CHEAP METHOD OF DRAINING
WlndrIiIs 81 Holland Arc Practically
Indispensable TO the In
habltants.

The windmills of Holland have as
their chief function the draining OF
he poldeYs, or meadows, in the
spring, when the thawing weather
fills these meadows with water. Hol-
land is a very damp country at all
times, and without this cheap means
Of drawing the water off Of the land
the people would be in sore straits
indeed.
All along the dykes may be seen
these windmills, silently but surely
performing their function of drain
ing the lowlands. Steam pumps are
used in some places, and probably
viii be used in the gigantic under
taking that Holland now has on
foot of draining the Zuyder Zee, but
doubtless windmills will always be
distinctive feature Of Dutch land
soapes, for the wind rarely ever fails
In that country. and there IS prac-
tieallv no expense attached 10 lie op-
Grafton Of these mills.
Even in the heart # Rotterdam
there IS a large windmill for grind
ing corn and wheat, and while one
would think that in the CITY the
buildings would break the wind SO
that a mill couldn not be used salts
factorily, nothing seems TO interrupt
this old landmark as It steadily
grinds away day in and day out the
year round.

Greek once had its practical
value. But all that the Greeks
said or did worth while has been
put into our vernacular, gaining
somewhat from the translation,
we suspect. There is apparent
ly no prospect that anything
more will be said or done in
Greek that would make our loss
of that language a misfortune.
Students Of philology will have
recourse to it, will preserve a
knowledge of it for a long time
yet; and university fraternities
will continue to prefer its alpha
bet to our own for purposes of
designation. Otherwise Creek
the Greek of the books-is ap-
parently dead, and no peculiar
skill or strength is supposed to
come from wrestling with a

MAKING TRAMPS WORK.

A state farm for tramps is pro-
posed by Joseph c. Baldwin, j., OF
the New York state board of chari-
Ties, and he intends to place the mat
ter before the legislature. His plan
Is to have tramps detained for long
period and made to work, rendering
the institution self-supporting. Bald
win believes tramps will eventually
leave the state rather than work.
The basic idea Is sound, whatever is
TO be said for the state farm detail OF
the plan. The only way to meet the
tramp evil is by making the tramp
work-even if he is detained but II
hours. 1t is problem in this state
quite as much as in New York

and outfitted for a trip TO the deer
country, some forty miles north OF that
point This was the last week in Oc-
tober. OF the seven in our party, five
returned with trophy in the form OF
a deer. We rode the range with cow
boys in the great annual cattle round
up which was being held in that vast
country; we breakfasted, dined and
supped with them wherever they
pitched camp, relishing our meals out
Of tin plates, squatted cross-legged on
the ground around the camp-fires. To
know and appreciate what real West
ern hospitality means, one must spend
a little time on the range with the
Colorado cowboy. One unfortunate In
cident alone marred the trip, but this
was quickly righted when explanations
were offered. One OF our party, with
the best OF intentions, offered the
roundup foreman money in compensa-
ton for our accommodations. The Of
fer was taken as an insult, which was
promptly resented. An apology was
made and accepted, and the man who
proffered the gold learned something
about the real cowboy which will
stand him in good stead in future.
