'WOMAN'S LIFE IN PORTUGAL WHAT SENILE DEBILITY IS

]8h« Does Most of the Farm Work and Waste of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and 8hares in Heavy Labor of the Cities.

A good part of the farm work rn Portugal is performed by the women, who see no reason why they should regard digging, hoeing arid plowing as the work of men alone. The man who owns a few acres of land will often leave its cultivation to his wife and daughters, while he labors as carpenter, stonemason or cooper, for cask-making is one of their important industries. He also likes to get a Job as a waiter in one of the numerous hotels at seaside resorts, for the country has thousands of continental and English visitors. Women share in the heavy work of Che cities as well. There are female porters, laborers on the docks, market tenders, and even women coal-heavers, fishermen, or rather flsherwomen, and sailors. They are as strong and hardy as their husbands and brothers and seem to stand long hours and hard labor as well.

Of course it rather takes away the glamour of romance when one sees a young woman with finely chiseled features and beautiful black eyes digging with spade and mattock or heaving a basket of coal into a ship's hold with as much ease as the American girl plays tennis and golf. They seem happy under what we would consider hard conditions, so the reformer would probably have his labor for his pains if he suggested a change in this department of Portuguese national existence.—The Christian Herald.

FEEDING NOT VERY SIMPLE

Cheerful Company at a Meal and En* ticing Food Are Decided Helps to Digestion.

Robust people, so long as they get

suits their own uncultivated

taste, are apt to make very light of what they call "fancies" about food, 'and overlook their real importance. Feeding on the part of civilized man ,1B not the simple procedure which It is with animals, although many animals are particular as to their food and what is called "dainty." The necessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the absence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nausea and even vomiting, is admitted.

Even the ceremonial features of the dinner table, the change of clothes, the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes, accompanied by pleasant talk and lighthearted companionship, are shown by strict scientific examination to be important aids to the healthy digestion of food, which need not be large in quantity, because wisely presented.— London Telegraph.

Not Plymouth Rocks.

Concerning the age of eggs, there li likely to be much dispute. Very often it seems as if the only trustworthy authority must be the hen herself. If al) raisers of chickens, however, were ai frank as a certain man, householders would have little of which to complain.

One Saturday one of his customer* aajced him if she might have a dozen eggs within the next two or three days. "Oh, yes, ma'am," replied John. "I'll bring you a dozen fresh ones tomorrow morning." "No," protested the housewife, "1 should not want you to bring them on Sunday—not on Sunday, John." "Well," replied John, "all right, ma'am, if you say so, but it doesn't make any difference to the hens."— Tit-Bits.

Pattl's First Appearance In London. I was at the opera the first night that Patti made her appearance, and the wild enthusiasm of the house over the new diva was indescribable. Her extraordinary youth and beauty, the marvelous quality of her voice, the facility and ease with which she sang, and the complete grasp she showed of her part made an impression which time has not obliterated. She had come with a certain reputation, and the audience waited patiently as she made her appearance. After her wonderful rendering of the duet scene there could be no doubt that Patti was enthroned forever in the position she has held all through her life. Lady St. Helier, "Memories of Fifty Years."

Egg Soup.

Egg soup is most nourishing, and those who do not care to eat eggs cooked in any of the usual ways may benefit by having them in soup: Three eggs, three pints of stock, one tablespoonful of flour, pepper and salt.

Mix the flour to a smooth paste add it to the stock, leaving it to boil for a quarter of an hour. Beat up the eggs and mix them gradually with a little stook, then add them to the soup, stirring carefully for a-few minutes, but taking care that the soup does not boil, as this would curdle it. Serve with little sippets of fried bread.

Wants Longer Nights.

"Have you Joined the More Daylight club?" he asked. "I should say not. It's all I can do now to get home before daylight,", replied the old rounder.—Detroit Free Press.

NeiVe Tissue Consequent on Impaired Metabolism.

