The Girl of the Netherlands,

The Dutch girl does not enjoy any
thing like the amount of freedom
granted to her English or American
sister. She is very carefully chap
eroned young person, and when she
goes to the theater it is with her elders,
not merely with a friend or two of her
own age. AT the dances she attends,
songs, Rotations and music for the
entertainment of the elders form a
part of the regular programme, and the
chaperons sit at tables socially enjoy
ing their coffee or other refreshments,
while the young folk glide over the
waXed floor to the strains of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best of their opportunities of
amusement, for when it pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home they
must meekly accompany them. In
their country the idea of a girl being
unchaperoned at a dance is not to be
thought of-at any rate, not yet.-Ex

why Cut Apples Turn Color.

The rapid change of color in cut ap-
pies is due to chemical action on the
exposed surface of the apple after the
free admission of oxygen and not, as
was once supposed, to the presence of
heterogeneous, for if apple pulp is
sterilized and filtered the same thing
happens. The juice of an apple not
only contains water. sugar and various
acids, but starch which ferments
when exposed to the air.
Lindet holds that the fermenting
matter and the acids also are i'll diff
ferent cells in the uncut apple, but are
brought into contact as soon as it is
cut. This is, however, not to the point,
as the fermenting matter can only at
tack the aromatic body in the presence
of oxygen. So long as the skin of the
apple is whole no change can take
place, but Immediately this is wound
ed the oxygen begins its work, carbon
dioxide is evolved and the reddish
brown appearance sets in, especially
on unripe fruit.

Good Play o. a Golf nntnus,a.,.

"The Wilkie shot is what we call a
special stroke in the game of GOLF said
New Orleans man. "rhis stroke is
so called all over the south aud was
given its name because it was made
by a man named WillSie. member of
the New Orleans Golf club.
1T was one of the prettiest plays
ever saw and was made during a
match. Wilkie drove off from the ninth
hole. and his ball landed III a small
creek, which was one of the hazards
in the course. The ball was lighter
than the water and tioated. To take
it out and begin play over again meant
the loss of two strokes and the hole, so
Willlie waded into the water, which
was about two feet deep, and played
the ball from there. He made pretty
stroke and was on the green, making
it in two. He holed out in three, which
is DOGGY for that hole. 1t was a cold
day, and that water was not pleasant,
but the act gained Wilkie lasting fame.
and his stroke will always with us
be called a Wilkie shot"

why the Mexicans Call Us Gringos.

why the Mexicans Call Us Gringos.
In the southwest, especially along the
Mexican border, MeXicans are vulgarly
called "greasers" by the American cow
boys and ranchers. The MeNicans have
retaliated by contemptuously referring
to the Americans as "gringos,' uncon-
scious that they are using word of
American origin first applied to them
selves.
During the Mexican war the army of
Santa Anna was composed mostly of
Indian poems who could neither shoot,
drill nor fight. To distinguish these igno-
rant recruits from the trained regulars
the Americans called them "greenies,"
and the Mexicans, with their Latin
pronunciation, converted it into first
"greenos," then ''gringos." Later they
applied it to those from whom they had
first heard it. thinking it meant some
thing especially bad.

A Rattle of Languages.

Three or four languages strove for
mastery in ancient Gaul, which is now
France. German was spoken by the
10000 Frank invaders. Popular Latin
was spoken by 100000 Gallo Romans.
Literary Latin was the language Of the
church and of literature. Low Latin
was afterward the language of the adj
ministration. German was the first to
succumb. In four centuries it ceased to
be understood by the soldiers, and in
seventy years more it had become an
object Of ridicule. But it survives in
more than 900 words, expressing the
things of government, law and war,
and thus forms no Insignificant part Of
the French language

Gunpowder Bags.

1t is possible to weave a very attrac-
tive fabric-as regards appearances, at
least-out Of ordinary gunpowder. The
cloth looks very much like silk and
when ignited instantly disappears with
out leaving a trace behind.
The fabric is used for making bags to
hold gunpowder, which in this shape
are loaded into big guns. When the
bags are of canvas, as is customary
they are not consumed by the explo-
sion, and what remains of them after
firing has to be removed from the pow
der chamber of the weapon. But if
gunpowder bags be substituted for can
vas the sack actually becomes part of
the explosive charge, and no trace of il
