Romance of Old PORTUGAL

The recent deposition of King Manuel OF
Portugal and the events in the young kings
life that led up to it will no doubt bring back
to the minds of some of the older residents
of the city the story of Elise Henser, the
Springfield girl who married a king and be-
came the Countess Edla.
The king she married was Don Ferdinand
II. Of Portugal great grandfather of King
Manuel. Elise lived in Springfield about so
years ago, probably for about four years.
The Henslers were humble people and
lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise
were well received here and were given a
good musical education, especially Elise, who
had quite remarkable voice. Signor Guidi
an Italian, at the time we'll known teacher
of the voice, took an interest in Elise and il
was when Signor Guidi went to Boston thai
the Hensiers went there, largely through hii
influence. He believed that Elise had fur
ture as a singer and wished her to be where
he could continue teaching her.
Elise Hensler after her removal with hei
family to Boston continued her studies. Sha
was perseverant in her work and progressed sd
well that she not only appeared in concerts in
the large cities in this country but also in Eu
rope, where she sang before royalty. 1t was
while singing in Lisbon several years after the
death of Queen Maria that King Ferdinand
heard her voice and felt the attraction that
led him to marry her.
Ferdinand was the titular king of Portugal
having been the second husband of Queen
Maria II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married
Maria in 1886, when he was 20. The queen
died in 1853, and he regent during the mi.
nority of his son, Pedro ", who the fa

grandfather of the deposed King Manuel. The
regency ended in 1855, and on June 10, 1869.
he married Miss Hensler.
When the European powers decided the
time had come to restore Spain to monarchy,
following the overthrow of the shcrt republic,
pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand
to induce him to accept the vacant throne.
But his wife could never be queen of Spain.
and it is possible that this fact alone induced
him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to accept
the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and
splendor of royalty in exchange for the roman
tic life that he was living with his morganatio
wife, had far-reaching consequences. The COM
plications and jeaousies resultant the at

ers helped to bring on the Franco-Prussian
war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to
Germany, whence they had been wrested by
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In consequence of these peculiar historical
facts which geographically practically changed
all western Europe, Elise Hensler, Countess
Edla, became famous throughout the world al
''the woman who changed the map of Europe"
During the life of the king they lived in the
beautiful castle of Cintra. 1t is certain that
their life was above reproach. In 1885 the
king died, and after that the countess lived in
retirement in a cottage near the castle.

Schurz Was Sure of Him

Carl Schurz was dining one night
with a man who had written book
of poems, so called, and who was
pleased with himself
The poet was discoursing on the
time-worn topic of politics of the men
who take office.

beneath my notice." he said. Il do
not care for office. Wouldn't be a
senator or cabinet officer, and 1 doubt
if l could be tempted by the offer of

that, l would rather be known as a
third-rate poet than a first-rate states
man."

Masterpiece of Glass Work

In the British museum, in London, on exhi-
bition, is the Portland vase, the masterpiece
of ancient glasswork A chance discovery led
to the rescue of this magnificent urn from the
grave, where 1t had lain for hundreds of years,
hidden and unknown. The vase was found
early in the seventeenth century by some Ia
borers, who, digging on hillock in the neigh
borhood of Rome, broke into small vault.
On further examination it revealed suite
of three sepulchral chambers In the largest
room they found finely sculptured sarcopha-
gus, which contained the beautiful vase 1t
was full of ashes, but it bore no inscription as
to the remains it held nor has the mystery
ever been solved which shrouds it's origin.
The vase was deposited in the Barberini pal
ace, where it remained until ITO, when the rep
resentative of the Barberini family Roman
princess, was forced to part with it to pay her
gambling debts. The vase changed hands
twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess of
Portland, but with such secrecy that her own
family was not aware of the transaction until
after her death.
AT the sale of the duchess of Portland's COL
lection it was purchased by her son, the third
duke of Portland, for the sum of SIS, Jas, and 1t
was deposited in the museum by his successor.
The vase wantonly smashed in pieces by
drunken visitor, but the fragments were,
however, joined together, but the bottom, with
its mysterious figure in Phrygian cap, was not
replaced

Mixing His Dates.

There is story of a man who was
so transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoners
bar in a court of justice to plead
guilty" or mot guilty to criminal
charge. So powerfully did that, the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, wilt
thou have this woman to be thy
welded wife?' and so on, the poor
distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, mot guilty, so
help me God!"-From Tuckerman's
personal Recollections."

were in somewhat of hurry and tried
to get the mules out Of the water with

fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
a hammer. Somebody took the ham

Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea-

The comparative cneapness with which
the thirteenth census has been taken was
largely due to Director E. Dana Durand's eco
nomical methods, to the introduction of semi-au-
tomato electrical card-punching, tabuating
and sorting machines, and to the inheritance
of wisdom from the experience gained by the
permanent census bureau. During the term Of
the latter the methods of inquiry, tabulation and
compilation have been greatly improved, both
In accuracy and in economy. Millions will be
saved.
Mr.. Durand Is responsible for many of the
new methods to increase statistical accuracy
at every step of the census taking and to de-
crease the per capita cost of the enumeration.
The card-punching, tabulating, and sorting ma
chinery is the invention of census mechani-
cal expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle
Sam. The machines are novel in plan and de-
sign, are of greater speed and efficiency than
those they superseded, and can be built and
operated at large saving of money as COM
pared with previous expenditures for this pur-
pose.
Other money-saying features the elimi-
nation of the vitalstatistics inquiry from the
work of the decennial census, as it belongs to
the permanent branch of the United States
census; the reduction in the number of SEIZED
ules, the peceprice method of paying for ma
chine work. the omission of the hand house
hold and neighborhood industries from the
manufactures branch of the census, and the
reduction of the size and number of copies of
the final report.
Congress limited the thirteenth census. to
four general subjects population, agriculture,
manufactures and mines and quarries The d.
rector is authorized to determine the form and
subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry as to
population relates to the date April Is, 1910;
that as to agriculture concerns the farm opera
tons during 1909 and calls for an inventory of
farm equipment April Is, 1910; that relative to
manufactures and quarries is for 1909
The enumeration carried only the popula-
ton and agriculture schedules April Is, 1910.
Special agents were sent out with the sched-
ules for the manufactures, mines and quarries
data. There were fully $4,000 enumerators, of
whom about $4,000 carried both the population
and agriculture schedules, as it is estimated
that there are now fully 100000 separate
farms in America with farmers numbering
we'll up into score of millions. In 1910 there
were many more billions of dollars of fixed
capital invested in agriculture than there were
in manufactures, strange as it may seem. And
