Women and Their WAYS

The consideration shown by both Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs, Folsom to servants is
very constant subject OF grateful re-
mark among them. Neither lady gives
an o7der. She asks 10 have her commits
sion done. Nothing a servant ever does
escapes the reward of a smile and a thank
you. At the hotel where Mrs. Cleveland
lives the servants are put 70 much work
carry.n cards and packages to her rooms,
but never make complaint. It is related
that, rather than summon the colorsd
norman TO her when sue wishes some
extra commission executed, she some
times saves him extra steps by going
part way down the stairs to speak to him
On one occasion the doorman was almost
doing III his CHAIR when a draught of air
aroused him. He started up to find Mrs.
Cleveland pushing the heavy door open
softly.
"Oh," she said, smiling TO his apologies,

CRIME IN BRAZIL.
The Lax View Taken OF II by the Masses
Of the people.

on by the common people in Brszll, and
can not better show this than by relat-
ing bit of experience.
had the misfortune at one time TO
wound q Brazilian l4borer-in his dignity.
He thereupOn threatened 70 take my life,
and was by no means careful TO keep his
resolutions TO himself. AS the carrying
out OF such determination upon his part
would have caused me much inconven-
ienoe. / called upon him in person, with
the urpose, if possible, of dissusding
him. found tuat he did not look upon
the condition of criminal with dread at
all He told me frankly that if he should
succeed in carrying out his designs he
knew perfeotly well what his career would
be. AT present" said he, 81 am obliged
to work for a living; if am sent to jail
my living will be furnished me and
shall have nothing to do. If You are
dead there will be no one to appear
against me in the courts as my accuser,
and in the course of year or less shall
be set free, will rested, and with the
reputation in the community of being a
man of courage"
In this case l saw to it that he had the
opportunity of enjoying the coveted
otium cum dignite.e in Jail without hav-
ing TO commit crime. But in a country
where wrong doing sets so lightly upon
the conscience, and where it so fire.
quently goes altogether UNPUBLISHED, the
criminal class is large, as We should ex-
poet.
Many of the prisoners on the convict
island were known among themselves by
what seemed to be very odd names, and
learned that they were nicknames taken
from some circumstance connected with
the crimes they were expiating. Some
times there was a CHASTITY sort of humor
about these names. One, who had muir
dered a priest, was called 80 Padre" the
priest; another, who murdered a man
for his money and had found but half a
pataca upon him, was called "Meia Pata-
ca" half pataca, about l6 cents; an
other, for similar reason, was called
"Qlatro Yintens,' cents.
There are simply instances of how the
minds OF these people dwelt constantly
upon crime, how they admired crime
and consequently gravitatvd toward it.
About their work in shop or field, the
daily bread of their minds was to think
and talk of crime in every shape that
diseased minds and perverted natures
can conjure it up. One would entertain
his companions by detailing to them the
story of some crime committee by him
self or of which he had knowledge,
while every one listened sttentively, like
so many experts. The story ended, cri-
tioism began, and each one would indi-
cate that he considered the weak points
ia the plan and It's * =cution, and would
suggest Improvements here and there.
One story led to Rnothe-, and, as might
be expected, minds accustomed to this
highly seasoned food soon rejected all
