Refused the Crown of Spain,

| The remarkable romance of Elise
Hensler. the Boston girl, who married
King Ferdinand Of Portugal. is recall
ed by Mabel Percy Haskell, in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. AT her
marriage Miss Hensler was created the
Countess of Edla, and with her royal
husband took up her home in the
beautiful Palace of Cintra. Had she
wished it the Countess of Edla might
have been Queen of Spain, for King
Ferdinand declined the crown of Spain
in 1863, soon after his marriage to the
beautiful American girl. 1t was Offer
ed to him by General Prim and General
Serrano, and both the King and his
lovely wife decided that their quiet
life SO free from cares of state was in
finitely to be preferred to the worry and
fret of a great European Court. Ferdi-
Hand died in 1885, and since then the
Countess has lived in retirement in the
Palace of Cintra. She is visited by
members of the present royal family
and is greatly beloved by them, for
they never can forget how fine and
good was her gentle influence over the
King, and they shared his admiration
for her. She is treated as if she had
been born to the purple instead of far
across the sea-"
The story is told Of the beautiful
Octavia lie Vert, in the March Ladies
Home journal, that when she was on
board of steamer going to Europe
she fell victim to seasickness. She
reclined in q chair on deck with
circle of admirers around her. A
Westerner had brought with him
costly robe OF bearskins which he had
designed as b gift for Queen Victoria.
But when he heard who was the love
ly woman on deck the gallant fellow
insisted that 1t should be spread over
her as his own country's queen, the
fairest of her race ~

We WILL NEVER SEE
II is said that at the Present Rate Of De.
crease the Sun VIII Disappear
In 10000 Years.

The usual Christmas course of lee
tnfes was begun at the Royal Institu
| ton by Sir Robert Ball. The sun, he
pointed out, was the source of all the
heat received by this earth. Now,
it was a well-known fact that most
things in cooling become smaller; a
poker, for example, was shorter when
1t was cold than when it was red hot.
The sun, too, must obey this funda.
mental law and must, therefore, be
getting smaller. If we could measure
its diameter On two successive days We
should find it had decreased nine inch
es-that is to say, it was shrinking at
ne rate Of, roughly, five feet week,
ora nile in every twenty years.
In view of this shrinkage some of the
younger members of his audience
might feel anxious lest the sun should
not last their time. Such anxiety,
however, was groundless; he was $780,
600 miles In diameter, SO it would
take 1000 years for him to be reduced
by 1900 miles to 5000, and the lee
turer was surer that If there were two
suns in the sky, one of 100000 miles
n diameter and the other of S53 900,
no one would be able to tell by look
ng at them which of the two was the
'maller. But as the sun was shrink
ng nine inches every day and had |
'een doing so for ages, 1t followed that
n the past he was very much greater
han he was now. But be always had
be same amount OF material in him
md weighed no heavier than at pres
Mt; hence the inference was that he

Philadelphia After Southern Trade.

Philadelphia is making strong ant
, persistent efforts to extend it's trad;
relations with the south. A delegation
of Southern business men is now il
the Quaker City in the interest OF th {
South Carolina, West Indian and In
tersate Exposition. The visitors speak
in cordial approval of projected steam.
ship lines now in contemplation be
tween Philadelphia and Southern ports.
Vice-President t1adsden, of the At
lantic Coast Line railroad system, and
other South Carolinians declare that a
| project which would receive general
support in Charleston would be g steam
ship line plying between Philadelphia
| Charleston and the West Indies. In
their opinion, Cuba and the other
| islands of tine West Indies are about to
enter upon an era of great prosperity
The Philadelphia Record of yesterday
States that telegram has been received
at the Trades League in that city from
the secretary of the southern Indus
trial Association announcing that the
New Orleans Board of Trade will give
its hearty support to steamship line
between Philadelphia and New Or
leans, and that enough business has
bsen pledged In the Southern city to
justify the establishment of the line.
Recently steamship line has been 81
tablished between Savannah and
Philadelphia. The Record also states
that preparations are being made for
the Southern Industrial Convention,
which will meet in Philadelphia in |
June. The Governors of many of the
Southern States have promised to at
tend and the leaders in all the manu-
featuring and commercial enterprises
Of that section have been invited to be
present. Altogether Philadelphia is
systematic and vigorous ef-
fort to get share Of the Southern
trade, and if energy and intelligence
will bring success the Quaker City may
attract some of the business which now
goes to New York. Baltimore has long
enjoyed intimate and profitable trade
relations with the South, and, in view
,f the superior advantages it offers to
southern merchants, will continue to
command the bulk Of the trade from
hat section. At the same time Balti-
should make use of ever op-
to advance their trade in
,erests In the South. Commercial
'ivarly was never keener OF more ag-
yressive than at present, especially in
espect to Southern trade.-Baltimore

