The Land lie Left Behind Him.
Dom.Pcdro, next to the emperor Of all
the Russian, rules over the largest con-
tiguouS territory under one government
ON the globe, Official reports give it an
area Of l,S9L L@9l square miles, more or
less Its greatest length is 1900 miles,
and its greatest breadth is no To 20
all over it in an ordinary lifetime one
would need to travel rs fast as its emperor
has been doing while VI this country. 1t
is divided into twenty provinces and one
independent municipality, each Of which
has Il local capital.
The empire claims a population Of IT,
GNO,OOO, but some authorities claim that
it does not contain more than 1000 OOO
people of all races. The whites number
about onc-thirl Of the entire population,
and are chiefly Of Portuguese descent
In the scaboard ci' les there are many
Ftcnch, Germans and English, most Of
whom are engaged in trade. Nearly one
third Of the inhabitants are Indians.
They represent all degrees of civilization,
and no civilization worth speaking of.
Some Of the interior tribes are canuihalS
They practice Jerking the meat obtained
from enemies bodies and storing it up
for 4 rainy day. In this respect they
show more foresight and thrift tnan the
natives of the (Hnnibal Islands. Most of
the Indians, however, are very quiet and
friendly. ThcysubsiSt for the most part
ON game and wild fruits. They require
little 10y way of houses. Their Iayorltc
clothing is red paint. The country con-
tainS nearly OOO, OOO negroes. The re
maindcr Of the population consists Of
mixed races. Some of the races are very
decidedly mixed, having the bIoodoI ne
grocs, Indians and whites in their veins.
Since Brazil was discovered, in the
year $500, and settlements were COM
mcuCCd shortly aitcrward, ii seems some
what remarkable that it has not a larger
white population. This may he cX-
planned hy the fact that the country was
long tributary to Portugal, which did not
contain inhabitants enough to people 50
vast 4 country. During the past twenty
