Brazil.
Private adyices received in New York from
Brazil confirm the dispatch published few
days after the proclamation of the republic,
TO the effect that tile new government pro-
posed to sever the connection between the
Roman Catholic Church and the State that
had existed under the monarchy. From a
perfectly reliable source tbs cahegram was
received: "BraZiiiag Government proposes
separating church from State Under the
monarchy the established religion was the
Roman Catholic, but the Constitution guaran-
teed the federation of other religions so far as
the performance Of worship was concerned,
in buildings provided for the purpose, but
without the exterior form of churches.
The Roman Catholic clergy and their edu-
catOnal institutions were maintained by the
State, the annual cost exceeding the cost of
public education. Brazil constitutes an &C.
clesiastical province, with a Metropolitan
Archbishop. whose seat is at Bahia, and II
Suffragan Bishops, II Wears General and
2O00 curates, There are IL Catholic Semi
nares. most of which have been under Gov
eminent subsidy. For the support of these
ecclesiastics and their various institutions
the appropriation for 1SS7-SS was 1854 900.
In the same budget the appropriation for
public education was $780, GOO. Under the new
Government the church will be thrown back
upon its own resources.

How Our Sbips of War Are Named.

The naming of vessels of the navy is
regulated by law. Vessels of the first
class are required to be named after
states, those of the second after rivers,
those of the third after the principal
cities and towns, and those of the
fourth as the President may direct.
The law is not always observed as
closely as it ought to be. but in the
main it governs naval and nomencla-
ture to-day. The first act bearing on
this subject was passed in 1919, and
was subsequently amended by that of
1858, to bring it in harmony with the
changes wrought by steam navigation.

An English author once fell in with
a man who professed to be able to read
character by means of handwriting.
BY way of testing the matter the
author took from his pocket letter,
and holding his thumb over the sigma

writer was.
Was he a man of genius!
Most certainly not.
A scholar?
By no means. srS.aa.s-

No. There was nothing remarkable
about the writing; it was an ordinary

dumb-founded when he read the name.

where two streets converged, on a
dllapidated platform, raised few feet
above level ground, stood a man, talk
ing to crowd of curious people
gathered about him-some to listen.
some to scoff, some with hands thrust
in pockets, either for comforts sake.
or to guard the same against the at
tacks of the speaker.
He was seedy and old, and til. st
of this Christmas-eve had reuuened
his eyes and nose, and lent an extra
quaver to his voice. He shook bot
tie of dark liquid in the faces of his
hearers, and shouted:
''Walk up, ladies and gentlemen,
and try my Life Elixir. 1t will cure
all the ills that flesh is heir to, and a
good many more, as Shakespeare has
said. Every bottle is warranted to
add five years to your life, or money
refunded. Walk upi There's not the
ghost of an excuse for any of YOU to
die under the age of MethuseIahi''
The villagers showed little haste In
seizing the opportunity thus offered.
Times were hard-few, perhaps, cared
to prolong life to such an appalling
period. Some good-natured jokes
passed from. mouth to mouth; then
there was a stamping of half-frozen
feet, and sudden movement on the
outskirts of the crowd, as carriage
turned a neighboring corner, and drew
up near the old platform.
1t was an elegant vehicle, drawn by
pair of spanking bays with locked
tails, and driven by coachman in liv-
cry. Inside, hand in a fur glove
pulled down the window, and the pale,
sickly face of man, muffled in seal
skin, looked out on the old quack and
his audience.
"My friends" went on the frost
bitten voice on the platform, ''Tm

ton of the power of my elixir. Lord
