About the English Sparrows.

Recently the Salina Union took
from the REFLECTOR query asking
what has become Of the English spar.
rows, and wanting to know If the
long period Of dry, hot weather has
driven them away. A Saline county
farmer sends the Union the following
answer "The sparrows are out in
the country, just swarming over
every head OF Kaflir corn or cane as 1t
ripens. No, drouth has not killed or
discouraged them. The sparrows
have hatched their young by thous-
ands in the city during the summer,
and now they come out to devastate
what is left to the farmer. They will
be followed later on by city sportsmen
to kill of the insect eating birds, the
quail and plover that have all spring
and summer been an aid to the farmer
in keeping injurious insects in re-
straint"

ODD SIGHTS AND SCENES IN
THE QUAINT LAND OF HOLLAND.

any country that we have thus far
visited. Dog wagons, carts and boats
drawn by one, two or three dogs are
seen everywhere and it is surprising
how much they can draw and how
faithful they are.
Hollands women are rugged,
healthy, iat-looking and kindly dispo'
sitioned, and in the rural districts
wear a headgear as well as foot-gear
that to me was one Of the special od-
dities Of this distinctively odd
country. Ga their head they wear
a sort of cap, made Of white linen
and supported 10 a very peculiar
shape by metal bind that projects
several inches from the back OF the
head and clamps on the temples suf-
fciently tight to hold it always just
at the right angle and place A
wooden shoe, weighing five pounds,
more or less, with sole at least
three inches thick, with no counter,
upper or buckle-simply a leather
less, counterless slipper-to hear a
dozen or more walk over the paved
cobble.stone streets, reminds one
very much Of drove Of heavily.shod
horses walking over solid macada-
mized road.
Today we made the trip from Ley
den to The Hague by steam train,
walking part of the way thence by
train to Delft, and then by a small
steam canal boat to Rotterdam. The
distance is "a miles and into it IS
crowded a variety OF scenes that help
to make this one OF the reddest red
letter days of our entire tour. Green
pastures dotted with cows, sheep aud
horses; farm houses, old, matched
and cornered; windmills like huge
sawbucks. large, clumsy, squatty,
yet extremely useful, | am told, for
grinding, pumping and saw.milling.
Hundreds OF these mills are seen on
this trip and the impression one get'
every time when in close proxim.
ity to one is how in the world can
any power come from such con-
glomeration Of clumsnes5' Then,
too, on this trip today we passed
many little villages, some built along
the canal. To float through them as
we did gives you splendid idea OF
how these people do and live away
from the busy and slightly modern
lied centers. 1t gives the unadulter-
ated, the upset Dutch life as it now
exists, as il has for many centuries
existed and as it doubtless will con-
tinue to exist until the end OF time or
until such time as the North Sea may
break through the immense dykes
that alone make their existence pos
sible.
The expression, ut beats the
Dutch" has always been conun-
