News by Windmill.

In certain districts Of Holland news
of a domestic sort is frequently an
nounced by the windmills. When. for
instance, a miller gets married, he
stops his mill with the arms of the
wheel in an oblique position and with
the sails unfurled His friends and
guests do likewise with their mills, in
celebration of the ceremony.
To announce a birth, the wheel is
stopped with the arms in a slanting
position, but at more acute angle
than for a marriage and with the two
upper sails unfurled.
In the event of a miller's death, his
family cause the sails of his mills to
be all furled. and the wheel is turned
round until the arms assume an up
right cross, in which position they are
left until after the funeral has taken
place.
