mixtures as are visible to the naked eye.
And these races range all the way from
red-brown cannibals to cultured white
Christians, while of the vast land area
at least fifth is unexplored and at least
third is unbroken tropical forest-low-
land forest, much of it, perfect jungle
in which the summer months are fatal
to Aryan vigor, and at all seasons deadly
serpents and venomous insects abound.
There are, says Agassiz, over one hum
dred species Of valuable woods, while
other explorers add that in much Of the
lowland forest every bush has q thorn
and every insect o sting, every worm ID
vile, and every snake is venomous.
OF the 12,0O0,0O0 people, by the larg-
est estimate, about one-third are Aryan
(white or "Caucasian'), not quite third
negroes, less than tenth Indians and
the rest Metis or "mixed." There Is,
first, the cultured white Portuguese Bra
lillian, whether planter. official, mer-
chant or scholar--the ruling race. The
policy of the government has been very
liberal since independence, and many OF
all other European stocks have located
there, principally in the coast towns. To
these may be added, in political senti-
ment, the soldiers; for, though many
dark men are in the ranks, the officers
are generally white, and it was the army
that wrought the recent revolution. As
in all lands Of mixed blood, the rul-
ing race is the whitest, the generals
are Portuguese-Braz and evidently
men Of talent and commanding infiu-
ence. With them, of course, go the
planters, merchants and whites gener-
ally-indeed, there is nothing else for
them to do.
OF the negroes very little is said. As
they came originally OF the same West
African tribes as other American ne

A NATIVE INDIAN.

groes, and have but lately emerged from
slavery, their capacity for republican
system can easily be judged. There are
many names to designate the shades:
those darker than mulatto, but not full
black, are "metifs," "griffes," etc.; the
lighter shades may be scientifically
classbd as -mulattoes, quadroons, octo-
rooms. melanoids and leuco-melanoids.
OF the Indians, the most noted are the
Botocudos. who have advanced far
enough to till small patches, live in huts,
weave mats and keep cattle. Above
them are few Indians like the Pueblos,
of Mexico and Arizona-simple, peace
full and industrious. Below them are
scattered tribes of savages, some OF
whom are cannibals, and all are implaca-
bly, hostile. Thus, in n territory little
larger than the United States, exclusive
of Alaska, are some 10000 civilized
and educated people and some {, ,0OO,OOO
grading down from that rank to MUIR
derng cannibals. And Of all that S,0O0,-
600 not one i'm ten can read. Evidently
there is room for development IN Brazil.
Brazil has warm climate and Brazil
rest. They cannot be classed among
the most enterprising people in the
world, yet they have a country whose
resources are simply marvellous. Agassiz,
Humboldt and many others have given
descriptions OF it which, designed to be
coolly scientific, have the floridity and
fervor of romance.
Nearly forty years ago the government
Of the United States sent well equipped
expedition to explore the interior. The
report, entitled Exploration of the VAL
ley Of the Amazon" though marred
somewhat by the exaggerated style in
which SO many American writers then
INDUCED, il o work Of rare interest yet,
and at the time of its publication attract
ed the public like new and brilliant
novel.
In this work Lieut.. Herndon estimated
the total length Of the Amazon at 3,94A
miles, counting the Huallaga as its head;
others assume other heads, but the low.
est estimate puts the length at 2, ,75Omiles,
and the area drained by the river and
its affiuents at 100000 square miles.
That is, the valley and drainage Of the
Amazon comprise third Of South Amer
lea. One of its tributaries is / 200 miles
long, and up this small steamer has
sailed 773 miles. But more remarkable
is the Rio Negro, about 1 200 miles long,
which is navigable, flows through q re,
gion of unsurpassed fertility, and is con-
nechsd near its head with the great Ori
noco by a natural canal or deep bayou
called the Cassigmare. Thus by those
three rivers an interior navigation Ia SO
cured equal to what might be II ont
could steam up the Mississippi and Mis-
souri,, then through bayou to the Co
lumbia and out to the Pacific.
OF course every schoolboy knows tina
the lower Amazon has the largest vol
ume of any river in the world. The ay
erage passing any point is SOC, COO cubi
feet per second-or about ESQ, ,OO
gallons minute. 1t colors the sea waite

So far As novelty in the styles Of make
up is concerned, the present may be de-
scribe1 as double breasted season. The
single breasted sack coat and the three
button cutaway continue to find favor
with the greater portion Of the well
dressed community, but there are two
new double breasted sack coats that will
attract the attention OF would be visitants
at the tailor's There ia double breasted
sack rounded at the edges and slightly
cut away and double breasted straight
roundabout jacket. Both coats have
q distingue informal appearance, the
straight roundabout sack coat having .
racier suggestiveness. The double breast
ed frock coat may be called the formal
garment OF informality. The indications
are that it will be worn earlier In the
day and more prevalently than hereto
fore.

A few years ago many American engi.
neers were invited to Brazil. there being
sort Of railroad furore; they returned
full Of enthusiasm over the country, but
with many amusing details Of the COM
mon life Of the people.
The Indians Of Brazil are said to be
the ugliest Of human beings, and the
Botocudos lead in ugliness. They were
80 named by the Portuguese, from "Bo-
toqus'-a barrel bung their habit
Of wearing great round billets or disks
of wood in their ears and under lips.
So far did this 60 that in middle life
many Of them had stiff under lips pro-
jecting five inches. OF late this custom
is mostly discontinued, but both sexes
still go perfectly naked, except in the
vicinity Of white settlements, and the
men habitually varnish themselves with
q bright yellow paint made from native
tree. They were cannibals, 30 far as to
eat their captors taken in war, but many
are now civilized.
The future of Brazil is Of course mat
ter for extensive speculation. The tempe
rate zone is not yet SO crowded with peo-
pie that there is any great need Of at-
tacking tropical jungles, and the Late
abandonment of Central Africa (for that
is what it appears to be) by the European

half an hour before the time fixed for

meant utter ruin TO the hotel, compro-
mise was effected and the dinner served
after only a slight delay. The most dis
astrous blow that struck the hotel was
the decision Of the centennial commis-
sioners to keep the exposition closed ON

Unreasonable or not it must be admit

horror Of Sunday here. and as a result
OF the closing of the exposition on one

from Saturday TO Monday in Washing
ton, New York or the seashore and often
remained away longer than they intend
ed at first. On account Of this the num-
Der Of guests would be depleted for three

guests averaged about three thousand ON
Wednesdays. and gradually dropped un.

must be remembered that the $3.50, ,0OC
