Into Very Small Portions.

Those In Portugal Have Been Cut Up
Into Very Small Portions.
The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every one fol
lows rigidly the methods employed by
his father and forefathers. In very
many parts of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When a man dies, instead Of one Of
the heirs taking the whole property
and paying the remaining heirs for
their parts, the whole property Is di-
vided into as many parts as there arc
heirs. More than this, each separate
part of the property is thus divided.
Thus, II a property consisted of ten
acres Of pacture land, eighty of vine
yard and ten of grain land and there
were ten heirs, each heir would receive
one acre each of grain and pasture
land and eight acres of vineyard. This
process has been going on for a very
long time, so that now In the most fer
tile part of Portugal the land is d.
vided into incredibly small portions.
The immc Nate result of this, accord
ing to the United States consular re-
ports is that the product Of the land
is barely sufficient Mt best to sustain
its owners. South of the river Tagus,
on the other hand, there are enormous
tracts of excellent land lying unused
but II has been found impossible to In
duce the farmers of the north to move
Into this region and take up large
holdings

Humboldt tried to discover the lost

eLAY's FIRST SPEECH.
Il Began In Confusion, but Ended In
Triumph,

Triumph
Henry Clay as young man was ex-
tremely bashful, although he possessed
uncommon brightness Of intellect and
fascinating address, without effort
making the little he knew pass for
much more. In the early part Of his
career he settled in Lexington, Va,
where he found the society most con-
genial, though the clients seemed
somewhat recaIcitrant to the young
lawyer. He Joined debating society
at length. but for several meetings he
remained silent listener.
One evening after lengthy debate
the subject was being put to a vote
when Clay WAS heard to observe soft,
ly to a friend that the matter in ques.
tion was by no means exhausted. Hs
was at once asked to speak and after
some hesitation rose to his feet. Find
ing himself thus Unexpectedly con.
fronted by an audience, he was GOV.
cred with confusion and began, as be
had frequently done, In imaginary ap.
peals to the court, Gentlemen of the
jury"
A litter that ran through the au.
dience only served to heighten his en-
barrassment, and the obnoxious phrase
fell from his lips again. Then he gath.
cred himself together and launched
into peroration 50 brilliantly lucid
and impassioned that 1t carried the
house by storm and laid the corner
stone to his future greatness, his first
case coming to him as a result of THU
speech, which some consider the finest
he ever made.

his foot slipped, and. with groan, he
began to slide down slowly toward the
edge
As he slid he clutched with tense
fingers at the tin, but 1t was smooth.
1t offered him no hold, and his speed
gradually but surely increased.
AS In a sitting posture, like tobog-

as possible like starflsh. And his
speed ut once decreased. The addi-
tional friction surface acted like a
brake. A few feet from the edge of
the roof he came to anchor.
Help, he then shouted.
But the slight movement of shouting
acted like push, and he slipped down
a few inches more.
"Helpr And again he slid little.

thrown, and the man climbed back to
safety.
