WE'LL WORTH A. VISIT
TOURISTS WHO STAY IN HOL-
LAND MAKE A MISTAKE.
A Most Interesting Nation-Its Social
Life, Domestic Habits and Manners
and Political and Religious Views-
Dutch Ladies.
(SDecial letter.


The small country that lies east OF
England, just hundred miles across
the sea from Essex or Suffolk shores
to its line of low sand hills between
the outlets of the Scheldt, the Mas
and the Rhine, stretching thence nortn
along the coast of a peninsula to the
huge rampant dykes Of the Helder, Is
worth a visit. But tourists who spend
the time there wholly in three or four
notable cities, The Hague and Am
sterdam, perhaps emitting Leyden and
HARLEM, which lie between, and
Utrecht, which has no famous picture
gallery, but is a place of much histor-
ical interest, fail to get well acquainted
with Holland or with the Dutch peo-
pie. They see how a Dutch town is
built, surrounded and interSected by
canals or branches of a river, planted
with long lines of trees, provided with
a town hall and several churches, US
ua1ly of brick with carved stone fac
ings; the more ancient and romantic
Gothic edifices being few-in the seats
of former Catholic bishoprics and In
the "Sticht,'' or diocese of Utrecht, in
North Brabant, and other inland
provinces. This country is far less
rich than Belgium and Flanders are in
architectural monuments of high art1s-
tic or antiquarian interest. The Dutch
school of painters, indeed, is all that
Holland can show of its own that
claims great renown in the way Of fine
art. Elegance or grace of design or
style is not Dutch characteristic and
the mere dilettante taste, after looking
at the notable collections at the Muir
itshuis, the Rijksmuseum and one or
two others, with merited approval, can
find little else for that sort of gratifi-
cation.
Nor does the modern sentimental or
aesthetic delight in rare, wild and
mighty aspects of natural scenery OBJ
tain anywhere in the northern Neither
lands that recompense for a very easy
journey which one gets in many parts
of England. Scotland and Wales. The
atmosphere and light are finer than
ours, especially favorable to views of
the sea; but Dutch coasts are mere
rolling sand; there are no rocks or
cliffs or wild forests of torrents or
mountains in the whole country.
Grand, wide rivers, vast meadow
plains, woods, groves and plantations,
gardens and parks in exquisite keeping,
there certainly are. But in general it
is rather as the home and field of q

Especial letter.

For the average EngliShman a GER
tain effort of the imagination will, per-
haps, be found necessary to realize the
fact that within a few hours journey
from Gibraltar there lies vast coun-
try which is still in a condition Of alb
solute benighted barbarism. The en-
pire of Morocco is, nevertheless, more
complete anachronism, when judged
by American or European standards
OF civilization, than that OF Turkey
The tourist who steps outside the door
of his hotel at Tangier finds himself
in land which, politically and social
ly, has no analogue in Europe, land
in which, so far as a bOuntiful nature
is responsible, every prospect pleases,
and ''only man"-including his hand1-
works. vile" But even that vile
ness, thanks to the rich beauty of
earth and sky, and the remnants OF
what was once civilization of a high
order, is always interesting, and, above
all, picturesque.
The rites and ceremonies of the reli-
gion of the prophet are in themselves
an inexhaustible study for the artist
as well as for the historian and the
philosopher. Take, for example, the
procession of the Sheep feast, which is,
so to speak, the Easter of the Lent OF
Ramadhaa. Imagine background of
sky of the brightest blue above a line
OF green foliage; place in the fore
ground the brilliant white of the
snowy robes of the sultan, of the gar
ments of his retinue, of the wells of
the women watching from the walls,
with the CLINT of gun barrel and spear
in the African sunshine, and what a
picture it makes to the minds eye!
What, again, can more adequately ex-
press the poetry of motion than the
wild rush of the Arab cavaliers in the
Sheep race? The game of powder, that
is to say, the waving and firing in the
air of innumerable guns, which is the
part of the show the Arabs love best,
gives the fantasia a warlike character
which makes it the favorite sport OF
those born horsemen and warriors.
The Sheep feast, which the Arabs
call 1.-The great feast" is serious bust
ness. On that occasion every Moslem
family must sacrifice a sheep; and care
is taken to choose an animal with fine
pair of horns, because it is to them that
the MOslem must hold tight when
crossing the ricate, the bridge, narrow
as hair and sharp as a razor, which
is suspended above hell, and across
which he must pass to paradise. The
sacriicial act is commemorative of the
ram caught in a thicket," divinely
provided to avert the sacrifice Of Isaac
by Abraham. In no Mahommedan
country is the faith of Islam more
fanat1cally fierce than in Morocco, as

Sea Water for Street Spr:nkling.

