Years ago North, who is a clever Irish
man, worked in Bradford mill He
lived with some OF his companions, and
was very niggardly about his expendi-
lures. At the end OF the month he re-
fused to pay his share for the butter they
put on their cakes. because he said he
never used it.
His employer bad occasion TO ship some
boilers TO Peru, and North was sent over
to put them In position. While in the
country, he accidentally ran across the
rich guano and nitrate beds, and at once
realized their commercial value. He Sc
cured concession to work them from
Peru. and then returned to England and
offered his employer big interest In the
beds IL he would advance the capital to
work them. It didn't take long to con-
vince the capt.ist that they had good
thing, and he put up tho cash. North's
first swag out OF the deal was El 200, 600.

In Strange Lands,
ABOUT CEYLON AND BORNEO

ABOUT CEYLON AND BORNEO. By
WALTER j CLUTTERBUCK, L. II. G.. $
London and New York Longmans.
Green * Co
Mr. Clutterbuck's book was to the
News a good deal of disappointment.
Perhaps we ought 10 have been suffici-
emily familiar with Mr.. Clutterbuck's
former work to know what TO expect,
but were not. From the nature of the
subject and the imposing quartet of let
ters after the writer's name one would
expect something learned and dignified.
Instead the book is written from title to
finish in the humorous style-anh British
humor at that. We may even quote a
sample:
But have frivoled away long enough
In Ceylon; let Us go on toward Borneo.
whittier / was bound, and where | was led
TO expect much. A gentleman who had
been out there told me before leaving Cey-
lon that Borneo was half crown sort
of place" which in fact proved to be
true, as it does only half belong to the
British Crown.
Discouraging, is it not? Yet the reader
who really wants to find out something
about the two strange islands will do
well to persevere, for the writer does
contrive to stow considerable informa-
lion between the chinks of his fun.

A gifted soul has sung these little

crisp and delicate, the meaning plainly

This is real lyric verse, fit for an age
which has time neither to read nor TO

q. Is. Loring, late L. $. Minister to
Lisbon. $3.50. q. Il. Putnam's Sons.
Minister Loring is fortunate in his
subject, for the little kingdom of Por-
tugal is one of the few spots in Europe
that are not familiar stamping ground
for Americans. Yet, charming in its
scenery, delightful in its climate, full of
romantic traditions and the theatre of
some of the most remarkable events In
history, il is strange that it has escaped
the ravages Of tourist hordes SO effect
ually. The land Of Camoens and Da
CANA, of Inez de Castro and the Sailor
Kings is not a mere appendix TO Spain,
a hanger-on of the Peninsula, but, rs
Minister Loring truly remarks, Portugal
was hardly less responsible for the lover
throw of Napoleon-to instance only
one event from her history-than Rus
sia herself for it was between these
two millstones-one small and hard as "a
diamond, the other huge and glowing as
"A planet-that Bonaparte was ground to

To this pugnacious little kingdom,
which is SO fond Of fighting that it in

fifteen years preceding 1851, President
Harrison sent DIR. George Loring, re-
Gently commissioner of agriculture, in
the summer of 1889. DR.. Loring was
agreeably received at court. and chats
entertainingly of the high-born danes
and cavaliers of the royal circle. He
summered at Cintra, that earthly para
disc fit for the pilgrims of William Nor
ris, which is second in beauty and rich
ness and arabesque memory only to the
much-arabesqued Alhambra. He saw
the funeral of Dom Louis l., the Shake
speare-loving king, whose stepmother,
by morganatic marriage, was the Boston
contralto. Miss Hennsler. He looked
into the industrial and agricultural con
dition of the country and admired the
sturdy breeds of native horses and of
men.
His narrative is simple, authentic,
usually vivacious and graphic, and for
the most interesting, though often care
lessly phrased, as when the author, not
wholly divorced from the simplicity of
puritan Massachusetts,, struggles with
the menu of a court dinner, and tells us
he partook of ''roast beef roti;" evident
ly the meat was well done.
The chapters which relate to Dom
Pedro and Brazil will attract. i'm the
present disordered state of the Southern
republic, especial attention.

racy of the Geographic report that the
Federal supreme court has decided that
Boyd is entitled to the governorship.

old headquarters at leading hotel are
being prepared for him, and the Samoset

Governor Boyd, when interviewed to-
day on the subject of the Boyd-Thayer
decision, said that he had received tel
egram at 3 o'clock last night saying what
the decision would be in his favor. When
asked how it got out, he said: 1T seems
that stenographer in some way con
nected with the supreme court became
possessed of the intent Of the decision.
This information he sold TO limited
number of number of newspapers under
promise that his identity should not be
disclosed and that the news should not
be published until he gave the word He
released the matter at II o'clock last
night, but told my Washington attor
