WONDERFUL MOECK
THE ORIGINAL SPOTLESS TOWN 13
IN NORTHERN HOLLAND.
A Srntneaa and a Itrllllnner Thnt
Are Abaolntely Palnfnl rrrvado the
AVhole Place nnlea Which the In
lintiltanta Stoat Observe.
Knr up In northern Holland among
the dikes and canals of the little king
dom lies Broeck, the original Spotless
Town. The palings of the fences of
Broeck are sky blue. The streets nro
paved with shining bricks of ninny col
ors. The bouses are rose colored,
black, gray, purple, light blue or pale
green. The doors are painted nnd gild
ed. For hours you may not seo a soul
In the streets or nt the windows. Tho
streets nnd houses, bridges, windows
and barns show n neatness nnd a bril
liancy that are absolutely painful. At
every step a new effect Is disclosed, a
new scene Is beheld, as If painted upon
the drop curtain of a stage. Every
thing Is minute, compnet, painted,
spotless nnd clean. In the houses of
Broeck for cleaning purposes you will
find big brooms, little brooms, tooth
brushes, aqua fortis, whiting for the
window panes, rouge for the forks and
spoons, coal dust for the copper, emery
for tho Iron utensils, brick powder for
the floors nnd even small splinters of
wood with which to pick out the tiny
bits of straw In the cracks between tho
bricks. Hero are some of tho rules of
this wonderful town:
Citizens must leave their shoes at tho
door when entering a house.
Before or after sunset no one is allowed
to smoke excepting with a pipe having n
cover, so that tho ashes will not bo scat
tered upon the street.
Any one crossing the village on horse
back must get out of tho saddle and lead
the horse.
A cuspidor shall be kept by the front
door of each house, where It may be ac
cessible from the window.
It is forbidden to cross the vlllnge in n
carriage or to drive animals through tho
streets.
In addition to these established rules
It Is th custom for every citiz.cn who
sees n leaf or a bit of straw blown be
fore his house by tho wind to pick It
up and throw It Into the canal. The
people go BOO pnees out of tho village
to dust their shoos. Dozens of boys
are paid to blow the dust from be
tween tho bricks in the streets four
times nn hour. In certain houses the
guests are carried over tho threshold
so as not to soil the pavements. At
one time the mnnia for cleaning in
Broeck reached such a point that the
housewives of the village neglected
even their religious duties for scrub
bing and washing. The village pastor,
after trying every sort of persuasion,
preached a long sermon, in which ho
declared that every Dutchwoman who
had faithfully fulfilled her duties to
ward God In this world would find In
the next a house packed full of furni
ture and stored with tho most various
and precious articles of use and orna
ment, which, not being distracted by
other occupations, she would be able
to brush, wash and polish for all eter
nity. The promise of this sublime
recompense and the thought of this
extreme happiness filled the women
with such fervor and piety that for
months thereafter the pastor hnd no
cause for complaint.
Around every bouso In Broeck are
buckets, benches, rakes, hoes and
stakes, all colored red, blue, white or
yellow. The brilliancy and variety of
colors and the cleanliness, brightness
and miniature pomp of the place aro
wonderful. At the windows there are
embroidered curtains, with rose col
ored ribbons. The blades, bands and
nails of the gayly painted windmills
shine like silver. The houses are
brightly varnished and surrounded
with red and white railings and fences.
The panes of glnss in the windows aro
bordered by many lines of different
hues. The trunks of all tho trees are
painted gray from root to branch.
Across the streams are many little
wooden bridges, each painted as white
as snow. Tho gutters are ornamented
with a sort of wooden festoon, per
forated like lace. The pointed fa
cades are surmounted with a small
weathercock, a little lance or some
thing resembling a bunch of flowers.
Nearly every house baa two doors,
one In front and one behind, the lust
for everyday entrance and exit and
tho former opened only on great occa
sions, such as births, deaths and mar
riages. Tbo gardens are as peculiar as the
bouses. Tho paths are hardly wldo
enough to walk in. One could put
bis arm around the flowerbeds. Tho
dainty arbors would barely hold two
persons sitting close together. Tho lit
tlo myrtle hedges would scarcely reach
to the knees of a four-year-old child.
Between tho arbors and tho flower
beds run little canals which seem made
to float paper boats. They are crossed
by miniature wooden bridges, with
colored pillars and parapets. There
are ponds the size of a bath, which
are almost concealed by lllliputlan
boats tied with red cords to blue
stakes, tiny staircases and minluture
kitchen gardens. Everything could be
measured with the band, crossed nt a
leap, demolished by a blow. More
over, there are trees cut In tho shape
of funs, plumes and disks, with their
trunks colored whlto and blue. At
every step one discovers a new effect,
a fresh combination of hues, a novel
caprice, some new absurdity,
Tho rooms are very tiny and resem
ble so many bazaars. There are porce
lain figures on the cupboard, Chinese
cups nnd sugar bowls on uud under
the tables, plates fastened on tho
.walls, clocks, ostrich eggs, shells,
vases, plates, glasses, placed In every
corner and concealed In every nook,
cupboards full of hundreds of trifles
and ornaments without name, a crowd
ing disorder and utter coiifuslou of
colors. Public Opinion.
FOOD AND THE SEXES.
The Male lloman Keeila to ICn Mora
Than the Female.
According to n writer In tho Lancet,
the male hurann needs more food than
the female not only on account of bis
Inrger stature, but bIro because he Is
the more kntabollc of the two. Tho
man tends to expend energy nnd tho
womnn to store It up In the form of
fat; he burns the faster. This sexual
difference shows Itself In tho very
blood. The man has a larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman,
showing that he needs a proportionate
ly larger quantity of oxygen In ordur
to maintain his more active combus
tion, n fact which one may associate
with bis comparative freedom from
chlorosis. Moreover, weight for weight,
his pulmonary capacity Is greater than
that of the woman, whose smnller re
spiratory need Is further shown by tho
facility with which she can without
discomfort diminish her breathing
power by means of tho corset.
"The grent contrast between the
metabolic activity of tho two sexes,"
continues the writer, "was forcibly
brought homo to me by a military dis
play given by a troop of dusky nma
eons, with whom were also n few male
warriors. Tho women, In spite of their
dally exertions, were all rounded nnd
plump, some very much so, no single
muscle showing through tho skin, and
It was noticed that their movements,
though full of grace, lacked energy
and 'go. The men, on tho other hand,
were spare, their muscles standing out
plainly under tho shiny skin, nnd they,
In further contrast with tho women,
displayed a truly amazing ngllity,
bounding about nnd whirling round In
n most astounding fashion. The wom
en, In short, were essentially nnnbolie.
nnd the men were katabolic. I may
here draw attention to the fact that
men are apt to bo larger meat enters
than women, just ns they are, possibly
In consequence of this very fact, more
prone to drink alcohol nnd to smoke
tobacco."
SLEEPING HEROES.
Mlirhtr Men of tho F'nst Thnt Arc
Expected to Return.
Is there any race that has not lis
sleeping here? A correspondent re
cently pointed out that the time for the
fulfillment of the prophecy that the
tenth of Krishna will restore to India
her Independence Is near at hand, and
every nation has some such savior to
whom tho people look. West country
rustics still believe that Arthur did not
die, but sleeps In Avnlon, nnd that In
tho hour of Britain's need he will
awake, deliver the land nnd restore
tho golden ago. In Germany It Is a
popular belief that Charles V. will
some day wake from his enchanted
sleep to reign over Germany, Spain,
Tortugnl, Denmark, Belgium and Hol
land. Thousands of French peasants
hold thnt Napoleon is only sleeping
and thnt at some future time he will
reappear and rule. And Mr. Newbolt
has enshrined the Devon legend thnt
Drake Is only listening for tho drum.
Tho Irish peasantry steadfastly re
fuse to believe that Mr. Baruell is
really dead. They assert that his death
was a ruse, that he was an interested
spectator of his own funeral aud that
when tho time comes ho will emerge
from retirement to give Ireland her In
dependence. Every true Moslem be
lieves that when antichrist appears
Mohammed Mohadl will awake and
conquer him. A Moorish legend de
clares thnt Bobadll cl Chico sleeps
spellbound neur tho Alhambra nnd
thnt one day he will awake to- re-establish
the Moors ns rulers of Grana
tin. Tho Servians look to King Lager,
Slain by tho Turks in 1389, as their
final hope, and should Switzerland be
again threatened by tyrants Swiss
folklore declares that the three mem
bers of the Tell family who are sleep
ing at Uutili, near tho Vierwald-Staten-See,
will rise from their en
chanted slumber and maintain tho
freedom of the land. London Chroni

