Woe Hangs Over Holland.

The Hague, April 21.--The condition
Of Queen Wilhelmina is unchanged. Her
physicians say it is impossible to predict
the date of the crisis in her illness.
1t is reported that one Of the maids OF
Queen Wilhelmina's household has been
attacked with typhoid fever.
The Queens mother burst into tears
when she was first told her daughter had
typhoid fever. She seldom leaves the
sick chamber.
London, April 22.--In dispatch from
Castle Loo, the corresponding of the
Daily Mail declares the information
vouchsafed the public minimizes the
gravity Of Queen Wilhelmina's condition
and magniiies her chances for recovery.
The gricf-stricken nation, which loves
the queen to the point of idolatry, is in a
state Of terrible suspense, while the
politicians are aghast at the possibilities
of fatal termination Of her illness.

answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable, as they can
always be depended upon. Then they

leave the bowels in natural condition,
