.WILLT,, MILT ARE FOR: ',
YOU wonder, per:her/8i whet -the
people of this country scan want of
so many, -windmills,; but let me tell
you that if it had: not been for theie
mills in the past them "mild' he very
few people in
..Holland'new. ``The
windmills in one sense , - have made
the country what it ie. "Look ing. tip
on ybui map of Holland you will see
that the river Rhine, - which . kip its
source away ;loath:in , the centre Of
Europe among the, - mountains of
SWitzerland, here reaches the sea.—'
When it gets within about one-hun
dred miles of the lea it splits, itself
into a dozen Or. more . channelo,, all of
which,- after -winding and ' turning
thiough_it great: Mandy Patir their
waters' ,into the Oaten., ~. Holland,
.therefore; was once' a great -
Mari*, or,
bog. There are i. very few stones in
the country ; there are no mountains,
or hills, betone dead . ' level . of marsh '
land. - ' , ,
Hundreds , of Years ago the people
who lived near:; the Month' of 'the
Rhine saw that.the 'marsh land : : :was
very fertile; for the silt In the river
brought down every year from the
mountains made the land very rich ;
theysaw - also that if - they could only
get rid of the - Waters onthe:maritheS
they might lay out cab bage gardend
and little fume. They 'commenced
by building dams here
i i i and ~ thexe-
one on' the' branch of th -- ,Ehiet 'call
ed the Itotter—inid the place iii i time,
was' known as . Rotterdam ; another
on the Amstel," which was the origin
of the name ,of 'this city==Amster
dam.,,-- Ss all of the dams in Holland
came, not because the people were in
the habit of tieing wicked words, but
becanse they I llbuilt dame rein the
streams. But 'the water soaked thro'.
the embanktnents and every rain
made gardens ' , wet ; they dug ditch
es,ir.h into which e water settled, and
then Conceive the idea of building
windmillslotpumping the water into
the river. ~" , ! , : , -,'
They set on Of the forces, of na
ture=-the
tcire—the win d-=to work against' an
other force—the rain-=and as: .a gust'
of wind will turn several thousand
of mills just as easily - as it deep one,
they havenonquered the \rain—have
forced great;river Rhine to quit
the marshes, and h ave : begun to pump
'the ocean dry I- ,
all.
t,, That is the meaning of these
,giants swingingtheir arms from one
end of the year I to, thetother—day
and night-whenever there is.abreatho

. ins. cover/iv. .
To see the country as ; it is, imag
ine a great'intibankreent along the
- shore of the sea, against which the
waves are always dashing.-, iWelk
ing along the embankment you • no
tice that the land is ten, 'fifteen,
twenty, even thirty feet lower than
the sea, You can hardly realize that'
theee gardens; green with cabbages,
turnips, cauliflowers and other veg
etables, were 'once; the bed or the
ocean • that the waves rolled miles
/
and miles inland ; that vessels once
hailed where farm-houses now stand;
that fishermen let down . their hooks
and nets above those meadows. But
so it has been, land the story of the'
rise ariitgroistk and primping out of
Holland its one ,of the most interest
ing in all history. It shows us What,
enterprise,,lntelligence, perseverance
and hard work iWillnebomplish.

millions'of 'dollars to build ;_of the
new canal which they are now"cut
ting through the Marshes, so that the
largest ships in the world may come
tip to the wharves of the city ; of
the 'king's. palace ' 'its- magnificent
hall—the finesqn the world it is said
--One hiindredband twenty feet long,
sixty ;wide and • ono hundred high,
withoht a pillar..tb 'support the roof,
the walls of the whitest marble, sta.
tees, eagles,' }ions; cupids and lain
diedsi of figures' out in the marble,
beautiful paintings, and old tattered
banners drooping , from their staffs,
banners which were _taken from the
Spanish in the terrible war which '
raged in the time of the duke of Al
va Of Spain, and of William of Ilob
land called, the Silent. Thero n they
. , I
hang, trophies of. the heroism and
patriotism, the pluck and enduranc
of the people, who, ha,ving,e,opqrtere
the sea were determined not toi give
in to the cruel Spaniards of those
terrible times. It is glorious -to,
stand in that hall, not. merely to see
the splendor, hut to look up lb those,
time-worn , and 'faded ensigns i and
think of the ;heroism which not; only
gaie liberty; to Holland, but which
also gaVe_freedom, justice and right
a mighty uplift throughout the world.
Should anyf the boys andgirls of
America ev r visit Earope, they will
find a great deal to interest them in

A. regard to the kind of food_ we eat
is hardly more essential' to health
than the manner of eating it. , There •
lino country in the world where there , b
is such abundance of good raw mate
rial for the supply of
.the dietetic ,
cessities of Man,- or where there are
so many people with the- mettni -- 4-

It may lie added that'there is hardly
a. nation that derives so little eitjoy- -
pent and benefit as the AtOriean •
fromits resources.. These, which are
so plentiful with us, and, if properly
used, circulated to bestow so much
pleasure and physical good, give
great deal less_of either than the the
agre supplies of productive couutries. •
Our abundance of food; so far from
being . a hen4t, is made by perverse
use an injury. We have -so much
that we undervalue it, and deem it
unworthy of the care which is neces:
nary in its preparation for wholesome
nutrition. We thus confine ourselves ,
mostly to the grossernrtieles of diet,
or such , as are ordinarily called plain
'food, and which require but little art ,
to adapt , them to , the taste,
We are etitierly too carnivorous in
this country. We feed too exclusives.,
ly on'steaks of beef, chops of mutton,'
cutlets of veal, and joints of mea,
All our dishes being, 'Whit,the French
call pieces of, remstance,the national
stomach is kept in a constant state:-
of adtive assault.' This overstrains'
its energy, and produces that malady . '
so comnion with -ns which the dootors
call atonic dyspepsia; that is, the in
digestion which arizeithom weakness

The physiologis tell us that brio'
human system requiresfur its proper
nutrition a variety of food, There
most be due proportions - of oily, al

whole, is sufficient alone to.sustain
the health and vigor of man. Thero
'mhst be a proper quantity of each' in
every daily meal. , ' The experience cf
geed livers with their.regular ducces- -
sion of courses _of soup, - fish, • meat -
vegetables, and dessert, have long
since settled this matter of variety of
food to their own satisfaction, and in
_accordance • with the 'teachings of
science. Our conntry.friends are apt
to scorn all lessons from such a quar
ter' but we assure them that in,re
gard to their manner of eating they
may follow the example of the lash
onable with the advantage. • We
know_of nothing more dangelourto
health than the higgledy-piggledy ta
bles of our country cousins, .where,
flesh, fowl, fish, and the 'productions
of the'earth.a.re mingled together in
a profusion - that perpleies thetaste,
and, prevents all diseriminaton of
choice. ' To cat. such meals requiem '
the vorasity which 'rustic labor can '1
alone 'give, and•digest them demands
such a somach as nature refuses to . •
man, but grants ? it is said, to the os
trich.
• It IS always well -to•begin the din
ner, as the Frenchman does' with soup.
This .quiets the cravings of th; stom
ach, but does not coinpletely 8 atlofy
thohunger; and by thus subduing its
vorasity prevents it from inordinate
indulgence in food that is less-easy of
digestion. -'Sc also is there a good
