A LAND OF QUEER CUSTOMS. Th« Whjh People In Holland Have for Doing Ordinary Things. All things are reversed in Holland. The nmin entrance to the finest public building in the country, The Palace, or lute town hull, of Amsterdam, is its buck door. Bashful maidens hire beaus to escort them to the kermis, or fair, on festival days. Timid citizens are scared in Die dead of the night by their own watchmen, who at every ijuartcr of tire hour make such a noise with tiieir wooden clappers one would sup- |s>He the town to bo on fire. You will see sleds used in summer there. They go humping over the bare cobblestones, while the driver holds a dripping oil rag in advance of the runners to lessen the friction. You will sec streets of water, and tire country roads |>aved as nicely as Broadway. You will see vessels hitched like horses to their own ers' door[>o«ta, and whole rows of w|iiare |>onked houses leaning over the street, its if they wen* getting ready to tumble. Instead of solemn striking clocks you will iiear church chimes playing snatches of operatic airs every quarter of an hour by way of marking the time. You will see looking glasses hanging outside of the dwellings, and pincushions displayed on the street disirs. The first are called apionnen (or spionnetjen), and are so arranged outside ol the windows that persons sitting inside can, without being seen, enjoy a reflection of all that is going on in the street. They can learn, too, what visitor may be coming, and wateli him rubbing his soles to a polish before entering. The pincushion means that a new IkiIiv has appeared in the household. If white or blue the new comer is a girl; if red it is a little Dutchman. Koine of these signals are very showy affairs; some are not cushions at all, but merely shingles trimmed with rib bon or lime; and among the poorest class it is not uncommon to see merely a white or red string tied to the door latch—fit token of the meager life the poor little stranger is destined to lead. Sometimes, instead of either pin cushion or sliinglh, you will see a large placard hung outside of the front door. Then you may know that somebody in the house is ill, and his or her present condition is described on the placard for tlie benefit of inquiring friends, and sometimes, when such a placard has been taken down, you may meet a grim lisiking man on the street dressed in black tights, a short cloak and a high hut from which a long, black streamer is flying. This is the Aanspreker go ing from house to house to tell certain [stsoiis that tiieir friend is dead. He attends to funerals, and bears invita tions to all friends whose presence may lx> desired. A strange, weird looking figure he is; and lie wears a peculiar, professional cast of countenance that is anything but comforting. —Mary Ma[>es Dodge in St. Nicholas. Junt in Time. in the good old times, when it was the custom to proclaim the banns in public from the pulpit two Sundays be fore the marriage of a couple, there lived in western New York a youth niuued Isaiah dago, who was about taking to himself a wife. It was the custom in the particular church which Isaiah attended for the minister to read the banns with the other notices just before the sermon. Isaiah was 'familiar, of course, with this custom, and on the morning wlien Ids ywu bunus were to bo read timed his movements so as to oome into church quietly just os the sermon was beginning. The old minister was an eccentric, absent minded man, and as he saw the young man oome down the aisle he paused—he had just announced hi* text—and said: “OhI seeing Isaiah Huge reminds me of his banns with Polly McCabe. I have the document here somewhere I” And to the overwhelming embarrass merit of the now prominent Isaiah the banns were read. Isaiah said afterward that it wasdone on purpose by ttie old doctor, but the miiiistci solemnly declared that he had really forgotten the notice.—Youth's Couqianion. French Fruits and Vegetables. The French larder was much better furnished than the English 4t> medinval times, hut some tilings were considered dainties which are now discarded. Our modern confectioners offer us candied violets, but the French of the Four tcenth century used to cook violet leaves like spinach or serve them as salad. They also used to eat the green ears of wheat boiled with melted but ter, just as in this country we eat the unripe ears of Indian corn. The young burgeons of the grapevine boiled and dressed with a piquant sauce was a fa vorite vegetable entremet on a French mediieval table. In general, however, it must be said that even in the most civilized parts of Uie continent of Eu- ro[s‘ 5(X) years ago people had fewer flowers, fruits and vegetables than we have now. —New Y'ork Ledger. A Parlor Reoeptael*. This is a box 30 inches high, 20 Indies wide and 18 deep, made of black walnut or of white wood stained and varnished. Fifteen inches from the bottom put a shelf to fit the box per fectly. Inclose the front and fit a drawer thereby, making a receptacle for dust cloths, brushes, etc. Above thi.-i place a rack having four compart- incuts for music or two shelves for books. A curtain falling in front of tlie I sicks and music is an improve ment.—Cor. New York Press. Xrw ZVnr of Woking Fronting. Stir one talliespoonful of boiling Water into one cup of powdered sugar, add one tablespoonful of lemon or i.nsge juice, or rose water, and spread over tlie cake while warm. Some pre fer vanilla; in that case, use one and one-half tablcspoonsfuls of boiling water and one-half tablespoonfnl of vanilla. When 1 wish to make chocolate cake 1 simply melt os much chocolate as I want, say one-third of a bar, and pour into tlie frosting that 1 have flavored with vanilla. I want every housekeep er to try this; if they ,lo not say it is the easiest and best recipe they have found, then 1 am mistaken. —Kittle <J Harvey in Housewife. Svl the Table Thle Way. A pretty manner of arranging flow ers for table decoration, which is also a novelty, is by using the slender cut glass Vais's which come for tills pur- |rise. At a dinner last week fifty of these vases were used about an oblong mirror in the center of tlie table. This method is particularly pretty when fine flowers like lilies of the valley ore em ployed. —Exchange. Apropos of Crank*. The crank more than love makes the world go round. The Hub crank is n specialty of his kind. We could not do without the crank in this town. We should bo tisi cosmopolitan without him. The day that tiu crank lost's his hold (or her hold) in Boston, that day we shall Ix'gin to lose our subtlest lo calism anil ls>coiiie more coiiminiiplacc tiinn Broadway. The crank has nl wavs flourished here. He is the rank product of the richest soil of the tri mountain. To be sure, we knew him not by the name of crank until about ten years ago. But crank wits an old and honorable wort! in our langtmge when we ttaik it unto ourM-lves in doi ly life. H!iakes|)o,are used it. Mot, to be sure, in the common substantive way. hut in a substantial way n >ne the less I/'vi eoprnphers have not been fond of the worth even after itt triumph with the populace i lie Century Dictionary, however, gives it an honorable and roomy phiee not far from eniiiiiiin. as crank should lie, anti proves in un em phrtic way that crank is g >t.tl English, and that those persons on the other side t.-f the water w!i > use it in a depre eating way, with an apologetic phrase •as the Americans say" —would tin bet | ter to quote their own authors, whom The Century musters in tine array, to show tlie gtssi style of crank.— Boston Transcript.

