wIIHEEMINA'S TASTE.
Hollands Queen Hard To Suit in the
Matter of Husbands

4 cable dispatch. printed yesterday
in the Times. says there is talk Of a be
trothal of Queen Wilhelmina of Hol-
land. and Prince Louis Napoleon sec
ond son of the late Prince Jerome Ma
poleon PlOn-P lonD, colonel Of the Gar
mas Lancers in the Russian army.
Wilhelmina has been hard to suit in
the matter Of husband. Her mamma,
the Queen Regent. has presented for
her consideration several scions Of no.
BILE families, but the young Queen re-
fused to accept any of them. Among
them were the two Princes of Teck.
Adolphus and Francis. respectively ten
and twelve years older than Wilhel-
nina. She scorned Prince Bernard of
Sake Weimar because he was ugly
The boy King of Spain was discussed,
but nothing came of il.
But almost any girl would be proud
of Prince Louis as a husband. He is
not only q fine-looking. soldierly man.
with clean-cut. handsome features. but
he has hown himself To be a gentleman.

ton of pretender To the French throne

a SUCCESSFUL MINER.
Mrs. Barn>ton Parnen Has Won
Fame and Fortune.

Now that the passion for hlondike
rowing is stirring in the breasts of
many women. it is interesting To re-
call the success Of one woman in the
gold fields. Mrs. Barnston Parnei,
who has worked for more than forty
wears in the Australian gold digginss
and has won fame and Fortune for
herself as an ASA yiSt. is a brilliant re-
futatjon of the statement that women
are failures as miners. She discovered
the secret Of treating ore before roast
ing il. SO that as much gold as brown
stone could be obtained from IL, and
in this way she has initiated the work
ings of nature SO well that abandoned
mines are being opened and results
obtained with chemical aid that hum
dreds of years of slow development
would hardly produce.
Now Mrs. Parnell intends to found
a college in England to train women
for work in the mining regions, and
believes that their conscientiousness
and carefulness will make them inval-
liable as mining engineers, managers,
clerks and bookkeepers. The studies
to be pursued at the college are metal
lurgy. chemistry. bookkeeping and
mental arithmetic and one year. il is
thought Will suffice for a thorough
knowledge OF them.
Mrs. Parnell has patented her inven-
ton. and intends To set the plant in
operation very soon. so that women
viii find a new and well-paying as
well as a fascinating occupation.

however. look down upon their pro-

nurses were looked down upon just as

All the members of the association
feel that the sympathy of the public
and the medical profession is with
them. and that there are clever people
enough already connected with the
movement to make it a success if each
one will courageously assume the labor
necessary for making headway in any
great undertaking"

Training Alaskan Indians.

The Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, has been working in Alaska
for the last few years under great lin
itations. The Jesse Lee Industrial
Home. at Unalaska. is sheltering and
training about thirty Aleut children.
Great progress has been made. and
during the last year five of the more
advanced children were sent to the
sckoool of capt. Pratt, at Carlisle, Pa.
where they receive the thorough train

SCOTTISH LASSIES.
College Women Have Revived Patri-
otic Styles and Fashions.

Since the college doors were opened to
women in Scotland the students have
shown a pardonable patriotism in many
curious ways. The formal college cap
has met new rivals in the Flora Macdon-
nald bonnet, the Glengarry, the Tam
O'Shanter, the Cock of-the-walk, the
Bobbie Burns. and the Highland chief
tain. In wearing apparel there has been
a revival Of Scotch frieZes, CALIFORNIAN
shawis and historical plaids and tartans
Some Of the college clubs and societies
have adopted as a uniform the style
made famous of Scotch history.
The most general of all fashions. how
ever. is the use of tartans for street and
college costumes. The effect is described
as most happy. bringing to mind the
picturesque days of the Highlanders of
romance.

An Anlgatoi's Fatal Appetite.

tFrOm the Atlanta COnstitutiOnD
The Florida alligator has an appetite
that is hard TO appease. A fisherman.
weary with i'll luck. pulled off his boots.
stretched himself on the rivers green
banks and went to sleep. A saUrian in
search of dinner spied the sleeping
fisherman. crawied up the bank, swal-
lowed him and retired i'm good order. But
after time he remembered that the late
fisherman's boots were also repOsing on
the bank. A dinner without dessert was
no dinner at all: so he returned to taper
off ON the boots. But while be was in
the act Of swallowing them another fish
erman. recently arrived. shot him dead.
Probably the moral in this story iS-some
aIligators never know when they have
enough.

The Work of the Nurses Protective
Association

One year has passed since the gradual
ed nurses of New York. Brooklyn and
vicinity met for the first time in public
TO discuss their wants and needs and the
best way to improve their condition and
10 protect themselves. The Graduated
Nurses Protective Association Of the
State Of New York was the result. and
was formed with many promises of con-
unued prosperity and future benefit to
those connected with it. But the oppo-
sition made by the superintendents OF
certain training schools and by members
OF National association for the eleva-
ton Of The standard OF nursing i'm ;his
country and in Canada was a damper to
the enthusiasm of the originators of the
movement
The different hospitals and training
schools did not wish their respective
graduates h join the protective associa-
ton, and the so-called experienced

ings of indescribable JOY to the one
momentous event in life, compared
with which all others pale into insight
ficance, How proud and happy she
will be when her precious babe nestles
on her breast-how sweet the name of
"Mother?" And yet her happy anti

misgivings of the pain and danger Of
the ordeal, so that it is impossible to
avoid the feeling of constant dread
which creeps over her. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being a
mother can be entirely prevented, so
that the coming of the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with fear
and trembling, as is so often the case.
Every woman who reads this paper can
