Converts at Lisbon Looted
by Anti-clericals.
TREASURES ARE DESTROYED
Ignorance Of Portuguese Pointed
Oat BY Noted Writers-voltaire
Quoted Frequently BY Leaders of
New Regime Gen. Pelloux Dee
r,aounces Mayor Nathan, Of Rome.

Rome, Feb. 4.-Recent advices from
Portugal state that many books. manu-
scripts, and scientific instruments Of
great value were destroyed by the anti
clericals who a few months ago looted
tine monasteries and converts Of Lisbon.
The Portuguese Provincial referring to
one of the Jesuit institutions recently
said:
Their notes, their manuscripts, their
books which were the fruits of long
years of labor and research are all lost.
In the name of liberty they have been
robbed of scientific collections of incal-
culable value, of museums of natural his
tory, Of physical cabinets, and labora-
tories in the college Of Campolidc which
had been created by fifty years OF unre-
mitting and disinterested economy and
toll"
< ncn-Catholic English writer who
visited Campolide after its destruction.
states that he saw 1.-The republican apos-
ties of progress and enlightenment smash
ing the valuable microscopes and up-to-
date scientific apparatus of the so-called
obscurantist priests" Such vandalism as
described by this impartial eyewitness
shows that the anti-clerical Portuguese
mob Of the twentieth century is not very
much like the sixteenth century mob Of
England which destroyed whole libraries
and looted the magnificent library Of the
Abbey of Malmcsbury. which possessed
some Of the finest manuscripts In the
kingdom.
/. An antiquary who passed through that
town many years>after the dissolution,
relates that he saw broken windows
patched I'D with remnants of the most
valuable manuscripts and that the bakers
had not even then consumed In heating
their ovens the stores they had accumu-
lated" The editor Of the Athen4e gives
a curious instance of vandalism. The
mischief committed at this time he
says, ''can scarcely be conceived. nave
seen some fine old chronicles ana volumes
or miscellaneous literature muttlated BE-
cause the Illustrations were supposed by
the visitors to represent popes and saints,
when they were really INTENDED Tor the
portraits Of kings and warriors.
History Is repeating itself In the land
o1 Canoes, and owing to the malice and
ignorance of fhe Portuguese anti-cierf-
calls the world OF letters has doubtless
lost many literary treasures.

hate by the leaders Of the new regime IN

She was q charwoman, who had been
living for FIVE years In the same house.
but on account OF her terrible temper
the proprietor decided upon her cxpul-
sion. When the day was at hand she
told . neighbor that she was going To
make good STIR in the house before
leaving. In the morning. In fact, long
before the expulsion was to take place.
she stole down the stairs. and, rushing
Into the room where the concierge slept.
she threw a bundle Of flaming rags ON
to her bed and ran out.
The concierge. whose bed took hre.
jumped out. and barely escaped with her
life. The chArwoman, who had gone into
the courtyard to watch the result. saw
that the concierge had escaped and
screamed out: .Ah. you were not burnt!
Well. you shall ace something better.
She then rushed ur the stairs to her
room and locked the door.
A minute later two shots were heard at
the charwoman's' window. and down came
her body with . crash into the courtyard.
She had fired two shots into her head on

Napoleon as a sticker.

When only boy at military school
Napoleon got a certain mathematical
problem that no teacher or pupil In
the school had ever been able to
work out. Napoleon shut himself up
in his room for three days and three
nights and when he came out there
was the answer all ready. Perhaps
some of the other pupils could have
dono as we'll had they set themselves
down to 1t as Napoleon did But after
all 1t was a foolish thing to do, be-
cause it seemed to be question
whether the answer would come be-
fore Napoleop's health or mind would
give way. Yet it was this same power
of concentration, self-control. self dis.
cfpline and force of will that made
Napoleon hold his mind Tor so long a
time upon one single thing without
tagging. and il enabled him like q
broom TO sweep all Europe with the
armies of France and change the map
of the world But what good did 1t do
him?
