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.” For Identification in the Future.
