Economical In Their Use o? the

One tiling Visitors lo Hoi!;ni<l notice,
and that is that u*> one < u tlu- streets
or in the cars is seen reoliiei :i mms I
paper. I'a purs are not sold or hawked
as tlie.v are in Engbtnd and America.
It is only when extremely important
events take place and the papers print
special "bulletins" that these are sometimes
bought in the street. Usually
the people eon tent themselves by reading
these same bulletins when I hey are
displayed in the windows of cigar
shops, booksellers' shops or at the offices
of the newspapers, for the Dutoh
people economize in their reading matter.
Many curious ways have been
devised to reconcile economy with a
jlentiful supply ol news and Information.
Two, three or more families will com
bine to subscribe for one paper, which
is then read by each in turn. The
one who gets it first pays a little more
than the later readers, and each may
iwv: 11 II 1UI (I .Oll|MIiaU'U lllill' nil lUUII"
or perhaps two or throe hours or hall
a day. In this way it. is generally <?i,ly
the "head of the house" who gather*
in any information, lie monopolizes i!
paper as soon as it comes and keeps
it as long as he can. The other members
of t lie I'stmily then go without
news or are only enriched by the
crumbs of knowledge that now and
then drop from the lips ot paterfamilias.
Most of the dftily papers in Holland
are issued in the evening, but some
of the more important ones publish
morning editions as well. To subscribe
for more than one paper is considered
n terrible extravagance, and even a
"whole" subscription for one family
alone is looked upon as a luxury. At
the clubs and the "coffee houses," the
Dutch equivalent of the American k.i. 1
loou, there art* always neirspnpers in
profusion, and very many tolmi do nil
their rending (hero and so save the
subscription fees. for Iliey don't count ,
the cost of what they imbibe.
Many cigar shops and sometimes
other stores have what they call "depots"
of newspapers, and there you '
can also "rent" a paper and take it j
homo with you for n certain length of
fmc for very little money indeed.
Hut the longing for information ot
the average Dutchman of the middle 1
classes extends far beyond the daily 1
paiiers. lie wishes (o know all about (
I1I3 neighbors far and near, and at the ! '
same time he wants to keep up his '
knowledge of the languages learned at j
school. For these purposes reading J
societies are formed either aiming 1
friends or people living In the same | ^
neighborhood, or perhaps all the <>tU- *
cers of a certain regiment will com- I '
bine; then a committee will bo selected
from among tlio members on which !
will devolve the task of selecting suit (
able weekly papers or monthly maga- 1
zincs In lCnplish. French. German and ,
Dutch and to circulate these among | '
the members of ttie society. These i
books and papers are sent round In I
large portfolios either once or twice a '
week, as may have been agreed upon. , t
So those joining such a society can 3
read all the host English. American.
German and Dutch periodicals at a
slight cost.

Saw It In a Dream.
For many .venr.s ivor.v manufacturers
were trying to devise muclilne for
turning out a billiard ball as nearly
perfect as possible and at the same
time avoiding waste. Among those

One night after Mr. Curler had
been striving to solve the problem lor
some time lie suddenly awoke his wife
by shouting out. "1 have got it!" and
rushed downstairs into his study,
where he made a drawing of the last
knife, for the want of which he had
been so long waiting in order to complete
his machine. It appears that lie
had fallen asleep and dreamed about'
the machine, and in the dream t lie solution

Brown Eyes and Color Blindness.
Color blindness is one of the great
drawbacks to a large percentage of
men who would enlist in the United
States marine corps, according to tlio
recruiting ollicers.
"We have a box tilled with different
colored yarn." saiil an otlicer of that
branch of the service. "We ask the
prospective recruit to pick out green,
for instance. If lie is color blind he
will invariably pick all the red yarn.
We place it all back in tlie box again
and ask him to pick out the red. In
nine cases out of ton out will come the
green.
"Another strange thing 1 have noticed
is that most persons who aro
color blind have brown eyes. Once in
awhile a person with eyes of a different
color is aUlicted that way. but. as
n irenornl rule tliov nro ium-siiiw with
brown eyes."?Kansas City Star.
Ho Smoked.
"What a smell of smoke is about!
Do you allow your husband to smoke
In the parlor?"
"lie doesn't, as a rule, but this
morning"?
"You are very wrong to allow any
exceptions whatever, my dear woman.
You ought not to allow him to smoke
under any possible circumstances, even
once."
"But. my dear woman, this morning
bo simply had to smoke. Ilis coat
was on lire."?New York Journal.
