THE DUTCH KING.
An Irritable Old Man In nj. DotsEs.
[From tho Galignani Mcssen0er.l


The numerous and contradictory reports con-
corning tho present condition OF William III,
excite almost as much interest in Belgium as
they do in Amsterdam or in the Grand Duchy
OF Luxembourg. The seclusion in which tho
septuagenariau monarch has lived for some
time past renders any attempt to ascertain
siderable difficulty, but hear from q reliable
source that at the present moment the weak
ness of his mind occasions far greater anxiety
than his bodily ailments. As a matter Of fact,
his habitual irritability has assumed m acute
form, but hopes entertained that tho crisis
may pass away without the declaration of
Regency becoming necessary. The Queen has
borne the violence OF his language with exam
plary patience, although some Of her husbands
orders have occasioned the greatest confusion
and no little CONSERVATION at the Loo. He has
of late developed an intense hatred Of every
thing German, and ono Of his severest fits
OF anger was provoked by the necessity OF his
signing patent making tho Emperor William
a Commander Of the rarely conferred "WilleIn-
sorde" Some of the Kings vagaries are ex-
tremey ludcrous. and his various caprlces en-
tail constant watching both on the part Of tho
Queen who, by the way, makes an admirable
nurse aud that of his personal attendants. /
hear that no immediate danger il apprehended,
although DIR. Schaepman tthe head Of the
Dutch Clericalsl, who was expected in Brussels
on Monday, telegraphed that he was unable TO
quit the Hague. The King is confined TO his
room, but the Queen has not deemed IL expedi-
ent TO summon any Of the Ministers to the Loo,
where extraordinary precautions are adopted
TO resist tho intrusion of reporters.

The corn question is thus disposed of In a re-
cent article on the care of the feet In Good
Housekeeping: Germs are the most universal dis
ease of the feet and a word about their proven
ton may we'll precede ythng regarding their
removal. In the first place a frequent and
thorough bathing OF tho feet is one of the best
possible Though not an iniallible) preventives
OF corns. Some time during each "a hours,
Summer and Winter, the feet should be bathed
thoroughly, and when there is tendency to
sweat or they are subjected to hard usage n
night and morning bath is preferable. But the
hard working man or woman may think this
too great n waste of time. 1t will not require
many minutes to battle the feet thoroughly
twice a day. for the task is comparatively light
when performed at short intervals, and to
say nothing of the added comfort tho proven
ton of diseased conditions Is we'll worth all
the time and trouble. The feet require soap
and water as much as the face and hands,
and argument against one may with
equal force be made an argument against
all. Feet thus bathcd will be comparatively
free from corns, bunions, and callousos,
dead aud wrinkled skin will be unknown, and
disorganiZed nails rarity. Still IL is fact
that corns occasionally battle all known pre-.
ventives. and put in an appearance under

the boot and shoe, they may sometimes be

and changing them daily or regularly at
longer Intervals. will enable tho wearer quite
frequently to avoid corns even after they show

Assistant Secretary Willets, Of the Agri-

Of six or seven as proposed by the local
