EAsY-ooiNG PORTUGUESE.

In odd contrast to the modern
rush and "honk" of the automobiles
and the clang of the trolley cars are
the saloios or small farmers who ride
nonchalantly through the twentieth
century hubbub on the back. the ex-
treme back. of small patient-eyed
mules. Though the country has
progressed and the farmers are pro-
crossing toward prosperity, they have
consistently refused to move farther
forward on the mules back in Por-
tugal than the last fifth Of his anat-
omy. Perhaps the custom arose from
the time when the mule carried a
large load just before the rider, and
tine habit has not been broken--The

eHlsERTps DOORS.

The world-renowned doors Of the
Baptistry at Florence represent neE-
ly the entire life work of Ghiberti.
He began the first pair when he was
twenty-three years old, and when he
finished the second pair he was sew
enty-three. Excepting the three
statues outside of San Michele and
one or two minor works, these two
pairs of bronze doors represent his
labors for half century. These
doors, declared by Michael Angelo
eft to be the gates of paradise" rep
resent the Book of Genesis, in all the
depths of its meaning, and the skill
of the artist has never been over
praised. 1t is impossible to exagger-
ate the glory of the work, and if one
has the time and money the sight Of
these wonderful doors is well worth
the trip to Florence.

Stage people all hate Wednesday

Frances Ring, of the "Wallingford"
company, is no different from the

her apartment and the parrot likes
onions. Sunday evening Polly ate
a whole onion and it made her sleepy.
While doing she lost her balance
and fell off her perch. Miss Ring
heard her hit the floor and rushed
into the room. She put Polly back
on the perch. The bird shook her
self and looking around, said;

BRAIN DURING SLEEP.

Certainly the brain is more active
while engaged in dreaming than
when not thus engaged. The only
perfect sleep is that which is dream
less. The moment the sleeper be-
gins to dream he begins to work,
and the more vivid and protracted
the dream the more intense, natur-
ally, becomes the work. II is posi-
bic that at no time during the wax.

active as it is in the strange business

is long suffering. There was a new
owner who took his family out for
first ride one day last August. In
going down a hill on which the clay
was slippery from recent rain it be-
came necessary to turn out for car
coming up.
The new driver made the turn 90
sucs efully that he turned clear
over Nkhe edge Of the embankment.
Having nothing but air TO support
it, the auto turned completely over
without spilling passenger and
landed right side up and on an even
keel in a marsh Is feet below. II
was necessary to get team to pull
the car out Of the mud, but once on
the solid road the new owner simply
cranked FER up and went on his way
rejoicing.
Another new owner could not find
the key to faslcn one rear wheel on
the axle when he unloaded his auto
from the car in which it had Lcen
shipped from the factory. Neverthe-
less he started up the motor accord
ing to directions and Travelled IL
miles with one wheel driving. BY
this time the outraged motor was red
hot. Whereupon the owner stopped
at a farmhouse and dashed several
buckets of cold water on it. Then
plugged around the country a week
or so before he decided to go to the
agent to lodge complaint that his
derned car didn't "pull" well-From

and unnecessary loss; to secure the
