HOW THE WOMEN AND THE DOGS «•WORK TOGETHER Sketches of Pretty Flemish. iMaitiens—Tno Holland Priest ami Dutch Death Crier. Belgian Agriculture and Manufacture. Ity Kallroads and Hotels. Pf- £Special corresnomlcncO ANTWERP, Oct. 15. ,, "A woman, a dog and a walnut treo, The more you lick 'em the bettor they bo'" This doggerel of the old saw seems to lie the rule in both Holland and Belgium. Susan B. Anthony and Henry Borgh should S)iend a summer in the low countries of northern Europe. Susan would go back thanking hor stars that American women have as many rights as they have, and Henry would applaud America as a country noted for its gentleness rather than for its cruelty to animals. In Belgium and Holland tho dog and the woman seem to do more work than tho horse and tho man. I saw hero in Antwerp to-day a delicate woman of forty years sitting on a stone pile in the broiling sun breaking stone with a heavy hammer. She was clad in a cotton gown, and her small feet were covered with heavy wooden clogs. Her head of brown hair, into which tho silver was creeping, was bare, and her sad face, bronzed with the burning rays of the sun, was wrinkled and worn. It was not a coarse face, nor one I judged that could not under favorablo circumstances have been refined and loving. But tho light was droivncd out of it by hard labor, and she did not smile as sho looked wearily up at me in re sponding to a question about tho way. You may see women here and in Holland helping dogs to pull carts, and sometimes they are harnessed themselves in company with the dogs. They carry great xoiuis upon their heads, and flu ali sorts of manual labor. Not many weeks ago there was a scandal in Europe as to the cruelties practised upon them in their work in the coal minus, anil I see them digging in the fields, loading hay, and acting as tho guards at the crossing of railroads. Going from Belgium to Holland at many of tho towns. it was a woman who raised and lowered the rail which shut off the traffic from the road crossing the trade, while the cars passed, and at other points both in France and Hol land a woman in clogs and blue cot ton gown and white cap held up the flag signal as the cars went by. BELGIAN, "IT 11-I I have not learned yet as to the wages of women here, but they ara undoubt edly less than those MXLK WOMAN. The milk of the Belgian cities is peddled about, by women in dog carts, arid your average .milk peddler is quite a picturesque object. Sho wears the costume of the'Belgian peasant woman of tho better class, .with a white cap covered with a straw poke bon net, a bright plaid shawl folded across her bosom and tucked in at her waist, a long dress and an apron. Her ctu is fearfully and wonderfully made, and its wide earliko flaps fall down over the front of her shoulders. She carries a measure in her hand and her dog is always well satisfied to sit or lie down when she stops for her customers. EELOIAN .PEASANT GIRT. These Belgian peasants have among them •ome very g«od looking girls, and when young they make quite a pretty picture in their Shaker-like bonnets and their Puritan-like caps. I remember one, especially, who had evidently come into Antwerp with her father, doubtless a prosperous farmer, to do some shopping. She was About 16 and her cheeks had the dark, rosy tint common to these people, who are ever favored by the breezes of the North sea. Her hair was black and glossy, and it hung down in bangs over her forehead, above two as gently beautiful soft hazel eyes as I have ever seen in any drawing room. Her cap was of the whitest, the rib bons of her bonnet ,a bright cardinal and black plaid,, and her bright red dress was filled with a square bosom of white plaited linen, a large loose collar was clasped under hef chin by a big breastpin of gold, and a fine gold chain suspended a jet crossover her bosom.. Her lips were as red as those of Ruben's beauties in the Antwerp galleries, and her form was as plump and round as ttiat of the models of this great Belgian master. Speaking of RuBexsft, Antwerp was Bis home for years, and it was here that he achieved his greatness. Tho people of Belgium are very proud ot him, and there is a great bronze statue of him in the Place Volte, in Antwerp, naar the noted eathedral in which two of his greatest pictures hang. They show 70U the mansion which he built In the Placo de Meir •and lead you to his summer house in the gar den and to the yew tree under which ho loved to Bit They w^Jl talk to yon about his career and his art Tney will tell you that ho was a learned man, and that his father intended Win for a lawyer that he did not like the law and went to painting. How he studied in ItaW-, and. how he dime back hope to make fortunes by his brash and to spend them as fast aa thoy weie made. How he lived lilaj a, prince and