FAMOUS DOLL S HOUSE UTRECHT HAS ABODE THAT IS IN A MEASURE UNIQUE. In the Queen Anne Style, It Is Declared to Be a Complete Model of Its Time, to the Smallest DatalL Os all the treasures Vtracht poseevsea first and foremost is its worldfamous doll's house. It is the purest Queen Anna abode, complete down to the tiniest detail. Ordinary bouses can never give the entire idea of her period as thia little one can For. naturally, In the process of time the arrangement of everything alters; the structure is rebuilt, furniture and hangings wear out. and are discarded and later styles are introduced Whereas our doll's house, made not later than the end of the 17th century. has remained behind closed glass doors, lovingly cherished by Dutch housewives, the most careful and conservative of their kind, and it shows us just how the Dutchman of those days lived, and very much how the Englishman of a rather late date arranged his home. And now- to come to the doll's house and its history. It has evidently always been considered a masterpiece, for so long ago as 17"8 we find literature on the subject. The chronicler says that it owee its existence to a noble lady of Amsterdam. but does not give her name. Not only did she lavish years and the utmost loving care upon her hobby, but it cost her a small fortune besides, ccr tainly over 15.000. It was probably begun toward 1675 and finished about 1600. We know that In the early days of the 18th century it belonged to a rich Amsterdam tobacco merchant, from , whom it passed to hid daughter, who married a man with the romantic name of Slob. Mrs. Slob bequeathed It to her daughter, who also left it to a daughter. This lady died at a very great age in Vtrecht. leaving the doll's honso as a legacy to the city. Not only this, but It had also gone through a crisis that few doll houses can boast of. It had actually been burgled. One dark night in 1831, when It was temporarily located in a country village, thieves broke through and stole not only the gilt chandelier, the pride of the drawing-room, but also the silvered fi reirons. a tortoise shell inlaid cabinet, a chest of amber, inlaid with gold and ivory, and the platechest full of baby spoons and forks. Luckily the bouse was so amply provided that the furniture was not i missed, but the owner, distressed that the dolls should be driven to eat with their fingers, at once ordered a similar set to be made as quickly as possible. • Preaching and Criticism. James Rusaell Lowell's designation of the parson" as the chief person p the community may be contrasted with a remark by a New York preacher before the Yale alumni the other day, when be declared: "If a man has a decided leaning toward the ministry he must bo unconventional enough to brave s fs estimation in the eyes of his fellow-students as a fool." A bright young man may be regarded as a fool for entering a profession in which the average salary is hardly equal to the wages of a hod carrier, but he could not be set down as a tool as a servant of the people. Thu history of the ministry justifies the reverent estimate that puts it first among the protessions. The preacher has been the defender of the best things at home and has earned civilization to the uttermost parts of the earth. Our country and our age re-tpe-ct the priesthood of the church universal. Thu world does not expect an apology from the man who would help his fellow man. If the Yale students look upon young men who have leanIngs toward the ministry as fools then tin boot is on the other leg.—Philadelphia Ledger. Grabbing the Benefits. Jones joined a beneficial organization. and two of the brothers meeting on the street one afternoon, he became the subject of their conversation. "I understand. Jim." remarked one of the pair, that Jones is on the sick list analn. la that true?" "Yes.” ansstere.l the second, he has been laid up for about three weeks." "Awfully sorry to hear that." sympathetically returned the first "Gues* I will have to run around and see him. Where's his home?" "Hasn’t got any." answered the other with a significant smile Just ns noon as he Joined our lodge ho gave up his house and leased a cot In a hospital." — ■ - 1 Tango Music.
