AN ODD CUSTOM.

The Tribute Levied at the Entrance OF the
River Douro in Portugal.
The coast of Portugal is defended from
Invasion by forts of castellated form set
along the shores wherever landing
might seem convenient, or where an im-
portant point had to be protected. Most
of these strong places date from before
the introduction of gunpowder, and were
afterward restored and received their
present extremely picturesque form long
before guns and gunnery practice had
attained modern perfection. One OF tho
largest and strongest is the Castle OF
| Foz, at the entrance to the river Douro.
| Itisin such an important position that at
one time it mounted at least fifty guns,
though probably little more than toys, it
we Judge by the size of the embrasures.
A curious old custom is still kept up OF
firing at vessels which try to pass the
bar without pilot, or when the red
flag is not flying at the fort Luckily,
blank cartridges are used in modern
times. The first gun is fired when the
vessel is outside the bar, and if it 81
once turns and gives up its attempt to
get in, it is fined only small sum.
However, if it continues its efforts, the
gun is loaded and fired again and agair
as quickly as possible during its passage
and for every discharge another fine il
: imposed on the ship. A skillfully
handled ship escapes without heav.
fines, but badly managed vessel has +
4 pay dearly; or in other words. tn
4 greater the danger they have risked tn
: greater the fine demanded In puniah

A VOTE RECORDER.
An Interesting Invention Devised to Save
the Time of Legislators.

An Interesting Invention Devised to Save
the Time of Legislators.
An intricate and interesting machine
which for over two years has stood in
the room of the committee on education
and labor, on the House side of the
Capitol, is at last to be removed. 1t
has an interesting history. An old
gentleman named Crosby, noticing with
some degree of annoyance the immense
amount of time lost in the House by the
calling of the yeas and the nays, under
took to invent machiAe which could
record the vote almost instantaneously
by the means of electricity. There were
to be electric buttons at each Congress-
mans desk. The pressure of one
recorded "yea," and the pressure OF
the other recorded ''nay" upon a
printed slip at the clerks desk,
while at the same time an
ingenious arrangement moved the hands
of a dial on the Speakers desk ant
showed at glance how many votes hae
been taken on each side. The inventor
after having had an expensive mode
made, was taken sick and was com
: tpelled te spend nine months in Florida
, The next session of Congress waa aver.

sick and died, and he has not been abl

: space. Mr.. Crosby wants 5000 froI

The Mystic Number Eleven.

Falstaff's ."divinity of odd numbers
received curious exemplifcation at the
late municipal elections at Trieste, when
the recurrence of the number eleven
was really remarkable. The electors Of
the fourth ward, for example, num-
bered 1911; in the third ward only eleven
Liberal candidates came forward, and in
the first like number of eleven were
in opposition. The elections began on
the eleventh day of the month, and the
result in the Third Ward was proclaimed
at eleven o'clock at night. The mayor
was elected by LII votes, and among
the new councillors are eleven advo
Gates, eleven merchants and clever
Jews Thus, at least at Trieste, the un
fortunate number eleven~disliked 81

THE VANDERBILT.
The Last of an Historical and Well-Known
Craft.

The Last of an Historical and Well-Known |
Craft.
The sale of the ship Three Brothers
closes the career of historical craft. In
1855 Commodore Vanderbilt ordered
constructed for his New York and
Havre line steamship which was de-
signed to attain remarkable speed.
When approaching completion, SO
pleased was the old Commodore with
the fineness of her lines and the promise
her model gave of quick passages that
he had her christened after himself. No
pains or expense had been spared in the
Vanderbilts construction and fittings,
and when she left the builders hands
she is said to have represented an ex-
penditure of eight hundred thousand
dollars. During the early part of the
war, when the Confederate cruiser Ala
, bama was making such inroads on the
American merchant marine and the
} Union men-of-war were unable to effect
) her capture, the idea presented itself to
7 Commodore Vanderbilt that perhaps
: his pet steamship might accomplish
what the ships of the navy had failed to
g do, and he presented her to the Govern
: ment. For this munificent act Wander
$ bilt was thanked by Congress and had 6
j gold medal struck in his honor. Ultim
ately she came to this coast conveying
n the old Monitor Monadnock around thu
e Horn, and made one trip to Honolulu
d on which occasion she was rendered il
h courtesy to carry Queen Emma down. o.
a her return she was laid up at Mar
n Island until ultimately sold for a smal
ID amount to George Howes & Co., who

LOVE OF HOME.
How 1t Haunts Men and Women Far From
Their Native Land.

How 1t Haunts Men and Women Far From
Their Native Land.
Nostalgia is disease as much as neu-
ralgia or fever are diseases; it battles the
cleyerest doctors skill, and admits OF
only one complete cure, and that is by
removing its cause. Sheer strength OF
will may keep is in allegiance, hard work
may turn aside its course for awhile;
but sometimes, at odd moments, in un-
expected places, it asserts itself with an
uncomfortable longing-a sickening
thirst for home, which will neither be re-
pressed nor appeased.
A floating scent In the air--a scent
laden with the memory OF by-gone
/ day-a sunset flush in the sky, an old
melody borne on the breeze, have
been known to bring on an access OF
this strange illness, almost unbearable
in degree. Reason has little or no ef
| feet in yubduing Its fexerish excitement
/ friendship the closest, love the terderest
can not turn aside its current; music
has no power to soothe its bitterness
nor the distractions of gayety to rouse
from its melancholy. 1t is something
outside the sufferers body, outside him
self, his feelings, his reason; it lis sick
ness of the soul, a longing to outstrl
time and space, to leave the laggar
body behind and fly to the native air, th
loved associations and early friends

THE ISLE OF JUNE.
One of the Healthiest and Most Charming

One of the HeaIthiest aud Most Charming
Spots on Earth.
stWhatis the most beautiful place that
YOU have ever visitedp" asked a lady of
an old English naval officer. New
Providence, in the Bahamas, was the
answer. To this view many travellers
would not assent, but Nassau. as the
island is popularly called from its prin-
cipal town, is one of the most beautiful
gardens of the sea. Columbus, who
visited the island during his first voyage,
called it Fernando, and Ponce de Leon
Thought that he had found here the
earthly Paradise, and tourists of recent
wears call it the Isle of June, because the
winter months are like June in the tenn
perate zones. Nassau is the capital OF
| the Bahamas. 1t is place of old sea
romances, from the dramatic pirates to
| the blockade runners. English naval
| officers. worn with service, are often
| sent here to recruit. England holds il
to be one of her most health-giving re-
treats. The island is some twenty-one
miles long and seven wide, and Is ia
NOUS for its cocoonut trees and pine
apple 1arns. Ing wii.ei :. y
Nassau is one of the most wonderful II
the world, as in it are found all tn.
products of the tropics, together witt
those of the temperate zones. Mr.. Fran
Stockton, in magazine article on tn
.Isle of june" once gave list OF tn
: fruits to be found there. an amazln
!; catalogue of familiar and unfamilia
names. 1t is also famous for green tuI
ties, and the sea is as prolific in food q
, the land in fruits. Youths Conlpanaof
