train aud boarded a boat boud for thellelder the north ernmost point of north Holland whore the low lying Islands curve round to the horizon looking as if they had been appointed ocean outposts to Friesiand The voyage might take a day but what of that There is only one way to travel in Holland by wa ter The boat glides through the brim ming canal and passes the clean towns and the many windmills Life per sists passengers and cargoes come and go but you are no longer at war with the world or in trouble with It You are a spectator idling through a sum mer day wrapped in aloofness con tent merely to le moving through the moist and luminous air When the en virons of Amsterdam are left behind and the water side houses give place to the reeds that bend as the backwash overtakes them and the factories fade into vast bright meadows the spirit ef this land wrested from the sea obsesses the traveler I forgot to count the windmills was indifferent to tho locality of the hut where Peter the Great studied shipbuilding and was content with pretending to choose a habitation from among tho dwellings whose gardens are washed I y the wa ters of this great North We passed through r jaar on one side Dutch farmhouses compact four square stretching in an endless line along tho waterway on the other side the meadows and beyond them far away the sweeping line of the dunes They rise above the North sea and on their sandjr sides and heights men are forever on the watch against the encroachments of the ocean They 1 plant the shrub called helm that binds the sand together making a bulwark against the rage of the waves God gave us the sea but we made the shore says the Dutchman These flower fruitful and pastoral meadows that outstretched as we glided north ward were once submerged in water The fight against the sea never ceases As we moved northward the three great dikes loomed out I gazed out at these high bulwarks patrolled and watched by day and by night and mused on the legend that at Amster dam there is one master key a turn of which in times of peril from foreign Invasion will drown the land again And as I mused there swept past a barge The great sail was hoisted The family a mite of the 50000 canal population who live out their lives on these floating houses were gathered round the tiller where mynheer smoked and steered The barge is the symbol of this sea conquering people Below the Helder I landed Beyond is the fort with the fringe of islands outposting Friesiand the fishing fleet and the gun boats and the channel between the mainland and Texel opening to the world As I crossed the bridge I saw the sight of sights There was no fuss no shouting no spilling of wine at that launch The barge moved from her cradle shot downward took the water in a rush pretended to capsize and all at once acquiesced She had found her master Chicago News Whistlers Portrait of Irving Why did Whistler paint Henry Irving as Philip some one once ask ed me How dangerous to ask why about any one so freakish as Jimmy Whistler But I answered then and would answer now that it was be cause as Philip Henry in his dress without much color from the common point of view his long gray legs and his Velasquez like attitudes looked like the kind of thing which Whistler loved to paint Velasquez had painted a real Philip of the same race Whis tler would paint the actor who had created the Philip of the stage I have a note from Whistler written to Henry at a later date I think which refers to the picture It is common knowledge that the sitter nev er cared much about the portrait Henry had a strange affection for the wrong pictures of himself He dis liked the Bastien Lepage the Whistler and the Sargent which never even saw the light He adored the weak pretty pretty picture by Millais which I must admit all the same held the mirror up to one of the characteristics of Henrys face its extreme refine ment The most remarkable men I have known were without a doubt Whis tler and Oscar Wilde This does not Imply that I liked them better or ad mired them more than the others but there was something about both of them more instantaneously individual audacious and wonderful than it is possible to describe Ellen Terry in McClures Vanity Makes Misfits A tailor tossed Into a corner a suit that had turned out a misfit It is mens vanity that makes nine tenths of the misfits he growled How so Why when a man comes in here to be measured he wont stand in his nat ural way He is too vain We go to take his chest measure and to have the satisfaction of hearing a big num ber yelled out he puffs out his chest like a pigeon and then his coat and waistcoat are too big for him He does the same with his back stiffen ing it if he Is humped to a military erectness The same with his they slope he raises them to his ears and if they are round he throws them back till the shoulder blades clash together And if his stomach protrudes he draws it in Thus our measurements are all wrong and the suit thanks to the mans van ity must go to the misfit dealer New York Press A NEST HARD Td FIND rtemarkablo and Artistic Homo of the Humming Bird The home of the humming bird Is one of the most remarkable and artistic creations of all bird architecture It Is a tiny delicate cup