Queen Wilhelmina celebrated the
twentieth anniversary of her birth
day on August 81, and it was then
expected that she would announce
her choice at the banquet given in her
honor at Amsterdam. She only prom
Used that she would do SO lbefore
Christmas.
Not since Queen Victoria assembled
England's throne, 60 years ago, have
so many princes sued for one lady's
hand.
1t is absolutely imperative that the
queen should marry without delay.
The security of Holland, the perma-
ncnce of the dynasty and the contin-
uance of the country in quiet, mon
archical ways depend upon this event.
She is the last representative in Hol-
land of the ancient and illustrious
house of Orange, which is forever en-
deared to the Dutch people by the
services of William the Silent. All
her near relatives are descended on
the paternal side from some German
house and there is nothing the Dutch
fear more than absorption into the
German empire.
The young queen early showed
symptoms of independence in the
matter of choosing a husband. She
rejected her cousin, Prince Bernard
of Wcimar, because he was. sc
ugly. Nevertheless. it was confidently
expected that she would finally marry
man indicated to her for reasons Of
state.
1t was reported some time ago that
she would certainly accept the suit
of the German crown prince. 1t il
an open secret in court circles that
she was deeply in love with Frederick
William, a fact which was substan
tiated during her recent visit to Der
lin, where they were always together
When Kaiser Wilhelm stopped al
Schweringen after his visit to Queer
Victoria it was rumored that mattel
had been arranged. 1t is believed
that the queen declined on account O.
the deep-rooted antipathy of her sub
jects to the Germans and their fea1
of being absorbed in the German EN-
pire.

A Trifie Too Aesthetic.

An aesthetic English vicar at Wem-
bley will not allow the word "died"
to be put on the tombstones of the
people buried in the cemetery. He
insists on phrases like departed this
life," or passed away" or entered
into rest" and says that "died" is a
denial of the Christian teaching of i'm
mortality.

Illegal.

1t is reported that hunters have
been out on the lakes in Ramsey and
other counties at night with lights
hunting geese and ducks. This unlaw-
full proceeding is about the worst VIC
lation of the game laws that could be
made. Birds once scared by light
from their lakes at night seldom
return. The attention Of game war
dens to this violation of the laws is
specially desired by sportsman and it
is hoped some of the guilty parties can
be caught and fined. The law pro-
vides that such offenders can be taken
before the nearest justice of the peace
and fined from $40 to $lOO for each
offense. Offenses of this kind have
been reported from Arrowood and
Spiritwood lakes each season and in
fact from nearly every large lake
frequented by wild fowl. 1t is time
some one was pinched.

Cost of English Fox Hunting.

The figures relating to fox hunting in Britain are interesting and show that a large amount of money is an- nually expended on what is considered by some as barbarous practice and by it's followers as the finest form of sport. There are now 221 packs of fox hounds in the United Kingdom-1S0 in England, twenty-six in Scotland and fifteen in Ireland, and these packs consist of 5000 couples of hounds, and they necessitate the employment of 100000 horses of the value of S35. .000,- 900, involving an outlay of $25,000,000 per annum for their maintenance.

FIRST MACHINE TOOL.
Potte,s Wheel Appears on Monument
 Of Ancient Egypt.

There can be very little doubt that the petters wheel, or potter's lathe as it is also termed, represents today the most ancient form of machine tool known. Among the many scuIptured records Of the trades and occupations which so vividly represent the customs and habits of the ancient Egyptians, the potter and his wheel have been {opnd frequently depicted, and it is furious to note that through the al- most countless generations since that time this crude type of lathe has un- dergone no material modification. The primitive form was evidently small round table. set on pivot, and free to reyolve, being turned by hand at in- fervals, and to this device there were added in the course of time such sim- pie conyeniences as table to support it and a foot or a hand power turning arrangement, displaced, in recent years, in possibly few isolated cases. by actual engine power driving. In general use, however, the potter's wheel of the present time bears all the charactaristics Of the one which, 4,000 years or more ago, served to turn out pottery attestfng unsurpassable taste and skill. It is curious, too, that in noRe of those ancient records are there shown examples of the forerunner of the common turning lathe as we know it today, even though the art of turn ing. may be traced back to a very re- mote period Among Egyptian antiq- uities that have been found at Thebes and other cities there have been many specimens which exhibited indubitable signs that the material, while in revolution, was subjected to th3 action of a tool held at rest-legs Of Stools and chairs, for example, and lamps and. musical instruments-and in later centuries, among the Greeks and Romans, the lathe was undoubted- ly in common use. Unfortunately, however. none of these early writers have left any account of the lathes and tools employed by their contem- poraries-Cassier's Magazine.

Such physical vitality was amazing and their mental activity was equally remarkable. found them not only men of wide gen. eral culture, but they were thoroughly au fait in the affairs of the day and exhibited keen and lively interest in current events.
