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 Portuguese sardines,
however, are preserved In Italian olive

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

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.
