchor of
the famous frigate Cumberland was re-
paired and fitted with new stock at tt 0
Camden works and is now at sea on the
forecastle of a big ship. The old stock
was splintcred up for the qualification of
relic hunters, and there is only silver or
two of the historic wood left in Camden.
This was the anchor which went down
with the Cumberland when she sank after
her fight with the Merrimac in Hampton
Roads; hence the great demand for splin-
tiers of the stock.
There are something like 5000 people

The Docks of Liverpool.

No description can convey an adequate
impression of the vastness of the Liverpool
docks, of their cyclopean architecture, OF
their gigantic trade. Liverpool, as city,
has claims to admiration-claims that are
seldom duly honored by the multitudes
who hasten through it on their way into
or out of England. Still there are other
cities more beautiful, more Imposing. 1t
is the labor of Aid. Philip l..thbones life
to make it the Venice of the north, and o
Rathbone the son of the man who laid the
foundation stone of Elme's magnificent
St. Georges hail. may do much in Liver
pool. The time has not yet come, how
ever, when Liverpool requires Ruskin.
But if passers may be forgiven for ignor-
ing the city-or the "good old town, as
it used to be affectionately styled-they are
to be pitied If they do not make full use of
the opportunity of seeing and studying the
most splendid dock system in the world.
In the olden world the marvels of con-
struction were the palaces, temples, amphi-
theaters. The wonders today is making,
to leave for the admiration of the touring
New Zealander, are bridges, viaducts,
canals, docks. 1t is the era of commerce.
When it is over; when mankind evolves to
state of scientifically ordered pleasure
ana lulenessi WHICH luNentlon auu enler-
prise rank as capital crimes against the
felicities of existence then will our distant
and degenerate posterity gaze on the
mighty ruins of the Liverpool docks with
"a reverance akin to that with which we
cape at Baalbec, the Coliseum, the me-
dieval cathedrals and castles, the Athe-
MAN Acropolis, the pyramids.
In all the locks, docks and basins have
quay space of near 26 miles, in addition
to which Birkenhead boasts miles more
making grand total of 30 miles. Besides
which there are craving docks, with 1
gross floor length of 1919 feet.-Pal
