four Girls from St. Louis who are doing
the continent landed at Amsterdam last
month , bent on capturing Holland. How
well they succeeded Is told by one of the
party In a letter to the Globe-Democrat , as 1
follows : |
"It seems almost as If the people ot Hoi * .
land made a point of doing and being as
different from the rest of the civilized world '
as possible. Where sane humanity walks
along proper and well conducted streets , In' '
Holland they wjulrin down sluggish canals.
Where good Americans move into unoccu
pied tracts ot earth to build tholr homes ,
the plucky Dutchman harnesses up the
ocean and fools It Into becoming dry land , j
Where we ride they walk , and where tho' '
rest of the world would cry with vexation '
and discouragement they laugh and grow fat. j
It certainly Is n strange land over which
the little Queen Wllhclralna rules. I beg
her pardon , I believe she resents being
called little. And really she Is not so small
much taller than myself. Hut then , I nm !
an American , which adds Inches. '
"One of the strange thing ) about this nb-1
normal country Is the wonder wHli which j
Its people regard four decent looking , well |
dressed nnd respectable foreigners as they |
go down the dykes or up the canals. Perhaps -
|
haps wo stride along with more assurance
and self-poise than do the meek-faced , j
lamb-like Dutch maidens , who always seem j
bent upon crawling away unobserved Into |
some Inaccessible corner. There may bo a I
cock to our traveling hats and a swing to ,
our short skirts not entirely Hollandalse , '
but that would seem no reason why groups
ot peasants should suspend animated con
versation to stare open-mouthed after our
retreating figures , or why the red-checked
children ahould burst Into loud titters of
mirth at our approach. With the stout Mrs.
and the lean Jean for vanguard and the
very tall Catherine with the very short
Ella bringing up the rear , wo may take up
considerable space on the narrow sidewalks ,
mere paved borders on the dykes , but that
Is no valid reason why the very dogs should
lean aside from their heavy wagons Into
which the poor things are hitched to bark
at us through their muzzles , orwhy the
linen-trousered policemen should follow us
with questioning eyes. There Is something
wrong with Holland.
TiiNNle with Ciiiuil Dutch.
"Tho language goes without saying. How
any one over masters the awful combina
tion of consonants , with a very frugal
sprinkling of vowels to the sentenoa , Is
more than American wit can solve. To us ,
at least , It Is a vocal' Impossibility. Ella
r.pcaks a llttlo German nnd I make shift
to understand some French. But our ac
complishments are Invalid In this land of
snorts and gurgles. It Is really pitiful to
see us four trying by means of sign and
gesture to make ourselves understood. No
ono but the hotel-keepsrs understand a
word of any language but canal Dutch , and
they are not the quickest-fitted nation In
the world. The look ot etolld , unstrlvlng Ig
norance on their faces when we ask a ques
tion or venture a remark Is something mad
dening. Ono la tempted to push In their
pudgy noses or do something equally polite.
When wo find ourselves misunderstood the
Instinct Is to talk louder. And It Is surpris
ing sometimes to flnd what 4 babel four
shrill American voices can make In n quiet
Dutch street , In asking the -way to the
"stoombooten landing. " or begging to
know where wo can buy "four postage
stamps 'for the United States. "
Windmills and dykes on every hand the
pretty Delft ware Is no exaggeration. I had
always fancied that the Ideal landscape
pictured on the blue tiles and plaques wore
fancy sketches , Ideal representations of
Holland as It might , could , would or
should be * But It Is not so. Everywhere ,
from the top of dyke or tower , from swift-
traveling train or slow-crawling canal boat ,
you see the same charming vistas of flat
green flelds with peaceful grazing cattle ,
rows of spindling delicate trees along the
dykes and always nt least one windmill In
the middle distance. It Is very sweet and
restful ; It also , I think , might grow weari
some to the restless American spirit , this
continuous Iteration of one motif , this carpIng -
Ing on a single string. The water In the
canals Is often stagnant and disagreeably
green ; the people are sluggish and slow-
witted ; there are no hills where to lift
one's ( eyes ; the cities are much alike- .
Dutch Itiipia Trnunll.
L/ocamotlon by canal Is the funniest per
formance , according to American Ideas.
Iloipld transit Is an unknown apparently an
undealred quantity. We went yesterday by
canal to the Island of Marken , that quaint
In the Zee
out-of-tho-world spot Zuyder
which haa let the modern world pass It by
at a distance of 500 years. Wo started off
from the dock -with great promptness nnd a
eonso ot cheerful alacrity ; but this Impres
sion was soon dispelled. At Intervals of
about a quarter of an hour for the rest of
the way -wo would stop at every dyke , or
dam , and undergo a strange leveling pro
cess , whlah consumed at each stop not less
than ten or fifteen leisurely minutes. For
the water In the locks stands at a higher
level than the rest of the canal , and once In
the queer dock-llko place , with gates shut
before nnd behind us , the water would bo
slowly let out Inch by Inch , the. steamer
dropping perceptibly nil the time , till the
water outside ami Inside was on a level when
tiho gotowas lifted nnd wo could go on.
