even more, seems to come amiss to them.

CoUNTRYs TRUE STATE.
1t is the fate of a sun-bathed land TO
look as though its life were a continu-
Gus dream, as though no cloud OF national
care ever interrupted the placid tenor of
its story. But the soft lines of the Portu-
guese landscape belle not a little the true
state Of the country. You pass along the

magnolia trees at the gateway. into it's

Portugal in all parts being extremely
htlly, you have as a rule only to go few
yards up the road to get a magnificent
view, wherever you may be. More often
you get many hills and pines, with winding
white roads and patches of white houses
as far as you can see. The hills are great
nils, snow clad for months of the year,
and an incredible purple for the rest. The
maize fields supply the bright green that

At present you are confronted by posi-

in fact, il is speedily borne in on you that
the only industry that is run properly Is
the cultivation of the grape and the manu-

doubt that. Everywhere are trellises or
grape-laden vines, not merely on the river
banks, but along the paths OF your garden,
over the roofs of the barns and byres,
everywhere, in fact, where the vine will

@INFLUENCE OF THE PLANETs.v
Natives of the Sign Of Taurus Cannot
Take a Cold Bath.
London Truth.


While glancing at the Horoscope. a new
astrological quarterly which made its ap-
pearance this month, i trust with due re-
gard TO the position of the planets which
exert favorable influence upon journalistic
enterprises. i came across one passage at
least which considerably impressed me. IL
has been left for the editor TO discover
the inability OF the natives OF the sign OF
Taurus TO take a cold bath In the morn
ing. He has never yet met with any
one born under this sign who can take his
tub with impunity. and he appeals TO his
readers TO send him lists or the natives OF
Taurus who. through the maIeficent ef-
feet Of the time OF their birth. are COM
PEELED TO number themselves among the
great unwashed.
The editor OF the Horoscope. with becom-
ing modesty, makes little OF his discovery.
But imagine what the result viii be IL his
anticipations are verified. 1t will be neces-
sary to revise the law. Who will dare pun
ish the verminous person when IL is clear
that his condition is merely due 10 tho
fact that he was born under Taurus instead
OF Pisces or Aquarius? ! would recon-
mend the editor OF the Horoscope TO guard
his list carefully when he has obtained IL.
Ii might fall into the hands OF some en-
terprising soap proprietor who might tempt
the native TO indulge In the luxury OF .
bath with fatal results.
