A Royal Doctor,

Queen Amelie Of Portugal is a progressive
woman, in spite Of the fact that she is queen
Of one Of the least progressive nations in
Europe, and a daughter Of the conservative
house Of Bourbon. When this gay princess
married King Carlos l. Of Portugal, she
fell in love with him somewhat contrary to
royal CUSTOM. Some time ago King Carlos
figure went the way common to most stout
men, and though he has borne it with good
nature, to Queen Amelie it was a deep source
of distress. After travelling about with him

hc1ent knowledge of medicine to enable her
to conquer her husbands one weakness. Z
For hye years the queen has studied medi-
cine under the ablest physicians in Portugal,
and at length took her degree of NJ. D, Since
her debut as a full-hedged doctor OF medi-
cine she has been able to do more for her
husbands health than any Of the specialists
to whom he resorted. But the queen does
not apply her scientific knowledge to selfish
purposes alone She has established in Lis

OF the city receive treatment, often at the

mothers place is by no means an easy
one If she Is truly Interested in her children.
for she must feel that all these virtues must
be contained within herself If she accomplish
her utmost with her child. Self-control Is
perhaps the most difficult attribute for a
mother at all times. but one of the most i'm
portant. Mothers cannot expect to see it in
their children unless the child Ia able to see
the same in them. The first lessons may be
given little babe, as in it's attempts to help
itself 1t begins to climb and perhaps take
a step and down it goes. It's first inclination
is to cry, but the wise mother, instead of
snatching the little fellow up, running to the
window, showing favorite picture or
something to divert its attention, will lovingly
teach the little one to be brave.
AS the harder bumps come to the little life,
the being brave will grow upon him until
in later life he is prepared to face the more
serious distractions in his path with brave
heart and dependence upon self, when no
mothers hand can guide him through. The
great trouble in the homes of today is the
arbitrary controlling of the child by the par
ents and the sudden throwing him upon his
own responsibility, when the suitable age ap-
pears. If parents do not watch for every oD-
portunity to unconsciously implant self-cOn-
troll in the babe, the child, they cannot expect
it to drop as a gift from heaven when he
is placed where he must depend upon him
self.

pretty we'll over the globe by land and
sea, and met a large number of nota-
bilities. One cannot help thinking what
a pity it is that he does not hold the
picturesque pen of special CORE
spondent. Give Mr.. Richard Harding
Davis, for instance, the opportunities
of a United States admiral, and he
would keep the presses of his publishers
hot with the telling tales he would put
forth to be purchased by an admiring
world, instead Of condensing as Ad-
nairal Franklin has done, fifty years Of
exciting ght-seeing into a modest, If
portly volume, in whose pages incidents
are packed as closely as sardines in
sardine box. It goes without saying
| that this process of condensation is
carried so far as to irritate the reader
who wishes that the writer would oc-
casionally spread himself" and really
enter into the task of describing with
living words some of the interesting
things he passes over so dryly. How
