[Chicago Tribune.] Wo read in the admirable volume ou tin recent centennial of Long Meadow, Mass., by Professor Kfchard S. Starrs, of tnat town, in tho winter evening , for the comen.ence of young lovirs, since there was no “next room,” eourting- stielw were used; that is, long wooden tube> that could convey from lip o ear * weet and se. ret whispers. Was this an invention peculiar to Long Meadow! It is a charming picture that this calls up of life in a Puritan household, tbi* tubular love-making, the pretty girl (nearly every girl is pretty in tho firelight of long ago) seated in one stiff high-backed chair, aud the staid but bin: bin? lover in another, handling the eou t.ng-stick, itself an open confession of • omplacence, if not of true lov< Wot Id tho voung man dare to say, • love you,” through a tubo, and would h., feel encouraged bv the laughing, tender eyes of the girl when she replied through the same passage, “Do tolls'* Did ihey have two sticks, so that one end ot one could be at tho ear and the e nd of the other at the .mouth all the while? How convenient, when tho young man got more ardent than was peemly, as the flip went round, for the girl to put her thumb over the end of tho tube, and s:op the flow of soul? Did the young man bring his stick, and so an nounce Ins intention, or did thj youn; lady ah:ays keep one or a pair on hand and so reveal both willingness and ex pectation? It was much more conven lent than the telephone, with its “hello ter subsequently obtained a i 1t.» the geniul-fiiccd gentleman, very con munnative, und dur half hours convent: ton gave some and proclamation to all listening at ■ “*" “ , * 1 each end of the line. Lovers can make love with anything, even with a telephone, the successful courting of a deaf person (for there is one word that nearly every one likes to hear), as we know, can go on through s fpeaking trumpet: but these courting sticks seem to us thene plus ultra of ten dor communication—when a third part) is present. They would be very useful now at large parties, where there is such a din and babble that one can only court a pretty girl at the risk of bi o.i. hit is or laryng’tis. Sometimes lulia.i tribes. Our j n the jam you cannot get near the girl i ?.i.-Lut with a long court, ng-stick you couic wile her away from her too ardent a:l mirer.

[Good Words.] After a delicious breakfast of coffee and thick cream, with rusks, scodes and different kinds of cheese, always in dispensable in Dutch breakfasts, we took to tho railroad again and crossed /caland, which chiefly consis s of four islands, Xoordt Bcveland, Jiuid Bove- land, Schouwm and Walcheren, and is less visited by th.* rest of tho Nether landers than any other part of the coun try. Tho land is all cut up into vast polders, as the huge meadows are called, which are recovered from the sea and : protected by embankment?. Here, if human care was withdrawn | for six months, the whole country would be under tha sea again. A co.jis of cn- g'neers, called “Waterstaat,” are cou sin .ally employed to watch the waters and to keep in repair the dikes, which rro* formed of clay | the liottora, as that is i waterproof than anything else, | and thatched with willows, which ate | here grown extensively for the pur | pose, if the sea passes a d ke ruin is I imminent, an alarm-bell rings, and the • whole population rush to the rescue. | The moment one dike is even menaced | the people begin to build another inside ' it, and then rely upon the double dc- I ftnso while they fortify the old onj. I But all their care has not preserved | the islands of Zealand. Threo centuries ago Schouwcn was entirely submerg *d, I and remained for seve'al ye.gs entirely under, water, only the points of the church-spires being visible. Zuid Bove- lund has been submerged in the four teenth century. Walcheren was sub- 1 merge 1 as 1 ite ns 1808, and Tholen even 1 in 18.*?. It has been aptly asserted that I the sea to the inhabitants of Holland is what Vesuvius is to Torre del Greco. I.c Amicis says that the Dutch have three cucmies—tho Rea, the lakes and rivers; they repel tho sea, they dry the lakes and they imprison Ihe rivers, but with the sea it is a combat that never ceases.

The s uue doubts as to comparative efficacy of antiseptic pan aceas appear to have existed in the lat ter paro of the eighteenth century, when various experiments in the way of disinfection were tried by the medical authorities. A list of substances al leged to be useful for the desired pur pose was ot that period drawn up by a Lr. Macbride, who, after Rpeaking of acids as the long prescribed antiseptic agents, adoed the following substances to bis list: Alkalies and salts; gum resins, such as myrrh, asa cD.ida, aloes and terra japomca; decoctions of \ ir- ginia suake-root, pepper, ginger, saffron, sage, mint, contrayerva-root, valeriau, rhubarb, angelica, sennx, common extent, tout- f ^ .... . tum.ps, garlic, onions, cabbage, colewort, horseradish, and molasses.
