When Portugal Was Great.

The announcement that Portugal Is

the Portuguese colonies" is a remind.
err of the vanished greatness of what
was once the leading colonizing en-
pire in the world. From Lisbon in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
went out marines through the I'M
known and uncharted oceans to AT
RIGA, India and the New World to the
west, and planted the flag of Portugal
ia every corner Of The globe. But in
Africa alone has Portugal maintained
its hold Of colonies Of any magnitude.
In India are little bits of Portuguese
territory, Nova Goa, southeast OF
Bombay, being the capital of all
Portuguese Gslonies east of Cape OF
Good Hope; while as far east as China
the island of Macao, in the Canton
river, first colonized nearly 400 years

the government at Lisbon.

THAT ABODE OF THE PAST
John eaIsVorthy's Charming Picture
of an Old Disused Southern
Landmark.

Eyes. suh-here We are at that old
time place!" And our dark driver
drew up his little victoria gently,
writes John Galsworthy in Scribner's.
Through the open doorway, into
dim cavern of ruined house, We passed
The mildew and dirt, the dark, de-
nuded darkness of that old hostel,
rotting down with damp and timel
And our guide, the tall, thin, gray
haired dame, who came forward with
such native ease, and moved before
us, touching this fungused wall, that
rusting stairway and telling, as it
were, no one, in her soft, slow
speech, things that any one could see
what a strange and fitting figure.
Before the smell Of the deserted,
oozing rooms, before that old creature
leading us on and on, negligent of all
our questions and talking to the air,
as though We were not, we felt such
discomfort that We soon made to go
out again into such freshness as there
was on that day of dismal heat. Then
realizing, 1t seemed, that she was los.
ing us, our guide turned; for the first
time looking in our faces, she smiled
and said In her sweet, weak voice
like the sound from the strings of a
spinnet long unplayed on: Don you
wahnd to see the dome room, an all
the other rooms right here. of this
old placer"
Again those words! We had moi
the hearts to disappoint her. And as
we followed on and on, along the
moldering corridors and rooms where
the black peeling papers hung like
stalactites, the dominance Of oul
senses gradually dropped from us, ant
with our souls we saw it's soul-tht
soul Of this old time place; this mus

Of all but ghosts, and the gray pigeons

KEPT WARM BY ELECTRICITY
Ingenious Device Employed for Ba
bies' Cribs In Presbyterian Hos
pital In New York.

In the Presbyterian hospital, New
York, there is an interesting instance
Of the application of electricity in the
nursery for the benefit of the incu
bator babies. Here, says the Edison
Monthly the problem is to provide
plenty of fresh air and at the same
time sufficient warmth for the babies,
and this has been solved by a simple
but effective form of crib warmer.
The sides Of the bassinet In which
the baby lies are covered with ashes
tos boards and beneath is an electric
heater or foot warmer, with cable
couplings and switch which allows the
current to be regulated. In a warm
air chamber between the bassinet and
the foot-warmer is a partition, so con.
structed with reference to the baby's
position in the crib that the heat is
reflected to the lower end of the bas'
sinet. The child's feet are thus kept
warm, while lower temperature is
maintained at the head.

LIVERPOOL, July 12-Ill practi-
cally penniless, dependent on the
charity of an humble Liverpool shop
keeper, Mrs. Charles Nelson Bell, wife
of the wealthy wine agent of New
York who married Adele Richie, the
musical comedy star, a few weeks
ago, to-day told a pitiful story of how
she had been left friendless in Eng
land to starve by her husband. She
further declared that he had never
obtained a divorce and asserted that
she would not rest until she had
raised enough money to return to the
United States and prosecute him for
the bigamy she declares he is guilty
OF.
Bell, the son of a banker Of Asbury
Park. and Adele Richie were married
quietly few weeks ago. At the time
of the nuptials Miss Richie an
nounced that she was marrying for
money and her husband knew it.
Mrs. Bell says she was served with
notice of divorce proceedings, but
they were withdrawn after she had
refused an offer of $3.50 to let the suit
go uncontested.
Such a proposal was a degrading
insult" said Mrs. Bell, who wept as
she told of her plight. Starvation
is agony, but I would rather starve
to death hundred times than to sell
my good name, my reputation.
Next I heard of my husbands
marriage to Adele Ritchie-to her, of
all women. l might have forgiven
his cruelty, but now I shall punish
him as he deserves, If there be JUS

the separation.
Time drifted on and he was al

the outcome far exceeded the most

CHICAGO, July 12.-Henry f. Kali
lenberg has just been appointed Of
fetal playmaster to the children of
River Forest, a suburb Besides
teaching them how to play, one of
the important duties of the position
will be to show young Americans
how to be good losers, which they are
not. he says.
The American baseball fan is a
bad loser because his education in
craftsmanship has been sadly neg
lected," the playmaster told members
of the village board of River Forest
His interest in baseball can be
traced back to the corner lot game,
where he spent 40 minutes of every
hour in arguing and 20 minutes play
ing ball"
