Wilhelmina, the young queen of Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run on somewhat massive lines. Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur | to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't §he pretty?” | The young queen has fine eyes, a clear complexion and a glorious tinge of rose-pink in her cheeks. Then her hair is the rich brown that painters love, and there 13 plenty of it. Wil- helmina has a reputation for dignity, but not long ago she enjoyed’ herself so much at a court ball, waltzing with the energy of a healthy girl who has temporarily forgotten she is a queen and only remembers she is young and happy, that a coil of her hair fell down and had to be pinned up again by a lady-in-v-aiting. This little incident set all tongues wagging. It was exaggerated and commented upon all over Holland with an anxiety only abated by the dis- covery that the queen’s partner in the dance had been her uncle, her moth- er’s brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his wife, who are both still young, are the only. people with whom Wilhelmina really fraternizes in a natural jolly way. She has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal family is limited to a very small circle. The two or three princes and princesses available are middle-aged, dowdy, and dull. Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys her “splendid isloation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her accession, that she liked independence, and in- tended to preserve it as long as pos- sible. Fan with Rubbernecks. In front of a five-story; Main street block there was the usual crowd of passersby. A heavily loaded electric car was just’ coming along. Suddenly a man rushed out from a store in the block into the middle of the strect. Gazing up to the top story, he cried out: “You'll fall, you will, certainly fall.” Everybody in sight stopped and gazed into the air. Those who were on the wrong side cf the electric clambered over to the right side to see their share. And‘there was noth- ing to see. No one was about to fall from the fifth floor; in fact, there was no one to be seen there. It was all a bluff, and the wicked bluffer hurried away to escape the vengeance of the COUNTY AND VILLAGE OFFICERS coUNTY. Auditor. k 0: ‘es0f Pro! Russell *. Booth COMMISSIONERS. No. 1.

UNFOUNDED OPPOSITION TO SUBSIDIES. Value of Ocean Flyers to the Gov- ernment in Time of Peace or War —Bulld Up the Nation’s Ocean Trade and Augment Its Naval Power, . {Special Correspondence.] Washington, D. C., Jan. 16, Considerable opposition to the payment of subsidies to swift American steamships has developed in the presse of the country. The statement has been widely circulated that these ships merely carry passengers abroad to spend American money, and to bring back wines and silks for luxurious cit- izens, and that such ships, so employed, are of no help to American commerce. What is wanted, these opponents declare, is car- go carriers, the low-powered steamships that take cargoes wherever they offer, and carry them wherever they am consigned, regardless of established lines. And these are the ships, they go on and assert, that have given Great Britain her preeminence as a maritime power. All this sounds plausible, and somewhat logical, and, if not analyzed by those hav- ing knowledge of the facts, heips to create an unfayorable and hurtfu! sentiment to- ward the shipping bill now pending in congress which properly considers swift steamships, as weli as slow civ». Asa mat- ter of fact, the swift steamships carry those products from the United S ates that are the most valuable, and, in many cases, the most perishable. Were it not for the fast steamship California fruits — a growing business—couid not be exported to Europe; with them, the exportation of Pacific coast fruits steadily grows and prospers. All kinds of ssed meats, ham, bacon, lard and an infinite variety of agricultural or farm products, that have gone through va- rious stages of manufacture are sent abroad in swift ships. Swift ships carry the mails; and it is es- sential that the mails be carried with the utmost rapidity. Invariably swift ships are parts of regularly established lines, and they make reguiar and frequent voyages to and from their terminal points. The swift- er, the greater, the more powerful the ships, the more profitable their use is to their re- spective terminal countries, but the truth is the less remunerative they all are to their owners. They carry the most expensive cargoes that go both ways, the manufac- tures upon which labor and skill have been expended, and which return the largest sums to their producers. > But these are the ships, the large, pow- erful, swift ocean flyers, that are most use ful to the nation in time of war. They are at once available as carriers of important dispatches, in cases where celerity is of the utmost importance; they are useful as aux- iliary cruisers, they can be quickly trans- formed into eruisers and then prey upon and destroy the enemy’s commerce; they ean act as scouts for fleets, and keep them informed regarding the movements of the enemy, keeping in touch with the enem} and eluding capture through their swift: ness. This was well illustrated by the four great ships of the only American line in the trans-Atlantic trade, during our war with Spain. They were eteaming at full speed between 500 and 600 miles a day, far out upon the Atlantic, keeping watch for Spain’s cruisers, ready to report them to the ing squadron at Hampton Roads. It was t scouting work, so effectively done, that compelled Spain to send Cervera far to the south, when but for them Cepvera might have threatened if not seriously and irreparabiy injured our great Atlantic and Gulf seaports. ‘The swift steamships are the nearest at- tainment to the ideal, the cotsummation of the highest hopes of the artists enga; in their construction, at once an effective dem- onstration of man’s best handiwork, and at the same time an invaluable aid to the na- tion when most in need of aid. Such ships are the final outgrowth of regularly estab- lished lines where a trade has been built up at great expense, after many years of faithful effort, and through a service that is thorough, complete and attractive. They arethebest of their kind and a nation whose people fail to appreciate them does not grasp the full significance nor the full value of sea power. The so-called tramp steamships, the ves- sels that carry cargoes wherever destined, are merely the carriers of the surplus car- goes that accumulate after harvesting, or at exceptional times, when the regular lines are overcrowded. But it is the regular lines that build up a nation’s trade—never the tramps—and they often do it for years ata loss, until they are thoroughly established and have accumulated a paying business. And Britain’s sea power