Anion# the ancient Greeks and Ro win*, particularly the latter, it wa.** tin* fcnernl cuntoin to partake of the prin •iptil meal of tlie day toward evening | t being preceded by a light repast in hr morning and a luncheon in the niddle of the day. The Greek usage corresponded very marly to the breakfast, luncheon and linner now in vogue in England. 1m mediately after rising the tlrst meal was- eaten, followed at midday by the sec ond. It was not until after sunset that the last and principal repast was par taken of by all dosses. In Rome, during the reign of the Rmperor Augustus, the two first name ! meals wj*re very simple and hastilv nken, except among the luxuriou- patricians, who indulged in a some what elaborate midday repast. Tin *vening meal consisted of three exten uve courses, with a great variety ol /rinds. Louis T IVale in Detroit I'ree Dress. Hook SlttlU In Isomluii L'nint^rfeHtiiii;.

There is iuiic'i to be said in favor of shaving, and something, too, against it. Some ladies sot their faees against the beard because they don’t like it, others because they do. Who shall decide he tween them! Diogenes said that he who mowed his chin reproached nature for not having made him a woman. But, then, the tub philosopher was a dirty fellow who eaehewed soap, so his opinion can have no weight with cleanly (icople. On the other hand, Peter the Great, who was a much smarter, though not a much cleaner, individual than tlie old liuitem bearer, laid a heavy tax on lieanls. and finding he eould not aboliali-them by that means had the chins of his bearded subjects denudes! of tiieir hirvote honors with pieces of iron Inxip and oyster knives.—New Olris Who Moks Poor Wives. I never see a petted, pampered girl who is yielded to In every whim by servants and parents that 1 do not sigh with pity for tlie man who will some day be her husband. It Is the wor- slii|ied daughter, who has been tanght that her whims and wishes are supreme In a household, who makes marriage a failure all her life. She has had her way In tilings great and small; and when she desired dresses, pleasures or journeys which were beyond the family purse she carried the day with tears or ‘ sulks or posing as a martyr. Tlie par ents sacrificed and suffered for her sake, hoping finally to see her well married. They carefully hide her faults from her suitors who seek her hand, and she is ever ready with smilce and allurements to win the hearts of men, and the average man is as blind to the faults of a pretty girl as a newly hatched bird is blind to the worms upon the trees about him. He thinks her little pettish ways are mere girlish moods; but when she be- | comes his wife and reveals her selfish and cruel nature he is grieved and hurt to think fate has been so unkind ti> I him.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Ladies' | Home Journal. 1 PIANOS AND OMCrANH Fores Bill Tu mil till coitililiontt .ml circuniKtancca.* \Vrite to i>* for t'it alogut'H nnd jiriocn.

For many years scientists have been I perjilexed over the phenomenon of a certain well at Yakutsk. Sibefia As long ago as 1828 a Russian merchant began to sink this noted well, and after working on it for three years gave it up as a bud job, having at that time sunk it to a depth of thirty feet without get ting through the frozen ground. He communicated these facts to tlie Rus sinn Academy of Sciences, who sent men to take charge of the digging op eration at the wonderful well. These scientific gentlemen toiled away at their work for several years, but at la-t abandoned it when a depth of 382 feet had been reached, with the earth still frozen as hard as a rock. In 1844 the academy had the temperature of the soil at the sides of the well taken at various deptlia From the data thns obtained they eaine to the startling conclusion that the ground was frozen to a depth exceeding 600 feet—St. I/ouis Republic. • A Hint t4» Khopprm.
