OBSERVATION.

I have been watching new house
right near nv house that is being
built. Two men came one morning and
surveyed and found the corners. AS
soon as that was done they went
away. About nine o'clock two young
men came up on farm wagon with
some old lumber in the wagon. They
unloaded it and by night they had
built shed, all but the roofing, for
tools. The next morning they brought
up some tar paper and rooted the shed.
Then they did not come for quite q
long time. About q week later they
came back in the wagon with two big
tool chests, spades and their dinner
buckets. They dug quite big hole
and drain for a cellar. Then they built
the foundation and put up a frame,
frame was built they fixed some
bords to walk on, and then barn
boarded the frame with the rest Of
the old lumber. Then they cut the
places for the windows and doors and
put the sashes in, lines the lower
floors and put the floor in up stairs.
Then they divided the rooms off and
put the windows in. They fixed the
roof In order to put on the shingles
and rooted 1t. After this they built the
porches. The next day they built the
chimney, and then lathed the house.
The next morning they wired 1t for
electric lights. The next day they

QUEEN WILHELMiNA AS A CHILD.

Dear Editor:
The queen of Holland is bright
faced. blonde little lassie who passed
her fifteenth birthday on August 81.
1895. She was rather pretty and had a
slender, graceful young figure. When
she was dressed in the peasant cos
tune Of Zealand, she looked for all the
world like one of George Boughton's
Gear, delightful Dutch maidens, except
that her cheeks were not ruddy. She
had a very delicate, clear complexion.
Her hair was pale, brown, and long and
Wavy. Her eyes are blue and there is
a delicious twinkle in them which sug-
gests that the young girl has a fair
sense of humor. Her Christian names
are Wilhelmina Helena Paulina Maria
Her father was the late William the
Third, King of the Netherlands Her
mother, who was the second wife of
that monarch, is the daughter of
Prince George Victor, OF Waldeck-
Pyrmont. and sister of the Duchess Of
Albany, the widow of Queen Victoria's
son. Prince Leopold. The little Queen
Of Holland rises at seven o'clock every
morning through the year. Queen Will
helmina has many dolls which she
dresses In every kind Of costume
known to the Netherlands, but her
most favorite pet is dog which she
calls Swell.
