foundations in Holland.

Despite the great dikes OF Holland,
holding at bay the eager waters of the
sea, there are records OF terrible in
undations which have claimed great
numbers Of the population. In the lat.
ter part OF the thirteenth century the
waters overcame the dikes at the
mouth Of the Ems, causing loss of
$4,000 lives. Again. in 1921, the over.
flow OF the Meuse buried 70 villages
and drowned 100000 people; and in
1870 another 100000 lives were swal-
lowed up by the Ncrth sea, when 1t
broke through.

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
werd 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
Embcr days, while the whole church
fasts and prays, and a generally simi-
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.

were SO low that 1t didn't pay to haul

were high he had no crop.
at last things got so bad he said
ned be hornswoggled If he was. going
to work any more. He figured that If
he was going to starve anyhow, there
was no use working himself to death
at the same time.
SO when spring came he didn't plant
anything ut all, but let the weeds have
full sway. Everybody predicted that
he would be in the poorhouse inside
or six months, but that didn't worry
MIN in the least, because he knew he
was headed that way anyhow.
There was some talk Of clecting him

his family, but his political convictions
were all wrong, and it couldn't be
done.
About this time bunch Of spcrts

much he wanted for his land and Just
for joke he said he would sell it for
seven hundred dollars an acre.
