NOTES.
In all official documents, Queen Wilheltnina of tbe Netherlands is referred to as ‘ the King I .’ For two hours out of the twenty-four her husband must play second fiddle. Queen Wilheltnina once remarked that ‘ her husband should be her loyal and obedient subject two hours of the day, ■when she would be devoted to the affairs of tbe State, but for the remainder of the time she would be his devoted and obedient wife/ Miss Jennie 0. Powers, a member of a Presbyterian Sunday-school in Germantown,, Pa., has been given a gold medal by the congregation for ■what is believed to be the world’s record in regular attendance. She went to the school first as a baby in her mother’s arms, and has not missed a single Sunday in 25 years. The plague of a new toy has swamped the streets of Berlin. It is the ‘little mama’ —a small whistle to put in the waistcoat pocket, and which imitates the whine of a small infant, with a shriek of ‘ Mama, mama! ’ in the middle of the whine. The toy is very popular, and in the most out-of-the-way streets, as well as the most frequented, the torturing cry is heard. It has come from Paris.