worked like a methodical 3 2 (to-. w* A BELGIAN MTLK CAilT. The dogs or. Belgium and Holland work •bout as hard as the women, but if I were to be born in Belgium, and had the choice only between being a working dog or a work iim woman, I would choose the lot of the dog. The dog gets a rest when his cart stops, the woman seems always busy. These dogs are as a ruis -,.f a shaggy haired variety of mongrel. They are strong and angular and thoy pull their loads without growling. Often three or four are harnessed up together and I have seen nobby little two-wheeled carts con taining four heavy men pulled by three doga Many of the carts are small two-wheeled hand wagons, which have a bar bobind for pushing, and this is manipulated by the woman vegetable seller or peddler. The dog, in thfa cas5 is" harnessed under the cart and he pulls aWay with all his might whonover his mistress orders. American man or Dusmess. How be consid ered his work worth $50 a day in the hard times of 300 and more years ago, and how he made his noted, pvipils do much of the work for him, only outlining the pictures and put ting on them, tho finishing touches. How he was court painter to half the courts of Europe, and how twice married he used his wife as the naked model for his most celebrated pic tures. All this and much more they v/ill tell yon, and if you talk to them of his art you will find that they think him with Rembrandt the greatest of artists. Undoubtedly he was a great artist, but his pictures are too sensual, his angels look too much like fat'country girls, and his beauties lack tho refinement of form and feature of those of such painters as Titian and Rafael Both Belgium and Holland are largely Catholic, and Belgium is almost entirely so. Out of the more than five ami 0110-half mil lions of people in Belgium only 15,000 are 1'rotestant and 8,000 aro JCWB. There is one priest to every thousand people, and each of these receives $140 a year from the state. Tho sisters' of charity and nuns number 13, 000, and tho subscriptions to tho church amount to $100,000 a year. Tho majority of the people in Holland bo long to tho Putch Reformed church, but about two-fifths of the whole population are Catholic, and there aro 70,000 Dutch Jews. The Catholic priest of Holland wears a black gown, and under this a suit of black clothes, with knee breeches, black silk stockings and slippers. His hat is broad-brim med and black, with a ribbon at its back, and ho haa a band of white linen about his throat Some of these priests in trav eling loop up their gowns behind with pins or buttons, so that they appear to bo wearing bustles* and are dressed more like women than men. I saw many Of them dur ing my stay in the Netherlands, and A. HOLLAND PRIEST. they appeared to be a prosperous, fun-loving, as well as a pious, set of fellows. The priests of France also appear very comfortable in form. Their complexions are fair and rosy, and thoy are the healthiest looking class of the whole French nation. 'There is in Holland a class of men half secular, half religious, which exists, I think, in no other country. It is that of the aen spreclcers OT undertakers—men who make it a business to announce tho death of persons to their friends. The aensprecker is a tall, ca daverous fellow, a, skeleton dressed all in black, with cocked hat, black knee breeches and stockings, and Vt '$|f black-buckled a about death no tices to funerals, and his portfolio is filled with tho cards of death announce ments. His very figure is enough to inspire grief, and tho black cr&po streamers which hang from his black cocked hat wave solemnly in- the breeze, which seems ever to blow over "v\ 1 the men, and the 0 men of Belgium are among tho poorly paid laborers of Europe. Thoy have 12 hours of work, and ordinary laborers get 03 cents a day miners 75 cents artisan? about the same amltim get from 63 to 75 cents, and workers in iron get from 75 cents to $1.13 per day. Holland,as he stalks gloomily along. There is more cere mony about funer als in Holland than DUTCH DEATH AN- with us. Tho cabs NOUNCfcB. furnished by under takers to carry the mourners have white cherubs of bone or ivory on their tops and Bides, and the doors are ornamented with white skulls arid crossbones. Belgium is noted for the excellence of its agriculture, and both it and Holland are ona vast park and garden. Of all Belgium only one-eighth is not cultivated, and ib is said there is no country in the world where farm ing is so profitably carried on. Riding through the country you see on every side of yon fiat fields loaded with the harvest, and only separated from one another by the dif ferent colors of the crops contained in them. There are no fences, and the roadways are 1(3 hard as asphalt and as smooth as boards. They are usually lined with trees, great for