I. L. Nascher, New York, says that senile debility cannot be prevented, but its effects can be relieved, the, mental attitude improved and a semblance of vigor restored. The cause is waste of muscle, cartilage, bone jand nerve tissue, consequent on impaired metabolism. That which improves the mental condition and inp creases hope will improve the debit lty. When ambition and Interest in work are lost erectness and initio jtlve are also lost. Ageing is In great part due to mental influences. Mental stimulation through physical influ* ences is the natural method of overcoming mental depression. Phoajphorus and arsenio are useful drugs [for this purpose. Hyglenio and dietetlc measures to lessen waste are useful. Food should be nutritious and such as require little digestive effort. 'Stiffness of the joints is due to hard* 'ening of the ligaments and moist heat I followed by massage is of temporary 'benefit. The use of a cane for supjport in walking, and a comfortable I [armed rocking chair to support the jarms, helps to acquire a better posijtion. True senile dementia due to senile changes in the brain is a pro gresslve enfeeblement Marked imjProvement follows small doses of morjphine. This is only temporary and a jhabit may be formed.—Medical Record.

FINED THEM FOR NOT VOTING

Austria Made 60,000 Men Pay for Staying Away From Polls at Last General Election.

In some countries voting is compulsory, and eleotors are fined if they do I not do their duty as citizens and avail I themselves of the franchise.

According to the universal suffrage law of Austria all those on the register must record their votes, and at the last general election In that country 60,000 electors were fined sums from two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll.

Spain is another country that looks on voting as a national duty, at least In the municipal election. .Should a citizen omit to cast his ballot hit name Is published as a defaulter, hla taxes are Increased by two per cent., while If he be in the public service, his salary Is reduced by one per cent. Should he commit the fault a second time he is debarred forever from hold' ilng an elective position or an appoint* ment under government.

A few years ago a bill to the same effect was brought before the parliament of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $2.50 unless they -showed .they were ill at the time, were blind, over sixty-five years of age, or were unavoidably absent.

A similar idea was mooted in Canada, the penalty being disfranchisement for six years.—Stray Stories.

8ure, He Did the Right Thing! "I hope It will be a long time before I have such another test applied to my honesty," a down-town merchant remarked as he returned from waiting on a customer, relates the St. jPaul Dispatch. "What was the itrouble?" asked his partner. "These (near-wool suits. An old fellow came in Just now and asked me the price of one. 'Seven dollars,' I told him. 'Speak louder!' he said, holding his hand behind hia ear. So I yelled, "Seven dollars!' 'Eleven dollars! Too much! I'll give you nine!' he replied." His partner looked at the speaker In ularm. 'Y'ou—er—ol course, did the right thing?" "I guess you can depend on me to do the right thing," was the haughty retort. Then he paused. "You'd better get some dollar bills when you go to the bank," he remarked. "I Just gave an old fel» low our last one for change."

His First Day In School. It was a country school. A small, bright-faced boy had Just been enrolled, and this was his first day. The teacher pointed out a desk for him, and gave him a lesson to study. He .took his seat, propped his knees up .against the desk, with his feet swings

Ing down underneath, and soon b» [came absorbed In his lesson. He bocame so absorbed, in fact, that he forgot he was in school, and presently he puckered up his lips and whistled^ first softly and then quite shrilly. The teacher laid down his pen in amaze'ment, and cried sharply: "Who is that 'whistling?" The small boy looked up quickly, and then said. Innocently: "That was me. Didn't you know I could whistle?"

Army and Navy Inventors. There are numerous examples of officers of the army and navy inventing machinery and devices which are Used by the service without any compensation from the government. Qeoorally speaking, they are guided by the code of honor that as they were educated at the expense of the government and enlisted in Its service it has the rif?ht to the use of their inr ventlons without payment of royalty or other money. There have been many who have not considered themselves so bound, and have claimed 'compensation for use of their Invest tlons.—The Bookman.

Another Phase of the Problem. "Doubtless the servant girl problell to very annoying to you." "Very," responded the housewife. fcave a really desperate time gettlnf
