1t is almost time to prepare the bulbs
for their winter growth, and every wo-
man is anxious to know how It can be
done so as to assure her some beautiful
flowers in the early spring. Success

ideas In regard to bulbs. It says: "The
hyacinth bulbs should be planted in
September or the early part Of October,

arrived when, amid the faithful States Cen

shall pledge myself to the people Of the
Netherland to maintain their rights and
privileges. On this day draw more closely
the solemn tie existing between myself and
my people. The very ancient union Of the
Netherlands and the House OF Orange Is
confirmed afTesh.
Beautiful is my vocation. Beautiful Is

able to govern the Netherland people, a

Of the Fatherland."

death to them. BY digging the bed out
twelve or eighteen inches deep, and put
ting In a layer OF stone, old brick, etc,
five or six inches In depth, before again
filling the dirt in, 1t will insure good
drainage and keep the soil from settling
down sOlidly again. II the soil Is
heavy and not very rich, add a gener-
GUS supply Of very old manure and some
sand. The bulbs should be set about
four inches deep and five or six inches
apart, II large; small ones may be set
closer together. DO not pack the earth
about them too sOlidly, especially be-
meath them.
"AlOng In November the winter COW
ering may be put on. This should be
Of leaves or light litter from the barn
yard. Cover the bed to a depth Of seven
or eight inches. This covering must be
removed as early as possible In the
spring. It is quite necessary TO take up
hyacinth bulbs each spring, only to reset
them in the fall
For some reason the average home
florist makes dismal failure Of Easter
lilies; the bulbs either refuse to bloom at
ali or else have one or two sickly blOs-
SONS that are really worse than none at
all.
"TO begin with, the best bulbs are
always the cheapest in the end Bulbs
from eight to twelve inches in Gircum-
ference will cost more than small ones,
but 1t will pay ten-fold greater inter-
est on the money. For a bulb Of eight
inches use pot Ave inches In diameter.
AT least three inches Of broken pot
should be used in each pot. Over this
put twO-ineh layer of well-rOtted ma
nure, mixed with One-Quarter fine SOIL
Next put two inches more OF good rich
soil, either from a garden or prepared
BY this time the pot should be two-thlrds
full; II not, then increase the depth Of
each layer Of soil, until when the bulb
is laid on top it's top is just below the
lower edges Of the rim around the pot.
Lightly cover the soil with fine clean
sand, and on this set the bulb, not press
ing 1t In, but allowing 1t to rest on the
sand. Now flll in with fine, moderately
rich soil, close around the bulb, until It
Is just half submerged. Water with
luke-warm water, and set away In O
perfectly dark, cool corner and let Il
entirely alone for ten days. II upon eX-
animation then any signs of n sprOut are
shown, water sparingly and set away
again. AS general rule, in four weeks
roots will have grown, and at Ave the
sprout should be one inch high or per-
haps more. Bring the pot out now into
a warm light place but away from direct
sun rays. It should be brought into full
sunlight gradually and given luke-warm
water twice a week. When the buds be-
gin to unfold, move the plant away from
direct sunlight, turning II every day to
keep 1t growing straight"

The Young Queen of Holland.


Wilhelmina, the young queen of HOl-
land, was enthroned September 9th, just
six days after her eighteenth birthday.
1t was a day of great rejoicing for her
subjects, who love their young girl
queen with a fervOr seldom eQualed.
She is worthy all their love and loyal
devotion, for her life has been spent
studying to fit herself for her lofty Of
flee. No work has been too hard or
sacrifice too great If it was for her peO-
pie.
She comes to the throne with full
knowledge of the great responsibility
placed upon her and with the education
to handle we'll the affairs Of her sub
jects. She is a charming and brilliant
woman, full Of wit and humor, clever
taIker and of a bright and cheerful dis
position. She is very fond Of outdoor
sports and is fine hOrsewOman. Will
helmina has that best Of all earthly pos
sessions, a wise and loving mother,
whose one thought has been to fit her
daughter for her work. Between mother
and daughter there is the most tender
love and confidence.
The installation of the queen was
never spoken of as coronation. Will
helmina was given the full rank Of
queen but was not crowned The SER
vice was one of great solemnity and
beauty. 1t took place in the New Church
and from early morning until time for
the ceremony great crowds assembled
to witness the queens entrance to the
church. The princely families drove to
the church first, followed by the Queen
Emma in the carriage of state. The
trumpets then announced the Queen
Wilhelminas approach. She was es-
corted by the king-at-arms, gentlemen
of the household masters Of the hunt,
masters of the stables, and twelve cham
berlains Of Her Majesty. The sword Of
state and the royal standard were borne
by high dignitaries Of the church. Last
Of all came the queen, the one all eyes
were eager to see.
She walked from the palace to the
church along passageway carpeted, and
lined on either side by cadets OF the
Royal Military Academy and midship-
men of the Royal Netherlands Marine.
She carried herself with dignity. Her
robe was Of costly white silk with long
train; over this was mantle OF rich
red velvet edged with ermlne. On her
head was a diadem Of diamonds. Loud
cheers followed her until the church was
reached; then the crowds became silent
and remained so while the installation
was taking place. AS the queen entered
the church choir, consisting Of some
of the finest voices in Holland, sang
"Wilhemus yam Nassauwe." She was
escorted to the throne by committee
Of state generals. Her mother stood to
the left OF the throne and about her

The Battlefield.
Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands,
We're trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fierce hearts and armed hands
ENCOUNTERED in the battlecloud.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again
The eternal years Of God are hers
But error, wounded, writhes In pain
And dies among his worshipers.
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust
When they who helped thee Zee in fear,
Die full Of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall wield
Another hand the standard wave.
Full from the trumpets 3 mouth is peal'd
The blast Of triumph DER thy grave.

A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for the
Asking.

Medical books are not always interest
ing reading. especially TO people enjoying
good health, but as a matter OF fact
scarcely one person in ten is perfectly
healthy. and even with such. sooner or
later sickness must come.
II is also a well established truth that
nine-tenths Of all diseases originate with
a breaking down OF the digestion. a weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system. making il easy for disease TO
gain foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption. kidney
disease. liver trouble or a weak heart and
nervous system as long as the digestion
is good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty OF wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score Of ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way TO cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form Of stomach
trouble and do not know ii. They ascribe
the headaches. the langour. nervousness.
insomnia. palpltation, constipation and
similar symptoms to some other cause
than the true one. Get your digestion on
the right track and the heart trouble,
lung trouble, liver disease. or nervous de-
bility will rapidly disappear
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal Of Indigestion and its
accompanying annoyances.
II describes the symptoms OF Acid Dys-
pepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia. Slow Dyspep-
sia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia. Catarrh OF
Stomach and all affections Of the diges-
tive organs in plain language easily un-
derstood and the cause removed.
II gives valuable suggestions as to diet.
and contains a table giving length Of time
required to digest various articles Of food
something every person with weak diges-
tion should know.
