Homes on Holland Canals.

Holland owes much of it's unique
charm and the Dutch race many OF it's
distinctive qualities to the gaiy painted
and happily peopled homes that float Sc
renely through the landscapes OF the
Netherlands. Nearly every Dutch
''tialk' or barge is not only conveyance
for merchandise, but also its owners
dwelling place; not merely a temporary
habitation as n 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 watching
the sail or directing the labors of his
family at the tow rope, is the roof OF
the house. 1t is also the garden by viz
ture of its row of pots containing flower
ing plants and bulbs. Here, when the
days voyage is ended, and the honsa
moored for the night, the good man
smokes his biggest pipe and drinks lbs
schnapps; the women sit and sew; the
children safely inclosed by the poop rail
and little toy gate. play their stolid
games, and the canary and the sisllin
from their gilded cages pour forth rival
ensongs-Manchester Guardian.

is n fetch or object OF worship, of which
little is known beyond the fact that it is

Aros have long exercised over the neigh

work on British West Africa states
that the supreme juju court was said by
