mind, sub-Policeman John Atkinson,
OF the twenty-second district, yester-
day had his new summer uniform

There was a note Of GOODNESS in the
thought that chilled the little group.
The woman's eyes flashed, and her
head bent haughtily hack as though
braced up by the pride Of exceptional
patriotism. But her eyes soon low

An officer Of the United States life
saving service declares that its eff
cheney is chiefly due to the fact that
fitness and merit have always governed
the selection of its agents. On the
other hand, it is clear that place seek
ers shrink from entering a department
where achievement and heroism are
the rule. Even the thought Of pay day
IS not aIluring enough to bring assent
to the endurance OF hardship ana peril,
Thus the merit system has an easier
opportunity to exercise its beneficial
influence among the ~life-savers than
in some safer spheres Of the public
service. It is none the less creditable
to the government that spoilsmen are
not allowed to use the life saving bu-
reau for political purposes.

A FISHER CHILD OF HOLLAND.
fish than any other in Europe, that
Holland seems most attractive to us.
It's social life, domestic habits and
manners, political and religious views,
past associations with our ancestors
In great struggles for liberty and in al
most every department Of intellectual
and industrial activity, bind that ma
ton and ours together with links OF
sympathy more intimate than we can
own toward France, Germany OF italy,
though we owe much to early French
or Norman civilization.

which such information is presented

dor, In a fair and friendly spirit. but
not running into sanguine enthusiasm.
Without dwelling upon his clear de-
scription Of the unique physical
geography Of Holland and Zealand,
with their labyrinth Of river outlets
and sea inlets, so often delineated by
other writer's, it is enough to say that
his chapter on THE Fight With the
Waters alone deserves an attentive
reading, az a good account o. the vast
and costly work yearly performed by
the government, seconded by local au-
thorities, to defend the land and it's
towns from inundation. The great
draining operations which have been
successfully executed at the HARLEM
lake and In the Y district and in the
Beemster and Purmer levels, as well
as the projected reclamation Of a large
part Of the area Of the zuyder Zee, are
sufficiently explained. Agriculture,
pastoral and dairy business, fisheries
and trades, the government and laws,
churches and schools and everything
Of practical Importance, find due place
In this book.
Il Is needless to add that the virtues
and accomplishments Of the Dutch
ladies. to which even / beg permission
to testify, are not overlooked; they are.
indeed, just as good and amiable as
Bnglishwomen, and they are taught in
their schools to speak English well
and TO read our English books. pre-
