American Flour in Brazil.

Brazil buys from the United States
$4,000, 600 to Sc, 900, 900 worth of flour
in year. American exporters, when
flour is cheap, as it is now, occasionally
send large increased quantities, and ex-
pect that market will be made for it.
Its cheapness, however, seems hardly
to make difference in the quantity con-
sumed. Some thirty thousand barrels
month are consumed at Rio and its
dependent markets, and it seems almost
impossible to increase this consumption.
AT Rio the bread is all made by bakers;
it is OF good quality and is eaten by all
classes. = ~ .,..
The great obstacle in expanding con-
sumption is the lack of internal trans
portation, and the fact that the mass of
the people have never been accustomed
to use flour, they being satisfied with the
flour made from the manioca root. and
which they habitually eat mixed with
their stewed black beans and dried beef.
A large part of the interior population
produce and buy. but little. They live
in primitive manner, in cheap dwell
ings with matched roofs and earth floors,
sleep in hammocks, use but the scantiest
articles of furniture, and even convey
their food to their mouths with their
fingers. ---Philadelphid Press.

A Tallow Tree.

This remarkable tree is native Of
China. In the Island of Chusan guam
titles of oil and tallow are extracted
from its fruit, which is gathered when
the tree has lost its leaves. The twigs
bearing the fruit are cut down and car
ried to farmhouse, where the seed is
stripped off and put into a wooden
cylindrical box, open at one end and
pierced with holes at the opposite one.
The box is then suspended in a cy1indri-
cal kettle containing water, and the
diameter of which differs but little, from
that of the box. The water is then
made to boil, and the steam, penetra-
ting into the box, softens the seeds and
facilitates the separation of the tallow.
After about quarter of an hours ex-
posure to steam the seeds are poured
into steam mortar, where they are
stirred about until all the talloW has
been separated in a semi-liquid state.
1t is afterwards poured into a cylinder
with hole at the bottom, through
which it is driven by the action of a
press. 1t comes out perfectly white,
free from all impurities, and soon be-
comes lid.-Gatigmdni Messenger.

The Snow-Shoe Rabbit.

The snow-shoe rabbit is a curious lit
tie fellow; the loose skin of the feet is
enlarged so as to expand on pressure,
and Bunny can skim along deep soft
snow where no living animal can follow
him. The mountain goa: has a similar
protection given it by nature; the thick
wiry hair on its legs above the hoofs
spreads outwards when walking over
snow, and enables this unsocial party
to wander at sweet will over deep and
deadly drifts unmolested by his enc
mics. The spreading wiry hair pre-
vents him from sinking over few
inches in the snow. He never descends
to the low country, unles in unusually
severe weather. In summer he ranges
on the SUBMITS almost of the highest
hills, close up to the perpetual snow
line, feeding on the chens, MOSES and
stunted grasses he finds there. In win
ter, reluctantly descending part way
down the hillsides, only so far as he is
compelled, he wanders over the storm.
cleared rocks, nibbling here and there,
and picking up his living in a way mar
velous to behold. Silent, wary. keen
eyed and cared, with wonderful scent
for danger, he views with supreme con.
tempt the lower world beneath him.
One forgets almost to breathe, watch
ing herd of these fellows when
alarmed. Rocks. boul,lers, chasms,
cliffs are as level ground to them; mad.
ly hopping. skipping and jumping, side
way, frontway, any way. on they 60
like a drifting cloud, and in a moment
almost, have vanished. -Aontana Cor

The Weli-Deserved Promotion of q Prom

President r. r. Gable, of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, has
issued the following important notice:
"Mr E. ST. John Is hereby appointed
assistant to the General Manager The
General Ticket and Passenger Depart.

ton of Mr.. St. John as formerly, and
all communications in connection with
those departments should be addressed

Agent"
The above announcement of Mr. ST.
Johns promotion will be read with in
terest and pleasure by the many who
have become intimate with him during
very long career. He has been asso-
ciated with the road SO long that he is
always considered part OF the system,
good, reliable, and ever on time. Mr..

Fashion.
The new material for young ladies'
dinner and dance dresses is cream Arab
gauze, which is finely killed both on
the bodice skirt and sleeves, the first
being high and plated over a low lining.
The only trimming is scarf of bengal
inc encircling the waist and tied with a
bede bow at the back.
These scarves and sashes are very
popular, and are worn with almost
every elegant toilette. For example, a
visiting dress in shot blue and red mer-
veileux, trimmed with pannels of null
ti-c0lored yak lace, has wide black
MORE sash tied at the back; the bodice
is trimmed with bretelles and officers
epauletes.
The summer mantelcts are in Chantil-
ly lace, with dark velvet braces, short,
fitting the figure at the back, but longer
in front; Chantilly drapery and velvet
band. Nantes are little more than
shcllder capes, with narrow part of
the front heightened like a mantilla
These small wraps are now popular
with young ladies, who wear them
sometimes made entirely of one rich
material; but they are more often a
combination of two pretty fabrics, such
as lace for the front, with beaded gren-
adine for the high sides that are set
upon the shoulders.
| Velvet sometimes forms the back of
mantles that have piece lace on the
high shoulders and the fronts may be
either plated lace or velvet. 1t takes
very small quantities for these little
wraps; but, as they are of rather costly
materials, the best plan is to buy the
model and fit it in white muslin to the
figure, then measure the muslin and OBJ
tain the exact quantity. Simple man
lies are made sometimes in the mate
rial of the dress with which they are
worn.

doctor claims to have discovered Il

meanwhile the organ is kept well
