sCOWS IN HOLLAND.

The Holstein and other blooded COWS
OF Holland receive far better treatment
than is shown a great many people.
They are washed, combed, and luxuri-
ously stabbed and petted. The Neither
lands COW grazes in green, 1owery,
well-watered fields from the first of May
until November. They are then stabbed.
A COW stable in Holland is said to be as
clean as a parlor. MANY Of the stables
have a strip of oilcloth down the wide
center aisle which is always immaculate
while high up on both SIDES there are
rows Of small windows, which are quite
often curtained, and pots of blooming
flowers are seen on the window-sills.
Beneath each window in the cow-staIl,
perhaps twenty or more in all. The floor is
of proclaim, and thickly beded white saw
dust. Before and behind each stall runs
a trough of clear water. The first for
the cow to drink from the second to
cleanse way all Impurities. A hook
is placed in the ceiling over each stall
upon which the cows tail is suspended
so that it will not become soiled after
the regular daily grooming, for once
a day these fortunate animals are put
throug' a process of careful washing
with warm %soap-suds. drying, rubbing

no doubt, we'll repays their owners for
all their trouble. -Everydny Life.

SAHARA NOT ALWAYS A DESERT.

A French explorer and geographer
claims to have found evidence that a
great river once flowed across what is
now the Sahara desert to the Mediter-
ranean. The present Lake Tchad, he
believes, represents what was formerly
the backwater of this river. The level
OF this lake is not constant in modern
times; in the past Is years its waters
have been slowly falling though at times
after periods of unusual rainfall the
lake has spread beyond its usual bed.
Neolithic relics which have been found
indicate that prosperous communities
once dotted what is now a vast parched
desert region. Ibid

RAILWAY BRIDGE GIVES WAY.

The south end of the American Rail
gave way shortly before Wednesday
noon when a dat-car, one in a long string
of box-cars, became deraiIed causing
the other cars to jam into the bridge
super-structure, calrping it away and
dumping two cars of bagged sugar
into the water and killing one peon who
had been working on the bridge
The accident has made railroad traffic
into San Juan proper impossible for the
present and it will be some weeks be-
fore the bridde can be replaced. Porto

IRON WITH THEIR FEET

If you we're to visit a tailor shop in
Cairo you would see one of the ~strangest
sights in the sworld. In the bazaars tail
ors still use their feet in ironing and
pressing clothing, A heavy, broad fiat
iron with a high handle is used, and a
block of wood is fitted in lover the hot
iron, upon which the tailor places his foot.
The goods or clothing is placed upon a
pad on the floor and the posture assumed
by the workman appears awkward in the
extreme. but he dexterously, and success
fully m%anipulates the iron by means of
the handle with his foot and it seems
to cause him no inconvenience whatever.
