In the afternoon the Qneen will again drive through the city, visiting the Jordan, the ghetto of Amsterdam, where some 70,000 Jewe reside. At night the oity will be brilliantly illuminated, and again the Queen will drive out to see and to be seen. A sacred reveille will Usher in the next day, on which the Queen will be serenaded by the Netherlands Choral Society. In the afternoon she will witness an allegorical and historical procession illustrating in picturesque fashion the chief episodes and stirring events in the nation’s history from the time of the eighty years' war down to the nineteenth century. Besides all this she is to witness a water carnival, and on the next day go over the Ilouse of Orange section of the Byx Museum, attend a "matinee musicalo” and a gala performance in the theatre. The following morning the Queen and the Queen’s mother will take their departure. At the 'present moment the shop windows of Amsterdam are filled with portraits of the sweet-faoed Queen. There she is as a baby in the arms of her mother; as a little girl playing with her dog or fondling her pony; while more regal, and eagerly bought, is the picture of her majesty in robes of ermine and rioh velvet, with the Crown jewels adorning her. The Dutch Government has ordered home from Java all the jewels in the Treasury, which have been taken from the rajahs and nativo rulers pf that vast island, in order* to make for the young Queen a crown, a sceptre and an orb. Among them are some of the most splendid jewels in tho world. The following is the oath taken by the Queen: "I swear to the Dutch people that I will observe and always name of Wilhelmina Helena Paulina Maria. It is doubtful whether the loyal Netherlanders would to-day ex- THU PICTUBB THAT IS MOST POPULAR— WILHELMINA DRESSED FOR A DUTCH KERUESS. change her for any male royalty in Europe. A HOME-MADE FILTER. CORONATION OF HOLLAND’S GIRL-QUEEN. _ HOUGH the angry noise of war now dins in tho ears of the Old World and the New, t there comes frotn Hol land, the land of windmills and dykes, a peaoeful, happy note. The whole of the pros- erous little kingdom has been busy or months getting ready for tho time When the young Qneen Wilhelmiua comes of ago and is installed with •very ciroumstauoe of regal pomp and ••remony as sovereign of the Nether lands. Queen Wilhelmina now holds a post Mon in the eyes of the world mnoh like that which Queen Viotoria held cixty-one years ago, when she began* her unequalled reign. All the world regards with sympathy and interest a fair young queen. She is likely to prove a better sovereign than a man wonld, because she has a woman’s goodness and a woman’s defenoes against the temptations which assail a ling. That is why the young Queen is • centre of attraction. Wilhelmina ia now a fair-haired, AS a child, 1884. pretty young woman, with a well de veloped, supple figure. She is essen tially womanly aua gentle in manner and looks. The Queen has an unusual claim to the attention of ordinary human be ings. She is the only Queen who in sists on marrying according to the dictates of her own heart She haB fiercely resisted all tho attempts of her mother and her Ministers to choose a husband for her. Last year it was announced she wonld marry her cousin, Prince Bern- hard of Saxe-Weimar, whom the au thorities had selected as suitable. She refused to marry him, because he was too ugly and because she did not love him. Other matches have been suggested for her, but she rejected them all on sentimental grounds. The environment of the Queen’s girlhood has fitted her for quiet and un ceremonious sovereignty in what is vir tually a Dutch republic, although the ceremonies attendant on her corona tion are of an interost only equalled by the ooronation of the Czar and the celebration of Qneen Victoria's reign. It baa been easy to reconcile the young Queen and her mother to oil the details of a democratic festival conducted maiuly for tho entertain ment of tho musses. The Queen, when she enters Amsterdam in tri umph, will drive through the poorer section of the city as well as through the finest residential quarter, and every day for a fortnight she will he in plain sight of tho people both the and at the Hague. There will be series of popular fetes, with few /rxXS:'-. special privileges for the aristooratio classes. The attendanoe at the in stallation oeremonios in the ehuroh was limited to two thousand, and the state dinner ie mainly an official and diplomatic affair, with not moro than 250 guests. There will be a single festival performance at the principal theatre in Amsterdam, and there may be a very small oonrtball at the palace at ThA Hague. Everything will be done for the pleasure oi the masses, and very little for the entertainment of the privileged olosses. The Queen Begent and her daughter have assented readily to arrangements whioh are in aooord with their quiet tastes and simple manners. They prefer to please the many rather than to gratify the exolosive spirit of the favored few. According to present arrangements, the Qneen ami her mother are to leave The Hague, after the celebration of the eighteenth birthday anniversary. Arriving at Amsterdam, they will be met by the leading citizens And repre sentatives of the Government, and, es- oorted by kuBsars, will drive through the eity to the palace. Between the hoars of 7 and 8 on the QUEEN WILHELMINA IN A DUTCH NA TIONAL COSTUME, 1894. following morning trumpeters will arouse the citizens from sleep with sacred music from the steeplee of the various ohurohes.

