Queen wiIhelmina of Holland.
Baltimore NeWi,


| Queen Wlihelmina, OF Holland, IS just
Is. and. from all accounts a very inter-
esting and pretty young woman. with a
spirit Of her own, and, il is TO be hoped,
will make an able, as well as a popular.
ruler. That her people like her is undoubt-
ed. and her reign starts under suspicious
circumstances.
The royal family OF the Netherlands.
known as the House OF Orange. descends
from the German Count Wilram, who
lived IN the eleventh century Wi.hel-
nina Is the daughter OF the late King
William III. According 10 the COnstitu-
ton Of the Netherlands. the executive
power Of tie State belongs exclusively to
the sovereign. There are eleven provinces,
and although the Hague is the seat OF
government and capital OF Holland AM
sterdam is the capital officially. The total
population OF the eleven provinces was in
1889 i.5ll, AS. The principal towns are Am
stcrdam, Rotterdam, the Hague. Utrecht,
Gronngen, Haarlem. ana Arnhem. AM
sterdam has 4 population OF 4sLls9, Rot
terdam 2S6, 1O5, and the Hague 1850. Ac-
cording 10 the terms OF the Constitution,
entire liberty Of conscience ana complete
/ social equality are granted TO the men,
| bers OF all religious confessions. The Pro-
testants number about 10000 and the
Catholics about 100000. Crime and pau
perism are comparatively small
| The Army Of the Netherlands is formed
partly by CONSUMPTION and partly by en-
| listment; the forces on footing OF war
number about cS,0OO men; In peace, less
| than 1900 men. The navy Is maintained
for a double purpose-the protection OF
| the Dutch waters and coast and the de-
| fence OF the East Indian possessions. The
country is free trading; Few duties are
levied. but they have only fiscal. not a
| protectionist, character In 1896 the iIu-
ports for home consumption amounted TO
| .6s5 OOO, coo guilders; the exports, 10 l.34O
| OOO.ec9 1t is a country famous for canals.
! The total extent Of the canals in 1881 was
/, l,aO7 miles.
| With a peace-loving, thrifty people. a
country too small TO figure in European
wars and ambitions, there seems no rea-
son why the young head that wears Hol-
lands crown should lie uneasy.

Experience That Made Him Rather

another experience I had once in thun-
der-storm that didn't work exactly that
way.
Il had struck house, very good
house, indeed, it was. too, that was
empty, as far as people was concerned,
but very full otherwise. The silverWare

one very pretty gown I saw had a
collar Of this description, Of white satin,
covered with Irish crochet lace. and a
vest, tight-fitting, by the way, to match.
The frock itself was built Of dark-bue
canvas. and had a foundation of the
same hue Of very fine cashmere. I think

they have been using this material in
lieu of silk for some time past in Paris

of the favorltes this fall-whose skirt of
three shaped fiounces had on each one
many rows of lace stitching. Where the
fitted bodice opened vest was revealed
OF glowing orange silk rouleaux. Joined
by lace stitches. With this note Of rich.
dark-orange an applique Of pale-blue
cloth running in narrow line down The
fronts made most perfect harmony. The
sleeves moulded the arm. but were mead
ed by square epaulettes OF the cloth, and
they. as well as the flowing cuff, were
lined with orange. To wear with this
gown was a toque Of brown velvet with
velvet sunfloWeTs at the side. For the
lovers Of gray was an immensely swell
sample thereof IN a soft and fine, yet
warm, cloth gown with an exceedingly
smart skirt, moulding the hips and flow
ing outward from the knees in a most
bewildering way, considering that the
effect was not produced by an added
fiounce. The fitted bodice. quaint with
lovely lace. and soft gray feather trim
ming curling around it's outlines, was
n dream. For this was a blue-gray velvet
hat with quite froth OF gray tips falling
over Its turned-up brim.
