Holland is Just at present engaged in
extensive preparations for the celebration
during tie coming year of the centenary
of the restoration OF her national indie
pendence, Of the recall Of the House of
Orange, which had furnished long sue
eession of ilustrious Stockholders to the
Republic of the Netherlands, and o. the
establishment of constitutional mon
archy upon the foundations of the former
commonwealth destroyed by revolution
AIRY France in 1875. 1t is a celebration
which cannot but appeal to the people OF
the United States; for the Dutch were
among the earliest and most important
settlers in this country, their industry ana
enterprise aiding in its development.
Many OF the best known American
families are of Dutch origin; and ii must
not oe forgotten that the sympathies of
the people of the Netherlands were with
England's rebellng colonies in the New
World. in their struggle for independence
10 such degree as to lead TO Great
Britains declaring war upon Holland
which proved disastrous to the latter.

A Sweet Revenge

A woman entered a railway train
crowded with winter tourists, says The
National Weekly, and happened to take
a seat in front of newly married couple.
She was hardly seated before they
began making remarks about her which
some of the passengers must have heard.
Her last years's bonnet and CLOCK were
fully criticised with more or less rigging
on the brides part, and there is no tell
ing what might have co e next if the
woman had not put sudden stop to the
conversation by bit OF clever feminine
strategy.
She turned her head, noticed that the
bride was considerable older than the
bridegroom, and in the smoothest of tones
said:
MADAM, will you please have your son
remove his feet from the back of my
chair"
