The late King Carlos of Portugal
vas the only monarch of his time who
devoted himself to scientific research
for the good of his people. Becoming
deeply impressed with the Importance
of fisheries to a large number of his
subjects, he determined to study the
distribution and habits of the different
kinds of fish in the Portuguese seas
Beginning in 1896, he spent a part of
each succeeding year until his death
on his yacht, named Amelia, after his
queen, personally experimenting the
work of sounding, dredging, the col
lection and preservation of specimens.
But his services were not confined to
the ocean, for he took an active inter-
est in the welfare and pursuits of the
agricultural people. Dressed like one
of themselves" says Sir c. R. Mark
ham in the Geographical Journal, the
king was well known on the hillsides
and in the farmsteads" He plannea
to prepare a complete manual of the
birds of Portugal, and published two
sections on the thrushes and warblers,
containing notes on each bird, with his
observations on its first appearance
and departure, locality and habits, and
of his oceanographic campaigns are
given in six volumes, the title-pages

Unpoetic Feet.

Josselyn was feeling blue. He had
come home from his visit to a New
York manager with his drama-'tin
rimed hexameters or something like
that" in his wife's phrase-under his
arm.
As he sat gloomily turning the
pages of his rejected manuscript, his
wife fixed her eyes on him somewhat
critically. He looked disheveled and
untidy as well as detected, and she
could not help noticing it, But she
was ready to do the wifely part and
encourage him to fresh efforts.

Prof A Lawrence Lowell, in his
new and elaborate treatise on the
government of England, explains how
and why it is that the rule of the up
per classes is still as popular with the
great mass of the English people as it
is to-day. 1t is due, he tells us, to the
popular respect which the representa-
tive men of the upper classes com
mand by generally unstained reputa-
ton for probity of character. There
are exceptions, of course, but as a
rule they maintain clean and upright
standing IL this reputation were to
be seriously impaired. the ruling class
would be promptly swept from power.
1t is high character and the popular
appreciation of it that holds the SUI
premacy.

The Cheap Show Evil.
n. s. GIvLER. Pub.
KANSAS

The action of the council last night
in refusing to renew as license for a
moving picture show of which serious
the aldermen have the proper view of
this subject, asserts the Duluth
(Minn-) Evening Herald. The cheap
shows which have swarmed into all
cities in the past few years have
given rise to considerable annoyance
and have caused city authorities more
trouble than they are worth AS a
rule they are located in cheap, f1imsy
buildings, where there is great danger
of fire, and even greater danger of
panic in case of false alarms of fire.
Exits are few and difficult and fire pro-
lection inadequate Besides, there is
a constant temptation to stimulate in
terest in these affairs by the introduc-
ton of obscene pictures, and the ex-
pectation of this draws a very undesir-
able class of patrons, making many of
these places centers of grave social
dangers. There is no reason why reg
ulations for the protection of audi
ences should be less rigid in these
places than in larger theaters. There
should always be plenty of exits, and
the requirements as to fire protection
should be ample Especially important
Is the necessity of guarding against
panic Last Saturday in st. Paul the
Pickering of picture films in the dark
caused a false alarm of fire at NOV
ing picture show, and a catastrophe
was narrowly averted. These places,
which are unwelcome features of city
life at their best, should be watched
carefully This is the tendency every
where Chicago in one day recently
wiped out fifty of its cheap shows.

"Oh, no! I'm too heavy, I'm such
a big girl.' Miss Hamilton inter-
rupted, looking up at him with tired,
appealing eyes. Stella, thinking of her
own largeness, felt this last sentence
to be sheer affectation.
For answer, Alfred gathered her
easily in his arms, and Stella recog-
nized the quiet authority in his voice
You cannot stay here. I'll carry you
gently. Don't worry, you're only a
fairy weight. I'll call Miss Anthony
Stella had seen the delicate face set
tie against his shoulder, had felt the
solicitude in his tones They came
toward her, and the CLEAN of a lamp
fell full on their faces as the sound
of her own name startled her She
shrank as from a blow, and fed to her

Miss Hamilton was being lifted in a
chair to the platform of the rear car.
Stella adroitly avoided Alfred's at
tempt at private moment. There was
no rancor in her serene face. her
cheerful speech. She met his look
squarely. And he approved of the
fine dignity with which she received
Miss Hamilton's extravagant compli-
ments, the invitation to her home and
her voluble goodbye. Yet when Stella
put her hand in his in farewell, though
she smiled. and her words were all he
could expect, there seemed an ada
