Courtship In HOLLAND d.

The etiquette of Holland is exceed
ingly strict in all classes. The young
girl is most carefully chaperoned, and
she never goes anywhere, even to
church, unless accompanied by her par
ents, some male relative or other equal
ly trusty attendant. At a dance the
parents sit round the walls slipping
their coffee or wine, and the young men
must make the best of their chances
in the opportunities afforded by the
dance, for when 1t pleases the guard
ians to depart there is no help for 1t,
but the girls must go too. An unmar-
ried girl always takes the right arm of
her escort, while the matron takes the
left, perhaps because 1t is nearer the
heart

THE FUNNY PUFFER.
"A Fish That Blows Himself Up Into .
Round Ball.

The funniest little fellow in salt wa
ter is the puffer or swell fish. Fisher
men call him the blow fish.
When he is swimming around at ease
with nothing to alarm him he looks
queer enough, for the skin of his abdo-
men is all loose and wrinkled, and he
has such funny little tail and such
ridiculous little fins and such a big,
three cornered head that he looks en-
tirely absurd. His mouth, instead Of
being big and gaping, as most fish
mouths are, is only a tiny round hole
at the end of a pointed, conical snout.
Out Of this circular mouth protrude
his teeth, like those Of rabbit.
He would be about as homely fish
as could be made If 1t were not for
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver colorings that play all over him.
But queer as he looks when he is at
ease it is only when he Is frightened
or excited that he becomes really fun
ny. If he is hooked, for instance, he
comes to the surface grinding those
protruding teeth 50 that the sound can
ne uedIu SoOu udlly Ieel AWAY. Anu
then as soon as the hand touches him
he begins to grunt hoarsely, and with
each grunt he swells bit till within a
few moments he has puffed himself SO
full Of air that he is quite round and
firm like q ball. So thoroughly does
he distend himself with air that when
the fishermen hurl him at the water
with all their force, as they often do,
he will bounce just like rubber ball.
If he is dropped into the water after
blowing himself full Of air he floats
on it as lightly as thistledown, and he
will stay that way until he has assured
himself that danger has gone by. He
does the same when he Is pursued by
other fish. And as he floats almost en-
tirely out Of water, with only little
bit of his hard, spiny body sunk under
the surface, very few fish can hurt
him once he Is inflated.

SHIPS ANCHORS.
The Change From Short, Straight
Flukes to Curved Arms.


The ships anchors in general use up
to the beginning of the last century
consisted of long, round iron
shank, having two comparatively short
straight arms or flukes, inclined to the
shank at an angle of about forty de-
grees and meeting 1t in a somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large an
chors the bulky wooden stock was built
up Of several pieces, hooped together,
the whole tapering outward to the ends,
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last cen
fury a clerk in the Plymouth navy
yard, Pering by name, suggested GER
tain improvements, the most impor-
tant Of which was making the arms
curved instead Of straight. At first
sight this simple change may seem Of
little value, but consideration will show
this is not the case. The holding power
Of an anchor depends on two principal
conditions the extent Of use
full holding surface and the amount Of
vertical penetration. The latter quail
ity Is necessary on account of the ma
ture of ordinary sea bottoms, the sur
face layers of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than is thu
ground short distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with the
result that the long shanked anchors
hitherto in vogue were no longer nee
essary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence of these changes, a COM
mission was appointed in the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power of
anchors and a principal result of its
labors was the adoption Of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor, which con-
tinued to be used in the British navy
up to the year 1860.
The invention Of the steam hammer
in 1912 made the welding Of heavy
masses Of iron q comparatively easy
and reliable process, so that from this
time onward the strength Of anchors
fully kept pace with that Of the chain
cables, which had come into general
use. A number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great exhi-
bition Of 1851, and, public attention
having been called to the models there
shown in the following year, commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications Of anchors
of the various kinds.
Practical trials were then instituted,
and as a result, some of the tests to
which the anchors were submitted
were of doubtful value-such, for in
stance, as facility for sweeping"
Nowadays, however, at all events for
deep ships in shallow harbors, 1t Is
considered an advantage for an anchor
to offer as little obstruction as possible
above the ground-Nautical Gazette.

MODEL LODGINGS.
What the Rowton House Scheme In
London Gives It's Patrons

Every man who comes to q Rowton
house is impressed with the fact that
he can there obtain better value and
more comfort than he can get any
where else. He finds that the condi-
tons under which he lives are i'm
proved and that he has congenial sur
roundings and associates. All the re-
sources of civilization he can have
bright, warm, comfortable rooms, lava
tories with basins supplied with hot
and cold water, footbaths without ex-
ira payment and a full length bath
with soap and towels for the nominal
charge Of one penny. A man can do
his own laundry work If he so wishes.
He can use any of the reading, smok-
ing or writing rooms, and, above all,
he has absolute freedom as regards his
mode of living.
Although the ROwton House scheme
provides a complete restaurant where
food of all kinds can be procured at ex-
ceptionally low prices, probably cheap
er than at any other place in London,
at the same time no resident Is obliged
W puANhoo any VI VIC

can, if they choose, buy everything
they want outside the building, while
inside the Rowton houses they will
find provided for them. without charge
every cooking utensil necessary, with
cutlery, crockery, etc, without limit.
A constant supply Of boiling water is
at hand and good fires and cooking
ranges are kept going at all times. A
specially arranged scullery, fitted with
white glazed sinks, with supplies of
hot and cold water, is provided, so that
any man DESTROYS Of preparing his own
food can do so without any supervision
or any interference from his fellows

GRAY SQUIRRELS.
Thsp VIII Eat Meat and Have Been
Known to Rob Birds Nests.


1t has been well said that the gray
SQUIRRELS one sees everywhere in some
of our New England towns are an in
dication of a higher civilization. 1t Is
certainly pleasure to see these grace
full creatures running across trolley
tracks or over lawns unmolested. A
stranger would have very high esti-
mate Of the people Of city that could
draw to it these shy animals. Like
many rodents, however, gray squirrels
will eat meat on occasions. They will
even rob birds nests. A friend on
whom ! can rely told me of two or
three instances in Arlington, Mass,
where gray squirrels had robbed rob-
ms nests, having been caught in the
very act.
One winter day, in going along wild
mountain stream, was attracted by
fresh gray squirrel track, and on fol-
lowing it found where the squirrel had
killed and eaten a mouse. He had evil
IDENTIFY dug out the mouse, for l saw
where he had dug snow and leaves
away from the roots of some black
alders to some depth. Then. taking
the mouse in his teeth, he had run a
few feet to knoll, the mouse's tail
having left it's print in the snow be-
tween the tracks of the squirrel, and
eaten it, leaving blood, hair and pieces
Of bone to tell Of the feast.
One time l gave young woodchuck
to an old lrishwoman, who fed the
chuck on ham. Now, if woodchuck
would eat ham, why not a gray SPUR
rel eat mice or young birds? We have
abundant proof that many flesh eaters
will, on occasions, eat vegetable food
as we'll as rodents eating flesh. Lovers
Of both squirrels and birds may find 1t
possible to protect in some way the
nests Of thrushes, warblers, etc.-John
Burroughs in Outing

On the subject Of unclean hands a
physician says that cases Of infection
that could be accounted for in no other
way have been explained by the fin
gers as a vehicle. In handling money,
especially paper, door knobs, banisters,
car straps and a hundred things that
every one must frequently touch, there
are chances innumerable of picking up
germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diph-
liberia, smallpox, etc. Wherefore to
avoid any dangerous results the pre-
ventive is simply to wash the hands
Immediately and scrupulously before
eating or touching that which Is to be
eaten
