ExEcRAeLE COOKERY IN BRAZIL.
The Fruits Are Fine, but Everything Else
Is Saturated with Grease and Garlic.

Wherever you live in Brazil it will
not be very well in the line of food, for
money cannot buy what does not ex-
ist in the country, writes Fannie B.
Ward. You must expect miserable
meat and fish, worse cooking, no
vegetables and pastry that an ostrich
would hesitate to tackle, nothing anv-
where near what it should be, except
the salads prepared by yourself, wines,
preserved dulces, and few other i'm
ported articles; fruits which are sure
to kill you in this climate if you con-
sumo too many, and eggs which the
worst cocinero cannot spoil, if you will
insist upon sticking to them boiled and
served in the shell. Come to think
about it, perhaps 1 better modify the
latter statement somewhat, for in the
matter of eggs the natives seem to
make little account, age or stage of in
cubation. But never under the sun
were seen such pine-apr IS, oranges,
and strawberries, not to mention
grapes, peaches, mangoes, bananas,
and a hundred strange varieties never
seen or heard of at the North, tropical
in size and richness (and in deadliness,
too, if eaten to excess) and "in season"
the year around. But in everything
that is cooked, from young chicken to
snail on toast, grease and garlic are
used galore, till every human being you
meet seems to perspire the former as
freely as he smells of the latter.
Everywhere in Brazil ierked beef is
an important article of food. Immense
quantities of it are imported from
Uruguay and the Argentine Republic,
and it is stated that not less than 30,-
| 600 tons of it are annually brought in
| to Brazil. Think of it-30, 900 tons a
year of that leathery, indigestible sub
stance consumed by this scanty popu-
lation! It furnishes the staple food fol
plantation laborers and for the lower
classes in cities Indeed, it may be
called the Brazilian's national diet, fo1
it is as omnipresent on every table al
least twice day, stewed with beans
and grease and garlic, as the frejoles
of Mexico or the rice of China. An
other great delicacy hereabouts i!
bacalao (eodfish), as highly esteemed
among the Brazilians as partridge
planked shad, and terrapin in the Dis
taict of Columbia. At least 100, ,O0t
tubs of Goldfish are annually sent t,
Brazil from the United States an(
Nova Scotia, and the people are so fonC
of it that the fresh fish of their owl
rivers are entirely ignored fol
"bacalao," which is feature of ever,
banquet-as indispensable as roas
turkey at New England Thanksgiv
ing. But when prepared in Portuguese
fashion and served on the festive board
the Yankee that caught it would neve
recognize his own Goldfish, so begreaset
and begarlicked is it, and turned
rusty red by the addition of strang'
condiments and served with yams ant
cabbage and goodness knows what els
in one abominable olla-podrida which
once smelled, can never be forgotten

One Use for the Onion.

A very convenient mucilage can be
made out of onion juice by any one
who wishes to use it. A good-sized
Spanish onion, after being boiled a
short time, will yield on being pressed
quite large quantity of very adhesive
fluid. This is used quite extensively
in various trades for pasting paper on
to tin or zinc, or even glass, and the
tenacity with which it holds would sur
prise any one on making the first at
tempt. 1t is the cheapest and best
mucilage for such purposes and an
swers just as well as many of the more
costly and patent cements. Some of
the cements sold by street fakirs at 10
cents bottle consist of nothing but
onion juice and water, and the bottle
and cork cost great deal more than
the contents. Louis Glo6e-Denao-

A Disobliging Chaperon.

