Dutch Frows Not All | “Stay-at-Home Bodies” Though the crullers and cheesecakes of the Dutch housewife of Nieu Amsterdam are far famed, it is pot generally known that the Dutch women had other capabilities than those of a housewifely character. For they were very successful in trade. Many of the Dutch frows (women) owned stores in Nieu Amsterdam, Helen Guitar writes in the New York Telegram. The wife of a “dominie” (preacher) of that early day owned a store; and, unlike her reverend husband (needless to say), had an income comparable for those days to the income of a present-day prize fighter.

The Dutch women were also unusually successful traders with the Indians. A record has come down to us of a certain “female trader” of 1679 which serves to show both.her sagacity and the disfavor with which it. was regarded: - : : } “This woman, although not of openly godless life, is more wise than devout. She is a truly worldly woman, proud and conceited, and sharp in trading with wild people as well as tame ones. . . ~ She has -a huws-

band, who is her second one. He remains at home quietly while she travels over the country to carry on the trading. In fine, she is one of the Dutch female traders who understand the business so well.. If these be the persons who are to make Christians of the heathen what will the latter be?” .

One’s Ideal Residence - as Viewed in Dreams

It will be a colonial cottage in the Tudor Gothie. style, revealing the French chateau influence and embodying the best features of the English mdénor, California bungalow and Adirondack lodge, says the Kansas City Star. It will be heated by hot air, hot water, steam, electricity and gas; it will have a tile, slate, shingle, terracotta, asphalt, asbestos and thatched roof and will be painted in quiet tones of purple, green, red, yellow and pink. The house will contain many bedrooms to encourage one’s relatives, and very few to discourage them. The living-room will be long, low, high, wide and narrow, treated in the empire, Italian renaissance and late Flemish manner, with straight lines, a broken frieze and a footless pediment. ; ; Your home will be situated on a wind-swept hilltop on low ground in the midst of dense woods, ten miles from the station and within. easy walking distance of your office.

Cornish Bull

Two Cornish miners coveted a cow which belonged to a neighbor and lald plans to steal it. On their chosen night it happened that a traveling player with a trained bear had asked for and obtained lodging at the neighbor’s house. The owner put the cow in a shed in order to give the bear the run of the barn. The thieves arrived; one went to secure the cow, while the other watched. A clamor of cries and blows came from the barn. The neise filled the night and the lookout cried: ‘“Hae gotten ’im, Tam?’ The horgor of the unknown was in Tam’'s voice as he replied: “Hae gotten ’im? Nay! Kes gotten I!”—Everybody’s Magazine.

Mantis’ Odd Attitude

What are called in some parts of the world the “Praying Mantis” are insects belonging to the family of Mantidae, somewhat similar to -the grasshopper, with large protruding eyes. They are found in many countrles and endowed with many supernatural qualities by the credulous. The manti seizes its prey with Its fore feet and to devour pulls the prey in front of it with its fore legs assuming an attitude of prayer. In Japan the mantis are sometimes kept in cages and trained to box, being placed on exhibition for this purpose. They are quite common in the southern states. : ;

“Survived Himself”’

In France it is idiomatically stated that Flammarion, the great popular astronomer who died recently, “survived himself.” This is the French way of saying that the present generation has quite forgotten him and the older generations which clung to his words and delved with him in his form of astronomy had passed on. Flammarion was scarcely known by sight among the younger generation in the village where he died. Curiously enough, just before he passed away he bequeathed his heart to his native village of Montigney de Roi. : el i Care of Machinery @ - Two mornings a month should be set ‘aside for one of the most important household duties.

Crude Hooks .in Use | by Early Fishermen In France several caves have been found in which men are believed te have lived about 200,000 years ago. Ini these were found what are probably the oldest fishhooks so far known to have been used by man. These first-known hooks consist of a stone ground down into the shape of a small banana with a ridge cut in the middle, the string, or whatever was used for a line, having been tied around the stone in this ridge. Cavemen of ages ago took this bananashaped stone and covered it with meat. Then they kindly allowed a fish to swallow the whole thing. Then the fisherman would give a pull on the string, or whatever it was. The “hook” would straighten out horizontally and therefore refuse to come out of the water without the.fish, so, when the fisherman hauled in, the fish with the hook caught in his gullet, would keep the crude fishhook company. '

Around the lakes of Switzerland scientists have found various kinds of hooks considerably later than those crude relics from France. Many of the Swiss hooks are of bronze, some having barbs, but the really ancient ones were barbless and consisted of two hooks at right angles to each other. ; :

Cut Flowers Arranged to Express Sentiment

There is romance in the arrangement of cut flowers. At least that is what Japanese girls and women, who spend many hours in the arrangement of a few flowers, believe. It is lucky to have an odd number of flowers, they think. Three is a favorite number, although one, five and even seven are used. : :

. A three-flower arrangement represents heaven, earth and man. The vwuter in the vase or bowl represents the surface of the earth and each flower is arranged at a different distance from it. The flower representing earth naturally has the shortest stem, that standing for man having a longer one and heaven the longest stem. KEach of the flowers is always tipped in a different direction. In the spring the Japanese women bend the flower stems slightly to represent flowers in the wind. When a member of the household goes away, a willow branch {s bent and arranged in a vase to represent sorrow for his departure. When flowers are to be given away it is customary to give them in bud., Red flowers are used only for funerals. , -

Called Gas “Wild Spirit”

John Baptist Van llelmont, a chemist of Brussels, born in 1577, 'is credited with the first recorded Scientific observation of gas. He noted that his heated crucibles did “belch forth a wild spirit, or breath,”. which he called “geest” or ‘geist,” the Dutch and German for ghost or spirit. That is how gas got its name. : Van Helmont was searching for a means to ‘turn base metals to gold. Had he found a 'method and transmitted the formula to his successors it is doubtful if the world would have been greatly benafited. On the other hand his “wild spirit,” now tamed and at the command of the humblest household, is a daily and hourly necessity in hundreds of thousands of homes. - It supplies all the heat required in huge factories, and is equally adaptable for a single jet.

Malthusian Theory

~ In an essay Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), a distinguished political economist of his day, pointed out that the natural tendency of population is to increase more rapidly than tha means of subsistence, and that hence the time will come when population will outgrow the means of food supply. He counseled that governments should pass laws to restrict marriages, and thus limit the increase of population. These views were not original with Malthus, but were enunciated not only by Plato and Aristotle,r but also by Franklin, Hume and others in modern times. It was the merit of Malthus to have presented the doctrine in systematic form, with elaborate proofs derived from history.—Kansas City Star,

Old Belief Is Error

The Department of Agriculture says that in some regions certain organisms belonging to the genus Cordius, and somewhat closely resembling horse hairs, are not uncommon. They. get into the water by leaving insects and other small organisms in which they have previously lived. They go into the water for the purpose of mating and depositing their eggs. These latter are microscoplc and give rise to microscopic young ones. in enormous numbers, some of which later find their way into suitable hosts and grow to the size of the so-called hair snakes. This all takes place inside the hosts. ‘The hairs from the mane and tail of a horse will not, however, come to life.

Brick Goes Far Back

Progress in brick making is typified by improved manufacturing methods and by the numerous and beautiful brick faces that now adorn modern home buildings. - Brick, like cement, has been made for centuries. It fs periaps, the oldest manufactured bullding material, going back fully 2,000 years before the time of Abraham: Even in America the use of brick dates back to the time when the Indians in the Southwest made adobe brick thousands of years before the white man came.
