Courtesy Travelogue Bureau.

YN THESE years Of war when Eu
rope is closed to the tourist, thou
sands of American travellers are
turning to the Orient, and most Of
those who reach the coast Of Asia get
glimpse at least of the Oldest foreign
colony in China. This is the Portu-
guese colony of Macao, at the western
entrance of the Canton river and only
40 miles from Hongkong, the great
British base.
Macao Is perched on a peninsula
which is itself part Of the island of
Hiangshan, separated from the main
land by a narrow arm of water. 1t
was occupied by the Portuguese in
1867 and has been held ever since by
that once great maritime nation. For
nearly three hundred years the Portu-
guese paid ground rent to China for
the colony, and in 1887 the sovereignty
of Portugal was recognized by China.
But the extent of the territory has
never been settled, for China has al
ways disputed the right of the Portu-
guese to the islands Of Taipa and Kolo-
wan and to the coastal waters. Com
missioners were named in 1909 for the
delimination Of the boundaries, but
they could not reach an agreement.
The city of Macao is interesting in
various ways and, despite its age,
much of it is well built and not un-
handsome. Along its curving water
front, known. as the Praya Grande, is
o long row of fine residences and other
buildings. Among the most imposing
of these is the three-story house of All
Fong, the Chinese millionaire, who
lived in Honolulu for so many years
and, after marrying his beautiful

posed the latter part of his great epic,
and in the same recess now stands
bust of the poet who did so much for
the literature and language of his
country.
Its Gambling Houses.
If you say Macao to the ordinary
globe trotter or the sailor whose voy-
means chiefly a place where he can
gamble, for the city is one of the few
places where the goddess of chance
may still be wooed with the sanction of
the law. Gambling licenses and opium
supply the greater part Of the colony's
revenues, and such q sign as "First-
Glass Gambling House" is frequent on
the main street. Naturally, one re-
suit of this is that Macao swarms
with 1awless characters from all parts
of the world and deeds of violence are
rather frequent.
The gambling dens are conducted by
Cinnamon, and fan-tan is the game
usually played. 1t is apparently the
simplest Of all games, and one at
which it should be impossible to cheat
A sheet is spread on a table or on the
floor, and the banker sits with a bowl
full Of copper coins in front of him
These he counts out by fours, and the
gamblers stake their money on there
being three, two, one or none remain
ing at the end in the bowl. China
men with practised eye can tel
while there are still great heap Of
the coins in the bowl how this fnal
counting will result, and the banker
has probably keener eye than any Of
the Chinese gamblers, and has seer
before them what the count will be.

San PauIo and camoens' Grotto.
In the most ancient part of the city
are the ruins Of San Paulo church.
This was the collegiate church of the
Jesuits and dates from the sixteenth
century. In 1885 it was destroyed by
fire, but its great front wall still
stands. There is also an old castle
that is worth seeing, and several Por-
tuguese forts that are garrisoned in
ordinary times by 800 soldiers, and
visitors of O commercial bent will wish
to inspect the cotton, canning and oil
factories and the brick and cement
works that, aside from fishing, COM
prise the chief industries Of the place.

What Is Uric oActd !?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, iumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only q
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is more powerful agent thar
ithia in dissolving uric acid, and it j:
then carried out of the system.

REMARKABLE CLIMBING ROSES

If anyone who had not seen them, un-
dertook to tell the story of the rose
beauties of Portland, Ore, the average
man would never believe the stories as
they are unfolded in print. Bnt the
stories do not do full justice to the
wonderful rose belt Of the Pacific coast.
The picture shows q climbing Caroline
Testout, which had reached magnifl-
cent proportions. There are millions
of these roses along the coast and a
little comparative study of the size
of the tree and that of the house will
serve to give an idea of the glorious
production. What do you suppose an
eastern millionaire would give to have
such an ornament at his door?
There are hundreds OF men in the
East that would not let price be a con.
sideration. But then the coast has the
consolation of knowing that it has
many things that, even money cannot
buy. One of them is the rose climate
and soil.
