The Standards Lisbon correspondent
says that as Portugal has failed to obtain
sympathy and support from any govern
ment in Europe, it is proposed to sound
the United States as to the formation of
an alliance having for its equivalent spec
ial commercial facilities in Portuguese
ports and in Africa. The tone of Mr..
Blaine's recent dispatches, says the cor
respondent, to the Lisbon cabinet should
be proof that the United States will not
accede to such a proposition.

The Charm OF Femininity.

This increasing Discrimination of our de-

extra VACANT costly uxures, in which
the average man hesItates 70 indulge In
some cases this may bt true, but generally
speaking this Is rank nonsense. The men
OF the period may think the 'horsey"
girl Jolly fun out they do not want To
marry her Men OF brains like a set to

not want that blll OF fare foI breakfast
