HOTELS IN-PORTUGAL
Paying One’s Bill There Becomes a
Duel In Politeness.
When trav’eliiig for the first time in
Portugal cue is apt to become exas
perated when be desires to settle up
with bis landlord at the hotel. When
the traveler asks bow much his bill is
the landlord bows graciously, smiles
suavely, rubs his hands together and
replies that the bill is as much as the
guest wislies to contribute.
This is simply the opening of a duel
of politeness, for the hardened traveler
at once thanks the landlord f6r his con
fidence in him and again very courte
ously asks for a detailed statement of
his account. Still the bill is not forth
coming, for the landlord declares that
he does not wish to insult his guest in
any such manner. Finally the land
lord does reckon up the charges on his
fiugei's. When he has finished he asks
the traveler how much the sum total
is. If the traveler hasn’t kept track of
it the landlord very laboriously goes
over the account again. If the guest
has footed up the bill the landlord is
sure that it cannot be so much and in
sists on a re-reckoning. The result is
the same, and the landlord invariably
needs to bring two or three more fin
gers Into use for items that had been
accidentally omitted.
Needless to state, the traveler not
hardened to this process breathes a
deep sigh of relief when he “escapes.”

Proper Eating Would Insure Better
Health and Longer Life.
Medical experts, insurance men, edu
cators and teachers of the science of
health and happiness generally are in
favor of simpler living and a return to
nature. The mortality of adult age—
of the period between forty and sixty—
is increasing, but it is not due to the
stress of modern life, to worry and
overwork, as some have supposed. It
is due, we are assured, to overeating
and bad diets. There is every reason
why we should live longer and be
healthier, for comforts are increasing
and inventions are lessening toil and
anxiety. But our very prosperity’’ has
led to richer and ampler diets, and
there is where the mischief lies—there,
and in our indoor life. We shun na
ture; we shut out light and air; we
walk little and seldom oat or rest in
the open air, in gardens, fields or on
porches.
This is all wrong, and the wages of
this wrong are ill health, depression,
gloom, the shortening of the natural
span of life. Habits of outdoor life
should be formed eai’ly—at school. As
much teaching as possible should be
done iu the open air—and as much
playing likewise. After graduation
boys and girls should continue to cul
tivate the outdoor life and families
should continue the practice.—Chicago

Telephone Lies.
At Ouu Hundred and First street autl
Croadway a man was talking into a
telephone. Presently he was heard to
say: “All right, I’ll come. I am now
at Twenty-third street and Broadway.
I’ll be up in about half an hour.”
“That chap seems to have lost his
bearings,” said a man who had over
heard the error in locality.
“lie knows where he is all right,”
said a drug clerk. “He’s just putting
up a bluff. It is quite a common bluff,
^len who have a mighty high regard
for truth at all other times do not hesi
tate to tell a 'Whopper about where
they are when: talking over the tele
phone. I have heard persons swear
over that wire that they were tele
phoning from points all the way from
Hoboken to Amityville. They were
not seasoned liars, either; just wanted
a few minutes’ grace apparently and
thought the easiest way to get ix was
to make out they w^ere a mile or two
farther away than they really were.”—

The Cost of Automobiling,
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)
We now have some basis for figur
ing out the annual national automo
bile bill. The statistics gathered by
the State of New York show that more
chan 780,000 automobiles were registered
in the State and Territorial capitals on
Mav 1st. There are some machines
which are not registered, raising the
total certainly over 800,000. The United
btates census shows? that the average
cost of the 127,289 cars manufactured
in 1909 was a fraction over $1,500.
This applied to the figures just stated.

FIGHTING LIFE’S BATTLE.
Of Things That Must Be Done Tackle
the Hardest First.
I know a very successful man who
early in life resolved that no matter
how hard anything might be or how
seemingly impossible for him to do he
would do it If the doing would prove
of value to him, says Orison Swett
Marden in Success Magazine. He
made this the test and would never
allow his moods or feelings to stand
in the way of his judgment. lie
forced himself in the habit of prompt
ly doing everything, no matter how
disagreeable. If it would further his
advancement.
People who consult their moods,
their preferences or their ease never
make a great success in life. It is the
roan who gets a firm grip on himself
and forces himself to do the thing that
will ultimately be best for him who
succeeds. The man who goes through
life picking .out the flowers and avoid
ing the thorns in his occupation, al
ways doing the easy thing first and
delaying or putting off altogether if
possible the liard. thing, does not de
velop the strength that would enable
him to do hard things when necessity
forces them upon him.
It is pitiable to see young men and
women remaining far below the place
where their ability ought to have car
ried them jnst because they dislike to
do disagreeable things until compelled
to. The best way always, is to tackle
the hardest things first.

