CRIMINAL TYPE" NONSENSE.

A few years ago most Of us had con-
siderable faith in Lombroso's criminal
type" We looked at ear lobes and
finger nails, and thought we detected
in them the "stigmata of degenera-
ton"
This illusion was lost when it was
found that in fact the criminal was
about as well formed as the jury or the
judge. The criminal type" fell into
oblivion.
But the criminal mind" remained.
The psychology of evildoers must have
something in 1t radically different from
that of respectable people" We forgot
the force of the Rev. John Newton's
saying, when he saw a thief led to the
gallows: There goes John Newton but
for the grace Of God"
Now, however, such authorities as
Nacke and Baer and Dallemagne have
pronounced the whole edifice of 'crimi-
nal psychology" a phantom and de-
fusion. Criminals are just like other
people of their sex, age and condition
in life. They are tempted, fall and are
caught Especially the last), and that
is the only difference-Dr. Brinton in
Science.

BIRTH and EDUCATION
OF THE PRINCESS

/" HE happiest girl In all the world
is Princess Wilhelmina, for on
next Tuesday she is to be crowned
i Queen of the Netherlands. She is
just Is years old and will be ruler
over millions of people.
And the people of Holland are happy
because during the last eight years
they have been ruled over by enc who
was not of their own beloved house of
Orange, Queen Emma. But the Queen
has been a good mother and a good
woman and the people love her dearly
About o'clock ON the 31st of August,
1885, the report of cannon in the bar
racks at The Hague announced the
birth of an heiress to the throne of the
Netherlands. In an instant the tele-
graph wires netting the kingdom were
tingling with the same glad intelli-
gence, and the braZen mouths of other
cannon from one frontier to another
were spreading the joyful tidings. Tele-
grams were promptly sent to all
crowned heads and to immediate rela-
tives of the royal family.
Congratulations were at once for
warded by both chambers CT the States
( General. The Hague arrayed itself in
holiday attire; before the City Hall
there was a grand Illumination; city
councils convened and sent their good
wishes; the people were rejoicing in
the thought that the danger of an
elector being called to rule over them
was now more remote than ever, and
in the city register was entered the
birth CT Wilhelmina Helena Paulina
Maria, the same young woman who
will be crowned the day after to-mor-
row.
The coming of the little Princess was
matter of unusual Importance. Break
after break had been made by death
in the House of Orange, and when the
King, William III, on January Z, 1879
took as his second wife Princess Emma
of Waldeck-PyrmCnt, his only son
Prince Alexander, was evidently marked
by the finger of death. The birth of 6
daughter, therefore, strongly buoyet
up the hopes that had suffered such
shocks by the inroads death had made
into the royal household. The little
Princess was pretty baby, and on the
day Of her baptism, when she was 81,
weeks old, had all the ladies in tn,
country in love with her.
To the King the little Princess wa:
his hearts best affection, and he re

Charity and patriotism are two Of
her principal characteristics, and her
people love her for them.
Is this little girl able to rule Hol-
land?
The people think she is and will
never be SO happy as the day the
crown Is placed upon her head and
they can call her Queen Wilhelmina. I"
Truly will Amsterdam be gay during
the coronation ceremonies next Tues
day. These are to last as long as the
spirit keeps up. And in Holland that
is usually good long time.
There are to be balls, parties, re-
views, exhibitions, fireworks and any
number of interesting functions. Add
to this the fact that they take place
during the best season of the year.
The principal exhibition is to be a
collection of Dutch national costumes.
These will cover period from the ear
liest times down to the present day.
At The Hague there will be a special
exhibition Of woman's work.
Some may say that no one but a
woman would have thought of the
former, while it is perfectly natural
that the queen bee should take cog
nizance of the other busy bees of her
realm. There will also be procession
of ships, organized by Dutch sailors
each by it's rig and the uniform OF

trating the works of Rembrandt will
complete the serious part of the fes-
tivities, but there will be lighter forms

Who will be invited to this solemn
function? Every crowned head witt

Who will attend? None of the crown
ed heads, but each will be represented
by some one whose rank is less thai
that of the Queen. For it is first anC

