But the ahl-suvcry influences of modern

sonable, 1t will be the only spot in Clristen-
dom where the enormity Of chat,elizing nIzn
is praciiced.
IL appears that the Brazilian slave trade
has hecomc nearly extinct This is mainly
due To the measures Of the BRAZILIAN Gov.
erumrnt ITSELF which, Of late, has becoins
sincerely and resOnirly IN earnest to SUD-
press the traffic. THIS course of that gos-
ernmeut shows n great clmnga of public
sentiment in Brazil, which must give such
gentlemen as Nlr. Ncuahle g,rnt uncnsiness.

According to the report Of the Secretary
OF State IN May last, submitted To the Gene
raj Legislature, il appears that the number
OF Aircaps imported in 1913 amounted TO
GOOOO, aud ia 1919, To $4,000. Ia the year
1851, the number was reduced To 3,2S7, ot'