est trees, straight and tall, and as old aa the century. Here and there a stream cuts through the vast patchwork plain of growing crops and grass, and the banks of them aro also shaded by trees. You see few cattle in the fields, and those which are allowed to graze* are kept by herdsmen. Tho-farm houses and barns are low-structured build ings, bunched together and roofed with red tiles or gray thatch. The people working in the fields, men and women, are cheaply dressed, and the men wear caps and blue cotton, blousc-like shirts over their trousers. It was Sunday when I rode into Belgium from Paris. The ordinary week day occupa tions went on as usuaL Hen and women were digging potatoes'in the fields and load ing hay. Here was a gang repairing the roadway., and at 3 p. m. wo passed a rolling mill, and I saw an army of puddlers, naked to the waist, ladeling out the red-hot iron. Along the streams people were bath ing, and I saw score after score of boys, clad In the attire of Adam before the fall, prepar ing to take a Sunday swim. The Sabbath does not count"ror~much either here or in France, and Sunday is in Paris the great holiday of the week. It is then that the crowd on the boulovardsjs the thickest and gayest it is on Sunday that the races are held in the suburbs, and it is then that the maddest and gayest of Parisian pleasures go their merry immoral round. Sunday in England's cities is fully as slow as it is in those of America. On the continent it is the pleasure day of all the week. Belgium is one of the greatest manufactur ing countries in Europe. It makes excellent iron and steel, and it is crowding the Irish lineu factors very clisely. It is growing, too, in industrial enterprise, and, next to Holland, it has the largest ratio of industry per in habitant of any nation of Europe. Between 1870 and 1880 it increased $275,000,000 in its industrial and commercial interests, and its increase during this time was fully 30 per cent It is competing with England at all points in cotton and iron, and it has th» great advantage of lower rates of labor and longer hours. Wages in England are very low, but those of Belgium aro only about half as much, and the day is twelve hours long. These Belgians are much like the French in their tastes. They live after the «™™i» fashion, and love to sit outside of the caf5s and drink their sociable glass with their friends. In Antwerp and Brussels, which are the two largest cities of the country, you see many sights which remind you of Paris. Brussels, the capital of the country, prides herself on being like Paris, and she ^inq her Palace du Roi, which corresponds to the old palace of the Tuileries, her Bois de la Cam bro corresponding to tho Bois de Boulogne, and she is cleaning up and widening her streets in the same way Paris has been doing since the days of Louis Napoleon. The 0)& Flemish nation is passing away and a French Belgian people is taking its place. Tho French language is used everywhere in Belgium, the French monetary system of francs and centimes was long ago adopted, and tho airy manners- and customs of Paris are now tLo. beau ideal of t|ie descendants of the sturdy, fierce old Flemish of the past, Antwerp has about 300,000 people and Brussels is about twice as largo. Both cities are growing, and Antwerp is one of the great commercial seaports of Europe. Inj tbe Six teenth century Antwerp had 128,000 popula tion, and its heritors often contained 1,000 vessels *t one time during that period. It was during the time of Charles the ujost 'prosperous jrealthy city of SSurope, and surpassed even Venice, It had great coxn morcial fairs, and unnu ita business men -A:.'- '.'I' were 1,0U0 loreign commcrciai nrms. une of its millionaires died and left about^6,000, 000, which was an enormous fortune then, and it exported its carpets and gold and silver goods to Arabia, Persia and India. Spain and tho Inquisition killed it The old town in which its horrors of persecution were perpetrated still stands near the harbor, and during the Spanish regime the best of its skillod workers in silk and woolen were banished. Thay fled to England and gave the start to their industries there. By 1790 the city had been redu«el to less than one-third of its size, and shortly after this tho French got hold of it Bonaparte re built its quays and harbors, and had not Waterloo prevented, would doubtless have made it a great seaport It is now one of the best fortified cities IU the world, and its ram pai-ts can bo seen in coming into it on every side. It j.s estimated that it would take aq army ot 170,000 to lestege It effectually, and it is so constructed that its environs could in great part be laid under water in case of necessity. The railroads of both Holland and Belgium liavevery are ti about cents for second, and one and one-half