When the queen regent Of the Meth
relands opened parliament at the
Hague last month, she stated that she
hoped next September that function
would devolve upon her daughter,
Queen Wilhelmina, who will have at
tanned her majority on Aug. 81, 1893,
and have begun her reign. The young
queen, who stood beside her devoted
parent. blushed with becoming feml-
nine modesty as the announcement
was received with hearty acclamation.
The winsome Wilhelmina is undoubt-
edly one of the most interesting royal
personages in Europe. Her charm of
personality, her native wit, her unaf-
fected dignity, bespeaking felicitous
combination Of the queen and the Hol-
land maiden, and her good common
sense. too often absent in such cases,
have made her beloved not only by
her own people, but by foreigners and
all others who have met her.
The past seventeen years have been
years of anxious care to Wilhelmina's
mother, the queen regent Emma. The
latter has, since Wilhelmina's birth,
on Aug. 81, 1880, lived in and for her
daughter, the training of whose mind
and the development of whose charac-
ter have been the royal mothers only
though. From all that is to be learned
about the young queen, 1t would seem
safe to predict that the parents devot-
ed efforts will be worthily rewarded.
FOND OF OUTDOOR SPORT.
During her earlier years Queen Will
helminas health appeared to be on the
decline. Consumption was feared.
Fortunately, by means of plenty Of
outdoor sport and athletic exercises
she recovered her vigor, and now she
possesses a physique which will COM
pare favorably for robustness with
that of most Dutch maidens of her
age. Apropos of her enjoyment of
open air games, and as indicative Of
democratic instinct, the story is told
Of her meeting party of children
playing SNOWFALL while she was driv
ing with her governess. She insisted
upon the carriage being stopped to see
the fun, and nothing would satisfy her
until her companion permitted her to
dismount and enjoy the excitement of
pelting Snowballs herself at her youth
full subjects, who, much to her delight,
returned the compliment with equal
spirit.
In contrast with this story, it is re-
lated that one> morning when Wilhel-
nina raped on her mothers door the
latter inquired who was there.
1T is the queen of Holland!" came
the reply
The mother, disapproving of this ex-
hibition Of juvenile pride, did not re-
spond. Wilhelnina raped again, and
Queen Emma repeated her inquiry
"It is your daughter, mamma" came
the reply, this time in repentant tones
The door opened Immediately and
mother and daughter were soon clasped
in each others embrace. AS a gentle
rebuke the mother said:
You see, my dear, 1 am not always
prepared to receive the Queen Of Hol-
land, but to my daughter my door is
never closed
INDIGNATION AT SPAIN.

so strong is the impression produced
thereby that I set on paper at once
the marvellous things the audience wit
messed, and the equally marvellous
manner in which they were accom-
plished. I have seen the greatest cir
Gus managers the world has produced,
but there was never one like M. Mo-
liere. In the audience of 200 of the
most fashionable people in Paris there
was not one who did not applaud as
they are never known to approve at
the theater; so magnificent was the
work of the horses, who seemed fair
ly endowed with human intelligence.
In every instance the performers

mails by means of whistles which they
understood as plainly as a person COM
prehends a word. I think that one
particular feature of the performance
in which the horses alone took part
was the most notable of all. Six of
them entered the ring unaccompanied,
even M. Moliere himself being absent,
and went through a series of evolu
tions without the slightest. signal that
would have been a credit to the most
thoroughly trained cavalry corps in
any European army.
These horses are the same that M.
Moliere uses in his private circus at