lies in her great steamship lines, not in her “tramps.” O7If the agents of foreign steamships are deliberately working to defeat the pending shipping bill—as is being said all over the country—congress should be warned. The American people are not in the mood to see legislation helpful to a great American ii dustry defeated in the interest of foreign- ers. Congress is not, of course, deliberately conspiring to injure any foreign interests. But if the iatter happens to monopolize any great American industry, as they do the carrying of our imports and exports, and congress in legislating to promote this in- dustry in the United States does hurt for- eign interests, that is a mere incident, not the objective. C7If the foreign steamship lines are spending money lavishly to defeat the ship- ping bill now pending in congress, as is as- serted in Washington press dispatches, it must be that the bill in question would hurt the foreign ships. It that be so, it must fol- Jow that it would help American ships. Con- gress should not be slow to follow this ar- gument to its logical conclusion. © Congress, as a body, cannot escape its obiigations to the American people in the matter of providing legislation for the re- vival of our shipping in the foreign trade, by saying that this or that bill is not just perfect. The peopie clect congress to leg: islate in the interest of the American peo- le and they have no time to study all tho letails. Results count. 5 (Members of congress cannot be any more concerned to keep at home and cir- culating among American workingmen and business men the $200,000,000 now annually paid to foreign ship owners for doing our foreign carrying than the people are them: elves. What the people expect is that this sentiment will find expression in an ef. fective statute before adjournment. \ _ Us About Them. John Burroughs, the well-known bird lover and naturalist, describes in the Country Magazine a trip that he made to Alaska. -Among other things he says: “But we all climbed the mighty emerald billow that rose from the rear of the village, some of us re- peatedly. From the ship it looked as smooth as a meadow, but the climber soon found himself knee-deep in ferns, grasses and a score of flowering plants, and now and then pushing through a patch of alders es high .as his head. He could not go far before his hands would be full of flowers, blue predomi- nating. The wild geranium here is light blue, and it tinged the slopes as daisics and buttercups do at home. Near the summit there were patches of most exquisite forget-me-nots, of a pure, delicate hue with a yellow cen- ter. They grew to the height of a foot, and a handful of them looked like something just caught out of the sky above. Here, too, were a small, delicate lady’s-slipper, pale yellow striped with maroon, and a pretty dwarf rhododendron, its large purple flower sitting upon the moss and lichen. The climber also waded through patches of lupine, and put his feet among bluebells, Jacob’s-ladder, iris, saxifrage, cassiopes and many others. The song birds that attracted our notice were the golden-crowned sparrow and the little hermit thrush. The golden crown had a peculiarly piercing, plaintive song, very simple, but very appealing. There were only three notes, bit they were from out the depths of the bird’s soul. In them was all the burden of the mystery and pathos of life. INCCRRECT NAMES. Game Birds of America Misnamed by Hunters. It is remarkable that most of the game birds in the United States are known by names which are not honest- ly theirs. A man talks of going quail shooting or pheasant shooting. Neither of these birds is native to America, and the sportsman means he is going after partridges and grouse. There are indeed some pheasant preserves in the country, but in spite of assertions to the contrary the quail does not live on the North American continent, ac- cording to the authority of D. G. Hott in Outing. In the first place, quaii are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two much-confused birds are: The Mill of the true quail is small, weak, entirely different from the strong bill of the English partridges and of our own “Bob White,” and the groove of the nostril i mostly feathered. The nostril of the American “quail’—really yurtridge—is uncovered. Partridgs legs are scaly and spurred, while quails’ legs aro never so adorned. The quail’s tail is short, the feathers soft and light and not half so long as the wing. The partridge’s tail has from sixteen to eighteen feathers and is de- cidedly stiff. Ali the birds here gen- erally called quail, from the Bob Whites, the Messena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the southwest, to thease of the Pacific coast, are really partridges, as will be found by judging them scientifically. The ruffed grouse rarely receives its correct name, being called partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to locality. The grouse is knowx by the fact that its legs are always completely or partially feathered over. The partridge never has feathers 02 its legs. Girl Tramps Are Numerous, New Jersey has come to the front with a product entirely its own. It 1s nothing less than the female tramp dressed in boy’s clothing and stealing rides on freight trains. She is be- coming commen. Recently “James* Robinson of Philadelphia was released from the county correction farm at Trenton on payment of a $3 fine, the money having been sent here by teie- graph from Philadelphia. “James” iz a girl about 16 years old. She was arrested by a railroad detective and sent to the farm chained to six tramps. When captured she had a large revol- ver strapped to a beit around her waist, and upon being questioned” promptly admitted her sex. She re fused to give her name, but said she was trying to reach the home of her uncle in New Brunswick. The justice committed her to the stone quarry for thirty days in default of the $3 fine imposed. This is the third girl tramp the detectives have arrested at the coal chutes within a few days. The Home Interest of Children. Unquestionably children are the clearest facts on which we build our social structure of the future, but it should be held axiomatic in all such social reform work that the home idea is inseparable from every problom into which child life enters, Separate @ ehild’s life from his home, no matter how wretched his home, no matter how worthy the interest in the abstract, and you have made the poor little in- dividual a seat of discord, You have set him at odds with the life in which resides his origin and supp you have created in him a social tendency that threatens our political constitu- tions.—Harper’s Bazar. Colonel Cochrane's Record. Colonel Henry Clay Cochrane, who tas been ordered from his post at the Boston navy yard to the command of the marine forces in China, is a Penn- eylvanian by birth.
