A young and very pretty matron has

icism among her acquaintances be-

flirting with every good looking man

her a monopoly of masculine attention.

FACTS ABOUT wooDcHucks.
Prefer Hillside or a Knoll in Which to
DID Their Dens.

Perhaps no wild mammal is more
familiar to country people than the
woodchuck. Every hillside and mea-
dow is dotted with the small piles of
earth which mark the doorway to his
home. The woodchuck prefers a HID
side or knoll in which to- dig his
hole, for here he can easily make the
end of his den higher than the begin
ming. thus avoiding the danger OF be-
ing drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gen
eraI appearance than woodchucE and
a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
belonging to the same family of NAM
mails. The trim body, sharp claws and
agility of the squirrels make it possi-
BILE for them to lead an arhoreal life,
jumping recklessly. from branch to
branch, while the flabby form and
short legs of the woodchuck better
adapt him for digging than for running
or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay UP
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is II
of such a kind that it can be obtained

Others Gould Smoke.

A dignitary of the Scottish Episco-
pal church who enjoys his sipe had
comfortably installed himself in an
empty smoking compartment of rail
way carriage. At station near a
fishing village the door was opened
by fishwife. The clergyman, wish
ing to be alone, said to her, very
civilly: This is smoking compart-
ment," remark to which she paid no
attention. Thinking she was proba-
bly, deaf. he repeated the remark in a
louder tone. BY this time the woman
had taken the creel from her shoulder
and was pushing it into the carriage.
Still 10 notice was taken For the
third time. and in quite a stentorian
voice he shouted the same intimation.

There are many other places in Por-
tugal to which the traveller who has
sufficient time may well turn, but let
us close with handsome,& a active,
wholly Interesting city of tie present
day, hardly second to Lisbon itself in
attractiveneSS.
Oporto is a very few miles north of
a line drawn east from New York,
about as far away as London, and yet
less known to most OF our people than
Buda Pesth or Odessa. A fairly good
steamer makes the direct passage once
in six weeks, ] believe. but the Yam
kee would probably prefer the round
about road via England. France and
Gibraltar.
1t is not too much to say that no
American city of it's size has so pretty
site as Oporto, whose 100000 in
habitants are spread over dozen hills
on both sides of the gorge through
which the Douro flows to the sea-
The common people, from the west
ern point of view, are not common"
at all, but fill the streets with ka-
leidoscopic procession at which one
never tires of looking. The women
seem in all outdoor pursuits to far
outnumber the men. As they pursue
their several ways with the inevitable
burden poised on the head, the sinuous
movement of the strong body is as
rhythmic as an Arab dance With the
feet bare, the skirt held up by a loose
band around the hips, the torso and
head absolutely rigid, all the ma,te-
ment of walking takes place below the
waist.
"Queenly'' is the inaccurate and in
adequate expression that rises at once
to the lips when the poorest market
woman passes. Even the children ac-
never used to carry any article that
can be poised aloft. A girl of IL has
just filed her bucket with water at
the fountain opposite my window, and
now goes down the street with 80
pounds on her head, erect, square
shouldered, full-chesNd, a very picture
of grace.
There is solidity to the city that
impresses the beholder, massive ma
sonry, tall towers, architectural gems
everywhere. The numerous open mar
kets are filled with meats, fish. vese-
tables, fruits, flowers, the latter in
rank abundance. Except the profess
sional beggars no one seems idle, and
nearly all look strong and well.
