the chamber of deputies. He is lawyer.
orator and writer, and was an active eman-
oipationist. Senior Constant, the new min
lister of war, is also Journalist, and pro-
lessor in the polytechnic institute. Field
Marshal Gen. Didorio da Fonseca, upon
whose shoulders rests the main response
bility of the new regime, is one Of the most
popular army officers in the nation, and a
tried and gallant soldier. He was punished
recently for INSTRUMENTATION. Like his pro-
totype Boulanger, his picturesque person
alitv stands out in the present crisis with a
degree of prominence that overshadows his
associates During the trouble last year
between Paraguay and Bolivia Brazil
stood neutral, and Gen. da Fonseca was
dispatched to the point Of danger with a
strong army corps to guard the national in
terests. He was at the same time appointed
governor of the involved province of Matte
Crosse, which he held until the crisis had
passed. He is about forty-five years of age,
of fine commanding presence, immensely
popular with the army and military
leader possessing both dash and courage
This is the leader, hitherto unknown to the
world outside OF Brazil, whom the fortunes
of war have pushed to the front as the pro-
jector of successful rebellion and the
founder Of the new South American repub.
I lie. Aristide Lobo, the new minister of the
interior, is Republican lawyer; about fifty
eight yaars old, and has long been active il

Baron Ladario, who seems to have bee1
the only sufferer by violence during tn
recent troubles, is well known in this coun
try, and served at one time in the United
States navy under his family name of Jos
Costa da Ayevedo. He was then abou
thirty years old. He afterward returned t,
Brazil and entered the Service of the EN-
peror, where his ability won him the high
est rank in the navy. He visited this coun

THE NEW FLAG.
LoEDoN, Specialize haste of the vari-
Gus powers to send naval vessels to Rio ia
3eiro, notwithstanding the reports that
everything in the new republic is peaceful,
would indicate that they have
greater faith in theic own abil-
ity to protect their respective
Interests in Brazil than they have in the
ability ofthe new government to protect
itself Nobody now doubts that the en-
pire is thing of the past, but not every
body will yet believe that the republic has
como to stay, at least not without
hard fighting to escape the dan
gers of anarchy and disintegra-
tion. The news received from Lisbon
late last night indicated that the reports
representing danger of revolution in
Portugal were greatly exaggerated and
based merely on the vaporings ofirresponsi-
bile persons thrown off their mental balance
by heated discussion of the Brazilian situa-
HiOu.
PROTECTION OF GERMANY.
BERLIN, Special.-Hope is generally ex-
pressed here that in the event of
the Brazilian states becoming split
,up, the 100000 Germans in Southern
Brazil will ask Germany for protection. 1t is
: not improbable that attempts will be made,
with assistance of the colonial party in
Germany, to secure the partial if not the
complete independence of the German set
=. tiers in Brazil, whether the states disinteg-
rate or not.

find favor with the Portuguese throne, the
result being that, in 1915, Brazil became
part OF the kingdom of Portugal. In 1921
Joao vi. returned to Portugal, and next year
Brazil became independent. In that year
Dom Pedro 1. was crowned and held the
reins till unseated by the rising of 1881. It
was not till 1s41, however, that Pedro H.,
then a mere lad of sixteen, assembled the
throne, the government being meanwhile
administered by regent. Two years after
his coronation he married Teresa Christina
Maria, the daughter Of King Francis of
Sicily. One daughter, the Countess d'Eu,
was the fruit of the union.
Dom Pedro's reign has been marked
throughout by progressive measures, and
under him the country developed and
prospered. Trade and commerce of every
description increased rapidly; 1900 miles OF

How Fortune Came.

A few years ago pleasant, genial
old gentleman called at one of the
city banks and requested an intro
duction to one the junior clerks.
The clerk, who had noticed the strang-
er and seen him enter the managers
room, was startled by a summons
to go inside. Once inside the mana
gers room, the clerk found himselfface
to face with the stranger. The visit
orimmediately broke the ice by say
ing that had the pleasure to an
nounce that by the death of an uncle,
and in consequence of the death o.
several other relatives, this young
gentleman was heir to a baronetcy.
Hardly believing his ears, the clerk
summoned up enough presence of
mind to ask if it was an empty title.
The visitor Immediately and blandly
informed him that his income was at
least 100000 a years, with $4,000
ut a bank upon current account. 1t
has since been ascertained that the
income is not less than $4,000 a
year.
The owner of a very valuable pair
of trousers was lately advertised for
in the French papers by the honest
finder of the same, who allowed the
individual to whom they belonged
fifteen days in which to come for

would consider himself justified in
profiting by this strange windtall,
which, as he was in poor circum-
stances and about to be married,
would he very serviceable to him.
On the Place de la Concorde he
stated that he saw one evening a
dark object on the ground, which he
first took to be sleeping dog. On
closer inspection, however, he discov-
cred his mistake, and picked up the
garment then in his possession. He
took the trousers with bin on board
a boat which he owned, and on
passing them In review noticed that
the bnttons seemed different from
ordinary ones. Prompted by Curl
osity. he undid the cloth that COW
cred them, and found, instead. of
wooden molds, gold pieces. Carry
ing his Investigations further, he
came across some bank notes stitched
into the waistband with other papers
of value.

excused for receiving them with a
considerable amount of reserve;

in q small hole in the bank. The assas-

A Queens Moustache.

A most curious statement is being
made about the Queen of Portugal. Not
only has Maria Pia, it is said, g clearly
defined anoustache on her upper lip. but
she is positively proud of it. It is
furthermore stated, evidently by a con-
frmed courtier, that this hirsute adorn'
ment suits admirably the Queen of Port
ugal's style of beauty. Who shall say,
then, that this royal example will not
effect a arevolution in this particular direc'
ton? Hitherto the answers on toilette
matters in the ladies' journals have been
largely devoted to directions to fair core
spondents how they might get rid of the
superfuous growth Of hair on
their upper lips and chins. But in
future, possibly, toilette editors will be
called on to recommend the best nous
tache developer for ladies whose 'style
of beauty" the masculine growth on the
upper lip is supposed to suit.

an At1ertionstc Lion.

The superintendent of the animal de-
partment out in Woodward'a garden tells
pathetic and pretty story about a lion
they had out there, says The San Fran
cisco Chronicle. At first he was so dan
gerous that they did not care to venture
too close to him, but by persistent gen
tlcn2ss and kindness the superintendent
gradually made the beast so fond Of him
that it liked to have him go into the

lion would raise its head, so as to give

sailor came into the gardens and began
teasing the lion The superintendent
came up and told the sailor not to tease
the beast. The sailor replied with an
oath. and struck at him twice. The lion

reared, and bent the bars of his cage so
mach that the sailor got frightened. Ii

The Gallery Front Row.

When I go to the theatre with a party
Of gentlemen l always prefer to take seats
in the front row of the first gallery. Of
course, when people see you there they
imagine. you are trying to save money,
and all that sort of thing-that you're
really stingy, as it were. Of course no
one wants to appear in that light, and
when one takes lady he cannot afford
to be placed in that position. But when
only gentlemen are concerned, I tell you,
they can all take the dress circle and
parquet for me. III take the front row
in the first gallery, and know what I'm
talking about, for I've studied the matter.
No one will doubt that you can see let

hats IN front of you, no heads lodging
from. one side to the other to see around
some other body's big hat, no nothing of
that sort. If that amt an advantage, l
don't know what is. Then there's another
thing. You can hear better in the front of
the lower gallery. There's no other part
of the house that equals it, and if the
escape from the big hat nuisance is not
enough this surely is.-Globe-Democrat.
