other countries are schooled to ham
die the rife or big guns. and we can
understand their knowledge in this
art when we study the activity which
they display in their daily lives, and
learn that they are now projecting a
gigantic undertaking which they will
doubtless carry through successfully.
They desire to convert the Zudyer

area of over a thousand square miles,
two-thirds of which could be made
into a polder, or marsh, the beds of
which have been reclaimed by drain

1t is inhabited exclusively by fisher
men, about a thousand in number.
Their homes are neat and attractive,
decorated in old Delft ware. The cos.
tunes of these people are very
quaint. We find them just as they
were 800 years ago. Here are the
true Dutch maidens in their singular
dress and odd-shaped headgear and
wooden shoes. Marken babies wear
three caps, just as we see them in
pictures or en- Delft patterns, and
the men are sturdy Dutchmen. The
three slow, honest fishermen who are
drawing in their nets before me are
worthy water fighters, but they know
more than this. for the man of Hol-
land has also had time to make his
name famous in commerce, among
manufacturers. 1t is well known in

PAIN IN THE JOINTS

WILKINS Pink Pills Mako
New Blood.

The first sign of rheumatism is fre.
quenfly a pain and swelling i'll one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disense,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumntism so that it stays cured is DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system. SO that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. |. I. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark. n. J.. suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
"It began with n queer feeling in my
fingers In n little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and could not get my gloves on.
Then it grew worse aud spread to
my knees. l could not stand up and
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than l can describe. took a
great deal Of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DIR. Williams

Cutting Metals With oxyoen.

Diamond may cut diamond. but oxy.
gen cuts metal. The apparatus con.
sists essentially of tube, with two
brandels terminating in blowpipes,
moved along a guide in front of the
metal plates or part to be cut at the
rate of about six inches per minute. "
One of the blowpipes delivers an
ioxyhydrogen fame, which raises the
metal where 1t is to be cut to tenn.
perature corresponding with dark red.
The following blowpipe delivers a jet
of pure oxygen, which enters into
combustion with the hot metal, thus

the thoughts that character would
think. If representing some unscrup.
llous criminal or adventures, she
would not come on the stage filled
With the memory of her little child's

would make her too humanity 5eauti-
full. Yet there are people who will
walk about thinking disagreeable and
bitter thoughts, while wondering that
they, the thinkers. are not liked. The
reasons is that the thoughts are max.
ing the face unlovable. If one wishes
to look pleasant, the thoughts must
be pleasant. There is an alternative

Hind Limbs Lacking in Animals.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-
mentally hind limbs. In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally
of hind limbs. The fore limbs in
them are converted into the Zip
pers," or swimming paddles. Yet.
when the skelton is examined, traces
of haunch and attached rudimen.
tary thigh bones are found. There
is developed in certain kinds of
whales a bony piece representing
the haunch; the thigh bono is distinct,
but there is mere rudiment attached d
to it, representing the shin bone or
tibia of other animals.
