His Fortune.

A man who was walking around
in the waiting room Of a railroad
station waiting for the opening of
the doors saw over a rather elabo-
rate weighing machine a sign which
read, 1T gives you music, tells your
fortune and prints your weight all
for 5 cents" The man stepped up
on the platform, and following the
directions contained in another sign
attached to the machine dropped a
nickel into the slot.
Instantly the band began to play,
but the man found afterward that
he could not recall the tune. In
fact, he had never known what tune
it played, he had been so interested
in his weight and his fortune. Pres
emily the music ceased, and out from
a little spout into a little receptacle
on the outside of the machine where
it could be reached popped a little
card properly dated. Upon n side
Of the card the man read, Pre-
serve for future reference; 1871
pounds" And upon the other side
he read his fortune:
Your friends are legion,
Your enemies few,
But beware Of the one
Whose acquaintance is new.

How They Dance In Hungary.

With the exception of the Span
iards there is no nation in Europe
who dance like the Hungarians.
They love it with a love that
amounts to a passion. They not on
ly go in for it heart and soul, but
they will dance on anything, in any
sort of weather-a paddock, a vii
lage street, a stable yard, the earth
en- floor of a wayside csarda-it is
all the same to them. Not the scorch-
ing sun, or the whirling dust, or the
pelting rain, or the falling snow
will deter them. They ali dance
beautifully too. 1t seems to be III
their blood, just as thieving and fid-
ding IRE in the gypsy veins.-H.
Ellen Browning in "Nanderings In
Hungary"
A Lump Of Copper Weighing $50 Tons.
The most colossal nugget Of pure
native copper ever found was a
single bowlder of that metal which
was unearthed in a Minnesota mine
In 1857. This giant nugget was 45
feet long, 20 feet broad and 8 feet
thick. It weighed a fraction over 400
tons.

p%oRTueAL,s NEWSPAPERS.
They Arc Few and Have odd 11tles and
Primitive Methods

They Arc Few and Have Odd Titles and
Primitive Methods.
There are fewer than so newspa-
pers published in the entire king
dom Of Portugal, the population Of
which Is nearly 5000, 600. or about
the same as that Of Pennsylvania,
in which the total number Of news
papers published is 1888. Journal
Ism in Portugal ls conducted on a
somewhat primitive plan, and the
newspapers Of Portugal have not
only a primitive aspect, but some
what primitive titles as well. The
weekly newspaper having the lar
gest circulation In the kingdom is
The Pontos Nos II, which means lit
orally in English, THE Dot on the
Eye" tits published in Lisbon. An
other Lisbon paper is called The Is
land, though why it has a geograph-
ical designation is not altogether
clear. The medical journal of Lisbon
Is called The Contemporary Surgeon.
The city of Oporto, better known to
many Americans than Lisbon, the
capital. has a number of daily pa
pers, the chief one Of which is Actu-
alidade, a Portuguese variation of
the sort of journalism represented
by the well known phrase, IF you
see it in The Sun, it's So" It is not
the only Oporto journal with a Pc
culiar name. There Ia another daily,
claiming a circulation of 20, 900, the
title Of which Is Des de Mario,
which is Portuguese for the 10th of
March. Still another daily paper Of
Oporto Is called The Primerro de
J%aneriro, otherwise the LIST Of Janu-
airy. The humorous paper Of Oporto
is O sorvete (The Sherbet), and
three other daily papers of the same
city are known as A Lucia, A Pala-
vara and A Justica, otherwise The
Light, The World and Justice. There
is one daily paper published at Va
lencia, in Portugal, called The Coun-
try, and one In Lisbon called The
Atlantic. In Coimbra, one of the old
est of Portuguese cities and long
known as the seat of a university
founded in 1903, there is one daily
paper, called The News.
The theory upon which Portu-
guese papers T conducted appears
to be that they should be, above all
things else, vivacious, and it is for
this reason perhaps that weekly
papers are at discount in Portugal,
the favorite plan being to divide
what would be in the United States
the contents of a weekly paper into
seventies and publishing it on the
installment plan, sc to speak, every
day, and excluding from its COL
umns, so far as possible, anything
30 sensational as what is called 1.-The
uncorroborated news" A fair and
proper substitute for news is found
In jocose and harmless illusions to
the appearance of individuals, such
as are contained, for instance, in
The Voz do Povo (The Voice of the
People,. In Lisbon there Is publish
ed a journal called The Public Inter-
est, which makes a feature of book
reviews. The Lisbon Circle is a po-
litical organ Of the more radical op-
ponents of the local government.
Another daily paper in Lisbon is
called o Seculo. New York Sun.

Consolation for Cuba.

Men OF America how did YOU your freedom get
FROM 70 to 's3, a century. or more l guess:
DID you fight your fights. alone
Or did you get some help,
From some sympathetic nation
Which decided the bitter contest?
How did the friendly nations
Observe our daring struggle then7
Did they enforce neutrality laws
And hum and ha and hem?
Or did they say that their subjects
Might go to some land of freedom here,
And help us win our Independence,
For our cause was just and dear.
Did they say that if we wanted freedom
mat Washington he could fight.
And with several thousand others
Could bring US out all right
UT did there come a La Fayette,
"A kosciusko and Dekalb
With several Thousand others,
10 tight the tyrant English mobf
No; n thousand times
In the cause we were not alone,
We were helped by the great French nation
AZ And perhaps bar by several pore;
A century since that day;
A union of different nations,
Drove tyranny home to stay
They know we had a Washington
And many another great man,
But they realized that tyranny held
A"death, grip" on our land.
And that she would not released it
Nor loosen up one bit,
OnIll every Ittle EngllShman
Was willing to say quit
And SO we won our freedom
In the way above described.
BY the aid of other nations
That rushed to our rescue and our side.
But It seems that some are forgetting,
And do not observe the golden rule;
When watching the Cuban struggle
And yet a keepin' cool.
If it was right for France,
To help America in the race;
It's equally right for Uncle Sam
To help the Cubans build up a state;
And when tyranny and greed and ~averice,
Brake down the bars of right;
Humanity should at once demand
A"free for all fight
And now that Isle of Cuba
Contains a noble race
1t is noble by tradition,
Though humble be it's state;
And tyranny stole across the water,
In smiles and complete Disguise
And fastened it shackles on them
Asst did on our boosted pride.
And now you noble Islanders
We believe you are in the right,
But you must fight the fight of patriots
Till we see it in that light;
Then the people will upbraid Spain
And give her, her just dues,
by granting you your independence
And men to fight with too.
And we are drilling company after company,
Out in the open West;
And we will get them to you
Through snow or sleet or wet.
Our Uncle Sam is blythe and gay
And sometimes he is rough
For he'll assert that neutrality
Has lasted long enough.
And then you'll get some generals
Like them that came to us,
Together we will give the rascals
Some mighty bitter stuff;
And Spain like ancient England
Will soon release her grip,
And end the war by sayin'
/ am ready to play quits.
And then the little country
will look around a bit,
Shell soon take on a government
That's likened unto this;
And the nations of Old Europe
Will be fairly taken down,
At the thought of empires dying
And crumbling to the ground.

Kimballton.
