A Glimpse of Lisbon.


Lisbon leaves the definite impression
Of a gay, bright capital. if not Of a
truly beautiful city. Beautiful it GER
tainly Is by nature. seated on its lofty
hills overlooking the Tagus and inter-
spersed everywhere with semitropic
gardens and largos, but its newer
houses are too rectangular, too lack
ing in imagination, to make anything
but rather monOtonouS streets. Even
the Praca do Commerce., though laid
out upon a truly magnificent scale.
fails to arouse enthusiasm.
This is the citys aspect to the casual
visitor who devotes but day or two to
its sights. But to one who is willing to
give it a week or more it holds many
attractions.
The seeker for the picturesque will
delight in the water front in the morn
ing hours and in the fisher folk-the
men in black bag caps and knee
breeches; the women barefoot, setting
out with basket on head to trot the
city streets. These 'fishwives are the
most picturesque Of the Lisbon types,
and most of them are really beautiful
the fine OvalS of their faces, their
smooth compilations and lustrous, al
mond shaped eyes recalling the Maui
resques and clearly bespeaking their
oriental origin. Ernest Peixotto in

TO MARATHON COUNTY TAX
PAYERS.

In 1914, the county board of Mara
tn county passed resolution by un-
animous vote, asking the Legislature
to repeal the state highway law, and
several other county boards have
done the same because it was bur-
den of high taxes to every town, city
or village, but instead of repeating
the system it was amended, making
it a good deal worse. 1t seems almost
impossible to repeal such a law. 1t
would throw too many officers out Of
work, who now earn the easy dollar
from the poor tax payers. The Iegis-
Iature tells US, that the state highway
fund is reduced from 81, 200, 900 down
to sIS5. 900. What about the state, if
our county is raised so much higher ?
We have thirty-nine towns in Mara
thon county beside fourteen villages;

Judged by Appearances.


In Twenty Years of My Life" Doug
las Sladen recalls a story told at the
Authors club long ago by Sir J. NJ.
Barrie against himself and in broad
Doric:
II expect it was just ben trOvato,
but it was none the less amusing. He
apologized for being late. He had
been to the wrong club. He had never
been to the Authors club before, he
said Though he was member OF the
committee), so he asked a policeman
the way. From the way in which be
pronounced the word the policeman
thought he. meant Art9nlr's, which was
quite near. the Authors club when II
was in it's temporary premises in Park
place. When he got there he found 1t
a very grand place, he said. The club
porter looked him up and down and
said, The servants entrance is round
the corner"

nearly every town the right to raise
$4,000 within its territory and the
county must come up with the same
amount; now if every town would
raise 81 900 it would amount to
S78,000 The county highway COM

more expense for the county. The

set at 5000 per year, unless different
maximum is fixed by the county board,
that would bring up the taxes Of
Marathon county to S98, 900 just on
this foolish road law. Mr.. Tax Payer,
that is going some. From 1911 until
1916, it will increase our county tax
about 80 per cent on roads, it will
take S65, 900 annually for the support
Of the state highway commission, the
state will pay for road and bridge aid
thirty-three and one third per cent
and the county must "poney up"
sixty-six and two-thirds per cent.
Cities of the fourth class, having a
population of 5000 or less is discon-
tinued. / think the state and county
must provide for larger poor house,
because the high taxes will drive
some poor people there. We hope in
1916 we will get a legislature that
will repeal that state aid road law. 1

The Entrance Hall,

In planning for the entrance hall ar
range for plenty of light. Have at
least one window Of ample size. Do
not depend upon the light admitted
through a small pane Of glass placed
in the top Of an ugly so called mis-
sion" door. The entrance hall may
be made a very important factor in
carrying out the general character of
the home, and it needs the light equal
ly with any other room in the house.
Another mistake often made is in de-
priving the entrance of heat. Certain
ly the impression conveyed by cold
entrance hall in winter is not a pleas
ing one and does not suggest the spirit
of rest that We have laid so much
stress upon. Not only this, but in win
ter weather cold drafts of air are GER
tain to enter the room through the
opening of doors and through the cracks
around the door. 1t will mean much
to the comfort of the living rooms if
this air has the chill removed from it
before entering the general circulation.
Good Health.

HALLOWEEN

Next Sunday, October 81, is Hal
lowe'en. This is the time that the
spirits walk, the black cat rides
moonward on a broom-stick to the
weird music of his yowls, and witches,
gnomes and hobgoblins appear before
fearsome mortals. Ghost stories are
told in this season and an expert in
the telling, it is said, that the rustic
of ghostly garments and clanking of
chains can be heard and also the white
outlined forms of the 'haunts" can
be seen. The small boy gets busy at
this time playing jokes such as "tick
lacking windows, ringing door bells,
soaping windows, etc. For the grown
ups there are other things in store.
Fortunes are told and shadows on
this day indicate all manner of events
that will befall in the future, &C
cording to the Halloween SeerS of the
mystic symbols of the witches.
Halloween parties are being given
during this season. The iack-o-lan-
tern is the mystic smybol of Hal
lowe'en. Pumpkins are also used
with the meaty parts scooped out and
candles inserted. The papier mache
pumpkin jack-o-lanterns can now be
gotten and are more artistic. Other
symbols in keeping with this time
of the year are black cats. witches,
skeletons, gnomes, COLLINS, etc.
Orange and black colors are used to
harmonic with these symbols in the
decorations. Several Halloween par
ties were given the past week and
plans for Others are now under way.

Reckless Eating.

Dietitians commenting on modern
recklessness in eating quote the re-
mark of Seneca, the Roman philosO-
pher, Man does not die; he kills him
self" Originally made to live 1000
years, man has fallen to an average of
only one-third of a century. 1t has
taken 5000 years, the authorities tell
US, to develop a race that will live, by
hook or by crook. as long as thirty
three years, which is given as the pres
ent day average. The blame is placed
upon our disregard of plain honesty in
living. We Scorn everything natural
and surrender to artificial gratifica-
tons and indulgence that tend to ruin
the natural health of the body. Our
discretion cannot be trusted to do the
common sense obvious thing. 1t is
pointed out that animals live longer
on natural food than on mans mix
ture. A sick horse turned out to pas
ture will get well, and if fed on bran,
oats and other food prescribed by man
he dies.-Exchange

the sheepskin the imitation, are used
