Thrifty Portuguese Warmers.


Saviors of Portugal are Portugals
new farmers. In the south Of the lit
tie kingdom serious attempt is be-
ing made to reclaim about 10, 000,-
900 acres, or forty-four per cent. of
the total area of Portugal.
Some energetic people, in combi-
nation with the municipal authors
ties, have set to work in the district
Of Serpa upon 100000 acres, divid-
ing it into allotments of fifteen acres
each, and letting it at nominal rent,
calculated according to the estimated
value of the land. The highest quit
rent is $500 and the lowest forty
cents per allotment, free of local
taxes and rates for ten years. A het-
erogeneous mixture Of settlers al
ready has taken possession of their
'tenements. Carpenters, masons, doc
tors, chemists, BARRIERS, seamstresses,
tailors and beggars figure in the mot
ley crowd. The success of the scheme,
as far as it has gone, has stirred the
ambition Of the residents in large
part of the north of Portugal, where
project on similar lines is being set
OF foot to bring back into cultivation
something like half million acres,

When physician tells woman, SUI
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary 1t, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full Of women
who are there for just such operations
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia y. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

DARING RESCUE OF sEANEN
Sixteen Men Hauled Through Surf
at Cape Henry.
Vessel Barely Saved From Drifting
on Treacherous Diamond Shcal.
Only to BE Wrecked.

Norfolk, Va.--Sixteen men were
rescued from the steamer George
Farwell, which went ashore one-haif
mile south Of Cape Henry weather
station in fierce northeast storm.
The rescue OF the men was particu-
larry daring. twelve Of the imperiled
mariners beiSg hauled through the
high waves at night.
There was gale blowing at the
time, and the sea was running high,
yet in the dark the breeches buoy
was successfully operated, and every
man was safely hauled through the
surf One was a passenger. FREEZER

street, New Haven. Conn. He had
been aboard for his health, and re-
marked after being landed that he
was thoroughly cured Of the sea, at
least.
The crew was taken care OF at the
Cape Henry Life-Saving Station. and
aft inward sent to the City Mission
Captain Chisholm, Of the Farwell,
and the chief engineer remained at
the wreck.
Parts of the steamer soon began
coming ashore, and it is believed that
she and the cargo in her will prove a
total loss. The Farwell was bound
from Jacksonville, Fla. for New Ha-
ven, Conn. with 575, 900 feet of cy-
press lumber. The lumber and the
vessel are worth about $125, goo. The
steamer was owned by the J. G. Tur-
ner Company, of New York, and this
was their only vessel.
The Farwell was well-known
coaster, and had long been engaged
in the lumber trade.
1t was, perhaps, we'll for the men
aboard the steamer that she went
ashore For ten days she had been
battling with northeast storms, and
when Cape Henry light was sighted
there was not a pound of coal in her
bunkers. Captain Chisholm said
hat he was just considering the
burning Of the cargo for fuel when
he ship struck on the shoals, and
The was helpless. He was making for
Hampton Roads, where he expected
10 replenish his coal supply, and had
made out Cape Henry light. The
log then hung low, but when the
steamer headed for the light the mist
rose. obscured the light and the
steamer. stranded A patrol from the
Cape Henry Station saw through the
mist the red costen signals of the
steamer and answered from the
shore. Then the fog shut out every
thing, and it was thought that there
would be no attempt to rescue.

kindness for children. He collected
indefatigably the quaint sayings Of
children, and one of the treasures Of
his library was small manuscript

children had composed. This vol
ume was called "a Child's Diction-

nitions that MI Ooudert would read
from the book:

I seem to trace a faint clue to the
connection between the protective
eoloring and the mind in the intense
desire of the fox to remain concealed
and unseen. That this is a possible
theory we infer from the fact that a
blind animal does not change color.
Put a dozen minnows into an or
binary white washhand basin and
they will in a very short time be OF
pale color. If over one no change
passes we may be tolerably certain
that it is blind. From Dale's The

Food and nests u The Guns.

Although termed common
gull, this species is not more common
than the herring and blackheaded
gulls, and may have been by many
associated with those birds in the
common appellation gull
Their flight is heavy, yet capable
of very considerable extension, as
these birds fly many miles in pursuit
of their food This they take in an
ingenious manner, almost settling
upon the water in order to secure it.
When resting after long fight, or
under any other circumstances, they
Will sleep upon the water.
The nest is built chiefly of sticks,
seaweed and grass, and is a some
what large one in comparison with
the size of the bird The eggs are
but two or three in number, and of a
dark olive brown, blotched and spot
ted with black and darker brown.
The young differ materially from the
aged birds, the plumage altering with
age. They generally feed together,
their call note (Which sounds like
'squeeP') being the slgnal for them
to gather, and generally to fight over
the possession of any food that at
tracts them
@7heir food is principally fish and
offal, or any garbage that may be
found floating upon the sea. When
they fly inland their food is gener-
ally worms, grubs and slugs, and
they will even feed upon grain, some
that were kept with clipped wings
having been induced to feed mainly
on it. When upon the marshy in
land districts, however, worms and
slugs are their most general food
