POPULAR WITH THE PEOPLE.

The Girl Monarch of the Netherlands Has
 No Love for Germany.
 It is we'll known that for political reasons the German emperor desires to see the betrothal of Prince Albrecht of Prussia regent of Brunswick, and Wilhelmina, the girl queen of Holland. His wishes are not likely to be grati- fled, as her girlish majesty has no strong regard for Germany or her peo- pie. Her feeling in this regard is but a reflex of that of her subjects, with whom she is very popular. Queen Will helmina was fourteen years old on the 31st of August, and the occasion was celebrated with festivities throughout Holland. It is understood that her mother, Queen Regent Emma, would gladly welcome Prince Carl of Den mark as suitor for her daughters hand. The young queen passes most of her time at the royal castle of Loo, an ancient looking residence from the outside, but thoroughly modernized as to interior. Wilhelmina leadsa reg ular life, good deal of her time being taken up in study. Unfounded stories regarding her health have been pub lished. The truth is, the young mon- arch is an unusually nervous child, and for that reason lives as quietly as possible. When at The Hague or Amsterdam she and her mother drive through the streets daily.

FUN FOR YOUNG LAPS.
How the Youngsters Ensnare Dragon
 Tiles for Kites.

HOW the tOnnSsbcre EnSnaf0 CTaKon
 Tiles for Kites
 One of the great amusements for the children of Japan is catching the dragon fly" said Dr. ". F. Taylor, of Boston, who, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has spent several years in Japan. Japan is land of children, and thousands of them liter ally put in several weeks every autumn in capturing dragon flies and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. Soon after tho turn of the sun in the afternoon hundreds and thousands of huge dragon flies busy themselves flying here and there over the rice fields and gardens, catching insects and gnats. The Japanese boys carefully saturate the end of bamboo with tar and start out for the fun. They must hold the bamboo up to att tract the unsuspecting dragons to take a rest. In moment the boy gives the bamboo twist, and puts the tar end into % many motions that it is impos- sible for the creature to avoid it. The boys are so expert at the business that have seen them chase a fly that had gotten much ahead of them, and succeed in sticking the dragon fly to the reed. When once on the tar end of the pole there is miserable future for the captives. They arc tied to- gether and carried around in the chase. Then string is tied to each one, and small piece of paper, serving as a kite, which the poor flies are required to sail. They fly away, but of course soon get caught in tree or bush and die of starvation.

ALL WERE WRONG BUT HIM.
But tho Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally

But tho Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally
 Came to Sensible Conclusion.
 The obstinacy which is said to be characteristic of the Scotch is illus trated in the following story, which was recently related to a writer for the New York Advertisers: My father" said the narrator, "came over about seventy-five years ago and settled in Michigan, which, in that part at any rate, was a semi-wilderness As the country grew more settled my father, from the mere fact of his having been pioneer, became very prominent in civic affairs in the community. He was very conscientious, but extremely impatient of contradictions never un- derstanding why a person could dis agree with him, when he was so plain ly correct in his position. We'll, one night, contrary to his usual custom, he did not come home to supper. Eight o'clock came md the whole family was in bed and still he had not arrived. It was after one o'clock in the morning that his heavy step was heard on the stairs. My mothar, who had been anxious, met him with light in her hand. s,-s
 Where have you been9' she asked, looking at him seriously.
 "'Been on jury he growled.
 "'Why did you stay so late?'
 "'Stay so late2 There were eleven obstinate devils on that jury and it took me all night to convince them.'"

Treasures of the Kremlin.

The czar recently gave orders. at the suggestion of Russian scholars, that the underground rooms of the Kremlin at Moscow should be searched for hid den treasures. It Is hoped that in them the famous library of Ivan the Terrible may be found, which contained more than eight hundred Greek and Latin manuscripts unknown to the western world. In the vaults there must also be many documents relating to the his- tory of Russia, while popular tradition fills them with countless treasures hid den in times past.
