Animal Paradise.
The animals which are lucky enough
to live in Holland are fortunate
creatures. Cows and pigs dot the
landscape in every direction and roam
with the sheep and horses in the pus-
tures bordered by the canals, which
they cannot cross. In Switzerland, on
the other band, the cattle are kept
shut up most of the time in dark,
stifling little stables because there are
no fences, and otherwise the animals
would stray.
The happiest dogs live in the Hague,
for muzzles are not compelled and
every one seems to take his dog along
when he goes for an airing. A touch»
ing story connected with the historyof
William the Silent, Prince of Orange,
may have had an influence in disposing
the Dutch people to a general regard
and love for dogs. On a monument.
of ths prince in a church at Delft is an
inscription referring to a favorite dog
of his. 011 one occasion when he was
in great danger from Spanish assas-
sins who were about to enter the tent
where 'he lay asleep, the dog jumped
on his bed and by barking loudly
awoke him in time to make lris'cscapey
Afterward, when he was assassinated,
the same dog is said to. have pined
away and died in grief. The line
statue of William at The Hague also
has the dog at his feet, looking affec-
tionately up to the face of his master.

A New Shaped Anchor.
For hundreds, perhaps thousands of
years, the’general shape of the anchor
has remained unchanged. The one
found in the woods of a West India
island and supposed to have been
brought over from Spain by Christo-
pher Columbus, differs little from those
in use at the present day, though
somewhat longer in the shank.
Last fall, however, an anchor was
patented that has no stock and can
be stowed by hauling m the cable un-
hawser pipe, leaving only the head
and nukes projecting, and these lying
flat. against the side of the vessel. The
head and fiukes are cast in one solid
piece and attached to the shank by a
ball and socket joint wni‘ch permits
them to rotate freely for a certain dis-
tance in any direction. Thus when the
anchor is dropped to the bottom it lies
flat upon the ground and there are no
projecting parts for the cable to catch
upon.
liukcs turn downward till they form
an angle of about forty-five degrees.
