Holland a Land OF Bells.

From the earliest times the people Of
the Netherlands have so greatly loved
their bells and chimes that the archi
lecture of their belfries an steeple'
shows marked traces of 1t. Most OF
these are of open-wOrk design, so that
the bells might be heard in the widest
circumference.
In Holland there is scarcely a place
Of Importance that does not have one
or more towers with chimes. The
tunes of these are changed once or
twice a year, generally on New Years
day. This is 50 at the Hague and Ut
recht. Some places, however, are not
content with this and have the tunes
changed oftener. It is on record that
in one town, which had a fine carlton
cast by the famous HemOney in 1877, II
was decreed that the tunes should be
changed every fortnight, or at least
once a month, so fond were the burgh
ers Of their bells.
In a time when clocks were by no
means general the church bells were
the time keepers for the burghers. The
heavier bell struck the hours and the
lighter bell the half hours. If these
were chimes they played a tune at noon
and another at midnight, while before
the stroke Of the hour, or division of
the hour a part Of the tune would be
played. The consequence was that
there was always plenty of music in
the air, and every one in town would
know what time it was. In Utrecht
this custom Is still continued, and as
there are several musical towers" It
is not a place for nervous people to live

Cow a Mother to Ducks.

Out IN Fresno, Cal, there is a fine
gentle COW that adopted two kittens
when the mother cat died. She waited
every morning until they had been Civ.

them to snuggle up under her neck fcI

All night they slept in the stall with
her. One of the kittens was given to
a little girl near by, but the other
now a fulI-grown cat, still lives with
Ruttercup, her foster mother, who ev.
cry day gives her some nice warm milk
Another COW, this one in New Jersey
adopted and raised a family of ducks
The ducks were Matched In a feather
bed placed in the cows stall in such z
way that the heat from her body kept
the eggs warm, and yet not near enough
to her to crush the shells.
Thirteen out Of the setting Of fifteen
eggs Matched out. When the dozen and
one little, fluffy ducks began to hor
about Bossy, the COW showed great in
terest In them. She let them hop all
over her, and the little creatures, never
having known any other mother ran to
her for protection.
When they were big enough to 60 to
the stream for a swim she would wan.
der down with the brood and stand
browsing or drinking while they play
ed. When she wanted to return to the
pasture she would moo coaxingly and
in a few minutes the entire brood
would gather around her and follow
her to the field. Her strange family
are now good-sized ducks, but Bossy
cares for them just the same and re-

In a recent essay on the modern
American home Prof Patten, leading
Pennsylvania economist, deplored the
effects Of certain features Of the
changed Industrial conditions. The
home is not what it used to be; nor is
the American wife what she used to be.
And, according to Prof. Patten, these
differences are responsible for late mar
riages or the preference Of so many
men of moderate means for the state
Of single blessedness. When wives were
an economic help, it is explained, men
were glad to marry young In the ear
lier period Of the country's life many
productive industries were distinctly
classified as married wOmen'swork, and
the wife was placed at once in the
current of production" Now she is
non-producer, except IN the limited
sense of saving some part of the hus-
bands income. She must "buy her
chicken, not raise it; she must buy her
butter, not churn it; buy her carpet,
not weave It." She can go no "gainful'
work at home, and she would incur
censure and loss Of caste were she to
cross the street and seek employment
In the dairy store. Merely remariling
that Prof. Patterns observations apply
to urban but not to rural homes, it is
interesting to note the coincidence that
simultaneously with the publication of
his gloomy article the Federal Bureau
of Labor gave us in its bulletin study
by Prof. Max West Of Columbia, enti-
tied 1.-THE Revival Of Handicraft in
America" DR.. West shows that efforts
have been made IN New England and
in the South to revive the domestic
textile industry. There Is apparent a
steadily increasing demand for hand
woven fabrics, notwithstanding their
relatively high cost The arts and
crafts movement is a considerable fac
tor in this revival. Economically, DR..
West says, 1t is important as a means
OF providing employment not only for
those living in rural districts and hav-
Ing little to occupy their time in win
ter months, but also for those in cities
who can support themselves at more
difficult tasks. The details of the arti-
Gle cannot be reproduced here, but it
may be said in a general way that they
undoubtedly point to a real If modest
revival, largely but not wholly under
artistic, educational and benevolent
inspiration, Of the production of do
nestle fabrics. In time this may
react on marriage and the home in
ways not foreseen either by the pessim-
istic Pennsylvania economist or by the
friends of the handicrafts threatened
by the great industry"

