HOTELS IN PORTUGAL.
Paying Ones Bill There Becomes Q
Duel In Politeness.

Duel In Politeness.
When travelling for the first time In
Portugal one is apt TO become exas-
perated when he desires TO settle up
with his landlord at the hotel. When
the traveller asks how much his bill is
the landlord bows graciously. smiles
suavely. rubs his hands together and
replies that the bill is as much rs the
guest wishes TO contribute.
This Is simply the opening Of n duel
Of politeness. for the hardened traveller
nt once thanks the landlord for his con.
fidence In him and again very courte-
ously nsks for n detailed statement OF
his account. Still the bill Is not forth
coming. for the landlord declares that
he does not wish TO insult his guest in
any such manner. Finally the land
lord does reckon up the charges on his
fingers. When he has finished he asks
the traveller how much the sum total
Is. II the traveller hasn't kept track OF
IL the landlord very laborlously goes
over the account again. II the guest
has footed up the bill the landlord Is
sure that II cannot be so much and in.
sists on n re-reckoning. The result Is
the same, aud the landlord Invariably
needs TO bring two or three more I'm.
gers into use for items that had been
accidentally omitted.
Needless TO state. the traveller not
hardened TO this process brenthes o
deem sigh of relief when he escapes"

THE KICKER.
An Entirely Different Sort Of Man
From the Growler.

An Entirely Different Sort Of Man
From the Growler
There is a world Of difference be
tween the man who kicks and the man
who growls.
The man who kiclss-who truly, ear
nestly and honestly kicks-ls q good
kind of man to have about He kicks
because things are not as they should
be, and he proposes to correct them
The man who growls is merely a mega.
tive quality. He may know that things
are not going right, but he hasn't
any idea OF trying to do anything
about IL He Just sits round and com
plains.
You remember Mark Twalns story
about the kicker and how successful
he whs I'm securing everything that be-
longed to him. He was a producer In
the best sense of the word. just as
every man who kicks In the right way
Is certain 10 be. You probably know
Just such men-men who are chronic
kickers. Let anything go wrong and
they go 'up in the air" In n minute,
but you can depend upon Il that that
particular thing will never go wrong
again II they can prevent II.
A kicker may not be the most agree.
able person TO have around, yet he Is n
healthful factor in almost any estab
llshment. lie has his faults, but II
Is possible 10 overlook them for the
sake Of the productive value that he
represents.
AS to the growler-there seems to
be no place for him in the work OF
the world He may complain loudly
and whine and talk about other peo.
pie. but he remedies no faults. he re.
pairs no leaks-he Just makes trouble.
That Is the dlffrence between the
kicker and the growler.-Buslness

Pepsin Fifty Years Old

The introduction of pepsin as a
remedia! agent effected a complete
revolution in the method of restoring
to normal the ailments which in the
old days were classed in a group as
dyspepsia.
Ii physicians were to observe ami
versaries Of the discovery of remedies
which had proven a blessing to man.
kind, the entire profession would
unite in remembering the fiftieth
anniversary Of the first manufacture
of pepsin in this country.
Just half a century ago the late
John Carrick. the eminent physiologi-
cal chemist and the father of physi-
illogical products in the United
States, made possible a new epoch
in American medicine by producing
the first pepsin.
Pepsin had been made in a small
way in Europe before Mr.. Carrick's
enterprise caused it to be introduced
here, as it was originally suggested
by DR.. Corvisant, of Paris. The
quality was SO poor, however. that
its use was distinctly limited. Hy-
