UNEAs1NEss IN PORTUGAL.

The republican government OF Por-
tugal is somewhat uneasy over the at
titude of the regiments which made
the revolution possible. Although
not openly insubordinate, the soldiers,
flushed with victory, are showing
extreme independence, and are cham
pionirg the maintenance OF strong
power in the hands Of the military.
The governments real reason for
according leave OF absence for four
| months to the soldiers who took part
in the rising, with full pay, is the
desire to break up the regiments
temporary and removed the danger OF
military rebellion. The majority OF
the soldiers, however, have refused to
accept this offer, saying that they
would not be duped by the deceptive
libcrality on the part OF the cabinet.
The minister Of war visited their bar
racks and pleaded the necessity Of pa
tience and forbearance during the try
ing moment of the republic.
The attitude of the military, which
includes the First artillery and the Six
tccnth Infantry, in addition to a batta-
lion OF marines, is being adopted by
the militant civil rcvolutionists, who
arc impatient to gather the fruits OF
their triumph.
On the other hand. the monarchlst
ofliceholders, who have sworn alleg-
lance to the republic, insist upon re-
tanning their position.
The minister Of justice is framing a
bill looking to separation OF the church
and state. The republican press declares
that the presence OF Mgr. MaselJa,
whom Mgr. Tonti. the papal nuncio,
left on guard at the nunciaturc when
be departed for Rome, is parallel case
TO that OF Mgr. Montagniui, former
secretary of the papal nunciature at
Paris, who was expelled from Franco,
and insists that, like Mortagniui,
Mgr. Masella should be expelled.

The foreign debt OF Portugal is esti-

1t is announced that the Brazilian
government has recognized the repub-
lie.
Mgr. Touti, the papal nuncio at
Lisbon, arrived in Paris yesterday anu
left in the evening for Rome. In the
course of an interview the papal
nuncio said he feared that the provis-
ional government would dercee Che
separation OF the church and state be-
fore the election OF constituent as
sembly. Although restoration of the
monarchy was impossible, he thought
the new governments not as solid as il
appears.
II have a firm hope" said the
nuncio, "that the troubled hours will
be succeeded by a revival of strong
Catholicism"

AssOaVED WHIE.E DROWNING.

A dramatic story was told at an
inquest held at Dalkey, near Dublin,
on Saturday, on the Rev. Father
English, OF St. NIary's College, Rath=

how he and Father English went to
bathe at Dalkey After swimming
about fifty yards they turned to come
in, when Father English cried Help!

Il seized his arm and dragged him
to within ten yards OF the rocks. said
Father Walsh, when the heavy back
wash swept us out again. Three times
I cndeayored to bring. in my friend,
and each time we were washed back.
At length, becoming exhausted, | lost

Father English made feeble en-
leavor 10 swim, and Father Walsh,

It was after midnight and Moul-
ton was returning to his boarding
houseSon bad terms with himself and
the world. He had sat through q
stupid show for no other reason than
than he had nothing else to do. He
was wondering how many Of these
lonely evenings he could endure. He
had been in the city six weeks and was
as friendless as when he started, the
acquaintance he had made in con-
nection with his business and at his
boarding house not appealing to him
as possible intimates. But this even
ing he recognized that he was be-
coming desperate.
"Other fellows make friends" Moul-
ton reflected. They don't need six
weeks to do it, either How the deuce
do they manage it?' He told himself
gloomfly it was partly a question OF
luck, and the luck was always against
him.
What further pessimistic conclu-
sion he might have reached, left to
himself, it is impossible to say. for
at this instant he was accosted, and
by young woman. She was dressed
most peculiarly for the street, guilt
less of hat or. wrap. Her close fitting
blue frock gave glimpse of white
neck and the sleeves, ending at the
elbow, revealed pair Of plump pretty
arms.
Excuse me- said the girl to
Moulton, and paused.
In Moulton's present state Of feel
ing he would have excused any human
being who made advances toward &C
quaintance, but in the case of the girl.
the need of excuses was especially
slight.
80 you,' began the girl hesitat-
ingly, "do you mind -rats?'
In an instant Moulton understood.
Her unusual dress, her. unconven-
tional hating Of a stranger andwhen
he came to notice tia certain wild
ness in her gaze, all pointed to the
same painful conclusion: This fair
young creature had escaped some in
excusably careless keeper. Moulton
had had few dealings with the in
sane, but he recalled having heard
that 1t was advisable always to agree
with them. Her voice had trembled as
she asked the question, and Moulton
promptly fell into her mood
Mind them?" he repeated. Il
should say do. Horri ole vermin."
It Is never well to trust too much
to theories, especially the theories of
other people. The girl stamped her
foot.
Il never heard of such thing"
she cried. IA great big man-you
must be fully six feet-afraid of rats.