of $1,600,000,000 invested.
These figures, it must be understood,
only cover the cost of the bare machine.
Wind sheilds, horns, extra tiras patent
Ian ps and other things are classified
as extras. Behind it all is upkeep, a
short word covering a multitude of
costs. Interesting figures were given
out in New York the other day which
places the value of the automobiles
manufactured at $300,000,000, and the
extras and costs of operation and
repairs at another $>00,000,000. The
investment, including extras, probably
is not far from $2,000,000,000, and we
are putting in at least $500,000,000
operation charges annually.
The Lonoon Times and the Phila-
delybia Record have lately been talk
ing about the cost of operating au
tomobiles. The times thinks that the
cost of operating a high-class car m
England-inclu^ing the capital invested
figures out about 12 cents the mile.
The record outs it at 17 cents the mile
in this country. Both accept the
general basis that “a day after the
machine is put in service it becomes a
second-hand machine, and that its life
is about three years.”

Custom In Spain.
One thing specially is vital in Spain;
“Costumbre,” they say (“It is the cus
tom”). It explains commercial honor
tersely for the Spanisti' business man }
to keep his word and pay his bills; ex* j
actly as it is equally customary for j
him to lack what we call “honor” in
some other departments of life. It Is
customary to do or not to do, to like
or not to like, a thousand things. Why?
“Custombre” is the only reply. It is
custofnary, moreover, not to yield read
ily to an improvement or a luxury,
even as it is again equally customary,
once the Spaniard has yielded to a
given thing, to hold to It like adamant

Too Public For Him.
He was a miUl mannered little man,
short, with gray hair and spectacles.
It was noon on "i\'ash]ni^ton street,
and, as usual, the croAvds were shov
ing and pushing to get somewhere.
The little man was trying to worm his
way through the crowds.
A well dresseil woman, accompanied
by a small boy, was mixed up in the
crowd. She wanted to cross the street
The boy stopped to look in a window.
The lady reached down and grasped
a hand, saying, “Take my hand, dear.”
“Not right here on the public street”
she was startled to hear some one re-
ply.
Looking down, she saw that she was
clasping the hand of the very inoffen
sive little man, who seemed to be
much confused and embarrassed.
“Sir,” she said haughtily, “I don’t
want you. I want my son.”—Boston
Traveler.
This Sigh For Leisure.
Lives there the man who has not
sighed for leisure? And lives there
the man, who, in his more sober mo
ments, has not been honestly glad
that he must work? Human nature,
which sweetens under toil, sours in
leisure. And it is by no means sure
that the fall from innocence which
first brought work into the world
“and all our woe” was not bringing
salvation disguised as labor. Faith
fulness will dignify and beautify even
drudgery; no matter what the work is,
provided that it is honest, if it is done
well, it commands our instinctive
respect. Besides, if we did not all

His Preference.
“You can get an armful of daisies
for a dime,” pointed out the optimist
“and just look at their bright, merry
little faces!”
“What do I want with an armful of
daisies?” growled the pessimist. “I’d
rather have a cheese sandwich.”—New
York Journal.
A Snake Tale.
A man took his small son to the
park. They fed bread to the swans
and then stood for a long time in front
of a cage of serpents. The boy looked
at them with fascinated eyes. At last
he exclaimed, “I like these tails all
right, but where are the animals?”—

The New and Old Geology.
In its early history geology present
ed two schools—one insisting on a doc
trine of “catastrophes,” the Other on
a doctrine of “uniformity.” The for
mer regarded the changes which have
manifestly taken place in our planet
as having occurred at epochs abruptly,
while the other school, reposing on
the great principle of the invariability
of the laws of nature, insisted that af
fairs had always gone on in the same
way as they do now\ It is hardly
necessary to say that the latter theory
has driven the old theory of catastro
phe completely from the field.—New