made of the soft est plant down saddled upon some rather slender branch so deftly that it qecms a part thereof The saliva of the birds Is used to compact and secure the material and likewise to coat the exterior with the gray green lichens so generally found upon trees This makes it so assimilate with the sur roundings that It is a very dillieult ob ject to discover And thereby hangs a tale A gentleman had told me that if I would call upon him he would show me an occupied nest of a hum ming bird In his orchard When I came he was out of town but I thought I would see if I could not find the nest myself So I made Inspection from tree to tree and presentlj the fe male hummer began to fly about me anxiously We played a game of hot and cold until it became evident that the nest must be In a certain low apple tree which had many dead lichen cov ered branches Some of these came down nearly to the ground and for quite awhile I stood by the tree run ning my eyes along each branch in or der trying to make out the nest while the female kept darting frantically at my head It must have been nearly a quarter of an hour before I discovered that I was standing almost touching the nest with my hands having been looking right over it all the time It contained two fresh eggs this being in the early part of June The branch upon which it war built was complete ly overgrown with lichens and the nest being covered with them too was wonderfully disguised though there were no leaves to hide it From Ex periences With Humming 6irds bj H K Job in Outing Magazine THE SMALLEST SCREWS To the Naked Eye They Look Like Specks of Dust The smallest screws In the world are those made in watch factories They are cut from steel wire by a machine but as the chips fall from the knife it looks as if the operator was simply cutting up the wire for his own di version One thing is certain no screws can be seen and yet a screw Is made by every third operation The fourth jewel wheel screw is next to invisible to the naked eye re sembling a speck of dust With a glass however it can be made out quite distinctly It has 2G0 threads to an inch These little screws are four one thousandth of an inch in diam eter and the heads are double in size It has been estimated that an ordinary thimble would hold 100000 of them About 1000000 of them are manu factured in the course of a mouth but no attempt is ever made to count them In determining the number 100 of them are placed on a very delicate balance and the number of the whole quantity calculated from the weight of these All the small parts of the watch are counted in this way prob ably 50 out of the 120 When they have been cut the screws are hardened and put into frames about 100 to the frame heads up This is done very rapidly but entirely by the sense of touch instead of by sight so that a blind man with a little ex perience could perform the task The next step in the process is to polish the heads in an automatic ma chine 10000 at a time The plate on which this is done is covered with oil and a grinding compound and on this the machine moves them very rapidly by a ieversing motion until they are in perfect condition Chicago Record Herald The Drama of Londons Fog There is a whole world of drama bound up in the chronicles

to the eye than the ordinary variety but It is not on account of Its appearance that it is constructed in this manner Wheels that are cast in variably contract a little In the process of cooling and

Sample of a Series of Such Cases During L T Coopers recent visit to Chicago where his new preparation and theory created the usual sensation many hundreds o people brought enormous internal parasites to the young man which had left the system after taking his medicine Among these people was Mr Emil Winkler who brought to Cooper a tapeworm that proved to be over ninety feet in length Mr Winkler who resides at 182 East Ohio Street Chicago had this to say of his expe rience For five years I have been more or less complaining I have had severe headaches and any food that I would eat would nauseate me I would have bad dreams almost every night dizzy spells would compel me to quit work Black spots would appear be fore my eyes when stooping over and rising quickly I would feel tired most of the time In fact I had no life in me to speak of for the last five years I tried various treatments and one 8VWWWT physician In St Louis was recom mended to me and I was under hia treatment some time but as usual I obtained no relief So many people asked mo to try Coopers preparation that I decided to do so and after using it for a few days this awful thing passed from my system I feel much better already and I want to say right hero that I thank Mr Cooper a hundred times for what his medicine has done for me I would not take 5000 and have that thing hack in my system again Mr Winkler Is a fair sample of tho experience of many during Coopers stay In Chicago and this no doubt helped to account for the enormous sale of tho Cooper preparation In this city and others recently visited by the young man We sell and will bo pleased to explain the Cooper preparations A McMIllen v FRANKLIN President A C EBERT Cashier JAS S DOYLE Vice President THR CITIZENS BANK OF McCOOK NEB SHERIFFS SALE
