The Maupie CeiIinu.


One OF the apartments in the an
cient royal palace at Cintra, Portugal,
is known as the Hall Of Magpes.
Painted in the arabesque ceiling is to
he found swarm of magpies. Each
has in the mouth a scroll, on which,
painted in red on Il 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 cX-
planned to the queen, "E pOr benz minka
sacre" con, it is nothing at all. 1t is
quite right There is no harm in it'O. 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
q smile, "Por bem! Por bemw The
king thought 1t time to act, so he com
missioned an artist to paint on the
ceiling as many magpies as there were
talkative ladies about the court, each
holding in the beak the ribbon with
the words, "Por m."-London Globe.

Fate of PortuqaI's Homer.

"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.
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age of Portugal. and its
main feature is the rounding of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana
while n most interesting episode is
the crowning after death of IncZ de
Castro as queen Of Portugal. THE
Lusiad" took its name from LuSius
who was said to have founded Lisbon
Its author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly
was blighted 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 banish-
ment and was recalled in 1911, losing
on the way all his property except his
poem. Pensioned at first by the king
this great epic poet Of Portugal died
In great poverty in 1870 when his
patron was also dead.

When a game warden bought seven
pounds of meat and paid "a dollar a
pound for 1t he thought he was get
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against man in Herkimer county
whom he supposed to be a chronic
violator of the game law. The pro-
tector found this particular piece Of
meat in an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted it for venison.
What will you take for that chunk
OF meat?" he asked the owner.
"That's a tender piece of meat" re-
piled the woodsman, with wink at
the stranger, land meat is dear way
back up here. | wouldn't part with 1T
for less n a dollar n pound"
"Well, give me a pound"
Nope; couldn't do that. 1t would
spile the piece for cooliin' to do that"
The game warden had to take the
whole thing, and he paid 81 for it, sat
isfied that he had caught one OF the
worst game law violators in the Adj
rondacks. Down to Albany he sent
the meat for the forest, fish and game
commission to analyZe to prove 1t ven
ison. But it wasn't. 1t was veal.
The backwoodsmen tell the story as
one of the best jokes ever played on

Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of st. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in 112O
and standing In front of the quay and
landing steps of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes Of
Venice for many years. At first they
lay PROSTATE for a long time, while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But reward offered by the doge at
length induced one Nicolo Barratiero
(Nick the Blackleg) to offer his serv-
ices. He succeeded and claimed as
his reward the privilege of carrying
on between the columns games Of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law.
To neutrallze this as much as possible
1t was enacted that all public execu-
tions should take place on the same
spot. One column is surmounted by
the Lion of st. Mark. The other car
ries fine figure of St Theodore, the
patron saint of the city, who stands
upon a crocodile and with sword and
buckler gives token that the motto Of
Venice is Defense, Not Defiance"

Portuguese and Goldfish.

1t is an interesting fact that the fish
ermen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing industry on
the "banks" off the northern coast of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland is unabated-in
fact, it is a national Portuguese dain-
ty. 1t is found in every little grocery
shop, hard and brown as Il board. \
number of Portuguese have made their
home on the islands TO the south of
the mainland Of Massachusetts and
there the dark eyes Of the Ibcrian
maiden, raven locks and Il certain pic
turesque element in dress are not in
frequent. This connection with Por-
tugal dates back many years, the
ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging
the distance over sea and returning
with Portuguese crews. Exchange

Down In a Coal Mine,

To the ear accustomed to the con-
stant sound of living world the still
ness of a coal mine, where the miles
of crosscuts and entries and the I'M
yielding walls swallow up all sounds
and echo is 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
trickling murmur of the gas, the spat-
tering fall of a lump Of coal loosened
by some mysterious force from
Granny in the wall, the sudden knock
ing and breaking of 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-
trate the darkness, but the darkness is
so complete that there is a limlt-the
limit of the rays cast by the pit lamp

A Stitch of Pain.

A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain
In the muscles of the side like the
piercing Of needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise is taken i'm
mediately after n hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working Of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an
other direction-namely, In assisting
the digestion OF the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
OF nervous energy required for eIer'
else, whether it be debility or the proc
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion. is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain.

He Found His Man.

Englishmen are rather fond Of polk

where other than the Anglo-Saxon ele-

jet for jest is the prevalence of the
Jones family in Wales.
One of the colleges of oxford univer-

men. A man from another college
