The Wooing of Wilhelmina.

LOVR AT FIRST SIGHT.

Some interesting particular* of Queen Wilhelmina's coartship »nd be trothal are supp'ied by the Pariah correspondent of the Daily Ntws. Although the Queen of the Netherlandi made the acquaintance of the grand Duoal family at Ganne*, aha did not, it appears, see her betrothed until the went last year to Berlin, She had heard a good deal about him from bit sister-in-law, the Princess John, nee Saxe-Weimar, and the daughter of the lace Princess Pauline of the Netherlandi Duchess of Saxe-Weimar. The mom ent the Queen ar.d Prince Henry »aw each other they were mutual! j impreMed and so strongly, that the Qaeen w.oald hear of no other uitor. She pleaded " a cold " aa excuse for not attending % dincer where she was to pan in review a number of aspirants. The Qaftea Mother, seeing this, prudently curtailed the visit to Berlin. Inquiries were ,in due course eet on took about Prince Henry. AH the reports received about him were favour able, and the Queen arranged to hare opportunities to become better ac quainted with him. Instead of coming to the Kxhibitfon, she planned an ex cursion to Schwarzburg. Rooms were taken at an hotel in the picturesque cite for the Queen, her mother, and the Duchess Dowager, who was asked to be their guest.

Priuce Henry was not disinclined to fall in with the little plan. He ob tained a fnrlough to come and see hii mother. He got up recursions to the show placet in the Principality, »nd accompanied the two Qa?en» in their walks, rides, and drives She was supremely happy in his company, and was sorry when it was time for the party to break up. A* she waf leaving she said to thePrnca—" What a happy tour ! I never epent such a happy time in my life, »nd I feel I owe so much to you." Correspondence followed, and one fine morning the Prime Minister was summoned % . the Queen to Loo, She lost no tithe in informing him she was engaged, and to whom, said s*>e hoped th« Council would give its consent to the Prince of Meek le%t&fg^fldidlfg^Ct »«Tb« o|deat house iti Germany, its inter national situation was high, it played no part in European politics, Prince Hrnry could play no pait in German politics, his career had been highly honourable, and he was beloved in his family circle. "When yon see him," added the Q seen, "you will, I am cure, be of opinion that I could not make a better choice, either for myself or my people."

A Sensational Voyage.

FIBTEFN DAYS ON A CORAL RBBP.

The ship Springbank had » sensational voyage from Newcastle to Ska Franoleco. According to news brought) by the AJameda, she- was twelve days on hrr beam ends and fifteen days on a coral reef. For days it looked aa though she would never gat <m an even keel again, and then for weeks it Memed aa if ah* could never be warped off the reef. Still Captain Boyd and his men persevered, and finally the ship was gob into deep water again. There wae 23ft of water in the forepeak, and 2ft of water under the main hatch, but the collision bulkheads held, and the ship was saved. The Spdngbank left Newcastle on Joly 28th, with 3860 tons of ooai, and all went well until in latitude 32 degrees 13 minute* snath, longitude 173 degrees 8 minutes east. There a terrible hurricane struck the vesatl, and threw her on her beam ends. The o«rg» shittsd to port, and for twelve days aht wallowed in the trough of the sea. •In order to set the thip before the wind, 1 says Captain Boyd, 'we had to cad away th« sheets and halyards, and even th> n we had a terrible time of it getting the ship on an even keel. Big seas rna'ia clean breaohfc* over her,and the o*bin and forecastle were gutted, while the cook wae washed out of the galley, and for nearly a week we had to eat tinned meat and hard tack.

'On August 24 we croaaed the equator, and had fair weather for several weeks. Oa September 11, in latitude 26 degrees 3 min utes north, longitude 173 degrees 45 minatcl west, the ship ran on a reef; When I gol on deck we were hard and fast, and th« chances seemed agaiuat m ever getting off. When I could make an observation, I found we were on Lisiansky Island, a snrmll ooral aff vir, discovered by a c%ptaln in the Baaalaa navy, and named after him. ■When I found what a predicament wa) were in, I at once began to tighten the ship forward. We jettisoned 415 tons of ooai, and then, after fifteen days of heaving and hauling, we got her out through the channel, and itro deep water. It seemed that M soon as we cot i ff one reef were we hard and fr>Bt on anothr r. Onoe we were able to maka sail again, the pumps were sounded, and I found 23tb of water in the forepeak. Laokily the colliery bulk head held, and as the) ooe.l had all bren taken from the forward part of the ship, we made fairly eood progress. Once away from LUiantky Island, we had strong northwest to southwest winds, and made a good run to San Franoifco,'

Tired Feelings Due to Climate. The weather is often very trying. The blood becomes filled with impuri ties and. the nervous system is greatly weakened. One awakens in the morn ing just as tired as at night. Mr. John Dryden of Coolgardie, W. A., sends with his portrait the following : " I go about the country a great deal and have to encounter very trying weather, Wnea my system is run down by the peculiar de pressing climate of ours I always take SarsapapiHa It takes away my tired arid depressed feelings at once and builds up my system in every way. As a blood purifier and nerve tonic I believe it to be the best medicine in the -world." To get the best results from Ayer's Sarsaparilla you should take Ayer's Pills also.
