HOLLANDS RAILROADS.
They Are Operated at a Loss to Aid
the Canal Traffic.

They Are Operated at a Loss to Aid
the Canal Traffic.
In contrast with the history of Bel
GUM, Germany, France and Austria,
Holland alone of all European coun-
tries presents a situation where the
railroads require protection from the
competition Of the canals.
Holland thus reverses the general
rules which apply in all other coun-
tries Railroad development was re-
markedly slow in Holland. The first
Dutch railroads were short local lines,
while the waterway system was ex-
tensive and strongly intrenched.
At length, convinced that she could
not keep pace with other European
countries by her waterway system
alone, the Dutch government con-
structed an ambitious line Of railroads
connecting with the international
lines Of Europe.
The railroads were built not with
any expectation that they would be
profitable as investments, but because
they were considered absolutely neces-
sary to save the country from indus
trial decadence. Holland is the only
country in the world In which the
state has provided both rail and wa
ter highways substantially free Of cap
ital charge. The railroads are now
operated at loss to supplement the
waterways, which carry 80 per cent
of the traffic Of Holland.-American

London's Crystal Palace

The Crystal palace was a great pro.
ducer of superlatives in its early days,
says the London Chronicle. When
Queen Victoria wrote Of May day,
1851. as 1.-THE greatest day In our his
tory, the most beautiful and imposing
and touching spectacle ever seen." she
was referring to the whole idea and
effect of the exhibition, but 1.-The beau
ty Of the building and the vastness Of
it all' were important factors in the
marvel which she relied upon to
astound her uncle Leopold. When the
palace moved to the new site Herbert
Spencer wrote: II have been once at
Sydenham. It surpasses even my ex-
pectations, though l had seen it in
progress. It is fairyland and a Won
der SURPRISING all Others" Ruskin said
that Mr.. Dickens has said that there
was nothing like it in fairyland and
added bitterly that Mr.. Dickens was
right.

A Wedding Rinq Superstition.

Although there was lifelong
friendship to back up their business
deals, the jeweler was not surprised
when his old customer who had mar
ried second time bought the wedding
ring at another shop.
If he should take a third wife he
would buy the ring at still another
store" the jeweler said. ''That is one
Of the superstitions of the trade. A
man may have the marrying habit
ever so bad and require several we'd
ding rings in his time. yet he never
buys any two Of them from the same
place. jewelers. do not expect it. They
don't want to sell two wedding rings
to the same man. Bad luck would
surely light on all concerned, and
there is enough trouble in the world
anyhow without deliberately inviting

chautauqua Seems to Have q Wide
Variety Of Meanings. >-~s .
United States geological survey rec
ords present these notes on geograph-
ical names and their origin and mean
ing: -"
BROOKLYN; part Of New York city; a
corruption of the Dutch name Breuck-
ellen, from village in the province of
Utrecht, Holland. The name signifies
''broken up land" or "marshy land"
Burleson; county and village in John
son county, Tex, named for Edward
Burleson, Indian fighter, and vice pres
ident Of the republic of Texas under
President Houston, 1871.
Chautauqua; county in Kansas;
county, lake and town in same county
In New York. An Indian word which
has been the subject of much contro-
versy. Webster says it is a corruption
of word which means ''foggy place."
Another derivation gives the meaning
as "bag tied in the middle" referring
to the shape of the lake. It is also
said to mean "place where child was
washed away" DR.. Peter Wilson, an
educated Seneca, says it is literally
"where the fish was taken out" Other
meanings given are 'place of easy
death" and "place where one was
lost"
Chicago; city and river in Illinois.
The Ojibwa Indian form, she-kag-ong,
signifies wild onion place." from a
root form implying 'bad smell"