The Merchants Association of San
Francisco, says the Popular Science
Monthly, has been trying the expert
ment Of sprinkling a street with sea
water, and finds that such water binds
the dirt together between the paving
stones, so that when it is dry no loose
dust is formed to be raised by the
wind; that sea water does not dry so
quickly as fresh water, so that it has
been claimed when salt water has been
used that one load of it is equal to
three loads of fresh water. The salt
water which is deposited on the street
absorbs moisture from the air during
the night, whereby the street is thor
oughly moist during the early morning
and has the appearance Of having been
freshly sDrinkled.

OLDEST MASON IN THE WORLD.

Surrounded by three generations OF
children, Mr.. Adna Adams Treat on
April celebrated his one hundred and
second birthday anniversary. Besides
the distinction of being the patriarch
of Denver, Col, he is conceded to be
the oldest living Master Mason in the
United States, and probably in the
world. Old as he is, his mind is clear
and events which stirred the nation
three-score years ago are as bright in
his memory as those of yesterday.
All day he received the many friends
who called upon him in his room at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. N.
G. Durham, No. 1887 California
street.
Mr.. Adams was not forgotten by his
brother Masons in his old home in
Troy, N. Y, nor even by the Grand
Lodge of Colorado. From the former
was received a lengthy telegram ex-
pressing congratulations and from the
latter letter came full Of solicitude
for his future welfare and containing
many beautiful tributes to this aged
exponent of the order.
Mr.. Treat was born at Hartford,
Conn.,, April s, 1897, and later moved
to Troy, N Y, where he engaged in
the business of a picture frame glider

BABY MILLIONAIRES.
Little Ones Who VIII Have Great
FOrfunea

Fortunes.
There are many little people in the
world who will have, as long as they
live, their weight in gold every day.
In the great Goelet mansion in New
York is one little Vanderbilt baby and
another one in a grand palace in Eng
land. Every day these wealthy little
ones ride in the parks in a fine car
riage, with coachman and footman,
and every night they go to sleep in
beds of lace and down. The fortunes
of either one of these babies is nearly
$50 100000, or many times their
weight in diamonds. The one in Eng
land may also be prince one day,
and he is already marquis and sew
eral other things he doesn't know or
care about just yet. Then there are
the children of the car of Russia, who
will have a great deal of money, anC
many others. But they will not all be
happy, for riches do not make happi-
ness, and some day perhaps any one
of these little ones, who today do not
know much besides being hungry or
sleepy, will wish they could trade
places with a healthy, cheerful man
or woman with their own way to make
in the world.

Where Soldiers Must Swim.

In the Dutch army, says Stray Sto-
ries, a man must be able to swim as
well as to fight. Moreover, if he is
in the cavalry he must have horse
which will take river as easily as a
hunter takes a fence. Swimming man
euvers are part of the regular drill
there. Collapsible canvas boats,
manned by a few oarsmen, lead the
horses so that they do not attempt to
land on stone quays and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do
it in swimming costume and in all the
accoutrements of war. There are few
nautical emergencies for which the
Dutch army is not prepared. Some of
the officers have reached such de-
gree of proficiency that not only their
horses and kit cross with them
but their pet dogs sit upon their shout
ders, and are borne over almost with
out getting wet.

Who KNOW KiDling.

An English paper recently conducted
an investigation to ascertain what the
working classes think Of Kipling, and
concluded that he was practically I'M
known to those about whom he has
written so much. In marked contrast
with this view is the following Incl
dent described by the New York Com
mercial Advertiser: During Kipling's
illness a lady visiting Florida was
standing on a wharf with a newspaper
II her hand A common sailor stepped
up to her, and, lifting his hat, said he
saw she had a paper and wished to
know if she could tell him how Kip
ling was 1t was little incident, but
showed how those stories and poems of
Kipling, which some critics have
thought too technical, had touched the
hearts OF the workers among these
technical things"