There are two young people well
known to the men about town who
feel mutually indignant at the treat
ment accorded them by the young la
dy's chaperon a few days ago, says the
st. Louis Republic. The young Mea
went on the evening in question to cali
on the young lady. For awhile the
chaperon did not bother them, buS
about o'clock, when the chairs of the
young people had meandered from
points on opposite sides of the room to
a point about equally distant from
each near the center of the room, the
greater distance having been traversed
bv the young man in a ratio of 4 to 1,
the chaperon came in. The chairs re-
treated, but the chaperon remained in
the room. She said she was looking
for her bible. The young people sent
longing glances across the room, but
the chaperon kept looking for her
bible At last she found it and went
out, and the young people were happy
for one minute. Then the chaperon
came back. Dagger glances met her,
but with an angelic smile she placed
an armchair in front of the door and
soon fell asleep. She snored hard, and
the young people were happy-for a
time But when u o'clock came the
young man wanted to go home, but
could not get out without waking the
chaperon. This he was afraid to do.
Matters became desperate. While the
young lady held open the window he
vaulted to the street, without hat or
overcoat.. The girl not being able to
get into the corridor to get them for
him, he went home without them, and
sent messenger after them the next
morning.

MUST BARK AT sHEEP.
That Is the Decision of an English Court
in Collie Dog Case.

Like most movements born of "the
enthusiasm of humanity" that for the
protection of animals from brutal
usage occasionally shows a tendency
to run into extremes. Here, for in
stance, says the London Globe, is
case at Warrington of a young butcher
who had to answer for allowing his
collie to "worry sheep" one of flock
which was being driven along the high
road.
According to the evidence the said
worrying consisted in barking and
"chivvyin in the manner customary
with sheep dogs; perhaps an occasional
pull at the wool was given, but few
collies would inf3t real injury on their
charges. One of the magistrates,
however, raised the question of cruelty
out of that narrow groove by express
ing the opinion that the act is broken
when dog is allowed to bark at and
run after sheep.
That causes some degree of mental
| suffering to the timid victim, and
| therefore amounts to cruelty The
collie will be amazed to hear this mag
isterial pronouncement; all of the
| days of his life, since puppyhood, it
has been his special vocation to run
after and bark at his masters focks.
There was no cruelty in ais mind; he
did it as matter of duty in the state
| of life to which he had been called.
| Nor will drovers be less astonished to
| learn that their canine assistants must
for the future jog along quietly at their
heels. But the main question, after
all, is whether sheep and cattle would
fare better if driven by human
agency alone than under the present
system.
They may be terrified by barking,
but certainly not more than they
would be by beloved execrations,
while an occasional nip with canine
teeth can scarcely infiict SO much pain
as the drover's cudgel. In the nature
of things, these animals must be
driven somehow, and we believe that,
if they were allowed voice in the
matter, they would vote for govern
ment by collie.

to carry the Central and Northwestern agri-
cultural states The democratic party suf-
fers under one grave and almost fatal handi-
cap. 1t is continually belieing its name
by permitting its baser elements and allies
to resort to practices which violate the
primary notion of democracy. Popular
government is based upon the free and
honest expression of the popular will. But
the democratic party has sad proclivity
for dsgracing itself by countenancing tricks
that are intended to prevent such express
sion. Republicans are not free from such
crimes as ''gerrymandering' tampering
with election returns and violating ballot
boxes. But everybody knows that these
practices are more prevalent and shameless
in one party than in any and all others.
They do not help the party, but in the end
injure it almost beyond recovery"

on the statute books just long enough to af-
ford its enemies the largest amount of capital
from the temporary confusion of prices and
the masses OF voters knew almost nothing
of its provisions. Two years have passed,
and the real tug Of war must come now.
The huge Democratic House, elected i'm 1890,
OH the promise of the party to repeal at once
the infamous and mOnstrOus" Mckinley
bill will have to go before the country this
fall and show cause why it has neither at
tempted to repeal that act, nor to introduce
in its stead general tariff bill on the reve-
nue. rather than the protection principal.
Mr.. McKinleys' election in 1891 as governor
of Ohio, gave some evidence to sustain the
theory that his maligned bill of the previous
year had not really effected the extinction Of
the Republican party. At the spring cleo
ton in Rhode Island Senator Aldrich, who
was most responsible for the details of the
new tariff, was vindicated and will be re-
turned for another six years as a result of
hotly contested election of April 8. The
democrats are learning that they did not,
after all, defeat the Mckinley bill two years
ago and republicans on their part, preceive
that tremendous campaigning is necessary
