Tho traveller is impressed with tho fact
that Holland is emphatically n country of
large towns, no loss than 40 having above
10000 population, more than 100, 600
and (Amstcrdam) upward of 800, 900 in
habitants. The larger towns are sur
rounded by market gardens, many of
which are small, every inch of land being
cultivated to tho highest possibility Of
productiveness. These small gardeners do
not keep horses as beasts of burden, since
their maintenance would involve q toe
considerable expense. They employ dogs,
which are as much members of the family
ms tho sons or daughters. These dogs arc
powerful brutes, capable of drawing loads
out of oil proportion to their size
The custom Of smoking is so prevalent
In Holland that genuine Dutch boor,
instead of describing distances between
places by miles or hours, will say a town
or house is SO many pipes away Thus
man may reach Delft from Rotterdam In
four pipes, but if he go ON to Tho Hague
no Will consume seven pipes during the
Journey. All Dutchmen of the lower
class, and not few in the higher walks
of life, carry In their pockets all requisites
for smoking--an enormous box holding Mt
least half u pound of tobacco, pipe of
clay or ivory according to inclination or
means, instruments to cleanse 1t, a prick
or to remove distractions from the stem,
cover OF brass to prevent sparks or ashes
from lying about, and a bountiful supply
of matches. A Dutchman in Holland
without Pipe would be q rara avis, and
such pipes! Some of them are of an an
tiquity which entities them to venerntion,
but certainly not to respect, and so mon
strous in size that rs weapons Of offense or
defense they would certainly provo for
midable
Tho chief characteristics of the Dutch
arc patience, ingenuity and perseverance,.
Their natural temperament is phlegmatic,
and the results achieved by their labors
are due rather to continued application
than arduous exertion. The love of money
is their ruling passion and the handspring
of all their actions, and as their energies
arc concentrated upon ways and means to
procure 1t no people arc SO unsociable
They seem to have no time for the practice
Of the various social amenities which In
other countries soften the asperities Of OK
istence. They speak little and laugh less
But their appearance and expression give
a poor Indication Of their sterling quail
ties. Their general truthfulness, sincerity
and honesty arc evident to every one whose
own responsibility gains him admission
on terms Of familiar intercourse to the
respectable circles of Dutch society,""

No Fighting In "Jersey.r

The bill recently introduced by Senator
Ross In the New Jersey Legislature to pro-
hibit prize fighting within tho boundaries
of that commonwealth Is rather rigid. 1t
reads rs follows:
ANY person who shall voluntarily en-
gage In pugilistiC encounter for money
or other thing OF value, or for any cham
pionship, or upon the result Of which any
money or anything Of value is bet or wa
gered, or to see which any admittanoe is
charged, whether the encounter be with or
without gloves, shall be deemed guilty Of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction there
of shall BIO punished by imprisonment for
not less than one nor more than five
years."
These sweeping provisions will affect
athletic clubs Of every kind Mt which ad
mittanoe fees are charged when boxing
exhibitions are given.

A Doubtful Compliment.

Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts
was up at the capitol the other day, and
his presence recalled to the mind of a
good Episcopalian senator story which
the bishop told ON himself. At the time
of the story the bishop was dean of the
seminary at Cambridge
Phillips Brooks had just been elected
bishop and had accepted, when one fine
morning President Eliot of Harvard met
Dean Lawrence ON the street.
''The church has made the greatest
mistake Of a lifetime" said the presi
dent to the dean. Brooks was the pivot
around which we revolved in Boston.
Now you have spread him out all over
Massachusetts. 1 tell you it is mistake,
great mistake. Any one would do for
bishop"
Time rolled on, and death claimed
Bishop Brooks, and later Dean Lawrence
was. chosen his successor. A few DAYS
after he again met President Eliot, and
the latter was most warm in his con-
gratulations.
my dear bishop" he said, 81 must
congratulate you. The church couldn t
have made better selection. 1 thought
you should have been the choice when
Brooks was chosen.''
The bishop laughs as heartily as any
one over the incident. -Washingto

A Strange Spring.

A mile and half from Franks, /. It.
very large spring Of clear, sparkling
water bubbles up through the gravel at
the foot of Boggie mountain, tumbles
swiftly down the hills over numerous
falls and rams big Touring mill at
Franks for the Hon. B. F. Byrd. In the
water is substance that attaches itself
to the buckets of wheel, forming
hard, smooth stone about them that has
to be broken off every six weeks with
hammer. Wood or bone thrown into the
water is petrified in very short time,
and many rare and curious formations
are to be seen IL and about the stream.
Near the mill the roots of a large fallen
tree over but not in the creek, are all
turned into stone Dallas News

How Ostriohes Are Plucked.