''Let Us Quarrel Tomorrow"

My wife is one of the sweetest little
| women in the whole world, and | am
not considered peculiarly cranky, but
sometimes differences would arise, be-
ginning with the most trivial things
which, however. being duly nursed, be-
came of monumental proportions and
often threatened the peace OF the fami.
ly. Of course, l was commonly the
one to blame; intact, as l look back
on it now, l am sure l was always to
blame, for l should have had the wis
dom to give way on the no n-essentlals,
and by little restraint and gentle talk
win my little wife over to my way of
thinking. But instead of that, fear
ed should sacrifice my dignity (D, as
head of the family, by yielding. So
sometimes went to business without
my goodbye kiss, and two people were
miserable all day.
But my little wife had an inspiration
most women have when things come
to the breaking polnt), and the next
time our argument was drifting near
the danger line, she turned aside the
collision by this womanly suggestion,
Howard, dear, let's quarrel to-mor-
row!" This was proposal for an
armistice. What husband could re
fuse? "All right" said. 1--WE will
put 1t of till tO-tmorrow," and we
laughed and talked OF other things
But to morrow did not come Indeed,
to morrow never comes it's always a
day ahead and if we can only keep
our quarrels till then there will
be no more heart broken little wives
at home and fewer blue" husbands at
the Office. Let g quarrel to morrow -

Are There Too Mauy HoIidays2

The Philadelphia Press is convinced
that there are too many holidays in the
United States and that reform in holi
day-making is urgently needed.

declares the Press, "besides the 50 Sun
days and So Saturday half holidays, II
full legal holinays, viz: New Years
Day, Lincoln's Birthday, February
election day, Washington g Birthday,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Indepen,
dence Day, Labor Day, November
election day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas. Many believe that these IL
holidays are far too many. and that
they interfere with business without
returning any adequate benefit to the
people.
"Our legal holidays at present are
distributed through the years as fol-
lows: One in January, three in Feb
ruary, one in March or April, one in
May, one in July, one in September,
two in November and one in Decemb-
er. Seven of the II holidays come be-
tween November l and March /. The
leafy month of June, the lazy, languor-
GUS August and the mild October,
genuine holiday months all of them,
have been overlooked in the distribu

1.-The Rev. Canon Fleming" says
the London Standard in its account OF
the wedding, addressed the bride an
bridegroom as follows:
Beatrice and Reginald, with mu-
tual pledges and trusting hearts, you
have today entered on the most solemn
and eacred compact that can bind man
and woman together, for marriage is
the very sacrament OF love. 1t is often

it is founded, as believe In your case,
on true affection, there is no lottery in
1t. Two hearts that have hitherto
dwelt apart are today made one. two
lives that have hitherto been divided
run today, like quicksilver, into one.
In Joy and sorrow, from this hour,
there are two to share or divide it.
Beatrice, remember you are the wife,
or, as the word implies, the "woof" of
the home, weaving the threads of love
out OF your own gentle heart. to en-
viron him against the cold winds OF
life. This is rough world outside.
Let your husband return from it to be
always greeted with the sunshine of |
unfailing gentleness, for gentleness is
the loveliest robe you will ever wear.
Ii l venture to speak thus to you, it is
because l have known you so long, be-
cause l speak to you as an old friend,
because believe you have formed the
highest ideal OF the new relation into
which you enter today, and will seek
lelp from God to fulfill 1t. And for
7ou (the bridegroom), to whose shelf
ring care she is henceforth intrusted,
Who can doubt for moment but that
! soldier, so distinguished for his
idslity to his late Queen, and now to
lis King, so foremost in devotion TO
lis country, will cherish the young life
'ou take to your heart today, as a
lower given by God into your tender [
ARE, shielding her from every rude
reath and guarding her always with
pure and manly love. Duty is the ,
vatchword of the brave soldier, and
he same traits of character which have
lways found you where danger was
o be met or duty was to be done will
old you ever faithful and true to her,
