When traveling for the first time to Portugal one is apt to become exas perated when be desires to settle up with bls landlord at tbe hotel. When tbe traveler asks how much bis bill is tlie landlord bows graciously, smiles suavely, rubs bls hands together aud replies that tbe bill is as much as tbe guest wishes to contribute. This is simply the opening of a duel of politeuess. for tbe hardened traveler nt once tbnuls the landlord for bls con fidence In him aud again very courte ously asks for a detailed statemeut of bls account. Still the bill is uot forth coming. for tbe landlord declares that he does not wish to Insult bls guest in uny such manner. Finally tbe land lord does reckon up the charges on Ids fingers. When be has finished lie asks tlie traveler bow much tbe sum total Is. if the traveler hasn't kept track of It the landlord very laboriously goes over tbe account again. If tbe guest has footed up the bill the landlord ta sure that It cannot lie so much aud in slats ou a re-reckoning. Tbe result Is tbe same, aud tbe laudlord Invariably ne-<?» to bring two or three more fin gers into use for Items that bad been accidentally omitted. Needless to state, the traveler not hardened to this process breathes a deep sigh of relief when he "escapes.” —Boys’ World. DEADLY MINE GASES, DIET AND AGE.