IOWA As q FRUIT STATE.

:
The state Horticultural society at
its convention in Des Moines passed q
resolution favoring the establishment
OF q state publicity bureau when
brings out some interesting polnts
touching on the fertility Of Iowa soil.
The committee in reporting the reso-
buttons stated that the matter Of publ
city had been given considerable
thought by horticulturists during the
mast wear. becausee they believed a
considerable portion of the population
Iowa lost had been attracted to the
widely advertised fruit districts OF the
west. Continuing the resolutions
said:
Iowa has made her reputation on
her corn and hogs and even her own
neople are unaware that she is favor
ably situated for horticultural pur-
suits. That our state might rival
those most famous in this direction is
evidenced by the success Of those who
are following up scientific methods
In the culture of, fruit and vegetables.
we believe that, there are localities in
IOWA where apples can be grown with
as great a certainty of success as in
the most favored sections on the Pa
cific coast where orchard land values
range from $500 to $4,000 per acre. If
the same care and attention be given.
GAS evidence of this fact we,point to
the success of number Of this society
who report net profit of $4,000 from
= single crop of apples on less than
forty acres, and succession Of five
profitable crops from the same orchard
We ind that blackberries have yielded
ne. high as 500 per acre, and three
acre patch OF red raspberries whose
owner claims a return Of $1,000 per
acre on an average for three years in
succession.
with onions we find man who has
averaged return OF 1887 per acre
from q forty-acre field for a period of
ten years.
.These are only representative of
others that can be mentioned. That
there are not more such reports is be-
cause SO few people are engaged in
this kind of pursuit in our great state. :"
The resolutions declared that
these facts should be brought to the
attention, not only of the people of our
avn state, but Of other states as well
ito the end that Iowa's possibilities in
this direction may become better
known.
systematic plan of advertising I'M
der the direction of state bureau Of
publicity was favored as the best
means Of placing Iowa, where it be-
longs. In the front rank of fruit grow

4 An eastern man was led to make an
investigation of the wastefulness IN
throwing good coal out in ashes. Tell
ing of his experiences in one OF the
magazines he said he noticed bright
Jumps of coal in an ash heap In the
rear of a hotel, and securing guam
tity of the stuff he screened it care
fully, picking out all foreign matter.
Then he secured other lots of ashes
from furnaces and small stoves, picked
up in dumps in alleys, and he found
that after screening the asnes netted
from 25 to SIS per cent in good coal.
Just investigate this matter in your
own ash pile. See how much good
coal and how much partly burned coal
is thrown out and then consider
whether it would not prove great
saving to secure screen and save
this coal. One way to conserve the
national resources is to secure the full
benefit from their use.

producers. The problem. that con-
fronts us not only in Iowa, but in the
entire country, is to restore this bal.
ance and increase the number of pro-

Iowa can start first and get estab-

said the way he won his. cavalry
charges was to "get there fustest with

This is not against the publicity

are two kinds of advertising-gen

Mrs, Jennie Steele Huegle. county
superintendent of schools in Polk
county, is planning a revival of the
old-fashioned spelling match this win
ter. Her plan is for spelling match
in each school to determine the best
speller. The best speller in each school
will contest in township spelling bee.
The winners of each Of the twenty-one
townships in Polk county will then be
pitted against each other in county
match. Such 2 contest would not only
be interesting, but it would have great
educational value. 1t might pr!ofitably
be extended to other branches besides
spelling. When study is placed on q
competitive basis the interest Of the
students is reused, just as the COM
|petitive factor in sports stirs the blood

The California state board OF
health has made compilation that
should make all of us throw our chests
out a bit. 1t has figured out that the
average cost of the upbuilding Of a
child from birth to the age OF twenty
is s4,15O, and it's average commercial
value at the end Of that time is $4,000.
1t estimates that the average man OF
thirty is worth $4,000 $4,000 value
plus $4,000 net earnings-and his
cost s1O,15O for growth and main
tenance, or net gain of $3.50 at the
age of thirty. So the average man of
thirty can figure his value at $4,000,
which should make him feel plutocratic
even if he doesn't happen to have the
change about him.