I swear that I will defend and guard with all my power tho independence and the territory of the empire, that I will proteot publie and private liberty and the rights of all my subjoots, and that I will nse every meanB confided to me by the law to foster and uphold tho national and individual well-being, as a good Queen should do. And may God help me.” Quean Wilhelmina has boon (ruined' to poisesB all the qualities of a typical Dutch housewife. As a little girl Bhe had a little house of her own, where she did all the honsework herself. Her portrait in the national costnme of a Dutch housewife, with a linen coiff over her head, is one of the most pleasing presentments we have of her. THE LITTLE QUEEN AT THIRTEEN, 1898' Many clever or ourious sayings are attributed to the youug Queen. Once sho said: "I will never marry. I will reign alone like Elizabeth of England." Again, when her mother wished her to go to bed early, she said: "I will go out on the balcony and tell the Dutch people how you ill-treat their Queen.” Prom now on the snbjeot of matri mony will be inseparably associated with the Queen. She is going to marry for love. Who will he be? She is good-looking, amiable, accomplished, rioh beyond computation. He will be a fortunate man. Queen Wilhelmina is like Qneen Viotoria in that she inherits the throne after-a monarch notorious for his de pravity. Victoria’s accession was separated bv only a few years from the death of George IV., the worst de bauchee in Europe. Wilhotmina’s father, King William ILL, who died in 1889, left an un savory reputation behind him. His’ intrigues were tho talk of the world. He frequented the conoert halls, where jokes were made about his ad ventures. He laughed as heartily and applauded as vigorously as any one. He had no sense of shame, no con science, no scruples, no domestic affections. He was a standing satire upon monarohy. It was something of a disappoint ment to the King when, on Augast 81,1880, the heir to his throne proved to be a-girl. She was baptized by the oanter, a lamp glass, snoh as can be mrolvised anywhere for a few cents, >y way of a funnel, and a piece oi* sponge or cotton wool. Some people prefer eotton wool heosnse it oan be thrown away after a time and renewed at a nominal oost. If the sponge ia chosen it ought to be taken out often, oloaned in hot salt water and afterward rinsed 'in cold. The Bponge or cotton wool is placed for the distanoe of an inch in tho lamp shade. This is then covered by a layer of fine white sand, whioh haslieeh washed very olean,and placed in a fine Iayn bag. This mnst be paoked through the top of the glass, and spread out to fit aorosa by the aid of a long pencil or a skeWer. On top of the (and mnst be plaoed • layer of animal obaroosl whioh has been thoroughly washed by patting it in an earthen vessel and pouring boil- lhg water upon it.

It will then be as good as ever, and can thus be oleansed indefinitely. From time to time, also, the whole apparatus will want cleansing, and the whole pf the oharooal, as well as the bag of sand and the cotton wool or sponge, will have to be taken out and thoroughly boiled, or, better still, replaced with new material.

Candler, 1 has been ordered to Jacksonville, Fla., I and with the order is a notification that practically no volunteers will be mustered ont after this date. Peace is not yet assured and the conditions just now are such that the department has changed its intentions, and in stead of mustering out the volunteers, as was at first planned, before the peace negotiations are settled, it is now determined to keep the remainder of the volunteer army, and it is quite large yet, in force. » .... An interesting document in the shape of a deed of transfer in the deni between the Virginia aud Carolina Chemical Company, whioh absorbed the plants and business of the South ern Fertilizer Company some days ago, has been filed with the clerk of the court in Decatur. The document was a lengthy one, and in recording it a number of pages of the court record were required. One sheet of the doc ument was almost covered with docu mentary tax stamps, and represented a revenue of $442.50 to the govern ment The denominations were: For ty-two $10 stamps, four $5 stamps, two $1 stamps and one 50-cent stamp. m 0 « A telegram from New York reports a rumor there that food consigned to railroads to be delivered at camps in the south has been left to rot on the tracks, and that hundreds of tons of provisions on the lines of southern railroads have never been delivered. This report seems to have arisen from the fact that five carloads of partly damaged meat and flour' were sold at Atlanta a few days ago by order of the chief ooujmissary. Theso were Btored at Miami, Fla., to he forwarded to I Santiago as needed, but tho end of the ; campaign and the the return of the i troops prevented this, and this much : of the Buppty was affected by the heat | of Florida. Near a hundred cars have been returned to Atlanta in good con dition. The largest and most important mil itary hospital during the Spanish- Amcrican war has been that at Fort McPherson. Sinoe the conversion of the barracks into a general hospital 1,818 patients hove been received. Of this number 1,182 were of the regular army and 686 volunteers. At present there are in the neighborhood of 750 cases in the hospital, 350 being stricken with typhoid fever, and the balance suffering with other diseases. These men were brought from Santiago, Tampa, Feruandina and other points where regiments were located at the timo they were taken ill, but their places of nativity represent every state in the Union. Of this large number of sick soldiers 66 have died in the hospital wards. The will of Rev. A. G. P. Dodge was Hied at Brunswick Saturday. It bears date of July 10, 1896, and has a short codicil which does not material ly change the original. The estate in the majority ia giveu to the ‘diocese of Goorgia Episcopal church. The execu tors are his wife, his mother, John A. Foster and Rev. C. K. Nelson, bishop of Georgia. Bishop Nelson and Mr. Foster are oxpvesaly absolved from giving bond.
