THE 0VARINAS.
Picturesque 5arefooted Fish Hawkers
of Portugal

Picturesque Barefooted Fish Hawkers
of Portugal.
The ovarinas are perhaps the most
interesting people in Portugal They
are probably the lineal descendants Of
the original inhabitants Of the land,
and now come from a small place
called Murtosa .(Estarreja). not far
from Oporto. AS the termination indi-
Gates, the overinas are the women of
these people
Both old and young. for even young
children are thus employed, are ex-
ceedingly active and energetic. They
go about barefoot. wearing a peculiar
costume, and carrying huge baskets of
peculiar shape on their heads. They
navel many miles a day and penetrate
into every corner of the city, crying
their wares in a loud. unmusical shout.
They mount even to the sixth floors
and bargain with buyers. They GO
barefoot not because of their poverty,
many of them possessing expensive
gold ornaments, but because they can
thus more easily cover the many miles
they run during the day. Attempts
have been made to do away with this
method Of selling fish, but they have
all failed. The customers like to deal
with these fish girls and can purchase
from them very small amounts.
Fish is not purchased by weight, but
by the fish or part of fish. The price
averages - to Is cents per pound.
There are not less than 1000 ovarinas
engaged in selling fish In Lisbon

FORTUNE ISLAND.
The Story of the Buried Prize of an
English Brccaneer.

An English buccaneer, having looted
and fired a rich prize, found himself
pursued in turn by a Spanish pirate,
and in order to save his treasure sought
some isolated shore on which to bury
it until the time came to divide the
spoils with his followers. So he ran
into the Bahama group and, landing on
a low lying strip of sand and palm
trees, cached his plumber and. naming
the place Fortune island. sailed away.
He left a number of negro slaves be-
hind to guard the buried treasure. and
the present inhabitants are said to be
descended from these slaves. The For
never returned for his chest and that
it is still hidden somewhere near the
tide level. 1t is no uncommon sight
for tourists on the rare occasions when
a steamer stops there to see some half
naked black man digging in the sand,
probably In obedience to a dream or
other sign.
The natives are half civilized, exceed
ingly superstitious and very poor and
live mostly on fish and fruit. They
do not attempt to plant vegetables, pre-
fering to rely on the bounty of nature,
as the fierce hurricanes that sweep the
Bahamas soon uproot and destroy gar
dens. The little colony is huddled to-
gether in a collection of squalid huts
that are blown clear away in nearly
every storm and have to be built anew.
The island is nine miles long and a
mile wide at the broadest part and lies
10 miles northeast of Cuba. - New

When the late Pierre Lorillard was
a boy, his mother, being annoyed by
moths that destroyed the wooden cloth
ing and other material of the house
hold, agreed to pay him a cent apiece
for every moth he would kill in the
house and bring to her. The same
bargain was made with his brothers,
Jake, George and Louis. In course of
time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that, while
the other children collected from her
at intervals from 10 to % cents, Pierre
drew on her frequently for a 81 at a
time. indorsing his drafts with 100
dead moths. Investigation revealed
the bent of the future financier as

SURPRISES In Chinese,

"Some people," said an American
consul to China, live as long as
twenty years in China and never learn
more than a dozen Chinese express
sions. But not so my little girl. She
used to meet me each evening with
some new Chinese expression which
she had learned during the day. Now,
the Chinese language. like the Japan
csc, is full of honoriics, and l fondly
imagined one evening, when my little
girl greeted me with some entirely
new expressions, that she was saying
something like this: Here comes the
honorable parsonage. my father
ITO verify my guess asked little
Chinese boy to translate. At first he
was rather backward, but ! urge9 him
until he finally said:

says. Here comes that old wooden
headed BOTTLE Yes, there are some

was so beset with Indians that the
inhabitants were in straits for daily

old, made himself extremely useful by
venturing out of the fort before day
break and returning with a load of
game after nightfall This intrepid
youth was James Ray, afterward GEN

come. saw the enemy and was on the
point of raising his rife when he was
set upon by another band who had
crept near him unseen.
He took to his heels and, being a
quick runner. reached the fort amid a
shower of bullets. but the gates were
shut, and the men inside were so
frightened that they dared not open
them. Finding himself shut out, Ray
threw himself fiat on the ground in
the rear of stump, and here, perhaps
seven steps from the fort and within
sight of his mother. he lay for four
hours, while the bullets of the Indians
tore up the ground on either side of
him.
AT last he grew impatient and called
out to the garrison:
For heavens sake, dig hole under
the cabin wall and take me in!'

was speedily safe inside the fort.

houses (for over fifty per cent of the
inhabitants of these United States
can neither read or write), the towns

let's throughout the South and West,
where His Word is rarely heard, are
full of little ones to whom the Of
tense is constantly given, the offense
of neglect. And how shall they
hear without a preacher? And how
shall they preach except they be
sent?' The little ones must go feed
on the crumbs which fall from,
while the dogs (heathen) ''eat at the

of our Lords teaching, means that
the six million dollars, which it is
hoped will be raised for foreign fields,

to st. Peter to first Feed My lambs,
Feed My sheep, Feed My sheep,

flowing "cup" and the fragments
that remain, there shall be more
than enough left over to fulfill the
last great command.
