CHILDREN IN HOLLAND.
Little Lads and Lassies In . Schereu-
nigen Kindergarten.


Wandering through the crooked streets
OF the little fishing village Of Scheuenin-
gen, from which the famous Dutch water
ing place takes its name heard merry
shouts of laughter issuing from a garden
inclosed by high walls. The gate was open
and / peeped in. My curiosity was re-
warded by one of the sweetest sights l
have ever witnessed. About 20 little Dutch
maids and lads, their ages varying from
to years, were enjoying game of ordi-
nary American tag, while n little attendant
of about IL years stood by busily knitting
while she watched them. A bell sounded
They all fell in line behind the little knit
ter and walked demurely, two by two, in
a serpentine line around the garden and
disappeared in a long hall, at the door of
which each child took off its little wooden
shoes and held them in one hand behind
its back.
In the meantime the principal came out
and invited me by signs to enter. In the
hall noticed the little sabots laid orderly
side by side. There were three halls in
this kindergarten. In each were 80 chill
dren between the ages of and years,
the girls i'm gowns to their ankles, held
out in a balloon fashion with haircloth
petticoats, little white shawls pinned over
the shoulders, and caps covering their
straight yellow locks.
From this free kindergarten the children
of the fisher folk, many of them fatherless,
derive all care and attention. They are
taught by the same methods used in Ger
many All seemed bright and happy. In
one room they were singing quaint little
nursery rhymes about boats, so one little
fellow made me understand by walking
across the floor rolling like sailor and
then going through the motions of rowing
"a boat and pulling in nets. He with great
glee made me understand that he would
be fisherman when he was $50 big y
stretching up his arms and smoking an
imaginary pipe This amused the children
so much and made them shout and laugh
so loud that the teacher was Obliged to
send them to their seats and end our fun.

A DOCTORS MESSENGERS.
How One Physician Saves No End of Time
and Travelling.

The city physicians clientele, as rule,
Is compactly located, but the country
physician practices over large extent OF
territory. He is quite likely To have two
patients critically i'll, half IA dozen miles
apart and each liyirg like distance from
the doctors own home. Easily it will be
seen that paying daily calls and keeping
posted with sick persons scattered about
like that become almost an impossibility
These conditions confronted DIR. Charles
L. Lang of Meriden, n Y, for many
long year and he cudgeled his brain to
some purpose in finding "a way TO help him
self. The homing pigeon solved the prob
lem. He has IA regular pigeon service be-
tween his patients and himself.
The doctor has found time 10 keep up on
medical topics, take good care of his
patients and cultivate pigeons, all three
very SUCCESSFULLY
There Is nothing difficult about it after
all. In the first place, the doctor sends to
each patient about whose condition he
wishes TO be posted one or more of the
carrier pigeons Some member of the
family has blanks which must be filled in
with detailed records of time, pulse, tenn
perature and respiration. blank filled,
it Is Enclosed in an aluminium capsule
made to clasp on the pigeons leg This
done, the bird Is released and at once
speeds away to the home OF the waiting
physician at the rate of a mile minute.
In this way DIR. Lang is enabled to keep
thoroughly in touch with his patients at "a
distance, with about one-flfth the amount
of travel he would have TO endure under
other circumstances. Not only that, but
he is really much better posted, because II
would often happen that he would be I'M
able to pay visits to all, and so perhaps
would miss seeing "a sick person at just the
time when he was most needed. Now he
can go away from home to visit patients and
| feel sure that when he returns reports will
| be awaiting him from others Should these
reports tell him that call from him Is an
| absolute necessity, then he goes and that
| is all there is of it.
lit is the BEST says DR.. Lang, "when
establishing loft Of these feathered mes
sengers, to begin with "a few pairs of breed
ers, which should be kept confined to the
loft, with an outside covered aviary If pos
| sible, to give them access to the ground
The pigeons, if allowed their liberty, ART
apt to fly away, no matter how long they
have been in prison. Do not try to trair
the birds until they are months old Their
take them mile or two from home in diff
ferent directions. Increase the distance
proportionately from 100 to 200 miles TO
the birds in the first seasons work.

PeSuIiarities of Sakhalin.

Curious facts have lately come to light
concerning the island of Sakhalin, which
lies off the eastern coast of Siberia. Cold
winds and sea currents circulate around
1t, and their effect appears to be to produce
on the island reversal of the ordinary
course of nature respecting the arrange
ment of temperature. Usually the air Is
warmest near sea level and coolest on
highlands and mountains, but in Sakhalin
the coolest air Is found near the sea, and
there the plants are of an Arctic character,
while in the lofty interior of the island the
climate is mild, and even subtropicai
plants flourish on the heights. Youth s

