What do you think Of the fishery treaty?D
] asked Col. J. W. Foster, who has hsd more
diplomatic experience than almost any other
American now living. and who is regarded az
the foremost authority on such subjects.
Oh, that is dead" he answered promptly
There IS nothing more to it. The Senate VIII
never confirm It."
''Why2" I asked.
Because" he replied. "in the first place il
ought not to ratify it. II gives away our case,
and is contrary to the policy the Senate mas
adopted. Our case has been admirably stated
by former Secretaries Of State, and our rights
outlined. This met the acceptance Of Congress,
which. in effect authorizes the President 70
make demand in accordance with that stata-
ment and in the event that he failed to secure
what was due US to resort to retaliation. The
President has not done this Instead he has
appointed a Commission to aTbitrate. and in
that arbitration We have got much the worst Of
it. We have conceded away that which we have
already long claimed as our rights. The Sen
ate viii take this view, refuse to confirm the
treaty, and hold that the President ought TO
carry out the policy agreed UPON"

LIFE IN PORTUGAL.
4 Country Where Modern Ways Have Not
Yet become Popular.

1tl opuiaF'
In Portugal a man may look about him
and almost forget how the world has
grown older and sadder. Here he will see
the plowman and the carter guiding oxen
in size and shape such as the ancient
Romans bred, yoked to such primitive
plows or carts as we still can see on Greek
and Roman coins. Their rules and
methods of tillage are the same simple and
often foolish ones as the anc.ents followed;
the old heather supersttions still mingie
with the new religion; the peoples Ian
guage is liker 10 the old one that came
from Rome than any still extant, the plow-
man and WAGNER and reaper, the shep-
herd in his goats skin coat, and the
ruiden, with her distaff, might all take
their places in some such rural procession
as we see sCulptured on Roman bc5-
relief of the Augustan age. The very
aspects of nature, the genial air, the vines
and olive trees, the rocks, valleys, run
ming streams, the songs Of birds and muir
muring of bees on thymy hills, are all
such as the sweetest of all pastoral poets
used as accompanimeuts 10 his idyllic song
of q happy rural life. From just such
craggy mountain sides overlooking the
sea, as Theocritus sang of, and beneath
Just such tall stone pine as he describes,
does the Portuguese shepherd lad OF
to-day rest TO take his midday meal OF
bread and olives, and look down upon the
creeping waves of the blue ocean far be-
meath his feet just as in those ancient day
does he bare his sunburnt breast to the cool
sea breeze and hears it in the branches
overhead, the very sweet whispering pine
music, that the poet heard i'll Sicily twenty
centuries ago.-EltsyiJr.

PROF. POWELL, of the Geological
Survey, recently made an argument,
two hours in length, before the Senate
Committee on Appropriations in the
matter of the proposition to develop
the arid land regions. Prof. Powell is
very enthusiastic in the belief that his
views as to the irrigation Of this vase
region, by establishing reservoirs in
the Rocky mountains for the supply of
water, is entirely practicable. The
committee was very much interested
in the subject, and it is possible that a
considerable appropriation will be
made to enable test to be made of the
practieability OF the undertaking.