PERFUMED FRUIT.
Five Fingered Oranges Smell Sweet,
but Are Not Good to Eat,

Five Fingered Oranges Smell Sweet,
but Are Not Good to Eat.
A most weird looking fruit is the
Eve fingered orange. 1t grows in exact
" the shape Of a half open hand. Even
the nails are identical. hard pointed
and claw-like. tipping the orange
flowers with length equal, in some
cases. to three inches.
1t is no freak. but a proper kind OF
orange, belonging to a special variety.
The tree itself Is a rugged little shrub
that does not average more than FIVE
or six feet in height in its native home,
Japan. It does not grow straight, as
the ordinary orange tree should, but ia
curved in all directions.
Even the branches grow in spiral or
twisted forms, so that the width of the
tree Is often greater than the height.
The fruit itself is Of a pale yellow
color, Of pure lemon hue, growing
greenish toward the stem. The size Is
immense, considering the smallness Of
the tree. the largest ones measuring
when mature fully ten inches from
the wrist to the point of the middle
finger, including the nail.
But the fruit is not good to eat,
though what it lacks in flavor it more
than makes good in perfume. Perhaps
the strangest thing about this perfume
is that it is the fruit and not the flower
that is odorous.-Pearson's Weekly.

FOES TO SUCCESS.
Don't Be Victim of Timidity, Shyness
or Self consciousness

Don't Be Victim of Timidity, Shyness
or Self Consciousness.
Timidity, shyness and self conscious
usually find all where we find any one,
and they are all enemies Of peace Of
mind, happiness and achievement. No
one has ever done great thing while
his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
find ourselves. Self analysis is valu-
able only to learn our strength; it is
fatal If it makes us dwell upon our
Weaknesses.
Timid. shy people are morbidly self
conscious. They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turn
ed inward; they are always analysing,
dissecting themselves, wondering how
they appear and what people think of
them. If these people could only for
get themselves and think Of others
they would be surprised to see what
freedom, ease and grace they would
gain, what success in life they would
achieve.
Thousands Of young people are held
back from undertaking what they long
to do and are kept from trying to make
real their great life dreams because
they are afraid to jostle with the
world. They shrink from exposing
their sore spots and sensitive points
which smart from the highest touch.
Their supersensidveness makes cow
ards Of them.-O. S. Marden In Success
Magazine.

Worrying Happiness.

The bishop Of Manchester, speaking
at meeting at Church House, West
minister, said the secret of happiness
was to have a sufficient multitude of
worries.
The man who had only one worry,
blind that would not be pulled up
straight by the servant or a coal scut-
tie the bottom Of which was always
coming out, found his way to the luna
tic asylum, but the man who had no
time to dwell upon his worries because
he had to 60 from one to another and
back again and round and round like a
squirrel in a cage could be a perfectly
happy man.-London Mail.

STORY OF A MUD HEN,
And the Man Who Tried to Shoot or
Drown the Bird,

Drown the Bird.
1T Is a mighty hard thing to down
mud hen," said a Portland official.
Every one knows this homely bird, so
clever that it can dodge the flash Of a
gun making it very hard to kill if
any one ever wanted to kill one.
"A friend Of mine who was a great
hunter. but not acquainted with the
mud hen, was out hunting on the Co.
lumbia sloughs some years ago when
he saw what he thought was some
kind Of duck floating on the water.
He aimed his shotgun and fred, but
the bird Owed as the gun was dis
charged, and the shot struck the wa
ter where the bird had been a mo-
ment before. AS the smoke cleared
away the hunter saw the bird come to
the surface, and he gave it the other
barrel, with the same result.
His obstinacy was now aroused,
and he determined to kill that bird be-
fore he left the place. He shot away
every round Of ammunition he had,
but the bird lodged every one and
still foated in the same spot. In great
disgust my friend sat down on the
bank and lit his pipe. At the first puff
Of smoke the bird dived again, and
this gave him his inspiration.
ITO make a short story. he smoked
up all his tobacco in an effort to drown
the mud hen, but when darkness fell
and he started for home the bird was
still floating in the same old spot
