NATURAL BUILDERS.
BOA8TFUL MAN SHOULD CONSIDER
THE WORK OF ANIMALS.
Extruordjnmrr In.tlnot and Cspaclt,
of Iona Apparently In.lpnlfleant
Creature*—A Few of tbe Many Won*
der. They Have performed.
Man prides himself upon bis marvel
ous Inventions. He holds up to the ad
miration of the world the wonderful
building* which he has constructed and
thinks himself unrivaled as on archi
tect, but “be who teaches man knowl
edge has Instructed the smallest lusects
Id tho art of bulldlug and has thus an
ticipated the works of man as an archi
tect." They who bullded the tower of
Babel thought tbelr Invention of turn
ing earth Into atone a most wonderful
discovery, but the white ant ami the
busy little bee had practiced this art
from tbe earliest days. Tbe great math
ematician instructed the tiny bee haw
to build Its first cell In the manner
which combines the grsatest amount of
strength with tbe least material. In
stinct, which may be called perpetual
memory, has preserved tbe knowledge
thus communicated, and the art bus
been practiced by tbe countless myri
ads of their descendants In nil climes
and countries. Tbe little bee has been
engaged In storing away tbe bouey In
these hexagonal cellB, constructing the
cells of wax and placing within tbern
tho bee bread, a.paste made of pollen
and honey, for the food of tbe young.
In eneli of those cells the queen bee de
posits an egg. Some of tbe bees sur
round their nestg with down collected
from tbe leaves of plants to serve as u
nonconductor of beat, to guard against
changes of temperature.
Nature taught tho Inferior orders of
aulmuls carpentry, taught .them to dl-
vldo tlielr houses Into various apart-!
meats, to construct domes, arches,
staircases and colonnades mid to ex
cavate tunnels. The Hcurlet hangings
of tho ancient city of Tyre excited the
admiration of the then known world,
but thoro was a little Insect that knew
the art, long before the celebrated
Tyrian dye wus discovered, of hanging
the walls of Its cell with tujtesiry of a
scarlet wore brilliant than tliut of
Tyre.
Selecting tlio scarlet "petals of tbe
puppy, tbe upholsterer bee cuts small,
oval pieces ns neatly us If done with a
pair of scissors, seizes tbe pieces be*
tween her legs and carries them, to ber
nest. Sbe overlays them three or four
In thickness, lining tbe pieces very
Uextrously, uml tints bunging ber nest
all urouuil with this splendid scarlet
tapestry. In this beautiful nest ber
eggs are' hutched.
Men have been ages in bringing pop
ulous cities, to tbel£j’ullest extent, but
tbe white ants require only a few
months to build a city containing a
much larger number of Inhabitants
than Babylon in all Its glory. These
habitations are built with two stories,
with long galleries and numerous
i'hunibers. Tbe spider weaves bis
home as a silken net; tbe locust con
structs Ids of tbe bark of trees, cut in
to shape by a snwllke organ which be
possesses; the klngttsbc-r rears Its
young In u flouting cradle; -jhe ant
builds winding passages to numerous
chambers. Iu the •innermost of these
chambers tbe infant treasures are laid
at night to protect them from cokl. Iu
tho morning, when the auu Is up. tbe
workers convey tbe larvae to tbe upper
cbumberH. close under tbe roof, where
they may have warmth.
The beaver but Is round and arched
and has a cellar, a flooring, a ceiling
and a roof raised by an animul desti
tute of the builder’s iirt anil Instructed
only by nature. Tbe Imre keeps open a
chimney to bis burrow for circulation
of air. from which iu cokl countries a
little column of steam is often seen to
arise. Tbe chimpanzee builds for him
self a but of branches and leaves,
which Is, however, roofless. Many
shellfish have been taught by/Mother
Nature to enlarge tbelr bouses without
moving out of them. Birds build vari
ous kinds of uests In various kinds of
places. They bang them from . trees,
they sew them to a living leaf, they
weave a matting above them, they
build them In sections under a common
roof In tbe shape of a purse, they place
them in tufts of grass where
They found tlielr lowly house of withered
bopts
And coarser spear grass.
