of PortuS Gale. AS centuries went
by, the village grew into a town
and at length into a city 1t became
SO important that it was able to
reach out and take the seaport city
of Portus Gale inside its limits.
The village which grew into a
big city was Oporto 1t is in North
ern Portugal, near the place where
the Douro River flows into the
Atlantic Ocean. It's population is
now about quarter of a million.
Sometimes its name is given as
Porto" instead of "Oporto."
Two large iron bridges span the
river and connect Oporto with the
suburb of PortuS Gale. One of
these bridges was finished in 1885.
and its great arch has a span Of
$50 feet.
Only one other city in Portugal
is larger than Oporto That is
Lisbon, the capital, with popula-
ton of well over $4,000.
Going about Lisbon, We may see
strange sights. A baker carries
large basket, slung from his shoul-
ders, and in the basket are loaves
Of bread. Often the load amounts
to from so to 100 pounds.
There also are women who carry
large trays of fish on their heads.
The fish are for sale.
E Portuguese women carry many
other things besides fish in that
manner. Sometimes a mother car
ries baby, or even two of them, in
basket on her head!
Lisbon's history goes back more
than 1000 years. In the time OF
the Romans, it was called "Olisipo."
Most of the city has been rebuilt
since the terrible earthquake OF

discovered the rich flavor of the
creamy meat and this almost created
en immediate market for the nut for
human consumption. When the
Amazon was opened to foreign COM
merce in 1866, the Brazil nut be-
came one of the chief exports.
Brazil nut trees grow almost ex-
clusively in the Amazon Valley. This
is thinly populated area of more
than million square miles The
temperature is uniform, the rainfall
from IS to IS inches annually.
Today there are two small planta-
tions under cultivation. But there
are hundreds of thousands of wild
trees bearing large crops each year.
The harvest this season will be
gathered from 100000 trees and will
be about $4,000 tons.
On account of the war the United
States is the chief market. With
one exception Of the cashew, the
Brazil nut is imported into our
country in larger quantities than
any other foreign nut.
The tree grows to a height of rs
to 100 feet, towering above its jungle
neighbors. The smooth trunk re-
sembles a fagpole. 1t has a crown
of dark green leaves and the
branches may have a diameter oi
100 feet. The clean grained gray
wood saws beautifully, but it is toe
valuable to be used for building
needs. The bark is used for the
manufacture of oakum, for caulking
and the natives wear a coarse cloth
made Of it.
The fruit resembles massive
woody-shelled capsule. The dark
brown husk is from to 6 inches ir
diameter. The natives call these
nusks ''ouricos" The husk, when
removed, reveals a hard woody poe
one-fourth of an inch thick, con-
tanning from II to 80 nuts. The
great drop from the tree skaters
the pod.
The tree propagates in from 80 tc
80 days by the small nuts within
the pod When it is II or IS years
old the first crop is matured
Castanheiros. or jungle harvesters

Around the edges of a large city,
little villages are likely to spring
up. Some persons who work In the
city want to live at distance from
factories, heavy street traffic and
so on.
Such villages may be called
suburbs" Of the city. In time they
may join the city, so the people
can have better public schools, or
for some other reason.
That is a common story, but have
you ever heard of a village grow
ing so fast that it took in city
as a suburb?
Portugal has a case of the kind.
A village was started across the
Douro River from the ancient city

How Powhattan County
Got Name From Indians

French and Indian is Virginia's
Powhattan county-French In its
early settlement and Indian in its
name. Neither name has anything
to do with that French and Indian
war in which George Washington
won those figurative spurs which led
to his choice as commander in chief
Of the Continental armies and to his
eventual title of Father Of His
Country.
The French settlers were Hugue.
not refugees from religious persecu-
ton, for whom special arrangements
In the New World were made by
their Britannia majesties william
and Mary in 1899, writes Elwood
Street in the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch. These early French settlers
are memorialized In place names
and still persisting family names
and in the romantic name given to
Virginia Route A, which runs across
the northern part Of the county, the
Huguenot Trail.
The Indian name was a product
Of the Revolution. The county was
organized by the general assembly
in It'll. Before the Revolution coun-
ties had largely been named after
British royalty, nobility or places!
The Revolution blotted out the de-
sire for such signs Of allegiance to
the mother country. Powhattan was
the chief Of the Powhattan Confed-
eracy and the Indian who made the
most powerful impression upon the
first jamestown colonists and their
historians.

Lengthens Ruffed Grouse Season

Conservation Commissioner Lith-
gov Osborne has announced a
heightened season on ruffed grouse
in 1912 as the result of two independ-
ent surveys which show the birds to
be more plentiful this year than last,
and perhaps more so than in any
recent year.
The ruffed grouse season in New
York was fixed by law for a uni
form four-week season over the
state until last winter, when the leg
islature authorized the conservation
department to fix the season direct
ing that it be adjusted as nearly as
practicable to the woodcock season
established by the federal govern
ment.
In accordance with this intent. the
new season Is fixed at 43 days In the
northern and central parts Of the
state and 81 days in the southern
zone, embracing Long Island. In
each case the opening date CORE
spends with the opening of the wood
cock season.

SaIvaging Leftover Paint

Small quantities of paints, var
nish, enamel and other liquid paint
products, can be thriftily reserved
in good condition for future use by
pouring them into a clean jar or
container in which there will be left
a minimum of air space, and then
tightly covering the container. The
same paint or varnish left in the
bottom Of a large container would be
likely to dry up or become too thick
or skinny for practical reclama-
ton. Paint which has particles of
skim" or other solid matter in it,
can be strained through an old silk
stocking or cheesecloth before be-
ing placed in no larger than neces-
sary container with a tight-ftting
cover.
