DARK DAYS FOR KINGS.
"l'nea*y lies the head that wears
a crown." was a true saying when
Shakespeare coined it. aud today it
fits the conditions of royalty as ac
curately as ever, lu an age which
*oes to war much less frequently thai
our great grandfathers did aud sheds
blood much leas freely, the perils aud
alarms that break the peace of lift
for kiugs are as numerous and dls
turblug as ever. Palace conspiracies
are less dreaded aud murders in th?
households of sovereigns are not si
common, but there is greater dangei
of popular revolt.

The exceptions are in countries
where the king is only a nominal rul

The German Kaiser is guarded by
manhood suffrage in the election of
the Imperial parliament, by his coun

and talents. There are a few other
monarchs. notably the Emperor of
Japan, wo are reasonably safe, but
think of what has happened lately in
Turkey. Persia and Servia and of the
conditions existing in Spain and Rus

Portugal. What kings are secure in
the enjoyment of life itself? How
many are free and happy ?

NEW YORK PAPER ADVOCATES
HOME RULE FOR ALASKA.
President Taffs decision that Al
taic* la not fit {or self-government
came simultaneously with a telegraph
ic appeal from the leading editors and
mayor* in Alaska begging him to
recommend to Congress an elective
legislature for tls distant Territory.
The President fe*ls, however, that
Alaska. because of the shifting char
acter of its population. Is not entitled
to a Legislature, but is willing to re
commend that It have a commission
form of government, similar to that la
th? Philippines. This is a singular
doctrine from an American president,
however wUe It may be. Alaska is
tired of being ruled by an indifferent
Congress thousands of miles away.
It believes Its wole development re
tarded thereby. It wants taxation
with representation, and now It hears
from Mr. Taft that what Is good
enough for the Filipino we bate and
deatplse, U good euough for Its citi
zens! This wlU hardly make Mr.
Taft any more popular in Alaska.
Those who think superficially about
the Philippines, feel that It Is all
right for them to be governed by an
upper house composed of presidential
appointees. But at least the Filipin
os have their lower house. Is Alaska
not even to have that? Mr. Hitch
cock had better look at once to the
Republican delegates from that Ter
ritory. ? New York Post.
A FEW REMARKS.
I gall)* sought the picnic ground,
where children sported in the shade;
with them I frolicked round and
rouilti, and drank with them red lem
onade; and life seemed very full and
sweet, as joyous as the ?ong of
larks, until a guy got on his feet,
and said he'd make a few remarks.
[ Journeyed to the county fair, to
'lew the products of the farm; I mar
veled at tho pumpkins there, and car
rots longer tiiui your arm; and happl
tuns was over all, there was no sign
of care that carks, until a man with
lots of gall, got up to make a few
remarks. Oh I was born for Joy and
glee, to sing as blithely as the birds!
My life, that should so sunny be Is
darkened by a cloud of words; and
when my prospects seem most fair,
and trouble for its bourne embarks,
some Windy Jim Is always there, to
rise and make a few remarks. ? Walt
Mason.
AS THE STROLLER SEES IT.
British Columbia is now in the
throes of a heated campaign and the
election of members of the provincial
house will take place on the -oth of
this mouth. Kailroail policies uro the
main features of the campaign and if
all the promises being made are ful
filled. every farm in the province
will be parallelled by a railroad and
every farmer will have u flag station
in order that he cau flag the train
and send an egg to market every
time the old dooiineck hen "comet
through." The campaign is a ract
betweeu the two parties as to whlcl
can promise the most rullroads ant
show the greatest dislike to Orient
als. In the latter measure we be
lleve they are really honest, but tht
'? railroad dope should be well shake!

CONTROL THE EMOTIONS.
On* of tha Eaaantial Conditions of
Norvoua Balanca.
Now. then, cun the nervous sufferer
help himself? To begin with, he
should ask himself: "What Is there In
my physical life which may account
for my nervous weakness? Is uiy diet
sufficient In quautlty and nutritious In
quality? Do 1 get enough sleep? Is
my work congenial ??Is my -environ
ment In any degree suited to my tastes
and aptitude?" These are simple ques
tions, and yet upon their answer often
depends the possibility of nervous
health or nervous disease. If the suf
ferer discovers that any of the phys
ical causes of a nervous breakdown
are In operation It Is obvious that It 1b
his first duty to tight against these
causes, to lessen them and If possible
to remove them altogether. In the
next place? aud this is especially to tx>
uoted by nervous women- one of the
essential conditions of nervous bal
| ance Is the control of the emotions.
The tendency on the slightest provoca
tion to give way to a paroxysm of
tears Is dangerous, because It leads to
weakness, bodily and mental. No
doubt there are moments of polgnnnt
, a gun y when tears are nature's benefi
cial provision for some relief to an
overstrnlued nervous and mental or
ganism, but these moments come at
rare Intervals In our lives, and, as a
rule, so far from weakening our men
tal or moral life, they uplift aud purify
it. What nervous people must be
warned against is the tendency to let
themselves go because of some petty
worry or some slight domestic differ
ence or through some morbid Impulse
to self pity.? Rev. S. 8. McComb in
Harper's Bazar.