They line tbelr bouses with feathers,
leaves, grass, hair, string, moss; they
cement them, they glue them, they plas
ter them.
The most iuslguiflcaut of nature’s
creative bounty have a tnleut. Tor mak
ing bouses for their young. Tbe gentry
In yellow jackets deposit tbelr eggs In
brown paper cups or in little clay cells;
the spider, that sly spluuer, tics them
up iu bags of Quaker colored silk.
Some do them up in gray bundles and
hang them on trees; some find a cradle
for them in the ripeulng apple or the
reddening cherry, while some shelter
them b/ueath tbe leuthern umbrella of
the toadstool. Everywhere these larvae
may lie found ns spring opens. They
are peeping from boles swinglug la the
air. laid away iu silken shrouds, rocked
In shells of the ocean, burrowiug in the
earth, skulking Iu the woods, set In
mother of pearl, put up In ivory. Imbed
ded iu sand, laid away In the center of
fallen logs, peeking from the other side
of shells, blue, mottled and white, each
fulfilling its part in the great workshop
of nature. The great monuments of
mau, his cities, edifices, roads, are but
pebbles in comparison with the works
of those humble creatures who have
constructed reefs nud Islands In the
midst of the sea. Deep down' in the
waves Is one of nature's largest work
shops. and the work is done according
to nature’s order by the little coral ant-
map whose home 1b in the ocean.
A PEEP AT HOLLAND
MANNER8, CUSTOMS AND CHARAC
TERISTICS OF THE PEOPLE.
Tb* Derivation of tbo Name of tbo
bow Lying Country — A Unlverral
AotnRonl.m to Dirt and Filth—Lot#
•f Money tbe Rulln, Paa.Ion.
"That which more than anything else
arrests the attention of a foreigner vis
iting Holland for the first time,” says a
traveler who has recently r. turned
from n tour of Europe and who records
fill Impressions of Holland and Its In
habitants In a New York paper, “Is the
fact that a large portion of the country
Is from eight to twenty feet below the
high water mark at Amsterdam. In
deed Its name, 'Holland,' or ‘Hollow-
land,' Is derived from Its peculiar topo
graphical configuration. But for the
expenditure of vast sums of money and
nnceaslng watchfulness and tireless
industry In maintaining tbe barriers
against tbe encroachments of the sea
much of the country would be sub
merged. Nearly 870,000,000 has been
expended In constructing tbe 1,600
miles of defensive dikes, which seem to
say to tbe waves, as did King Canute,
‘Thus far shalt thou come, but no far
ther.’
"The Dutch people are generally be
low the middle stature, Inclined to cor
pulency and remarkable for a heavy,
awkward mien. The women have ex
ceedingly beautiful complexions. Tbelr
■kins are of a pure white, but generally
they full In expression and resemble
fine waxwork. It la not a little re
markable that they retain tbelr ex
quisite complexions even beyond three
score uud ten. And yet you would uot
call the Dutch women beautiful—their
persons are too short and robust. Your
admiration of them would be much tbe
same as suggested by the representa
tions at Mme. Tussaud'a or the Eden
Musee.
"The fnslilonable ladies of Holland
dress like those of England and Amer
ica, but fashion has little to do In tbe
rural districts of Holland. Tbe peasant
women wonr caps of Immaculate
whiteness,' resembling somewhat the
white portion of the headdress of our
Bisters of Chnrlty, fitting closely to the'
head and surmounted by an outer hood
of wool or sfik—this when visiting or
traveling. When at home tbelr head
dress 1b an Immense hat of straw near
ly os lurge as nil umbrella, adorned
with representations of stars, birds,
beasts, etc. Tlielr waists are of extrav
agant lengths, and tbe other portions of
their dress are stuffed uud padded to a
degree tliut mocks proportion and sym
metry. This distinctive und never
changing fashion Ib handed down from
mother to (laughter and Is substantially
just ns It was In tbe days of tbe Duke
of Alva.