There are very few positions that are
not open to men in the busy life Of a
large city, but there are many things
that men do that women are more ex-
pert at A man Is seldom found teach
ing in the lower grades of the public
schools In the city. Once in a great
while q man may have charge of q
grade lower than the fifth, but this Is
the exception. Women are better
adapted to handle the little tots In
school. The natural mother instinct
in every woman makes her more sym
pathetic with the little folks, In con-
sequence Of which she is more patient
and considerate than man would be
under the same circumstances. So that,
although a man could teach these
grades as far as his educational knowl-
edge Is concerned, it is so seldom that
he Is otherwise fitted for the position
that the school board hesistates before
placing him in these grades and at all
times prefers women. If men were
placed in the primary departments Of
all our city schools such a fuss would
be made by the majority Of parents
who have children in this department
Of school work that the women teachers
would have to be recalled in less than

REvELs IN OCEANIC LORE.
Prince of Monaco Pounds a Museun
of Sea Life.

Prince of Monaco Pounds a Museum
of Sea Life.
Nearly all if not all of the revenues
of the great gambling hall at Monte
Carlo are expended in the construction
and equipment of the Museum OF
Oceanography at that place, which In
stitution originated in the mind OF the
Prince Of Monaco some time ago, and
has been maintained by him since. For
many years boats have been fitted out
by the prince for the work of ocean re-
search and much valuable knowledge
has been secured on this interesting
subject. The small museum originally
established by the prince on the shores
Of the sea has been recently replaced
by pretentious structure which will
before long be regarded as one Of the
worlds most important scientific cen
ters
The new structure is an Imposing
one Of stone built on the side Of pre-
cipice. 1t is a long structure, extend
ing about 325 feet along the edge OF
the rocky declivity. The Easements are
Just above the sea, while the upper
stories are above the top Of the upper
ground level, and in this manner a
large structure has been reared with
out marring the beautiful landscape OF
that portion of the country. Viewed
from the land side, the structure ap-
pears to be three stories in height,
while from the sea it is a seven or
eight stored structure.
The main entrance is really in the
very center Of the building, there being
three floors above and three below. At
ter entering the main doorway the Wis
itor finds himself in a great hallway
or vestibuie and on either side are
large rooms, which are designed to ac-
commodate specimens when the insti-
tuition is in full working order. These
three rooms are capable Of being
thrown into one large hall to afford
accommodations for large gatherings
such as congresses and conventions.
In the lower part of the building IS
where the actual work OF Investigation
and research is conducted. Here there
are private rooms for the use Of visit
ing scientists who may be conducting
some line of work at the institution.
On one Of these lover floors there is a
macerating basin large enough to re
ceive a whale.
In one of the wings located on the
lower floors are a large number OF
aquariums, ranging in length from
three feet to twenty, for the exhibition
of live specimens. One Of the rooms
contains a cement table seventy feet
| long and three feet wide
The upper floors are given over to
the exhibition of apparatus used in Sc
curing specimens Of water and animal
life from the depths Of the sea, inves-
tigation of the amount Of light pene-
trating the depths and for the study OF
| the oceans currents. In addition to
all this there is an excellent library and
a Photographic studio. g

When he tries to give the family order
to the butcher or grocer what is the
result? His bills are simply enormous,
because he does not understand the art

Some men are willing to admit that
they are out Of their element in these

household matters to the hands of a

There are a few privileges granted

Ion were to design one for his special
benefit he would applaud the venerable
dame as his greatest benefactor.
