A curious anomaly Is to be found among the peasants of Portugal who are classified as among the most Illit erate of Western Rurope, yet, are among the most intelligent. Many of the farmers ? three-fifths of the popu lation Is devoted to agricultural pur suits?have a rcmarkabltMftlft for ver sification, and many of the poems of the country are handed down fror generation to generation without being recorded. The in'asanta also are noted for their sobriety, and yet the annual production of wine exceeds 25 gallons for each Inhabitant. So great, In fact, is the product of the vineyards that In the cities the various qualities of wa ter are discussed with keener Interest than the grades of wine. While Portugal's maritime glory Is a thing of the past, a large number of Portuguese still follow the sea for a livelihood.

The harbor of Lisbon, where the seiz ure of the (lerman merchant shl|?j pre elpltated Portugal. Into the war, Is one of thO most beautiful In all Kurope. tanking scarcely second to Naples and Constantinople. The city Is about the sly.e of Pittsburgh, and has been the political center of the nation since It was w rested from the Moors in the middle of the 12tli century by Alfonso Ilenrlques, the founder of the king dom. It wiis the Kngllsh who aided Afl'onHo in l?Ls war against the Moors, and the following century the two countries effected an alliance which lias existed unbroken (luring the succeed ing several hundred years, save for such sftoradie interruptions as when Naj>olean forced the little klngdojn to d?<clare war against the Island empire, The Portuguese, especially those of Lisbon, are a pleasure-loving people. They are fond of sports of many sorts, Including the hull-fight, but the torea dor Is not the Idol In this country that he is In Spain, nor are the contests as fierce. Horses are seldom If ever sacri ficed In the Portuguese troeaderos. Lisbon Is an even greater "night city" than Paris, the streets appearing at their busiest usually at 3 a. m. The principal thoroughfares are admirably kept nowadays but as late as 1835 a "clean up" campaigner was in a woeful minority when he began to urge the authorities to put a stop to such prac tices as breaking horses in the streets, and singeing pigs in the main avenues of trade. lie also protested against keeping pigs alive In the streets "or tied to the doors." while he thought It advisable to put an end to the custom of allowing dead animals to lie for In definite periods in the streets. Thori> are about 100 journals publish ed In Portugal, the majority of these -'?eliiK of a political nature, and mi?>y of them are owned by the leaders of the various parties. It has been said that "if Lisbon turns Turk tomorrow all Port\igal will wear the turban," so when the monar chy was overthrown In 1010. after 100 oersons had been killed and 500 wound ed in the capital. King Manuel taking refuge In England, It was a matter of course that the rest of the nation would quietly asqulesee In the new order of things. Portugal today was much the same outward form of government as our own. Each parliament Is supposed to last three years, senators are elected for six years. and presidents for four years. The head of the government re ceives $20,000 a year. Money, however, Is reckoned chiefly in rels, and, there fore, even a day laborer's wn?? *s sweet to tne ear, for It ta'ies 20 rels to make a penny. Portugal's transcendent contribution to world history was the colonization of Brarll, the largest nation In South America ami tlie third largest In the Western hemisphere. While Brazil was discovered by Columbus' companion, Plnzon and formal possession taken by him In the name of Spain, Cabral land ed In 1500, a year later, and proclaimed It Portuguese territory. Portugal set tled the country and ruled It until 1822 when, under the leadership of the Port uguese prince, Dooi Pedro, independ ence from the mother country was de clared.