elaborato one, tho couple go to live in
the wife's house. If she tires of her

RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Cnrlona War flnme Drltlah Officers
DlacoTered Thla t"aet.
It la probable that few occidental
cooks who prepnro rlco In various
forms for diet are aware that In dis
carding tho water In which It Is boiled
they nre wasting what Is regarded by
tho orlentnl ns tho most nutritious part
of the food. This fact was curiously
proved some years since when a de
tachment of Europeans and native
troops In India found themselves be'
lengucred In a fort with Insufficient ra
tlons, even of rice, to enable them to
bold out until a force could march to
their relief.
It was when the officers were seri
ously debating this problem thnt tho
natives approached them with what
wns regarded ns a curious solution of
tho difficulty. If, proposed tho latter,
tho Europeans ook all the rice, they,
tho natives, would bo quite content
I with tho water in which it was boiled
. Tho suggestion, in place of any better.
wns adopted, when It wns remarked
that while tho Europeans found It dlf
flcult to maintain their strength on full
rations of rlee the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks' diet on
the water. When tho proposal wns
i made, the action of tho natives was
praised as ono of great devotion to
their superiors, but the sentiment wns
somewhat mollified when tho dlseov
cry was mndo thnt the natives were
qulto nwnro thnt tho principal nourish'
ment lay In the water.
Since thnt time Europeans In tho or!
cnt, following the custom of tho na
tives, hnve given rice water to pa
tients, particularly In enses of cholera,
ns a last resort when no other food can
I be retnlned In the stomach nnd usually
i with good results. But tho natives al
ways value this water so highly that It
Is never thrown away.
In fact, It would surprise many cooks
to discover bow much may be done
with this apparently worthless stocli

Sheep In Vnrled Clothlnar.
One of the results of tho lnvestlgiv
tlon of a special committee of the So
ciety of Arts Into the question of book
binding goes to show that sheepskin
Is often used by bookbinders under
very different names. They found
books bound nominally In Levant mo
rocco, hard grain morocco, straight
grain morocco, pigskin, calfskin, croeo
dllo nnd alligator leathers, nil of which
on close microscopic examination were
found to bo tho ordinary common
sheepskin on which hnd been stamped
the special grains nnd markings of the

committee, however, were satisfied
that In many cases both the boot

Twentieth Century Medicine.
The twentieth century has almost a
free field In medicine. Although much
hns been accomplished In the treatment
of diseases, the science Is still largely
experimental, and there Is room for a
host of discoveries. Terhnps by the
time this century Is ended there will be
a lymph or an antitoxin or some sort
of treatment for every 111 the flesh la
heir to, so that a few vaccinations and
other treatments will guarantee immu
