American Flour in Brazil.

Brazil buys from the United States
$500, 900 to DC, 0OO, 900 worth Of -four
In . year. American exporters, when
Aour 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 a 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
-four made from the manioca root. and
which they habitually eat mixed with
their stewed black beans and dried beef

Further conversation proved Uncle Zach
q most incredulous person. CHANGING to
mention DIR. Carver's feat OF breaking glass
balls with rifle, he said:

Later, Uncle Zach observed a roperunning
along the side OF the car.
"Boss, what's dat line fur?"

the force OF the brake was obtained, to

A GLORIOUS WARFARE.

A Victory Which Brings Blessedness and
PrOsperity-Temperanc Recitation for
Boys.
Friends: 1t is my pleasant duty to
explain to you the object of our coming
together and banding ourselves into a
society called 1.-The Band Of Hope"
FRS: of ALL we are volunteers. and they
are always the happiest and readiest
soldiers. One brave, willing recruit is
worth ton pressed men. We do not
wear any uniform, except the uniform
desire to do good. Cur bands are not
often of brass, but always of hope.
Our music is not particularly marital.
but when we stand to sing in martial
order the melodies are more heartily
and earnestly rendered than those per-
formed at military reviews and sham
fights. The oath of allegiance is our
pledge. We have no regulations about
height or age. Nothing dis9ualifes for
service except desertion.
Our warfare is against no man, but
for the benefit of all men. We fight
the foes Of disease and crime, of poverty
and wretchedness The only arms we
use are the weapons of facts and truth,
and arguments for sobriety, economy,
health and happiness. We neither k II
nor wound any; we only seek to ami
hilate the foes that slay our countrymen
by thousands and fill our hospitals with
the sick and wounded. We cOntend for
peace. Our victory brings blessedness
aud prosperity as surely as the morning
sunshine banishes the darkness of night.
Is not ours glorious warfare? Will
you enlist with US to carry it still fur
Their on?--Christtan at Work.

A TalIow 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 of 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 cylindri-
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 q cylinder
with hole at the bottom, through
which it is driven by the action of q
press. 1t comes out perfectly white,
free from all impurities, and soon be-
cones solid. GalgnaGni Messenger.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

THERE Is q Temperance Insurance
Company in Scotland; and by its rcgu-
lations a total abstainer can obtain in
surance at ten per cent less premium
than a moderate drinker.
JOHN MILTON said: Performers look
small in the eyes of the world, they are
so far in advance, but large in the eyes
OF God, they are so much nearer Him;
for all real reform is Godward."
DON'T drink, treat or be treated.
No man ever made an ounce of reputa-
ton or money by doing il, and enough
has been lost to make a paradise Of the
Unitel States, and pave the streets with
gold. National Educator.
OCCASIONALLY a mad dog rushes
through the street. and forthwith the
authorities are called upon to muzzle or
kill every dog. And yet whisky kills
800, 900 people, and brings millions of
others to misery and want. where q
single one is killed Or injured from a
rabid dog, The moral is plain. Do
more muzzling of whisky.-Inter
Ocean.
THERE are, at the very latest &C.
counts, 1882 total abstainers in the
British Army in India. The Duke of
Connaught in letter to Rev. MIR.
Gregson who is the founder of the Sol
diers' Total Abstinence Association,
says: Experience has taught me how
much of the crime in the army in India
is either caused or aggravated by
drink, and one can not too often i'm
press this upon the men themselves. :"
Evidently the men are being impressed.
THE London Temperance Hospital,
which has just celebrated its anniver-
sary, finds death rate during the past
year of only five per cent. The num-
Der cared for in the hospital was 5S4.
of which 500 left the institution cured
and 100 had been relieved. Abstaining
and Notwithstanding patients are re-
ceived in about e ,ual numbers, and in
only two cases since establishment has
alcohol been administered. A new
wing, with accommodation for seventy
patients, has been added during the

"A few days since one Of the police
ST. # had occasion to arrest the father Of
family who had imbibed and become
noisy and troublesome, The noise OF
the inebriate attracted the attention of a
grown-up daughter, who ran to the
rescue of her pa. Seeing no other way,
she threw her arms around the neck of
the officer and Rugged him most affec.
tionately. 1t was the only thing that
could have turned that particular officer
from the path of duty. He let the old
man 60 and allowed himself to be cap
tured, and what man wouldn't under
the circumstances?-Marysville (Cai}

Thus we see that this class is the only
one that comes out OF the comparison
In solvent condition.
The burden which drink lays upon
the third class is even greater than
here shown, owing to the larger num-
Der Of women and children belonging
to it. While in the whole country the
proportion of women and children
among wage-earners is 90, in trade
and transportation il is only 1.22 but
in professional and personal service it
is 40 or nearly three-fourths of the
whole. It follows therefore that if this
class drinks anything like the aggre-
gate we have computed the results OF
It must be well nigh totally destructive
to the men who belong to it.
Thus all the considerations together
point to the conclusion that the drink
and tobacco wastes disarrange ex-
changes, cut off the manufacturers
markets and condemn one-sixth of the
wage-earners of the country to a condi-
ton of absolute misery, and another
sixth to condition but little better
through the unfair diversion Of their
earnings for buying food and fuel for
the unfortunate victims OF drink

he wouldn't. Judge Sites took out his

that the multitude OF diseases OF scrofu-
lous nature generally proceed from torpid
condition OF the liver. The blood becomes
impure because the liver does not act prop

tenn, and the certain results are blotches,
pimples, eruptions, swellings, tumors, ulcers
and kindred affections, or settling upon the
lungs and poisoning their delicate tissues,
