SMALL FARMS OF PORTUGAL
Their Division Into Dlminutive Por-
tions Due TO Survival Of Anti
quated System.

The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every man 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-
yided into as many parts as there are
heirs. More than this, each separate
part of the property is thus divided.
Thus If property consists of 10
acres of pasture land, so of vineyard
and 10 OF grain land and there were
10 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 very
long time, so that now in the most
fertile part of Portugal the land is
divided into incredibly small portions.
The immediate result of this is that
the product of the land is barely suf-
ficient at best TO sustain its owners.
South OF the river Tagus, on the other
hand, there are enormous tracts OF
excellent land lying unused, but 1t has
been found impossible to induce the
farmers OF the north to move into this
region and take up large holdings.

THE RULING PASSION STRONG
Physical Discomfort Counted Little

Of Wealth. I,n'

Dr. Charles Mccormick, the physi
clan who says that 'the man with the
crouch" can not resist disease like
his more contented brother, referred
again to this assertion at a recent din.

Ill health, weakness, dyspepsia.
"A confirmed crouch can't be got
rid of. A grouchy person is governed
by his crouch as a miser is governed
by his meanness. And when 1t comes
to misers!"
DR.. Mccormick laughed.
"A little, lean. pale miser OF Peca-
tonca," he said, was one evening OBJ

smith. Though his nose was bleed

fought determinedly. The, hurculean

the little miser never bulged an inch.

WhistIinq and Weeping Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life Is
the sofar, or whistling tree of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree
it gives out flutelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange. weird melodies. 1t is
the spirit of the dead singing among
the branches. the natives say, but the
scientific white man say that the
sounds are due to a myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary
islands is another arboreal freak. This
tree in the driest weather will rain
down showers from its leaves, and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot of the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores at the base of the leaves.

IN THE MARRIAGE LOTTERY
Many Reasons Advanced Justifyinq
Advice to Lonely Man to
Marry a Widow.

Passing from these higher emotions
OF the soul. there remain many and
numerous practical reasons for marry
ing a widow, says a writer in the
Washington Post. In the first place
she knows man, all his little weak
nesses and foibles. She makes allow
ances for them, and even INDUCES the
poor fellow in his more harmless fol-
lies, just as the experienced trainer
from time to time gives the colt the
rein. There is a wisdom in this that
the young thing just graduated from
an unbroken course of ice cream, soda
water and theater parties might well
desire to possess; it would save many
a rude shock in beginning the stern
realities of married existence. Another
thing, she can cook. No / may have
lived to eat the fiaky biscuit and un.
improbable pastry of her making, but
II Is doubtful whether he was ever
able TO enjoy them. BY the time she
had mastered the AIT his Indigestion
had become irreparably damaged; he
could only look and long and return
TO dry toast and tea. In a thousand
little ways the second husband was
the beneficiary and could truthfully
acknowledge that dear Johns loss was
his own great gain. All of the testi-
mony, however, is not of this charac-
ter. Marriage is a lottery at best, and
one may draw a blank in picking a
widow Just as easily as through the
choice of an untried mate.

Some ten or twelve years ago Mr..
Osborn was a candidate for guberna-
t0rial hOnors. but at a time when he
was not so well known as at present.
and in the meantime he has enjoyed
the benefits incident TO studying polit-
ical and social conditions in various
parts Of the world. as he has been a
traveller Of unusual endurance and per

Mr. Osborn belongs TO the vigorous

their abundance Of nervous energy. II
Is related that when he visited the
White House several years ago. Presl-
dent Roosevelt expressed his delight
with the 500 man, and as he was leav-
ing chided him with being the only
man he had ever met able to talk az
rapidly as he could himself.
Having determined that he wants TO

Scott, sitting In special session Of the

down Saturday, the suit styled Green
and Parker against Morton Msrye, su-
ditor OF public accounts, state of Vir-

a debt against the United States, en-
suing from money loaned to the govern
ment by Virginia for the conduc! of the
war of 1872, the court holding that
money formerly owed by the state TO the
nation had cOunterbalauced the old debt,
and that the adjustment had been
brought about by the earnest and faith
ful efforts of United States Senators
Daniel and Martin, former Governor A.
]. Montague, and John G. Dew, second
auditor.

the debt in favor of the auditor Of public
accounts, the same to be paid in money /;
aud they were to receive 10 per cent OF
sny sum of money collected by them.
But Congress never appropriated any
sum for the payment of the debt, the
claim being Offset by that OF the United
States against Virginia. This being
true, the court was of the opinion that
nothing was due in the shape of COM
missions, and the suit vas dismissed.
