FAIL TO GERMANIZE HOLLAND
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re.
sisted Ali Efforts Made by Its
Powerful Neighbor.

That Germany covets Holland Is no
diplomatic or other secret. Everybody
Knows it. Considering the Dutch chor-
acter and pride in national indcpenf'
enc" which they have manifested over
since the Dutch language assumed finni
shape as evidence of distinct national
ity, it has seemed best TO the llohen-
zollerns to proceed by peaceful means,
among which none is more patent th#n
intermarriage among influential fam.
lilies. And especially there is desired
marriages of German princes ap1
princesSeS into the House of Orange,
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head of the Dutch state.
There has been great success in se-
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was n German
princess and her husband Is a German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for tie House of Orange, the assimila-
tiOn has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal Dutchmnn or Dutchwomnn

big cistern and convert it into paint

ing about fogs reminds me that my
brother invented n machine for COM
pressing fogs into bricks, and one thick
November day he turned out enough
material to build country house.
"Yes, he did. He moved into this
new house the next April and was
happy man for two weeks, until one
morning he found himself, also his
family, lying out on the cold, damp
ground, in company with some bits of
furniture and some miscellaneous join

the thickest morning ever seen in those

Army Horses Good. Tempered.

It's weary, wicked world If YOU
are an army horse. You may or may
not approve of shoes, but you've got
to have them just the same. The
French authorities have an ingenious
contrivance which so pinions horse
that he has absolutely nothing to say
in the matter. 1t holds his head, and
holds his feet and holds his body, and
fOrcibly prevents him from expressing
an opinion, or choosing his shoes, or
making a protest in any way. If they
would only let fellow get in just one
real hOrse-siZe kick one cOuld-but
what's the use. In the meantime the
farrier gets in his fine work, and then
it is too late. Yes, it's hard, cold,
cruel world, so it Is. Still, shoes are
not SO bad and thty give a dandy heft

Habit.

The drunken dinner table HABITS of

of Chelmsford, are not to be wondered
at when one considers the iron etiquette
of the time in relation to toasts. In

have set rather bad example. Accord

NEW HONOR ACCORDED DAVID

the First Bandmaster Recorded
In History.

David might well be called the first
bandmuStcr mentioned in history f'r
he was the first orchestral organizer
of which we have any record. His
band numbered two hundred, four
score and eight, and he thus led the
first body or players. He no doubt
possessed knowledge of instrument

assigns his subjects to special instru-
mcnts.

Coconuts Make Good Mock Pearls.

The cOconuts Of the Malay PENN
sula sometimes produce pearls that
are highly priced by the natives, says
the Family Herald. The stones are
not unlike the pearls Of the mollusks,
and are similar In composition to the
oyster pearls having calcium carbon
ate and little organic matter.
The molIusk pearl comes into exist
cnce by the efforts Of the oyster to dis
pose OF irritating particles that have
entered the shell; but the cocOnut
could have no cause for producing
these Sconcrctions, which, while they
have great similarity to pearl are not
pearls. These cOncretOns form just
beneath the stem. and pure white
pearl brings high price, as II Is sup.
posed by the natives to possess some
kind Of charm. Cases have been
known wEcrc the Coconut pearl has
been sold as n m0lluSk product, but
such instances are rare.

EXAMINE YOUR INNER SELF
Possibly There hay Be Machinery
There That Can Be Utilized to
Good Purpose.

Strange forces give men purpose and
Jar them into action. Love, pride, sor-
row, foar-all sorts of hidden feelings
are responsible for the shaking of men
out Of ruts and into fields of undream-
ed Of achievement. More than one
big success finds its real origin in the
personal disappointment of some man
perhaps over college education he
couldn't get, or toy he couldn't af-
ford, or trip he was not able to make.
Of course some men are dOwned by
such emotions, but others are made
by them.
Most men have perfectly good boilers
in them, and fine equipment. But so
many never get up steam and go any,
where! They don't want to go any,
where. They just stand still-waitlng
for a call from within to "get move
on" The call is likely to come any
time. If your call is late in coming,
why not ring up your inner self and ask
him if he can't think of some place he
would like to go2 It's shame to have
all that expensive machinery and not
use it,-Amerlcan Magazine.

Melting Aluminium Chips.

Fine aluminium chips, such rs are
produced in the machining of the alu-
minum alloys used in motorcar con-
struction are hard to remelt without
excessive loss, loss of 40 per cent
being common. According to the bu-
reau of mines, the total loss from this
cause throughout the country amounts,
with aluminium at its present price, to
100000. The bureau has recently pub
lished some valuable suggestions for
minimizing this loss. The main cause
of trouble seems to be the lack of ready
cOalescence of the metallic globules,
and this means that the problem is
one of colloid chemistry applied to
metals.-Scientlfi American.

EMERSON FELT WARS PINCH
Letter Written by Him Tells of Bad
Conditions in New York in
the Year 1852.

1t Is interesting to go back to the
early days of the Civil war in this
city, when Emerson wrote to a friend
of the financial crisis:
"The 1st Of January (1S62) has
found me in quite as poor plight as
the rest Of the Americans, Not a
penny from my books since last June,
which usually yield five or six hundred
year; no dividends from the banks
or from Lidian's Plymouth property.
Then almost all income from lectures
has quite ceased, so that your letter
found me in study how to pay three
or four hundred dollars with fifty.
Meanwhile we nre trying to be as ur-
consuming as cnndles under an extin.
guisher, and tits frightful to think how
many rivals we have In distress and in
economy. But far better that this
grinding should go on bad and worse
than we be driven by any impatience
into hasty peace, or any peace re-
storing the old rottenness. New York

Confidence Has No Envies.

Ambition doesn't fear to admire
what it would like to have. Show big
ness in any guise to brave, bold man
and he'll prepare to parallel it. It's
the cowardly, doube-swept weaklng
with secretly accepted bounds who
always hates the strength and merit
beyond reach.
The fox didn't believe the grapes
sour until he had quit trying for them.
Scurrilous tongues are bitter with self
surrender. Stern, determined men re-
fuse to discount the future; no attain
ment is beyond their hopes. They
never "knock." 1t might be construed
as evidence Of inability to prove equal
ity. Confidence has no envies.
