Morbid Customs in Portugal.

There seems to be certain NOR

They seem to take peculiar delight
in dressing up their dead and expos

to be present at the solemn requiem
of Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon,
when the corpse, dressed in full can
onicals, was placed in a half-sitting
posture to face the crowd in the nave
of the Cathedral, and thought at the
time that the interment ought to have
taken place sooner.
One fine Sunday afternoon in spring
] was strolling along one of the main
thoroughfares of Lisbon when the
shouts and merry chatter of lot of
little boys and girls attracted my at
tention to a side street. The children,
all nicely dressed, were coming down
the side street at brisk walk, evil

coffin. The lid was open and l could
see the little fower-decked and bediz-
ened corpse inside of it.
Another time | mistook the corpse
of a child on its way to the grave for
a waxen image of the Madonna being
carried in procession. 1t was little
dead girl, beautifully dressed in white
satin and wearing white veil and
white flowers. The little body had
been made to sit up in chair which
four boys were carrying on their

Last September DR.. Ferrand read
to the French academy paper on
music. He showed its effect on the
body and mind of a patient by practi-
cal demonstrations. DR.. Betzchinsky,
the famous Russian sayant, told of
the therapeutic worth of music. He
pointed out the fact that musical COM
posers usually have very heavy heads
of hair, and proposed to prove that
music is directly responsible for it.
Piano players always have tremen-
dous quantities OF hair, Paderewski
being one of the many cited to prove
the theory. Harpists, violinists and
'celists, too, usually have fair amount
of hair, as the long-locked M. Ysaye
witnesses.
If a little experiment proves the
doctors theory correct a well-equipped
orchestra may become part of every
properly conducted hairdressing es-
tablishment, and foods of melody from
big cornet may pour upon the GUS
TONER'S head after the electric fan has
done its duty in drying the hair. -

The only significance in the small
increase iu railway mileage in the
United States last year is that pretty
nearly every available section of the
country is now fully accessible by
railroad. The railway mileage will of
course continue to increase in the fu-
ture, but not at such a rate as in the
past. With improvements that have
been made in engine power and car
rying capacity of cars, moreover, the
present lines are able to accommo-
date more traffic. This means that
fewer railroad lines are likely to go
into the hands of receivers hereafter
aud at the same time that demands of
traffic will be met.

In view of the probability that Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock will be
the next yacht to sail for the Americas
cup, it is expedient that we make Sir
Thomas's acquaintance and try to dis
Germ what manner of man he is. The
announcement came by cable, almost
simultaneously with the news of the
prospect of challenge, that he had
given hundred thousand pounds to
a PriEcess-of-Wales fund to provide
cheap meals for London workingmen.
money to spare and is not adverse to
spending it, provided the occasion ap-
peals to him.
He is an Irishman by derivation,
though born in Glasgow, Scotland.
He laid the foundation of his fortune
by selling Irish bacon to the Scotch.
When Irish bacon ceased to be pro-
durable in quantities big enough to
supply the markets ne found for it,
he fell back on Chicago, where he has
long had large interests in the pork
packing industry. His fortune is said
10 have been very greatly swelled by
investments in Ceylon, where, after
the coffee-bug had destroyed the coffee
plantations, he bought number of
estates that came into the market and
planted them with tea. 1t was an ex-
pertinent, and turned out to be sue
cessful and very profitable.
Besides being rich, shrewd and
benevolent, Sir Thomas is credited
with being very lively sportsman,
who will make the best race that
British wits and British money can
provide for, and will prove in all re-
spects good and reasonable man to
sail against. Harper Weekly.

Lieutenant Hams, commanding an
artillery platoon cnder Captain Potts
IN Porto Rico, was wounded on Aug
ust II, the day the war ended. He
is now at St. Luke's hospital in New
York city. Talking with his brother,
Captain L. Rankins Hams, who was at
his bedside, he said
'On the morning of the 10Th Cap
tain Potts was ordered to proceed up
the San Juan road with five guns for
the purpose of shelling the Spanish
trenches at Asomanta. Four guns.
which included my platoon, were
moved into position in field near the
San Juan road at range of 2OOO
yards, the fifth gun being sent ahead
100 yards to our right on the road.
"Just before we came into action
the enemy opened on us with infantry
volleys and two 3-inch howitzers. This
FASTENED us into action. We picked
UP the range Immediately and did
splendid work. The two howitzers
were soon silenced and the Spaniards
were seen running from their intrench-
ments. Then we slackened our fire.
"Soon after we did so the enemy
took heart and began to return. Gen
eral James HI. Wilson sent me with a
gun up the road in advance of the
rest to try and enflade the enemy. I
went up the road on horseback about
zoo yards and found a company of
Wisconsin infantry on bend of the
r0nI hIph form, a1
Spanish fire. l passed beyond them,
and the gun was unlimbered in the
next turn of the road in a somewhat
sheltered position. Ny men lay down
by the roadside to escare the Spanish
volleys, the mausers coming in a astorm
with each volley.
81 told the sergeants we would have
try at them for luck, anyhow. As L
could see no Spaniards nearer than
300 or GOO yards, had him run the
gun out On the road little. We had
no sooner done this than the fire sud
denly increased fercely, so the gun
could not be served. We hauled the
gun back to the next turn in the road,
where we were joined by the second
gun, still unable to do any great exc
cution owing to the sheltered position
of the enemy The fire continued
with tierceness, but from our new po-
sition we brought house into view.
] had the gun instantly trained upon
it, as ] saw sever al Spaniards outside
of it, and felt certain it was not empty.
The very first shot landed fairly upon
the side of the house and, penetrating,
burst inside, sending things flying.
The enemy broke cover and I turned
to the sergeant saying: That was a
good one now give them
"As L tnrned something struck me
through the body. knew was badly
hit, but felt no rain after the first
shock. 1t was like being struck over
the shoulders with club. l passed
my hand to my side and brought it
away full of blood.

my side. They've g~t me this time,'
l said. He put his arm around me
and led me away and let me lie down"