“The most striking feature of tbe
Dutch character Is untagoulsm to dirt
and filth, the extruvagaut efforts to
Insure cleanliness In some Instances
amounting almost to Insanity. It Is
scrub, sci'ub, scrub, even wben the for
eign eye falls to detect anything objec
tionable. Tbe Dutch housewife sets
upart u Certain day for the cleansing
of tbe bedroom, and upon that day tbe
bedroom must be cleaned. Even If no
dirt be discernible, sufficient time has
elapsed for Its accumulation, she rea
sons. It Is the bedroom's dey, and It
DUBt pass the ordeal.
"Tho lower parts of many of the
north Holland houses are lined with
white Dutch tiles, and gome of the
rooms are paved with small equare
tiles, put together without cement.
Tbe kitchen furniture—In copper, tin,
pewter and Iran—affords a striking
proof of the mlstrers’ regard for neat
ness in arrangement and cleanliness In
appearance. The beds and tables are
covered with tho finest linen, and the
rooms are adorned with pictures and
the yards and gardens with" flowers.
The houses in almost every portion of
the province of north Holland present
a gay appearance. The windows and
doors are generally painted green, and
the most lavish use of water is indulg
ed In, uot only the windows, but the
entire fronts of the houses, being wash
ed two or three times each week. The
same care Is extended to the streets in
which the more opulent Inhabitants re
side.
"Tbe traveler Is Impressed with the
fact that Holland Is emphatically a
country of large towns. The larger
towns are surrounded by market gar
dens, many of which are small, every
Inch of land being cultivated to tbe
highest possibility of productiveness.
These small gardeners do not keep
horses as beasts of burdeu, since their
maintenance would involve a too con
siderable expense. They employ dogs,
which are as much members of the
family as the sous or daughters. These
dogs are powerful brutes, capable of
drawing loads out of all proportion to
their slxe.
"Tho custom of smoking Is so preva
lent In Holland that a genuine Dutch
boor, lnstend of describing distances
between places by miles or hours, will
■ay a town or house is so many pipes
away. Thus a man may reach Delft
from Rotterdam In four pipes, but If
be go on to The Hague be will consume
seven pipes during the journey. All
Dutchmen of the lower class and not
a few In the higher walks of life carry
In their pockets all requisites for smok-
Ing-an enormous box holding at leaat
half a pound of tobacco, a pipe of
clay or Ivory according to Inclination
or means, instruments to cleanse It, a
pricker to remove obstructions from
the stem, a cover of brass to prevent
sparks or ashes from flying about and
a bountiful supply' of matches. A
Dutchman In Holland without a pipe
would be a rara avis, and auch plpesl
Some of them are of an antiquity which
entitles them to veneration, but <
tnlnly not to respect, and so tnon-
.—.. — . . a . i.
strops In size that as weapons of of
fense or defense-they would certainly
prove formidable.
"The chief characteristics of the'
Dntch are patience, Ingenuity and per
severance. Their natural tempera
ment la phlegmatic, And the results
achieved by their labors are due rather
to continued application than arduous
exertion. Tbe love of money la their
ruling passion and the mainspring of
all their actions, and as their energies
are concentrated upon ways and means
to procure It no people are so unsocia
ble. They seem to have no time for
the practice of tbe various social amen
ities which In other countries soften
the asperities of existence. Tl)ey speak
little and laugh less. But their ap
pearance and expression - give a poor
Indication of their sterling qualities.
Their general truthfulness, sincerity
and honesty are evident to every one
whose own respectability gains him
admission on terms of familiar Inter
course to the respectable circles of
Dutch society.”
