Portugal has followed the lead of oth- CT European countries in adopting the principle of compulsory military ser vice. The period of service is to be fif- teen years, five in the first reserve, subject to a months training annually, and seven in the second reserve. This will furnish total of twenty-seven &C., tive and twenty-seven reserve regi- ments, twelve battalions of rifles, four regiments of field artillery, two batter ies of horse artillery, two regiments of fortress artillery and fifteen companies of engineers. In spite of optimistic prophecies, the tendency of modern times is toward an increase in military establishments and the extension of compulsory service.

Pittsburg is taking just pride in the extent of its building operations. Ac- cording to local authority the statis- tics for May show permits issued for buildings to cost more than $4,500,000, and this comes after several months of unusually heavy operations in the same direction. The record of May of last year Is left far behind. The total rep- resents 209 more permits and an ex- penditure of over $3,600,00O more money than that of year ago. It is nearly three times the total for April of this year, and it is considerably more than the value of the new construction in Philadelphia or Chicago for the month of April.

---------- --------------- The Preacher Who Caught On.

He preached about the pleasure
 That there is in doing good; He held the Scriptures sacred.
 And he did the best he could; He consoled the weeping widow
 And he dried the orphans tear, He made his sermons scholarly,
 But few turned out to hear. He preached about the danger
 That there Is in doing wrong, He held that being righteous
 Goes for more than being strong; He preached that men should follow The Lords teachings day by day, And presently he noticed
 That the people stayed away.