cents for third class travel. Almost all trains have the three classes, and tho second class com partments are good. The roadbeds of Bel gium are badly ballasted, and tho rails so laid that there is much jolting. The smoking cars of Holland have little boxes on the win dows in which to put the ashes of your cigar or pipe, and cigars are generally smoked. The canals form the only railway fenoes of Holland, and in parts of Belgium the rail roads are fenced by hedges. You can go al most anywhere in Holland now by rail, and the system of Belgium is one of the most com plete in Europe. The custom houses of both countries are very lenient, and bona fide travelers have little trouble. I found very good hotels in both Holland and Belgium, and that at a rato of about $3 or $4 per day. A good hotel dinner in Hol land costs about $1 or $1.50, and a bedroom from eighty cents upwards, according to the floor, jaking foes at picture galleries and churchcs into account, one can travel here very comfortably on from $6 to $9 a day, and these amounts can be materially reduced if the traveler is willing to rough it and try the second class hotels. As far as the best accom modations are concerned, they cost about as much as in America. The only difference is, our hotels lump the charges, and you know beforehand what your bill will be. European hotels charge you, item by item, for what you get, and when you order the same things you would order in an American hotel, the total is about the same. FRANK GEORGE CARPENTER. THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNALIST. A, Brief Sketch of One of the Youngest & Editors of New York. ISpecial CorresDondence.1 NEW YORK, NOV. 1.—Allan Forman, editor of The 'Journalist, is one of tho youngest men on the press of this city who has accumulated enviable reputation in his profession. He writes with a good deal of dash editorially, and isn't averse to putting considerable pugnacity into print if tho subject be one that demands it Mr. Forman, with C. A Byrne and Lean der Richardson, started The Journalist in 1884, and a year later bought out his partners, and not only still lives, but flourishes. The Journalist has no rivals. It is the only papa in existence entirely devoted to other papers and writers, and it is likelier to grow in influ ence than diminish. Mr. Forman is married. His wife Is "a daughter of Harry Fenn. the well known ar tist and illustrator. He is so happy as a mar ried man that he sa3*s lie would get married again if lie could find another woman as good as his wife. The editor of The Journalist isn't a Her cules. He is slight, not very tall, but wiry and alert Just the kind of man a bully wouldn't be a bit afraid of, but would be rather sorry to have picked a fuss with after, it was over. He has a fair, girlish com plexion, hair somewhat after the shade of Wilkie Collins' Miss Gwilt, and wears eye glasses, but isn't a bit of a dude. W* Neither does he dis pense with pugnac ity off paper in everyday life. He is called a vindic tive fighter. His battles, however, are oftener in the interest of his friends than himself and he has no end of friends among the big and brainy of journalism. Few ALLAN FOBMAN. young men—he is only 28 years old—are so well known and wel! liked by the eminent in his own profession. But this isn't a matter of won der to those who know Mr. Formari. He is not only as entertaining a companion as one's imagination could invent, but manifests an old fashioned faithfulness in his friend ships as delightful as it is rare in mortals. He began lournalisai as special correspond ent of The Brooklyn Eagle from San Fran cisco and other points in the west in 1S78. He has been a contributor to Harper's Young People ever since it began to live, is a writer for Harper's Weekly and St Nicholas, the American Press association and other syn dicates. He was for five years in active theatrical journalism, and kept a clean record, and that is something no man can do who hasn't particularly good 6tuff in him. The managers and actors gave him genuine respect because he was honest, courageous and possessed ot ability. He has a direct style in writing, and calls things by plain, unvarnished names. He can be humorous without being coarse, and graceful without W lng weak. His talent for writing: chil ri.Wo d'VnTs |g stories has made him famous in that liite. A series of these is now being issued boos form by the Harpers under the title of "Thompson's Transformations." The stories are really lessons in natural history made so interesting that the juvenile reader sever realizes that he is learning anything by read ing them until he has learned it In fact, they are fascinating reading for grown per sons, being full of humor and sly little dabs of comment on human frailties, which we all recognize as true to life.
