DRESS OF DIVIDED COLORS
Peculiar Garments That Are Allotted
to inmates of Holland Orphan
AsyIums.

The Dutch differ from the Chinese
in announcing to the world the birth
of children only in the article dis
played. The Cinnamon hang a piece
Of ginger over the main entrance to
the house, while the HoFlanders indi-
cate the event by piece of lace, COM
bining with the lace pink background
for boy and tinsel for a girl. The
orphans of some of the cities of Hol-
land are quite conspicuous, and espe-
cially SO when seen ON the streets of
Amsterdam dressed in what might be
termed half-and-half clothing The east
half of a boys coat, including the
sleeve, is red, while the west half is
black. The dresses Of girls are divided
In similar manner, but are topped off
by becoming white caps, which make
the young misses look very neat and
attractive. This singular style of
dress is said to have been adopted to
enable the railroad officials, as well as
the authorities, to keep track of them,
says the National Geographical Maya
zine. AS the orphan asylums of Hol-
land have the control of children com
mitted to them until they are of age,
the more mature of the unfortunates
wearing these odd garments in pub
lic) present very striking appear
ance.

Ember DAYS.

In the Roman Catholic and the An
glican churches the Ember days are
three days appointed four times in
the year to be observed as days of
fasting and abstinence. They are the
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after
the first Sunday In Lent, after the
feast of Pentecost, after the 14th of
September, and after the 18th Of De
cember. The Ember days date from
an early period in church history, and
were introduced into England by Au-
gustine. Originally they were only in
part devoted to beseeching the grace
Of the Holy Ghost, as periods when
ministers were admitted to holy or
ders; but 1t is to this purpose that the
Ember days are now particularly de-
voted, Roman Catholic clergy being or
dained only on the Saturdays of the
Ember days, while the whole church
fasts and prays, and a generally SINH
lar usage prevails in the church of
England, which has appointed special
prayers for use at these seasons, but
usually appoints ordinations for Sun.
days or holy days.

WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Ingenious In the Extreme Are the Con-
trlyances Devised for the Amuse-
ment of the Youngsters.

Europe and America turn out for
their children many ingenious toys,
but they do not compare in ingenuity
with the strange expanding water toys
with which the children of the far
East have amused Themselves For cen.
turtles.
These curious toys are placed in
small wooden boxes, similar to the lit
tie paint boxes often seen in our own
country. They have the appearance of
soiled shavings, broken matches and
d1lapidated toothpicks, but when
thrown into the water the ingenious
playthings at once exhibit properties
that show them to be more than mere
toys or bits of stick
The wood of these toys have been
kiln dried, and Immediately it touches
the water 1t begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost indefinitely AS
1t increases in size it separates and
suddenly opens, becoming "a very pref
ty toy. One stick wilt change into a
Hover pot, containing rose bush in
full bloom. Another becomes a fat
mandarin carrying an umbrella Still
another will take the form a a sea
serpent, very ferocious in it's tiny di-
mansions. Then, too, there are toys
which snow as whales, tigers, croco-
dies, etc. The figures are colored, and
present bewilderfng variety in de-
sign and treatment. Their manufac.
ture is a trade secret kept by the
guild that turns them out by the thou
sands.
For older children there are provid-
ed larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting of historical charac-
tiers, rulers, poets and soldiers, and
dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full of inmates,
are also among this class. The more
ordinary kind cost a mere song, but
the finer toys are quite expensive.

A Good Nurse.

"a good nurse" said Florence Night
ingale the heroine of the Crimea,
should understand every change ia
a patients face, and every change of
attitude and voice. She ought to study
these things until she feels sure that
no one else understands them half as
well. A really good nurse must be of
the highest class of character she
should be the Sermon on the Mount
in herself"

Friendship,

1t Is an inestimable blessing for any
man or woman to possess friend; one
human soul in whom complete conf
dence may be reposed; one who knows
the best and worst of us, and who
loves US in spite of all our faults; who
will speak the honest truth to US
while the world fiatters US to our face
and laughs at us behind our backs;
who will give us counsel and reproof
in the day of prosperity and self-con-
ceit, but who, again. will comfort and
encourage us in the day of difficulty
and sorrow, when the world leaves US
alone to fight out our own battle.
