BRAZIL UP IN ARMS.

Nearly all the Ships i'm tho United States
Navy are Preparing to 20 Over There.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The reported
revolutionary movement in Brazil
accompanied by declaration of martial
law, and establishment of dictatorship
is likely to cause another demand
upon the already strained resources of
the navy for it is regarded as necessary
for protection of the American interests
that the United States naval force be on
hand there, IN case of formidable out
break. Only vessels regularly attached
to the south atlantic station now in the
vicinity Of Rio DeJanerio, are the
Essex and Tallapoasa. The first lis an
old wooden cruiser and the second is
worn out, unservicable and offered for
sale. The Boston is off the Brazilian
coast enroute to the Pacific, but it is
not probable she will be detained. The
Yorktown however, was at Bahai,
Brazil. Saturday and she will
probably be ordered by cable
to remain there or return for
Santos notwithstanding the fact that
she is also on her way to the Pacific
station. Meanwhile the work of repair
ing the New York and Boston is being
pressed and in case of emergency Ad
miral Gherardi's flagship, Philadelphia,
now on her way to the West Indies from
New York. could be ordered by cable
to proceed to Rio de Janeiro.

EVIL Effects of Conssnsulno Maria ges
Exemplified In Furops's Rulers.
The advocates of marriage law re-
forms found a strong argument on the
mental condition OF hereditary aristo-
Gratis in certain parts of Europe, where
social prejudice compels princes and
mobiles to restrict the choice of their
matrimonial unions to a limited num-
Der of family. The Grand Duke Of
Hesse Darmstadt for instance. is said
to trace his relationship to every
reigning house of Christian Europe
the parvenu dynasty of Sweden alone
excepted. and as a natural consequence
that dynasty alone can boast its COM
plete exemption from the taint of he
reditary insanity. King Ludwig, of
Bavaria escaped a lunatic asylum only
by suicide: his successor is an idiot.
Crown Prince Rudolph. of Austria,
was afflicted with eccentricities by no
means limited to his amours. George
the Third had a large assortment of
manias. unfortunately not including
that of suicide. Frederic Wilhelm, the
brother and predecessor of the con-
queror Of Sedan. was undoubtedly
crazy, and both his present successor
and the present Gar seem to have
considerable bees in their helmets.

His father, a bronzed Portuguese

His mother. a little woman who still

In deep mourning, and her tears and
eyes showed that she felt the death of
the unfortunate child but the broth ers
and sisters of the unfortunate being
in the coffin stood unmoved, as they
hardly regarded the body as that Of
their brother.
The boy was known all over the
neighborhood as the dog boy. but few
had ever seen him. as for eighteen
years of his life he had not been out
of the house but once. He was born
deaf, dumb and blind, and was utterly
without mind. He resembled more
than anything else a large dog or
baboon. He could walk upright, but
never did SO, preferring to crawl around
the room. Whenever he was dressed
he tore the garments from his back.
The only way his father could keep
him clothed was to make a long gar
ment OF the Mother Hubbard shape Of
the heaviest kind of bed-ticking, that
could not be torn. The unfortunate
being could make no articulate sound
except whine or snarl. He would
sleep all day and remain awake all
night He would never rest in bed.
but would crawl upon large chest in
the corner OF the room, and there he
would lie all day. The features of the
child resembled those of monkey.
The forehead was low and retreating,
the eyes deeply sunken. caused by
screwing his fists into them, and the
jaw was large and protruding. Once,
and only once, was he taken outside
the house. and that was when the
place caught fire and he was carried
out for safety. Then he cried and
whined until he was taken back. The
father is a hard working cobbler and
has eight children. all of whom are
bright and active save this one.
