head, is negotiating with the Portu-
guese government for a concession at
Madeira. If this syndicate secures
what it wants it will be enabled to

The island of Madeira. the chief Of
the Madeira Islands, is situated in the
Atlantic ocean off the west coast of
Africa and belongs to Portugal The
Island is magnificent health resort,
abounding in mountainous spots of
great beauty and produces fine wines.
You can almost choose your climate
to suit yourself, for the higher you
climb the main mountain the cooler it
becomes, until you reach the cloud
line or cloud bank usually overhang-
ing the mountain.
The roads are very bad, paved with
rough cobblestones, and the vehicles
mainly are bullock carriages, slow but
sure, and as nobody in Madeira ever
is in a hurry, the slowness of the
bullocks is most enjoyable and rest
ful in the extreme
The capital of the island of Madeira
is Funchal, town of some $4,000 in
habitants, situated at the foot of the
great mountain, mere than 5000 feet
high, on gentle slope facing the bay,
or anchorage, where nearly all the
steamers and other craft anchor. Fun
chal forms sort of amphitheater
around the clear, blue waters of the
bay, and from it runs funicular rail-
road up the mountain to an old con-
vent or church, where, when clouds
are not in the way, grand view is
obtained.

WANTS AN OPENING.

An eastern reader Of these notes, a
young man of twenty-five years living
in the city of New York, writes inquir-
ing what the chances are farther west
for young man who Is well and
strong and willing to work, but yet
who wants to get into some kind OF
business for himself, preferably an
outdoor occupation, like farming. 1t Is
a very natural thought on the part of
New Englanders that there are better
opportunities for getting ahead in the
Mississippi valley states and with the
resident Of the central states that bet
ter opportunities are to be found on
the Pacific slope. There is doubtless
truth in the contention Of those in both
sections referred to-. Yet before go
ing west we should advise our young
Many western agricultural papers have
been publishing articles of late relative
to opportunities in New England, espe-
cially along the line of taking hold of
some Of the so called abandoned or
unproductive farms. Not long since
there was cited in these notes the case
of a young man who had Travelled the
country over and who had equipped
himself for an agricultural professor
ship or a responsible position in the
government service and yet who after
taking everything into account had de.
cided to go back to the old home farm
in York state and put out more or
chards and otherwise develop intelli-
gently the possibilities Of an eastern
farm There is little question that
there is more doing in a general way
in the. central western than in the New
England states and more In the west
ern group than In the central, but in
both sections considerable ready mon
ey is needed for one to buy farm OF
ranch, unless it be a small one, or to
embark in paying business enter
prise. Our friend does not advise us
of his tastes. so that we hardly feel
qualified to give him specific informa-
ton as to the pursuit which he should
follow. But whatever these may be, 1T
is a pretty good idea for one who con.
templates locating in a new or distant
section Of the country to visit such a
place before acquiring any property
interest with a view to ascertaining
what the prospects or possibilities of
the section may be. This may mean
the paying out Of considerable sum
for car fare and hotel bills, but in the
end it is often the cheapest way to do.
