Hollanders in America.

~ HE most important emigration of
 Hollanders to America in modern - times occurred in ls47, when Zee land, Mich. was settled by a little com psny seeking greater religious freedom than they could enjoy at home. The little band encountered all sorts of hard ships on the upper peninsula and their struggles read like the early encounters of our forefathers on the Atlantic Coast. From this beginning al Zeeland the colony spread throughout Northwestern Miehi- gan. aud Hope College was established in 1soO at the town of Holland. Other seminaries have been established at Grand Rapids and other towns in Michigan. There are Hollsnders now throughout the entire country. and the greater portion of them belong 10 the industrial classes, most of them working as individuals in the factories of their locality.

Woodpecker's Foresight.

IN California the woodpecker stores
 acorns away. although he never eats them He bores several holes, differ ing slightly in size, at the fall Of the year and invariably in pine tree. Then be finds an acorn. which ne adjusts to one of the holes prepared for its recep- ton. The woodpeeker's object in storing away the scorns is simply foresight. for he never eats them.
 The succeeding winter the acorns re- main intact. but become saturated and are predisposed to decay. It Is then that the woodpecker reaps the harvest of his wisdom. The acorns are nlled with small insects and the bird eats these. as the ground Is covered with snow and it is impossible for him to obtain food from the ground He makes a nesting place for the insects and thus reaps his reward after a year.