The gates were opened1 by means of a hand
machine , usually turned bywomen , poor
things ; and toll was taken for the service by
the lockkccpcr , who dangled down a flBhllne
on a ipolo at the end of which swung a
wood'en ' shoe , Into which the captain put his
silver coin. Also , before reaching every dam
appeared a crowd of greedy Dutch Infants ,
who raced along the bank In their huso clat
tering wooden eabots , howling a monotonous
chant which sotimed to bo a prayer for pen-
nice , sccno of which were tossed them from
the Hteamer , to bo fought over In a moot dis
gusting manner. The children in all the
continental landa are taught to bo absolutely
llttlo thlevea In their lust for foreign alms.
They fallowed un In swarms through the
quaint streets at Broeck , the clean city , and
Mannlkendam , and Marken Itself , and the
hateful clatter of Choir sordid little uhoes
behind no on the cobblestones will bo the
lasting remembrance I shall carry awny of
that beautiful trip.
HtehliiKN of Tumi 1,1 fi- ,
Broeck , In the town -where the houses are
washed , -the whole outside of them , every
day , and -where they say the cows have their
braided tails tied up In blue ribbons , We
lid not see the cows , but -we did see their
jouses , and the ribbons are credible. Wo
visited n model farm , -where butter , cheese ,
nnd milk are supplied to the big Holland
markets. The stalls of the cows , which
they use only in winter , were dainty and
clean , more comfortable than many a hu
man habitation , even In our own land. The
mangers were beautifully tiled , the floor
bricked and eawdusttd In a lovely pattern ;
each stall had a largo window above the
manger and there were lace curtains at the
windows. We caw , also , a washstand , band
basin and towels at the end of the house
no one could call such elegance a barn
presumably for the co to perform morn
ing toilet. But there were no looklng-
which we deemed a great oversight.

The cows would so enjoy braiding their
beautiful talfa by a mirror.
' After walking through the quaint old fish
ing village of Mannlkendam wo rejoined
the canal boat and had a half-hour's good
rolling voyage over the open Zuyder JCee
to Marken. It was a strange appearance
that the town presented as wo approached
a forest of flagstaffa , apparently draped
In seaweed. As wo came closer wo saw
what it really was , merely the fleet of fish
ing boats , drawn up on shore , the seines ,
woven with looao ends to Imltato waving
seaweed , hauled up to the mastheads to
dry. There were hundreds of them and
all about loafed the Ushers themselves In
their traditional costume. Such ugliness
I never beheld ! The average costume of
the human mule In all countries Is not
beautiful , but that of the Markenltes cer
tainly bears away the palm. They wear
tight Jumpers , buttoned at the throat with
two silver buttons , short , disclosing a tract
of red flannel fhlrt. Below this hang the
very loose , very baggy , very shapeless
divided skirts of white cotton or ot blue-
no legs to them at all , stopping at the knee ,
and flopping ne the wearer walks along.
Sbapclcbs blue stockings , wrinkled and
thick ns blankets , descend Into the most
enormous of wooden ehccs , nnd the grace
ful figure thus accoutred shambles along
under a round , slouch hat , with a plpo In
Its unpromising mouth. They look llko
very pirates , nil of them , who would cut
your throat for a chilling ; and their wives
nnd brats carry out the Idea. For they
would rob you of your every cent If you
listened to their pressing demands nnd
mulct you of many coppers when you ac
cept their kind Invitations to Inspect their
homes and belongings.
Ancient CoNtiiiiifM.
But they are well worth looking at , , these
dames and babies. Their costume. Is the
earao which was worn on the Island BOO
years ago and It Is very gorgeous. The
children drees all alike up to C years of age ;
you can only toll a llttlo boy from a llttlo
girl 'byitho ' round patch sown In the crown
of his tight bandanna bonnet. Below Is the
* amo Jong yellow bang'hanglnE In his eyes ,
aijd fringe of tow behind ; the same drew
of red and blue and yellow calico , with
woretod mitts drawn up over the arms , and
wooden shoes. The woman wear vpry tight-
stayed bodices of gorgeous hue , over
gulmpo and sleeves of another color , with
the worsted stocklngn covering their lower
arms ; enormous padded hips and short
skirts. On tholr heads Is a quaint cap of
whIUi linen ulth a band of Insertion over
red on the forehead , below which hangs on
each sldo of the 'faco a long , thick , light
curl. They are not at all pretty and are
most disagreeable In personality , but they
are a Joy for plcturcsqueness and their
houtea are neatness exemplified. Even the
humblest cottages have rare colfectlons of
old china , brass and copper on the walls
and fine old heirlooms In the way of furni
ture about the tiny rooms. They are a race
by themselves , distinct and utterly unlike
( ho Hollandals-er wo saw at Schevenlngon ,
outside the Hoguo aUo fisher folk. These
latter wear Btlll thu national peasant
garb of which ho had seen so
many pictures , but which Is now
lees and Tees often teen In Hol
land ; tbo full-padded sklrta , wooden
elioew , short-sleeved bodice , below which' '
their plump arms look so pretty , whllot
korchlef and breastpin of openwork silver. I
On their heads they wear the brass helmet i
to confine the hair , over thla the fine lace
cap , and on 'tho temples the spiral gold bedspring -
spring , which ore the pride of their hearts' '
and the unallenable heirloom of each family , j
They are very sweet and wholesome and de
lightful , But the Marken oddities are a.
