IN HOLLAND.
Some Curiosities of Etiquette In the Meth
erlands.

Some Curiosities of Etiquette In the Meth
erlands.
An unmarried girl in Holland always
takes the right arm of her escort, while
the married one selects the left side OF
her husband. So deeply has this custom
entered into the life of Hollanders that
at a wedding the bride enters the church
ON the right side of the groom, the
young wife returning on the left side of
her husband when the ceremony has
been performed. No unmarried lady in
this country can dream of going to
church, a concert or any other place of
public assemblage without the escort of
parents or male members of the family.
She cannot take a walk, pay a visit or
go shopping unaccompanied by her
mother or some married lady friend.
The Holland young lady does not go
to the theater with the gentleman who
has been introduced to her a week be-
fore, neither does she vary her beau to
suit her dress or complexion. Unmarried
daughters are chaperoned to all places
of amusement. Even dancing parties are
interspersed with songs, r~ecitations,
ETC., for the amusement of elders of the
family who sit around tables socially
slipping their coffee, wine or other favor
ed beverage, while the young members
glide over the waxed floors to the fitful
strains of music. Here the young must
make the best of their opportunities, for
when it pleases the parents to seek the
quiet solace of the house the daughters
also quit the gayety of the ballroom

the concert and drill corps of Chicago at the
exposition. These young girls have mace
a hit, and have succeeded in winning unlm-
tied praise. Beyond their performance
there was no special feature today, and
they divided the honOrs with the military,
who every afternoon hold dress parades on
the military ground, attracting large audi
ences.
The concerts at night were also well at
tendance from the opening up to and includ-
ing last Saturday night have been given
out. showing the attendance to have been
46S.264. The attendance during last week
205,11S. The three days of June in this
week will reach 1900 or 10000, making
the total for two months very nearly 5OO.-
coo. These figures only include paid adj
missions. and without consideration of
passes, complimentary tickets or labor tick
cts.
The indications now are that the Fourth
of July celebration on Saturday will be a
larger affair than it seemed possible to ar
range in so short a time. But all the civic
and benevolent associations have entered
into the spirit of the occasion. and citizens
in general signify their hearty cO-opera-
ton. The line of march will be long and
the attendance on Saturday promises to be
a record-breaker. Organizations and So
cieties of every kind will participate. and
negroes and their societies have been in
vted to take part in the great celebration.

which the jubilee celebration had given of
the strong ties binding the Dominion and

said that Canada did not choose to as

have more power, freedom. happiness and
prosperity if she were separated from Eng

relations between England and the United

the latent sentiment of the Americans to-

Austrian Grape Grower Disperses
Clouds by Heavy Explosions.
Possibly it was from noticing the I'M.
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
all ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice.
An account of his experiment is given
by United States Consul Stephan at An
naberg in a report to the state depart
ment. The Austrian owns extensive
vineyards situated on the southern
slopes of the mountains, in locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms.
At first he tried galvanized wire, but
this was too expensive and he decided
to install battery and test the plan of
causing explosions to drive off the hail
storms. He erected six stations on
prominent mountain submits, COM
handing territory about two miles in
extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars and a corps Of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus deScr1Ded:
Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the submits of
Bacher mountains. At a given signal all
the mortars were fired off and the con-
tinuous detonations in a few minutes
caused a sudden reaction in the move
ments of the clouds. The cloud wall
opened up funnel-like; the mouth of tb
funnel began to rise in the form of co
secutive rings, expanding gradually u
til all the clouds scattered and entire
disappeared. No hail nor sudden DOWN.

THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
The Colonization Scheme Has Not
Been Abandoned.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 29.-The Debs
colonization scheme has not been aban-
dOncd. us has been reported. Victor l..
Berger. editor of the Vorwaerts of this
city, who attended the conference of the
leaders of the social democracy at Chi
cagO recently, says the whole matter has
been misunderstood. He says it is the
intention of the social democracy all over
the country to 90 on organizing in the
hope that eventually they will get into
power and revolutonize the social system
of the United States. Meanwhile, as fast
as they get means they intend to send
unemployed people from the cities to
point in the west still to be selected.
where they may have chance to make
livelihood. The colonization scheme is
only side issue with the social democra-
cy, but Mr.. Debs is in full accord with
the plan outlined by Mr. Berger. The
latter says there are 100000 unemploy-
ed in the country, and he will consider
his party lucky if it can raise money
enough to transport only 10000 to the
west. There was never any intention of
forming vast army to invade the west
in search Of homes and livelihood.
