full what commonplaces can be uttered

indeedl She would rather have but one
dress and turn it on holidays. Her
father would sell his shirt first, and then
button up his seedy coat. Her mother
would die of modification. And SO they
live, poor and vain, aping an aristocracy
by mock attempt and show, the cheap
and tawdry emptiness Of what is ridicu-
lous. The wealthier, and not less vain,
are surrounded with an atmosphere Of
frigid hauteur, through which only mem
bers Of the clique have the courage to
attempt to penetrate. The Brazilian
woman develops and natures young, and
becomes old while still young. Her moral
sensibilities become obscured by the life
which exists about her, and into which
she may possibly at times get a glance
through the customs Of her father or her
brothers.

Bit by n woman.

A young man, an acquaintance o.
ours, was some three weeks ago visiting
some friends at Cape Girrdeau. While
there frolcking young lady OF the city

cate herself from his fearful grasp she
was compelled to bite him. The bite
was only sufficient to start the blood a
little, aud he brushed it of, deeming it
more a work of affection than evidence
of any NAL a pense.
For day or two his hand was ex'
posed to the cold air, and the result was
he was compelled to go to bed and nurse
a swelled and inaamed arm. For four
long weeks he was compelled 70 remain

A Tale of Chicago.
from the chicaEo Times.l

From the Chicago Times.l
He occupied delightful quarters in a
genteel clearinghouse not more than a
million Of miles from the corner Of
Wabash avenue and Eldridge court.
The old dweller in Chicago, knowing
perfectly the general character of its
different thoroughfares, may doubt that
there is such thing as a boarding-house
anywhere in the neighborhood; but he
was exceptionally good-looking, and de-
cidedly dapper, and perhaps was taken
in for the sake of his company--so it is
not material about the clearinghouse
theory.
He patronized the barber and the
boot black with great regularity, and
ordered from his tailor quite as often as
he paid his bills. He was pretty man,
very pretty, with a profusion of curls,
plenty of perfume, and a very winning
way. He was lavish too-that is, of his
company-and he parted with it readily
to ladies.
He shone as a beau, aud women
dotted upon him. 1t is even thought that
they sometimes tore each others hair
out in lively controversies concerning
him. He was so nice, so distingue, so,
to sum up with that feminine climax, so
perfectly splendid.
Now he showered his attentions upon
an eligible blonde-again upon an en-
gaging brunette. Would he marry 2
was the mental question which the
ladies propounded to themselves. And
every appearance indicated that if he
got a good chance he would. So young,
SO gay, so debonair, he couldn't be a
widower, and happy would be the wo'
man who would captivate his young
affections and lead him in rosy chains to
the altar never reached in all his wan
derings.
He was at the hight of his friskiness
when a carriage drove to the door OF
that boarding house situated not so many
million miles from the corner aforesaid,
on yesterday morning. A lady alighted.
She marched with terrible tread upon
the palatial steps; she jerked with
awful impetuosity the innocent bell
handle; she bounded with lightning
rapidity into the parlor. he was there.
At the piano. Mingling his voice with
anothers. A blondes. He sang:
"Ahl have sighed to rest me, .,
Sighed to rest me, deep in the quiet grave"
And then bending Ger the blonde with
ravishing gaze he continued ardently;
"Out of the leve 1 bear thee"
Then the stranger spoke. Ahal
Crane" cried she. 1t was Mrs. Crane
all the way from New York. The blonde
fell fainting to the floor.
And now Crane hitched on to Mrs.
C.'s apron strings, is en- route to their
deserted home and little ones. He had

Donn Plat and the Poet.

Gath in the Chicago Tribune.l
One day Cucker, the poet, approached
Piatt on the piazza.

Sweet Would you mind if | repeated

The Colonel took of his hat and
wiped his head of rich brown hair--not
hair in the crown gray, though life is
a little old with the wearer.
My dear Cucker," he said, in kind,
passive way, nothing would please
me more. NJ
The poor numbskull repeated two
hundred lines of weary drivel, and then
the Colonel said:
my dear Quicker, that is remarka-
bly, graceful thing. Would you mind re-
peating it all to me again? ! know that
/ am asking great deal, but you would
really oblige me"
The astonished and delighted Cucker
repeated the whole lugubrious perform
aRce. The Colonel sat in apparent
ecstacy, not twinkle in his face, and
at the end he said: -
Thanks, my dear Cuckerl What
pains You have been at to crafty me.
Now, won't you select some of the pas
sages that strike you most in that poem,
and repeat them to me? By that time
l shall have living memory Of that
extraordinary composition; for so must
call it2"
The bewildered Cucker looked into
the Colonel's eyes, aud met there the
gentlest reverence, the sincerest inter
est. So he galloped through two-thirds
of the stupidity third time. lt
The Colonel had headache all that
day, and could not sleep at night.

brazilian Women.

A Rio Janeiro correspondent OF the
Providence Journal declares that hand.
some women are rare in Brazil, and
adds: The face is generally very
plain, and often ugly. and really be-
iieye that because the lack Of comeli-
ness is so frequent it is not truly appre-
hended. The complexion is generally
sallow, never clear and fresh, and by no
means improved by the abundant use
made of cosmetics. II any single fea-
ture deserves notice it is the eyes, and
vet these do not possess that quality
which makes even the plainest eyes bril-
liant; there is no soul looking at you or
speaking to you through them. Child
hood seems to cover the whole period OF
physical beauty. and some OF the
children are most interesting; yet even
then the habits and tastes OF Ignorant
and commonly negro nurses are liked,
in place of the impressions OF mother
careful training and the example OF a
mothers devoted life. The excessive
vanity Of girlhood, which seems to be
encouraged by the parents rather than
restrained; the gratifcstion of the palate
with all manner of sweets and eondi-
ments; the entire absence of any
physical exercisej and, what is
more, nothing but weakness in
herited. cannot assume any perfect
womanliuess. Foreign ladies who teach
in the schools (private and select schools J
have told me that school girl life in
Brazil is in a most lamentable moral
condition. A knowledge of French,
music and dancing is all that is consid-
cred worth obtaining, and then until
marriage-whioh doesn't come at all to
many Of them, or If it does come is an
arrangement Of the parents, aud simply
changes the place Of idleness-they
wait, doing nothing week, mopth and
wear. nothing; they neither study, nor
read, nor sew; they do nothing. In the
forenoon, in state Of slothful disha-
bile. they dawdle and lounge around
the house: in the afternoon they look
out Of the windows, and this IS a ma.
tional custom most striking to a stranger,
to see them, white and black, high and
low, educated aud illiterate, hanging out
Of the windows through the afternoon; /;
indeed, the window seats are filled with
cushions that the arms may not become
bruised BY the continual leaning
upon them, In the evening, dressed