In South Africa it was originally the
custom Of the keeper to coax the ostrich
to come toward him by throwing to it
some corn, and then when the bird had
its head down the keeper would catch It
by the neck. At the came moment sew
eral men would take hold firmly OF its
legs and compel it to squat down. Then
its tail and wing feathers would be
plucked.
Another practice was to give the os-
trich some dainties, and while it was
engaged in eating them the keeper with
sharp knife would cut the feathers
close to the skin. Subsequently in AL
giers box was devised with movable
sides. into which the ostrich was driven
and the feathers then extracted.
The directions given were that the
feathers must be caught as near the skin
as possible and pressed gently as if to
stick them farther into the flesh, then
twisted half way round. This move
ment dislodges the feather from its socket
easily and without wounding the os-
trich a certain degree of dexterity is
required for this operation, which can,
however. DO rapidly performed after a
little practice.

TROLLEY CARS IN ROME.
How They Are Equipped to Mount the
Hills of the Eternal City.


The Eternal City, "Rome of Caesar,
Rome Of Peter" has been invaded
again, this time by the trolley car. The
road connects the main railway station
with the center of the city. 1t starts
from the Piazza San Silvestro and goes
up the Via di Capo de Case and then
through the Ludovisian quarter to the
Piazza di Termini. 1t is double track
and is nearly two miles long.
The power station is located on the
slope of the Sabine hills, and the cleo
tricity is generated from turbines placed
in the waterfalls about IS miles out of
the city. Power is conveyed to the city
by four large cables that run into q
transformer house near the Porta Pia.
The cars, like all stock on European
trolley lines, are model vehicles. They
are flooded with light at night, and in
stead of signaling the conductor when
one wants to stop all he has to do is to
press button on the seat behind him.
Some Of the hills on the line are SO
steep that special brakes are necessary.
Both hand and foot brakes are used, one
acting on the wheels directly and the
other on the rails. In addition there is
an electric emergency brake, which will
stop the car in few yards, even when
going quickly down hill The principle
of it consists in short circuiting the mo-
tors. which are then driven as dynamos
by the momentum of the car, which is
thus rapidly stopped.
An American company strung the
overhead wires and equipped the cars

Herriok Duggan of tho Royal St. Lawrence
Yacht club, the Canadian challenger for
the Seawanhaka cup. The Importance of
Mr.. Duggan in yachting circles was large
ly enhanced by the withdrawal of the chal-
lenge of Mr.. Linton Hope, who, through
the Royal Corinthian Yacht club, was to
have represented England in the contest
Of the coming season.
His enthusiasm as yachtsman is but n
single feature of Mr.. Duggan's interesting
personality. He is native of Toronto,
IA years old, and is very much of q man in
both character and physique. He was ed
ucated to be n civil and mechanical en-
gineer. After the completion Of tho Cana
dian Pacific railroad across tho continent.
In which work he was engaged, he accepted
position with the Dominion Bridge com
pany of Montreal, where, by reason of
rapid and deserved promotion, he became
chief engineer
He has resided in Montreal during the
past ten years, dovoting the greater part of
his leisure to yachting. His wife, who is
n native of Montreal, is said to BIZ one OF
the most expert yachtswomen in the ROYAL
st. Lawrence Yacht club
MIR. Duggan, besides being the crack
yachtsman of his club, Is a good all around
athlete and football player.
While living in Toronto Mr.. Duppan
was instrumental in forming tho Toronto
Yacht club and was elected captain of that
organization; he was also one Of the three
gentlemen who called the first meeting of
the Lake Yacht Racing association an or
ganiZation of Importance to which all the
clubs of Lake Ontario, American or Cana
dian, belong.

Then calmly she produced dainty

wax match, and in a moment more
was smoking with all the calm enjoy
ment Of man. There was futter of
amusement through the car-smiles,
grins, soto voce remarks and curious
Blances in her direction-but she seemed
SO serenely self possessed that she was
soon forgotten for the morning papers.
When the conductor came through, he
was almost overcome.

for ladies'"

"Well, I am smoking-that is why I

Nevertheless, madam, I must re-
quest you 10 go into another car"
A request with which must refuse
to comply, and which do not think it
would be policy for you to attempt to
enforce" she returned calmly, and she
settled back in the seat with an air of
such offended dignity and positiveness
that the conductor, after thinking very
hard for moment, sighed and passed ON.
The woman did not wear boomers
and was not mannish in any particular.
She seemed as refined as woman could