unique and lees admirable people , I should
judge. They never marry off the luland and
k ep their peculiarities and phytlognomles
unchanged. There ore only 1,800 of them In
the fishing village , but they teem ludopend-l
cfit and happy , Alas , tht > tourist Is fast
spoiling them also. How they would run to > '

fare Ella's camera. And how the children
would thrust out their greedy little paws' '
afterwards for the Inevitable recompense !

For all this greediness Is the ubiquitous
globe-trotter responsible. It Is for the sins
of those who have gone before us that we
must pay , and what n pity It Is that so
much of this disgusting beggary Is trace
able to the careless generosity of foregoing |
Americans. i
They call us "Angllschor" everywhere , an
Insinuation which we Indignantly deny , In

Tolinceo , IlcKcriirH nnil Coffee In
Mexico Clly.
From tlie beautiful pln7.a ono walks about
a mlle to reach the beginning of the navl-
gable portion of thecanal In the southeast
ern part of the city , relates Colller'B Weekly.
This Is always a busy neighborhood , for It
IB hero that all the boats of the > Vlga gar
deners put In to discharge their loads , and
there also are the myriad pleasure boats for
hlro to excursionists. Upon the surrounding
streets are maintained countless sldewall.
booths , stalls and ehcps for truffle In fruits ,
flowers and vegetables , and the many curi
osities of Mexican life which are offered
for solo to strangers. Hero , too , arc hun
dreds of restaurants of every kind and degree -
groo , serving the motley assortment ot
foods nnd drinks which stir the alien palate
to new Interest in life. It Is usually mcru
curiosity which stimulates the American
visitor to cat those odd-looklnu and strnnge-
smelllng messes , the majority of which will
bring tears to the eyes and make him long
to put hla tongue away In some cool place
for an hour or two afterward. On ono or
two of the by-streots may bo seen natives
squatting along the walks , their backs rest
ing lazily against the walls at thebouses
and In their hands steaming cups of black
coffee. Of this coffee the visitor must cer
tainly drink ; and If he Is a lover of good
coffee ho will not soon forget Its richness
and fragrance. And ho will need the stim
ulus of a 'wcll-browod cup when ho comes
to the point of 'bargaining with the boat
man for the hlro of ono ot tbo plctuiesquo
pleasure boats for hl.s trip up the canal.
Such n frankly conscienceless s > et of rob
bers are three boatmen ! Neapolitan beg
gars are not nioro noisily Infelstent. The
pilgrim must possess lls | soul In patience ; It
Is a matter of tlmo to como to a 'fnlr un
derstanding , though thl may always bo
done by encouraging tbo competitors to bid
ono against the other.
The pleasure boats ore very rude and even
grotesque imitations of the Venetian gondola
dola , being from twelve to flftt n luot In
length , with high bows , In which the boat
men stand while propelHng their craft by
puahlnj ! with poles against the bottom or
banka of the canal. 1'rogrcea la very slow ,
but the excursionist Is In no hurry , no full
of charm and delight Is every rod of the
way. In the middle of the boat IB stretched
a comfortable awning , sheltering the
benches which lie lengthwise ngnlnst the
sldc ; there one may take perfect case , with
nothing to do beyond abandoning himself
to the enjoyment of the genial day ,
Ono of the first things which will strlko
his eye , If bo has an eye for the curious ,
Is the great concourse of boats of the mar
ket gardeners flat , square-ended scows ,
thirty feet or moro In length , lying low In
the water , loaded high with nil cnanner of
green stuff , and propelled by the Inevitable
poles In the hands of the sturdy farmers ,
men and women , Let htm observe closely
and lie cannot but appreciate the oklllful
way Inwhich 4ho cargo Is disposed and
packed , until It aeoms that ono of those
boatloads must carry enough to provision
a Bmull town.
The farmers or alf natives that in , of
Indian blcod , with but very little admixture
of Spanish. This oeems curious to ono who
has studied the mongrel type known as the
"Oreas r" of our own southwestern terri
torial , In whose veins the blood of both
races are so Intimately commingled. Of
course It In rather against nature to suppoie
that the so-called natives of Mexico are of
wholly pure Indian stock , after so many
centuries of contact with the Spaniards , but
as a general proposition It may bo de