Dutch esprit has not much apprecia-
ton of the value of a carriage to one
who has feet to walk with. However,
before US stretched the miles of Hol-
land country that we had come to see
and without a carriage there was abb
solutely nothing to do. l tried in. sue
cession English and French on the busy
peasants, but received only pleasant
smile in return and no information. AT
last on the window of a thriving little
store we discovered this soothing mes
sage, English spoken" Ordinarily the
stock of English behind such inscrip-
tions consists of not more than Yes,
nam" and Thank you," and l had
well-founded doubts of this institution,
but anyhow the very suggestion was
consoling and l entered. There was but
one man in attendance, who was very
much occupied in showing lace curtains
to several buxom peasants, who no
doubt were redecorating their best front
rooms in honor of Wilhelmina. There
were other customers waiting. l put
the question to him about the carriage
in very measured English, hoping not
to bewilder him in the start, and re-
ceived an answer equally measured and
under the circumstances quite surpris-
ing.
The stable is very far from here -
he said, but l will go with you and
SHOW you.
Without further ado he found his hat,
bowed politely to his customers and
walked fully half a mile with us in
search of that precious carriage. What

thing is certain, should the wheel of
fortune ever tIrn my way 1 shall GO
back to Zaandam and buy a Dutch lace
curtain for each of my friends and each

One thing that l have particularly
remarked in Holland is the frequency
of the Rembrandt type Surely this
genius painted the composite Hollander
masculine and feminine. In the young
faces / see the shadow of the wrinkleo
visages that he loved so we'll and the
old people of Holland are walking Rem

dom is of untold interest. Those who
find the square houses and the eterna

she became large enough to run about.
Her health was source of great con-
Germ in the home and throughout the
land, for during her early life she was
by nc means strong, and this anxiety
increased as the illness of the King
grew apace and Wilhelmina remained
the only child.
After the death of King William III,
about eight years ago, the young Prln-
cess was started on a course of study
to prepare her for the responsibilities
of her future position. This task was
left to her mother, the Queen Regent,
and has been fulfilled to the most ex-
acting requirement. The good woman
has ruled wi@ely and well and can pass
over the scepter of the monarchy TO
her daughter 18th a clear conscience.
No daughter ever had more just or
more careful training than Princess
Wilhelmina.
Her mother taught her obedience
and kindness. The little girls life was
as regular as clock work and her hours
for study were selected with great
judgment
Before she was ten years old she was
an example for all the children of Hol-
land You must do as the Princess
does, said the mothers to their daugh-
tiers.
Like all children Princess Wilhel-
On her first visit to Switzerland she
was seen carrying a small hand bag,
and when she declined to entrust this
precious burden to any one else some
thought it must contain her birthright
to the throne of the Netherlands, or
it's regal crown. But it contained
neither; in it was her pet doll, whom
she was taking with her to enjoy the
summer vacation.
From infancy Wilhelmlna had an
English governess, and French was
+ spoken in her presence by special
companion, so that as she grew up she
absorbed two languages in addition to
: her own. But the LANGUAGE of her sub
jects has always been kept in the fore
ground so that not even the most cap
tious critics can say that any attempt
has been made to wean her from the
Hollanders' love for their own tongue.
But it was not only the languages
which she studied-there was litera-
ture, science, music, and all the sub
jects that demand the attention Of a
person seeking the highest culture.
She rose at o'clock, had breakfast at
8, and work began at 8. Her general
education had been intrusted to DR.
Salverda de Grave, while the Court
Chaplain gave her religious instruc-
ton, and special masters were called
in for lessons along their chosen lines
of work.
Princess Wilhelmina has been g
great traveller as well as student. She
has been to nearly all the big cities OF
Europe and has been presented tt
most of the crowned heads. All through
her life she has been great lover OF
sports and nothi gave her greater
pleasure than to hand the prize to the
winner of any athletic event.

rity of the kingdom, to safeguard
public and individual liberties, as
well as the rights of all my cab
jects, and to apply to the task of
fostering the prosperity of the ma
ton all the means which the law
places at my disposal, as 1t is the
duty of a good Queen to do. And
may God help me in this"
Then, taking the crown passed to her
by the Minister of State, she will put 1t
upon her head, and resting there it will
register her vows, and all believe that
each word will be sealed by deeds. Nc
one who knows the character of this
sweet girl, writ in her own words and
acts, believes anything else but that for
the first Queen of the Netherlands hap
piness is certain and success is sure.
