QUEEN WILHELMINA.
nf Alhany, Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law.
She married the king of Hol
land In her youth, and Is now barely
forty, nmlablc and handsome, and not
without cleverness and force of char
acter. Queen Wllhelniina has been
carefully educated for her high sta
tion. She kuows four languages,
Dutch, (icrman. French and English,
and her mother has sought to Interest
her In business of stnte. She Is bright
and Intelligent, and not without girl
ish beauty. She hns a will of her own,
and much natural dignity. With the
loionntlon the regency will come to an
end. There will be a great revel at
The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotter
dam, and then tho serious business of
match-making will begin. It will be a
lomance of roynlty like that of Vic
toria over sixty years ago. As the
union of England and Hanover under
the samo sovereign ended when Vic
toria usoonded the throne, so also Wll
helmlnn hns lost Luxemburg. The
royal lino Ib now nearly exhausted in
Holland, as It was then in England,
and the young queen Is expected to le
new and pcrpetuato It by marrlnge, as
Victoria has done. If she dies with
out children, the throne will pass to
German heirs under tho influence of
tho court at Berlin, which all patriotic
Dutchmen would deplore. Tho queen,
after her coronation, like Victoria, will
chose her own husband. It will be a
toyal match of unusual Importance. In
Holland, as at the opening of tho Vic
torian reign, loyal hearts will be touch
ed by this glimpse of a girlish queen,
in her simplicity and Inexperience,
playing a great part In state affairs by
marrying aright.

Queen Anielle, who has studied medi

to reach his cabin. Later on the queen
cnlied to see how her patient was.
"Then jou are a doctor, niadatne. slmo

asked the wood cutter, who did not
know his benefactress. "Yes, my good

DISCOVERY OF THE WINTER
HADITAT OF MARINE FISHES.
Off North Carolina Sliorm Clulnm Hint
Flh Do Not SI I r a to to IIMant Ite
glim, but .Merely Heck tlriaUr unit
Calmer Deptha.
The most Important discovery In
:onst Ashing so far has been made by
tho Ilsbernien offshore at Beaufort, N.
L, and there is reason to believe that
there will be far-reaching refliiltn ob
tained In the future through Improved
methods of deep tea seining, says the
3t. Louis Globc-Deinociat. In the two
winter months of .laui'iir nnd Febru
ary nil of our littoral species of llsh
disappear almost entirely from the
waters off our coast and llsherincn nre
compelled to fold up their seines ami
wait until spring for the reappearance
of their favorite game.
Scientists have concluded that the
Ashes go to mine unknown region or
depth of the ocean to breed during
these two cold months, and upon their
return in the sptlng they aro accom
panied by Innumerable hosts of young
fry. The discovery offshore heio is
nothing less than that of a winter nur
sery of our littoral species of llt-h.
From six to eight fathoms below tho
surface of the water the ArIi have been
fc.iind to be literally swarming In
countless numbers, and books and
seines let down to that depth Invariab
ly bring up i Itii hauls. The discovery
is important in modifying our prevail
ing methods of catching marketable
food llsh and In cheapening the supply
In winter and In furnishing the needy
workers with employment at an oil' sea
son. Naturalists have hcl!ccd for
somo time that most of our sea food
Ashes migrated to warmer climates In
winter, as our birds do, and returned
in the spring, but now It seems that
they merely swim offshore some dis
tance and drop down Into deep cor
rugations and i cumin happy and con
tented until spring returns. The llsh
aro found off Beaufort and Morehead
City In deep holes or con ligations. A
great variety of food Ash is found In
this winter nursery, such as the red
drum, gray 1 1 out or weakllsh, spotted
sea trout, bluellsb, iroukers and itinuy
others. Last winter the Ashermeii,
with deep sea Hues, managed to make
big hauls over these winter pasture
Acids. They let down lines from Ave
to ton fathoms and brought up big
game. But this was soon considered
too slow work, and special deep-sea
nets were manufactured for the pur
pose. These nets woro heavily weight
ed and when sunk to the proper depth
they brought up eiioimoiis hauls of
Ash.
This winter tho Ashing has been bet
ter thnn ever. Improvements have
been mnde upon the nets and the ilsber
nien have been scoring wonderful stic
ceshcs In tho first Ave days of Fob
niary 102,000 pounds of trout and 125,
000 croukcrs worn caught In this man
ner about two and one-half miles off
shore from Fort Macon, near tho sea
buoy, where the deplh averages six
fathomn. Tho Ashing has been so good
in places that tho men hno made as
high as $70 each in one day. Men all
along shoio out of employment are
flocking to the place to take part In the
Ashing. A man provided with a decp
sea lino and hooks, who Is willing to
endure the hardships, can make a good
living In this way. But It la no easy
woik to operate a Hue six to eight
fathoms In length, with several pounds
of lead and a live-pound llsh on tho
other end. Some of tho line fishermen
come In at night witli a boatload of
Ash, but their hands are so cut nnd
mutilated tbat they are unfit for work
the next day. Thick buckskin gloves
on the hands are necessary for the
proper protection of the skin. A new
Eort of seine has been used here this
winter for the first time. It Is designed
Just for thl3 deep-water fishing. It
closes up In tho shnpe of a long, nar
row eolpot, with n heavy weight at the
lower end. It dangles over the side of
the Ashing smack by several ropes,
which aro manipulated either by tho
men or a tackle. When tho lead
l caches the bottom the selno is allowed
to rest there for somo time while tho
men spread It open. This Is done by
means of ropes. Four rowboats leave
tho smack and each one pulls u rope
attached to it comer of tho seine. Thus
it is spread out on tho bottom of the
F.ea directly under the Hocks of sea
Ash. Then It is gradually hauled up.
A deep pocket In the bottom of tho
selno is quickly Ailed with so many Ash
that they threaten to break through
tho meshes by their very weight. In
each haul fishermen bring up at least
fiQO pounds of Ash. Tho numbers of
the Ash seem Inexhaustible. When
ono hiding place is pretty well cleaned
out the Ashermen hunt around for nn
other. The bottom of the sea off the
const hero Is undulating, forming deep
hollows or holes, In which the sea fish
hide. They uro nover found on the
ridges of tho bottom, but always In
tho hollows. Consequently tho fisher
men carry sounding lends wltTi them In
search of a now hiding place or winter
nursery. When tho wnter Is six to
eight fathoms deep they drop the net
nnd leave It there for a short tlmo
before hnullng It up. If they strlko it
rich they haul It up and let It down un
til their boat Is loaded.

