The Queen,when she enters Amsterdam in tri-umph, will drive through the poorersection of the city as well as throughthe finest residential quarter, andevery day for a fortnight she will bein plain sight of the people both thereand at the Hague.

special privileges for the aristobraticclasses. The attendance at the in-stallation ceremonies in the churchwas limited to two thousand, and thestate dinner is mainly an official and

diplomatic affair, with not more than250 guests. There will be a singlefestival performiiance at the principaltheatre in Amsterdam, And there maybe a very small court ball at the palaceat The Hague. Everything will bedone for the pleasure of the masses,and very little for the entertainmentof the privileged classes. The Queen

Regent and her daughter have assentedreadily to arrangements which are in

accord with their quiet tastes and 1

simple manners. They pr6fer to

please the many rather than to gratifythe exclusive spirit of the favored few. s

According to present arrangements, I

the Queen and her mother are to leave 1

The Hague, after the celebration ofthe eighteenth birthday anniversary.Arriving at Amsterdam, they will be

met by the leading citizens and repre-

- sentatives of the Government, and, es-. corted by hussars, will drive through

the city to the palace.r Between the hours of 7 and 8 on the,

11 o'clock, the installation of theNieuwe Kerk. In the afternoon theQueen will again drive through thecity, visiting oe Jordan, the ghettoof Amsterdd ' here some 70,000Jews reside, At night the city will bebrilliantly illuminated, and again theQueen will drive out to see and to beseen.

A sacred reveille will usher in thenext day, on which the Queen will beserenaded by the Netherlands ChoralSociety. In the afternoon she willwitness an allegorical and historicalprocession illustrating in picturesquefashion the chief episodes and stirringevents in the nation's history from thetime of the eighty years' war down tothe nineteenth century.

Besides all this she is to witness awater carnival, and on the next day goover the House of Orange section ofthe Ryx Museum, attend a "matineemusicale" and a gala performance inthe theatre. The following morningthe Queen and the Queen's motherwill take their departure.

At the present moment the shopwindows of Amsterdam are filled withportraits of the sweet-faced Queen.There she is as a baby in the arms ofher mother; as a little girl playingwith her dog or fondling her pony;while more regal, and eagerly bouglft,is ihe picture of her majesty in robesof ermine and rich velvet, with theCrown jewels adorning her.

The Dutch Government has orderedhome from Java all the jewels in theTreasury, which have been taken fromthe rajahs and native rulers of thatvast island, in order to make for theyoung Queen a crown, a sceptre andan orb. Among them are some of themost splendid jewels in the world.

The following is the oath taken bythe Queen: "I swear to the Dutch

- people that I will observe and always

maintain the Constitution. I swear (

that I will defend and guard with all lmy power the independence and the Iterrtory of the empire, that I willprotect public and private liberty and 1the rights of all my subjects, and that I

I will use every means confided to me

by the law to foster and uphold thenational and individual well-being, asa good Queen should do. And mayGod help me."

Queen Wilhelmina has been trainedto po3sess all the qualities of a typicalDutch housewife. As a little girl shehad a little house of her own, whereshe did all the housework herself.

Her portrait in the national costumeof a Dutch housewife, with a linencoiff over her head, is one of the mostpleasing presentments we have of her.

THIE LITTLE QUEEN AT THIIRTEEN, 1 89 3.

'Many clever or curious sayings are

attributed to the young Queen. Onceshe 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."Frqm now on the subject of matri-

mony will be inseparably associatedwith the Queen. She is going to marryfor love. Who will he be? She is

good-looking, amiable, accomplished,rich beyond computation. He will bea fortunate man.

Queen Wilhelmina is like QueenVictoria in that she inherits the throne

after a monarch notorious for his de-

pravity. Victoria's accession was

separated by only a few years from thedeath of George IV., the worst de-bauchee in Europe.

Wilhelmina's father, King William

III., who died in 1889, left an un-savory reputation behind him. Hisintrigues were the talk of the world.He frequented the concert 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 domesticaffections. He was a standing satire

- upon monarchy.ii It was something of a disappoint-

h ment to the King when, on Augubt

t A HOME-MADE FILT ER.

1 It Will Yield as Good Results as a H igh -

SPriced Apparatus.

A home-made filter for purifyingy drinking water for domestio uses isI i de scribed by the'New York Herald as

a consisting simply of an ordinary de-

canter, a lamp glass, such as can be pre]purchased anywhere for a few cents, ing;

by way of a funnel, and a piece of praysponge or cotton wool. Some people ing,prefer cotton wool because it can be mopthrown away after a timA and ronawed . aat a nominal cost. If the sponge is emlchosen it ought to be taken out often, incleaned in hot salt water and afterward Dilrinsed in cold. The sponge or cotton andwool is placed for the distance of an exeinch in the lamp shade. This is then '

covered by alayer of fine white sand, onewhich has been washed very clean,and peiplaced in a fine lawn bag. This must p

be packed through the top of. the i

glass, and spread out to fit across bythe aid of a long pencil or a skewer.On top of the i and must be placed a

layer of animal charcoal which ha -

been thoroughly washed by putting itin an earthen vessel and pouring boil-

ing water upon it. The layver shouldbe at least an inch deep and should be

pressed down upon the layer of sand.The filter is now ready for use. Wateris poured into the lamp shade and al-lowed to percolate slowly through tothe decanter beneath. After a timethe charcoal will be clogged and a lit-tle must be taken from the top andboiled for a few minutes and then

spread out before the fire. It willthen be as good as ever, and can thusbe cleansed indefinitely. From timeto time, also, the whole apparatus willwant cleansing, and the whole of thecharcoal, as well as the bag of sandand the cotton wool or sponge, willhave to be taken out and thoroughlyboiled, or, better still, replaced withnew material.
