Wo who see Poitugal In the peiiod

cannot untlet stand how so small a na
tion, occupying so Insignlllcnnt a por
tion of Europe "only a vei.inda," ns
ono of her w titers has said, should cut
so Impoitunt a figure In the world's
hlstoiy us she did in tho ilfteenth and

Eiuly in the eleventh centuiy Prince
Henry, "the navigator," of Portugal,
obtained fiom Pope Eugenis IV a bull
which gave to Portugal nil dlscoveiles
between Cape Hun, In Motocco, and
India In 1172 St. Thomas, Annobon
and Prince's Islands wero added. When
tho equator vvus passed and Fernando
Po gave his name to an Island In the
Right of Blefra, he seized COO leagues
of the Afilcnn coast and the king of
Poitugal took the title of "Lord of
Guinea."
Very eutly in the days of discovery
and conquest, toward tho end of the
ilfteenth century, tho most Catholic
sovereigns of Spain, reidlnund and Is
abella, nnd his equally Catholic majes
ty, John II. of Poitugal. fell out about
the owneishlp of the land jet to be

Like faithful thlldten of the chinch,

to be ch awn from pole to pole, 100 de
gress west of tile Azoich, 01 the Cape
de Verde Islnncln, nil west of this line
vvns to belong to Spain, and all east
of it to Poitugal. King John was
not satisfied, and the tienty of the
Totdeelli.iH was made In I4i)l, giving
to I'ciiiugnl all lands east of an lmag
lnuij line diacvn .ICO leagues fiom the

rerdnando de .Mngnlhnes, or. as we
wilte it, I'Viillmnd Magellan, nnd Ruy
Falelio. both Poituguese subjects, who
hail tllffeienct'S with their king on ac
count of Boiue pet Iv pensions, offeicd
their sei vices to Spain. Hoth had
seivetl two jeaiH with Albuqlieique
and knew all about the Portuguese pos
hesulons In the east.
Magellan tcpiocntcd to Chat let V,
who then ruled oei Spain, that he
was Mire the world was lound, a theory
then credited b few. He deckiied
his ability to llnd a shorter passage
to the east than any known to the
Portuguese nnd would ptove that Mol
uccas, rlih splee islands, weie within
Spanish tenitoiv, Ch.ules V had a.
small lleet fitted out and sent Magel
lan with his companion in chaige, well
equipped foi thoae tlavs. He went
south against the expiess stipulations
of the tieaty and dismvcicd the straits
w lilch bear his name. Ills lleet crossed
the boaul southern ocean, passed the
h.ich ones and the then unknown Phil
ippines, Inspected the Moluccas, and
letiiined by way of Cape of Good Hope
Magellan lost his life, aril out of the
five essels which compiled his fleet
onlv one letiiined, under the com
mand of Sebastian tlel C.u.o, who
bi ought Magellan's wiittin leport of
the expedition md a map of tho loute,
showing that all of the splee islands
and tlie whole of the Indian ocean
wcie within the ISO tlegtces belonging
to Spain undei thu treaty of Toidesel
has. In the map Magellan had delib
erately out forty tlegiees of longitude
and In ought the whole unhipeligj
within Spain's hilf of the woild. He
concealt d the fact that the number of
miles In .1 degiee of longitude decicnses
toward the pole.
Poitugal piolested and declaicd w ir,
which continued two vcars, when the
celeluated "conglcss of notabilities'
was held in a small fiontier town to
discuss the matter and discover the
ie.il facts. Portugal was at a nrinlfe-.t
disadvantage. Magellan was the Hist
mil "lib man who had sailed mound
the v.oild, nnd his map of the south
em seas was the only document ex
tant. Spain lefusetl to give up her al
leged lights, and Portugal held on to
the Islands. Tho matter was finally
compiomlscd bv an Indemnity of 350,000
ciuzados of the gold of Molucca, which
Portugal paid to Spain for the supposed
K'j degrees of Spanish -o,i whlih she
held. A new line was drawn fiom
pole to pole, starting from the La
dtones. This division gave to Portu
gal all west and south of the line,
which was supposed to be 1M1 degrees
from tho othei line drawn, .1C0 leagues
west tif Capo do Veide. This treaty
was approved by Pope Julian II In the
bull Hn quoe pro bono pads, and the
matter was settled.
Years afterward a Spanish expedition
dlseovoied the Philippines, so named
after Philip "1, who was then King of
Spain. These Islands, though many
degrees within Portugal's line, were
taken possession of by Spiln Poitu
gal piotested, and would undoubtedly
have obtained possession of them had
it not been for the tllsnster to tne Por
tuguese aims in Afrlc i, which tluow
Portugal into the hands of Spain,
where who remained for sixty jc.irs
This peiiod Is known In Portuguese his
tory as the "sixty years ot captivity."
"When Portugal finally regained her
Independence she was ninth weakened,
and was moie Interested in settling the
boundailes north and south of her
valuable South Ametlcnn colonies; Hi
the Philippines lemnlned with Spain

Had Portugal letiiined them It Is moro

of her enstein possession-, would have
fallen Into tho hands of the English,
and their whole history would have
be-n changed.
OLD BOOKS ARE BEST.
Old books nro bout! With what delight
Dots 'i'althorno ftclt" greet our slpht
On frontUpIoco or tlllo pago
Ot tint old time when on the stage
"Sweet Nell" set "Rowlo's" heart alight!
And you, O Prlend, to whom 1 wilte.
Must not deny, e'en though ou mlfiht.
Through fear of model n plrato'ti rage,
Old books uie best.
What though the ptlnts bo not so bright
Tho paper dark, the binding slight,
Our author, bo ho dull or sago,
Returning from n distant age,
Fq lives again. Wo ruy of right:
Old books are best.