DANCES DEMORALIZE SCHOOLS
Coloraito Conimnnlly AulUtcri Over
1'eenllar Condition.
Superintendent of Public, Instruction
Grace Espy Patton has received a let
ter from an Indignant citizen of Mcok
er. In which complaint Is made that
the order and decorum of tho school
Is seriously threatened because the
school board permits tho desks to bo
torn up and the school used for a danc
ing academy, says tho Denver Times.
After describing tho condition the
school was In, tho writer Bays: "This
wns nil tho result of using the school
house for u public darning hall. Know
ing that nn otderly school could not
bo kept in this sort of building, I ask
ed permission to arrange and fasten
the desks, This was given, and I la
bored for days (Saturdays) to get thin
accomplished and now have a very tidy
room. The board of directors then de
cided, so I was Informed, that tho
school building should not be used for
any purpose, except such as would
not require the lenioval or disturbance
of the furniture. But now some up
start takes u notion that they must
have nnotlier dance In tho sehoolhoiise.
and. In spite of my earnest protest to
the board, seems to have secured their
consent. Tbe county superintendent
nor the board of directors have provid
ed me with a copy of tho school InwB
of Colorado, hence I am unnblo to Judge
whether It Is lawful or not to uso u
public building for dancing purposes;
but It seems to mo that even If It la
not contrary to tho letter of the law,
It certainly niiibt bo to tho spirit of the
law. You well know that any public
gathering in a district, especially any
thing like a dance, Is bound to draw olt
the minds and attention of many pu
pils from their school work, thus de
moralizing and antagonizing tho work
of the school. It Is n common occur
rence hero for little girls of 12 to 14
years of age to go to dances and danco
I bo whole night. You can well under
stand the damnable Influence upon ten
der young girls and boys of such do
ings. I think, too, that when such n
thing as a dance Is held right In tho
sehoolhoiise tbe evil influence Is doub
ly great. You will oblige mo greatly
by giving jour decision or tho law an
to tho lawfulness or unlawfulness of
using public buildings In this stnte for
dancing. I do not know whether the
desks will be torn from the floor or not
for the danco tonight, but, It such is
done, can the teacher bo compelled by
law to teach again before tho school
building Is restored to tho samo order
ly condition as that In which I left It?
II must be remembered, In considering
this question, Hint a public dance, as
conducted here, Is a public evil. There
has never been a dance held thoro but
that empty liquor bottles have been
found on the premises or right In tho
pupils' desks. Please oblige mo by a
prompt reply to my questions."
