sixteen large and ten small ships he
owned his special pride was the

of Fife were laid waste. She cost $780,

EVERYBODY SKATES.

Doubtless you think it would be very
nice if you could put on your skates
whenever you had to go anywhere and
skate off instead of just crawling along
in oyershoeS.
If you lived across the ocean in the
little country named Holland, the land
of the Dutch, that is what you could do.
Holland is cut up by canals. Once
the country vas nearly all swamp or
water. But the people built great
walls of earth to keep the sea from
coming in on the land where it was
very low. Where it was very swampy
or wet they dug long bitches, and they
walled these up and thus formed the
canals This left the land nice and
dry so that they could build houses
and sow crops of vegetables and grain
and plant orchards upon it.
Their canals and sea walls are care
fully watched so that the sea may not
leak in or the canals get filled up again
with sand. In summer the people trav-

boats on their way to and from mar
ket Horses, sometimes dogs, walking
at the side, drag the boats.
In winter, though, it is very cold, and
all the canals are frozen over. The
little boys and girls Of Holland get out
their skates, tie their wooden mulflers
carefully over their caps and ears and
around their necks and go skating off
to school hand in hand. My, how those
little Dutch boys and girls can skate!
They learn to skate as soon as they can
toddle.
But skates are still more useful In
Holland. When in the winter the little
Dutch children's fathers or mothers
wish to go to market with basket of
Eggs or butter they get on their skates
md, balancing the baskets on their
heads, go skimming off to town as
lightly as birds.
Every one skates in Holland. In |
winter it is the best way to get about. |
lorSes and wagons are DEAR ana the |
,eople are too thrifty TO spend penny
