Eafo of PortuoaI's Homer,

1.-THE Lusiad" is one Of the noblest
records ever written Of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
tccnth century, which has been called
the heroic age Of Portugal, and Its
main feature is the. rounding OF tho
Cape Of Good Hope by Fasco dn Cana,
while most interesting episode IS
the crowning after death Of lnez de
Castro as queen of Portugal. The
Lusiad' took It's name from Lusius,
who was said to have founded Lisbon.
It's author was born about 1920, and
his career which began brilliantly,
was blightcd by the death OF broken
heart of the lady Of his love, for whose
sake he was banished from the land.
He wrote The Lusiad'' in his Danish
ment and was recalled in 1911, losing
on the way ali his property except his
poem pcnsioned ut first by the king,
this great epic poet OF Portugal died
in great poverty in 1910. when bis
patron was also dead.

MistIetoe a Menace.

Few people who know mistletoe only
as a desirable feature Of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
is parasite dangerous to the life Of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
1t is only question Of time after
mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life OF
the infected branches. Fortunately it
is Of slow growth, taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected 1t invariably ruins all trees
It reaches. The only method of exter-
mination is the cutting down Of dis
eased rees.-Exchange

Tunina Bells.

"What q beautiful tone that bell
hast" is often heard. There arc few,
however, who know how Il bell re-
ceivcs lis joyful or solemn tones. All
bells after they are cast and finished
must 60 through 4 process Of tuning
the same as any other musical instru-
ment before they respond with clear,
true tone Every bell sounds FIVE
notes, which must blend together in
order to produce perfect harmony. The
tuning Of bell is done BY means OF
shaving thin bits from various parts
Of The metal. It is as easy for an eX-
pert bell tuner TO put q bell in tune
as il is for piano tuner TO adjust his
instrument to perfect chords At first
thought it would seem that bell
would be ruined should Il tuner shave
off too much at the last tuning. or the
fifth sound. but such is not the case.
He would however, be obliged to be-
gin over, starting again with the first
tone and shaving the bell till 1t gave
forth its harmonious sound at the it'll
tone.-Scientific American.

Tho Maspie Ceiling.

One Of the apartments in the an
Gent royal palace at Cintra, Portugal,
Is known as the Hall Of Magples.
Painted in the arabesque ceiling is to
be found a swarm Of magpies. Each
has in the mouth q scroll, on which,
painted in red on 4 white ground, are
the words, "Por benz" The story
runs that King John Of Portugal was
making love to one of the maids OF
honor in this chamber and was sur
prised by the queen His majesty made
the best of the circumstances and e1-
plained to the queen, "E por benz minka
sacre" cob. it is nothing at all. 1t Is
quite right. There is no harm in it). As
TO whether the queen was satisfied the
legend is silent, but the ladies OF the
court were deeply Interested and were
constantly saying to one another with
Il smile, "Por benz! Por benz" The
king thought it time to act, so he COM
missioncd m artist to paint on the
ceiling as many magpics as there were
laxative ladies about the court, each
holding in the beak the ribbon with
the words, "Por bem."-London Globe.

1t is an interesting fact that the fish

There had been some talk OF placing

Down In a Coal Mine.

TO the ear accustomed to the con-
slant sound Of a living world the still
ness Of n coal mine, where the miles
Of crosscuts and entries and the IN
yielding walls swallow up all sounds
ana echo is a silence that is complete.
but as one becomes accustomed to the
silence through long hours OF solitary
work sounds become audible that
would escape an ear less trained. The
tricliling murmur Of the gas, the spat-
tcring fall Of lump Of coal loosened
By some mysterious force from d
Granny in the wall, the sudden knock
ing and breaking OF n stratum far up
in the rock above or the scurry OF a
rat off somewhere In the darkness
strike on the ear loud and startling.
The eye, too. becomes trained TO pene-
;ratc the darkness, but the darkness Is
SO complete that there is a limit-the
limit Of the rays cast by the pit lamp.
