In the year 1881, on the death of Prince
Phiibert of the house of Chalons, with

of Nassau. Indeed. from that time forth

way of material changes in the laws OF the
order was done. The next place of meeting
will be Detroit.
Last Friday night the representatives Of
seventeen courts and of seven circles of the

in the Alcazar building Tor the purpose of

that when, on the death without issue of
the last of the sovereign counts OF Tongue

part and parcel of Switzerland) beca me
the inheritance of the head OF the house
of Orange, it was allotted, not to the
Stakeholder OF the Meth eriands, but to the
King OF Prussia, VINO retained possession
thereof until 1857, when King Frederick
William " surrendered the prin clpality
to Switzerland in eturn for finan cIal COM

and his successors the title of Prince OF

Prince of Orange.
Queen Wilhelmine of Holland Is de-
scended in direct line from that Prince
John of Nassau to whom the treaty OF
Utrecht unjustlv awarded the throne OF
the Netherlands. Her nearest living rela-

now ordered are the two grandsons OF her
fathers sister, the late Grand Duchess OF
Saxe-Weimar, the younger OF whom she
has just refused to marry. Her other heirs
are, first of all, the sons OF the Crown
Princess of Denmark, whose m other was
Dutch Princess, and after them the sons
of Prince Albert OF Prussia, himself the
offspring OF Princess Marianne of the
Netherlands.
That Wilhelmine is more than match
for her mo her is definitely shown by the
fact that within the last few months

The St. James Budget tells of a
new electric bicycle lamp which has
recently been invented. 1t is called
the White electric lamp. 1t will
burn for twelve hours with a seven
candle power which can be
switched on or off instantaneouslv
and can be carried upside down if
need be. The cost for recharging
is nominal. Our local riders would
most of them appreciate lamp of
this kind, for one often sees them
standing at the road side vainly
striking match after match in the
trultless endeavOr to light an oil
lamp in the wind. There have been
electric bicycle lamps here already,
but the size of the batteries have
made them too heavy and clumsy.
In the new lamp the battery is half
the weight and more power is
stored than in the old ones. These
lamps will also be valuable ar
ranged as lanterns to carry round
instead of the clumsy hurricane
lantern of the present.

Nothing is so annoying in
business as being disappointed
in the arrival of goods that
are easily turned into money
and in a great many instances
prevented from filing orders
that have been placed in adj
vance. This has been our ex-
perience with the New Pro-
cess "Blue Flame" Oil Stoves.
living to the immense sale of
these stoves in the United
States, the makers have been
unable to ship until now our
invoice ordered some months
ago, the same having arrived
on the last Australia.
Possibly the most positive
proof of the success of the
New Process Stove is the re-
suit obtained in baking. BY
the use of a simple device it is
impossible to turn the wick too
high, thus ensuring a steady,
perfect flame at all times. The
use of coal oil (kerosene) is so
general that every household
is provided with it; hence there
is no annoyance in the matter
of procuring fuel. The num-
Der "1O5" has three burners,
and No. "1O6" four burners,
otherwise, they are exact
counterparts of each other.
We have few of the small
sizes in Golden Anvil Steel
Ranges, and a fine stock of
Pansy Stoves in numbers S,
6 and 7.
