Beyond the abolition of slavery looms
up in Brazil the question of labor. There
can be but one solution of the problem,
and that is immigration. How to attract
this is absorbing the minds Of the
statesmen. The labor of the liberated
slaves and their descendants will never
be sufficient for the needs of the country.
They are by nature the most lazy and
worthless laborers in the world, and have
a disposition 70 leave the plantations and
flock to the cities of the s~ea-coast. There

raw farina and casasch are happy.
One great drawback to immigration to
Brazil is the bad reputation for health
which the country has in Europe. The
northern seaport towns are undoubtedly
unhealthy, but in the south Of the EN-.
pire and in the interior the climate is as
healthful as could be wished. Still, the
horror with which yellow fever is re-
garded and the difficulty of making i'm
migrants understand the vast size of the
empire and its consequent variety of eli
mates, render the work of attracting
them here difficult. The Argentines owe

DR.. Van Haren, who passed several
years IN the delta of the Gaboon river,
confirms Professor Brehm's opinion that
the gorilla uses his stout arms chiefly for
two purposes: to bend down branches
hat would break under the weight of
his body, and to dart off with wildcat
speed at the approach OF a hunter. He
will avoid a conflict as long as he al use
his limbs for locomotive purposes, and
II the whole truth were known the man
killing monster would urn out to be
nothing but an vergrow orang. Van
Haren secured two youngsters, who
failed TO survive tho first year OF their
captivity, but conducted themselves very
much like the pet of the Berlin aquarium,
which at first was supposed TO be an all
together exceptional specimen.
One of them was purchased from a
river boatman, and proved to be in a
badly crippled condition, but never be-
trayed its ill-humor by anything worse
than a plaintive grunt. He now and
then would leave his couch in quest of
tidbits and ransack every trunk he could
open, but would promptly defer to the
first protest. A lifted finger was enough
10 make him limp back to his corner.
He learned TO hobble forth at the bidding
Of his master and seemed TO get recon-
ciled TO his captivity. but his broken leg
kept him moaning all night, and he died
from general exhaustion. His successor
was too young tomasticate bread, and in
default of milk had to be fed on half
boiled eggs. He would cling to his mas
ter's arm and move his lips with a sup
plicating humble. a strangely expressive
plea for protection, or perhaps for a
mouthful of more congenial nourish-
ment, for the poor little kid evidently
loathed his egg diet, and at sight of a
fresh installment would retreat with
irog-like jumps and all sorts of ludicrous
grimaces.
Strange TO say, he seemed very fond of
liquor, and ogled every bottle with the
leer of a d~yspeptic; but it was afterward
ascertained that his first owner had fud-
died him with gusk, or sweetened palm
brandy. There was nothing s~anguinary in
his symptoms Of youthful d~epravity. He
would not touch meat in any form. Even
hash excited his grins Of disapprobation-
He was evidently averse to cruelty, for
at sight of n dog-fight between combat
ants of rather unequal size he rushed
forth and shrieked out an appeal to the
mercy of the victor. All the character
traits of the alleged ogres tended to con-
firm Professor Brehm'sa priori that q
creature with a frugiferous organism
should be swayed by the passions of a
were-wolf.-Dr. Felix l. Oswald in Chi

REVERSED AGAIN.

Commissioner Sparks does not yet
show any evidence hat the mauling he
has received from the public press has
done him any good. While he has over
ruled one or two of his errors. be left il to
his superior, Secretary Lamar, to coun-
termand the most important order he has
issued, one that has done great injustice
and injury to the people of the West,
viz The order of April 3, 1885, suspend
ing final action upon entries upon the
public lands. This obnoxious order was
revoked by MIR. Lamar yesterday, and for
this that gentleman deserves and will re-
ceive the profound gratitude Of the hardy
settlers on the public domain.
The order referred to suspended final
action upon all entries Of public lands ex-
cept private cash entries and such scrip
locations as are not dependent upon acts
of settlement and cultivation in the whole
of Colorado, except land in the late Ute
reservation, all of Dakota. Idaho. Utah,
Washington, New Mexico, Montana,
Wyoming and Nevada; as well as upon
all timber entries under act of June g.,
1875 also upon all cases Of desert land
entries. Secretary Lamar says to Com
missioner Sparks: Whatever necessity
may have existed at the time Of lis pro
mitigation has ceased to be sufficient to
longer continue an order suspending all
action and involving in common condem-
nation the innocent and guilty, the honest
and dishonest. While / earnestly urge
the exercise Of the s~trictest vigilance to
prevent by all agencies within your power
the contamination OF fraudulent or
wrongful land claims, yet, when the vigi-
lance Of all these agencies shows no sub
%stantial evidence of fraud or wrong, honest
claims should not be delayed, nor their
consideration refused on general reports
or rumors. The order as issued by you is
therefore revoked, and you will proceed in

