Homes on Holland Canals.
'~om the Manchester Guardian.

L "Nm the Manchester Guardian.
Holland owes much Of its unique charm
and the Dutch race many of it's distinc-
tive qualities to the gaily painted and hap
PLY peopled homes that float sereneIy
through the landscapes of the Netherlands.
Nearly every Dutch "tjalk' or barge is not
only a conveyance for merchandise but
also its owners dwelling place; not merely
temporary habitation as a sea-going ship
is to her captain and crew, but an abiding
home. The raised poop, upon which the
owner stands grasping the tiller and watch
ing the sail directing the labors Of his
family at the tow rope, is the roof of the
house. 1t is also the garden by virtue OF
its row of pots containing Towering plants
and bulbs. Here, when the days voyage is
ended, and the house moored for the night,
the good man smokes his biggest pipe and
drinks his schnapps; the women sit and
sew; the children safely inclosed by the
poop rail and a little toy gate, play their
stolid games. and the canary and the Sis
kin from their gilded cages pour forth
rival evensongs.