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Admiral Matthews, chief of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, in his annual
report to Secretary Long, recommends
the construction of four new dry docks
of the best type. He recommends that
concrete docks be built at Boston, Nor
folk and Mare Island, and that a steel
floating dock be paced either at Key
West, Tortugas or Algiers, La. He says
the dimensions of the concrete docks
should be as follows: Length of floor,
$50 feet; width of entrance, 95 feet !;
depth over sill at mean low water, 80
feet, and floor of dock to be four feet
below sill. The estimates for mainte-
nance of the yards next year aggregate
81, 434, 302.
The National Business league, of
which Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago Is
president, has sent letter to President
Mckinley, requesting him in his mes
sage to congress to call attention to the
matter of the establishment of depart
ment of the government to be called the
department of commerce and industry,
which shall gather information with a
view to the systematic extension of our
commerce with the South and Central
American states and foreign states, COL
lecting and tabulating statistics regard
ing the various industries and making
reports and recommendations as a basis
of intelligent action in the interest of
such industries and their employees.
Among the curiosities that Mrs. Nc
Kinley has just added to the White
House museum is hat made entirely
of corn. The hat was sent to the pres
ident's wife from Atchison, Kan, where
it has figured in the corn carnival which
takes place annually in that city to eel
citrate the success of the seasons yield.
The hat which has been sent to Mrs.
Mckinley was voted the most unique
and dainty production of the corn festi
val. 1t was designed and made by Mrs.
H. J. Cusack of Atchison. So tasteful
and original have been Mrs. Cusack' g
productions that her delighted towns
people have dubbed her the "corn mil
liner of Kansas" The most peculiar
feature of the corn hat is that the corn,
having been treated by some peculiar
preparation, shines like ivory and
makes most attractive head Dress
Worn at night, it would cause a .sensa-
ton as one of the prettiest and most
striking hats ever devised, and few
would guess that the wonderful and
costly looking head covering was made
of corn husks.

Gems Suffer.

Gems have diseases, just as men and
women have, with this difference, that
the infirmities of precious stones can
rarely be cured. Some gems deterio-
rate-grow old, in other words-and
gradually become lifeless. Pearls are
most subject to this fate, and no means
have been found to restore them to life.
Among the infrmities to which pre-
cious stones are liable is one common
to all colored stones-that of fading or
losing color when long exposed to light.
The emerald, the sapphire, and the
ruby suffer the least, their colors being
as nearly permanent as colors can be,
yet experiments made few years ago
in Paris and Berlin to determine the
deterioration of colored gems through
exposure showed that even these suf-
fered, ruby which had lain for two
years in shop window being percepti-

THE train gradually slackened speed
Until 1t came to a dead stop at that
wretched signal. AS no notice was
taken to our repeated whistling, was
about to go forward myself to the sig
nal box to see what was the matter,
when / saw the signalman waving a
white light. He protested, in reply to
my angry query, that he had signaled
the line as being clear for the last half
hour, but assured him that the signal
was against us.
But though we dashed into Aber-
deem with much putting Of the engine
at least four minutes before our ap-
pointed time, we were too late. That
miserable stoppage on the single line
had killed us, and we found that the
London and Northwestern train had
beaten us by three minutes.
There was, Of course, an immediate
inquiry into the cause of the delay, and
it was found on examination that the

Hence the signal would not work when
the lever was pulled.
"The signalman recollected having
seen gentlemanly looking fellow
walking near the line the day before
and taking a stroll that way later in
the evening, but he was not at all sure
he could recognize him again.

that I received a letter from New

BABY SAVED By LIGHTNING.

Spring Upon the Child.

A1On h111eU uSC as ~ wa NCduJ ~
Spring Upon the Child.
Lightning and blackberries come to-
gether in the coast region Of Texas.
The people there, as a rule, are more
partial to the latter than the former.
One exception to the rule exists there
to-day, however, in Mrs. Pennington,
of Plum Greek, who says that one time
ly stroke of the lightning has done
her more good than all the blackber-
ries in creation could possibly accom-
plish. Just behind the Pennington
home is a small clearing, in which the
blackberries grow large and sweet and
in abundance. One day Mrs. Penning-
ton went there to pick some berries for
supper, and took her little baby girl
with her. The baby grew tired in lit
tie while, and the mother arranged
bed of dry leaves for it under shelter
ing sumach bush. In few minutes
the child was asleep, and the mother
resumed her berry picking. 1t was an
oppressively hot day, when the air was
full of electricity and not breath of
wind stirring anywhere. A squal was
coming up rapidly from the east, the
lightning was showing dimly on it's up
per edge, but Mrs. Pennington was ap-
parently oblivious Of the approach Of
the storm, glad only that the baby slept
so well and gave her so little trouble.
But it was not the storm alone that
threatened danger. At the very edge
of the thicket, and only few feet from
the sleeping baby, it's eyes cleaning,
it's head laid fiat on the ground and it's
tail lashing it's tawny sides, huge
Mexican liop was crouching ready to
spring. For moment it dug it's hind
paws nervously into the ground, and
then it leaped into the air. 1t fell dead
only a few inches from the sic eping
baby, just as loud peal of thdnder
caused Mrs. Pennington to look around
for the safety of the child. The baby
awoke, looked up and smiled.-St.

A SENSATION

That the world is coming to an end sud-

ferred to. There are different kinds of
sensations, as very many people know
who feel sharp twinges of pain in the big
nerve of the thigh. Sciatica is very
painful sensation, and the torment of it
makes one think something is come to an
end. But just at the first sensation or
twinge is the best time TO use st. Jacobs
Oil. The less pain the more easily it is
cured, and the oil prevents its develop
ment by soothing the nerve. AT any stage
