Queen Amelie, the heroine Of the occasion,
famous for her beauty. pety, charity and
intellect, quickly developed into loving
loyalty to her and her son, and the popu-
lace unequivocaly proclaimed its affec-

leaders of the people. The monstrousness
OF the assassination, a cowardly slaugh-

The beautiful Queen Amelie played a
heroic part in the crisis which followed
the assassination OF King Carlos For
months after the killing of the king and
the crown prince in the streets Of the
capital, the queen conducted a heroic
struggle for the rights OF her son
Manuel. The existing government under
King Carlos had become so unpopular to
q large element in the kingdom that even
then a revolution was brewing. Queen
Amelie foiled the plotters in many steps
they took. A few months after the as
sassination she visited England to enlist
King Edward in her plans to preserve the
Portuguese throne for her son. Then she
went to attend the wedding of her sister,
Princess Louise of France, to Prince
Charles of Bourbon. as did the king and
queen OF Spain. But in reality 1t was a
family conference to. consider the des-
perate straits in which King Manuel was
placed by the plotters in Lisbon.
Queen Amelie is considered the most
beautiful royal woman in Europe, She
has the honor of being the only queen on
whom a degree of doctor of medicine has
been conferred That the queen is cast
in heroic mold is evident from tie way in
which she arose in the royal carriage on
thu day that King Carlos was assassi-
mated, and shielded with her body Manuel
from the bullets of the assassin, she for
tunately escaping unhurt.

The house of Braganza, to which the dy-
nasty of Portugal belongs, dates from the
latter part of the fourteenth century, when
Alfonzo, an illegitimate son Of King John,
was created by King Alfonzo V. Duke Of
Braganza. The old line of Portuguese kings
Of the house of Avis became extinct in 1878
by the death of King Sebastine the De-
sired and OF Cardinal Henrique, his sue
cessor, and Philip II. Of Spain, by reason
OF his descent from a Portuguese prin-
cess, became king OF Portugal.
The Spanish dynasty lasted sixty years,
at the end Of which period the Portuguese
revolted and proclaimed Don Joan. who
was then Duke OF Braganza, as their king.
This was in 1910. and from that time until
now the house OF Braganza has held the
throne without break, seventeen rulers
wearing the crown in the go years between
the accession of John ~, "the Restorer, "
in 1910, and the reinforcement Of King

COOKING CRAN3ERRIES.

Many people eat cranberry sauces

hardly be told from candied cherries.
The cranberry is the Thanksgiving
berry par excellence. but there is all
the difference in the world in the way
it is cooked One Of the most appetiZ-
