PICTURE GALLERIES AND CoLLECTIONS are generally open from 10 a.m. till3 or4 p.m. In all collections belonging to the state gratuities are forbidden; sticks and umbrellas must be given up at the door, but no charge is made for taking care of them. These last remarks do not apply to municipal collections. The usual gratuity at private collections is 4 fl. VI. Railways. Most of the remarks made with regard to Belgian railways apply to the Dutch also, except that the fares in Holland are considerably higher. In 1890 there were about 828 M. of government, and 866 M. of private lines in use. Holland also possesses an exten- sive system of steam-tramways The best railway, steamboat, and diligence time-tables are contained in Wan Santen’s Officieele Retsgids voor Nederland, published monthly (with map, price 25 ce nts). The hours of de- parture of the fast trains (1st and 2nd class) are printed in Italics ; v. (vertrek) means departure, and a. (aankomst) arrival.

The Dutch houses are generally lofty and narrow, and construct- ed of red brick and white cement. The beams occasionally seen pro- jecting from the gables are used for hoisting up goods to the lofts, which are used as magaz The windows of the ground- floor being generally of ample dimensions, and polished with the scrupulous care which characterises the Dutch of all classes, the houses present a far more cheerful and prosperous appearance than is usual in large towns. At the cellar-doors in the side- streets, sign-boards with the words ‘water en vuur te koop’ (water and fire to sell) are frequently observed. At these humble establishments boiling-water and red-hot turf are sold to the poorer classes for the pre- paration of their tea or coffee. Many of the houses and public build- ings are considerably out of the perpendicular, a circumstance due to thesoft and yielding nature of the ground on which they stand.
