rho;,e in Pcrtugal Cut Up Into Very
Small Portions.
The Portuguese are an extremely con-
aervative people. .:very man follows
rigidly the methods employed by his
father and forefatbees. In very many'
parts of the country the old wooden
plows are used.
When a man dies instead of one of
the heirs taking the whole property and
paying the remaining heirs for their
parts the whole property is divided into
se marry parts as there are heirs. More
than this, each separate part of the
property is thus divided.
Thus is a property consisted of ten
acres of pasture land, eighty of vineyard
and ten of grain land, and there were
ten heirs, each heir would receive one
acre each of glean and pasture land and
eight acres of vineyard: This process
has been going on for a very long time,
so that now in the most fertile part of
Portugal the land is divided into incred-
ibly smell portions.
The immediate result of this, accord-
ing to the United States Consular Re -
parts, is that the produet of the land is
basely sufficient at best to sustain its
owners, South of the River Tagus, on
the other hand, there are enormous
tracts of excellent land lying unused,
but it has been found impossible to in-
duce,the farmers of the north to move
into this region and take up large hold-
ings.

Time and a Single Box Made
Him a Well Man.
South Ingonish, Cape Breton, June 7.
-(Special)-How easily and quickly
Dodd's Kidney Pills banish Rheumatism
and other symptoms of Kidney Disease
is well known in the case of Michael O.
Williams, a fisherman living in this
place.
"My kidney disease started from a
strain," Mr. William- says,
o"and 1. suf-
fered from it for aout three months.
I had backache, stiffness in the joints
and Rheumatism. When I got up in the
morning I'had a bad taste in my mouth.;
I perspired freely with the least exer-
tion, and I was always tired and ner-
vous.
"One box of Dodd's Sidney Pills cured
me and I believe they will cure others
?vim are suffering from Kidney Disease."

:;onis mentioned. by Mr. Williams you

your kidneys are sick, and the other
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved in
thousands of eases all over Canada that

BOW TO KNOW THEM.
(Toronto Globe.)
State Senator Ettleson, of Illinois, has
introduced a bill to confer a titles ou
bachelors whereby they can readily be
distinguished from married men. A
spinster is distinguished from a married
woman, the prefix Miss proci.anns her
happy condition. But whe na man is in-
troduced to her the Mister is no clue
to his marital or nonntarital state. The
Senator's interest in the matter has
been aroused by complaints of ladies
who deelare that married men under
cover of their indistinguishing prefix
pose as single men.

Prayer For Landlords.

"The earth is thine (0 Lord) and all

heartily pray Thee to send Thy Holy

Christ, our Lord. Amen."
Mr. Asquith, in reply, said his hon.
friend had, he thought, done a public
service by reviving the recollection of
this remarkable prayer, but he did not
think any advantage would be gained by
his laking the steps suggested.
The matter then dropped.

BIBLE IN THE StIHOOLS.
(Woodstock Sentinel-Revieaw.)
The Presbyterian Synod of Hamilton
and London passrd a resolution the oth-
er day in favor of petitioning the Legis-
lature to enact such laws as shall place
the English Bible as a text' book on the
curriculum of the public schools of the
Province. One dififculty in the way of
making the Bible a text book in' the
public schools is the want of agreement
•among the various Christian bodies in
regard to the Bible. When men who
are specially trained for Bible teaching
provoke such rows as have but recently
disturbed the peace of many people in
this country, by expressing their hon-
est opinions, what might be expected
from the efforts of men and women who
have no special training?

The "bull" speculator may say that the
price would have been adjusted to the

more for flour and for bread would have
had to come. Perhaps so, but the
gradual and normal adjnetment would
have been more equitable and. less pain-
ful: Tile gains and losses would have
been gradually and widely diffused and
gone to those to whom they fairly be-
longed. When the powerful and un-
scrupulous speculator . intervenes to
hasten and manipulate the process by
the control of money and credit and the
machinery of the market, he is ,grabbing
what belongs to others and aggravating
such losses as might have been inevitable
in attenuated form. His way of makin
money is not honorable and ought not
to be reputable, and it would be mor

An Instantaneous Cure.
During the cattle plague of 1886 a
farmer who had lost a number of his
cows grew so depressed that he fully
persuaded himself he had also contracted
the disease. The medical man whom he
consulted tried in vain to laugh him out
of his fears, but subsequently, being
fond of a joke, pretended to agree with
the patient's views, and solemnly tol
him if he would attend to his instruc-
tions he would be cured. He then gave
the farmer a prescription, which he
directed should be taken to a neighbor
ing druggist, but when the' latter open
the envelope and read the contents h
was as much started as the farmer. Fo
the prescription was as follows: "Thi
man has the dattle plague. Take bi
into the back yard and shoot him, me
cording to act of Parliament" Needle
o say, the cure was instantaneous.