ton and disposal OF the claims suspended

A sad enough instance of the form
which horo worship took a hundred
years ago may be seen in the bust Of
Houdon, which Mr.. Greenough alludes
TO. We have the mask, which precisely
copies Washington's face, which Houdon
made TO work from. Whoever will com
pare it with Houdon's head will see that
even Houdon, who certainly knew what
a likeness was and what a bust should
be, thought it necessary to shave off some
Of Washington's forehead that the head
might conform TO the Bourbon type.
The head in his statYe indicates a return
toward tho receding forehead OF the ape,
such us you may see in the heads OF

this was the artistic fashion Of the day.

AT the meeting of the Washington
Monument society, Col Casey made some
interesting statements to the members in
regard 10 his observation Of the habits Of
the monument, for it appears that the
great obefsk is a moving, if not a living
thing, and that it has a regular swaying
motion when the sun is shining upon it.
On every bright day the apex Of the
monument moves at least one inch west
ward in the morning when the suns rays
first fall upon it, and eastward again in
the Afternoon when the sun reaches the
western side. The heat Of the suns rays
have an expansive effect upon the
mason, and the plummet that is sus-
pended in the interior of the monument
registers this movement from day to day.

POISON ON THE WALLS.



Results of chemical AnAlyses-uins..
Caused by A~rsenieal w~an-P.psr.
The Massachusetts, board OF health
published, about a year and a half ago.
the results Of analyses of Wallpaper
made by Professor Edward 8. Wood.
Twelve years earlier the same board had
published a report upon the use of arsenic
by manufacturers OF wallpaper, pre-
pared by DR.. F. w. Draper. In that re-
port the presence Of this poison in green
papers was pointed out, and green pa
pers became unfashionable. But Pro-
lessor Wood showed that arsenic was to
be found in papers Of every hue and in
those sold at high prices as well as in the
cheap patterns. The quantity carried
ranged from half a grain to nearly seven
grains a square yard. Many green pa
pers contained no trace Of this poison.
Glazed and plated papers, prepared for
the use of children in kindergartens. car
ried from twenty to twenty-five grains
on a square yard. Toys and candies
were covered with arsenical pigments,
and the white papers used in covering
and lining small boxes was 50 heavily
charged that a square foot yielded forty
five grains. or enough TO kill fifteen men.
Professor Woods rqNprt was accom-
panied by a record of Iorty-two cases of
illness caused by paper charged with ar
senic.
There nave been several hearings in
Boston before the legislative committee
on public health. Testimony has been
given by chemists, doctors and professors
connected with Harvard university. The
evidence submitted is cumulative. Pro
fessor Lyon described fourteen cases of
illness caused by arsenical wallpaper, all
OF which came under his observation.
In one case-several members of a
clergyman's family having been affected
the symptoms were described as fol
lows: -Numbness in shoulders and
arms, weakening of digestive organs,
sleeplessRess, nervous prostration." In
other cases the symptoms were "a pc
culiar sore throat" bronchial infiamma-
ton, loss of appetite, castle irritability,
headaches, a metallic taste in the mouth,
soreness of eyelids, cold extremities, de
preston Of spirits, extreme lassitude and
fatigue in the morning. In these cases
careful examination and experiments
proved beyond a doubt that arsenic car
ried into the system from heavily charged
wallpaper was the cause of illness. In
fered severely, analysis revealed eleven
grains of arsenic per square yard on the
wall-paper.-New York Times.

manages it by confiding the matter to

this manner.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
