FATTENING YOUNG LADIES IN TUN1s.
A girl, after she is betrothed, is cooped
up in small room, with shackles OF
gold and silver upon her ankles and
wrists. Ifshe is to be married to a
man who has discharged, dispatched or
lost former wife, the shackles which
the former wife wore are put on the
new BRIDES limbs, and she is fed till
they are filled up to the proper thick
ness. The food used for this custom,
worthy of barbarians, is a seed called
drough, which is of an extraordinary
fattening quality. With this seed and
their national dish, cuscuscoo, the bride
is literally crammed, and many actual
ly die under the spoon.

Catholic Conference.

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-A conference
of the chief dignitaries of the Catholic
Church of the United States is being
held to-day at the archepiscopal rest
dence of Archbishop Corrigan. AT TINS
gathering of preates questions OF the
most vital Importance to the we'll being
of the church in this country are being
discussed. The convention of Roman
Catholic archbishops has been held by
the desire ofPope Leo XIII, so that the
views of the heads of the archdiocese
NAV be obtained in regard to the rela-
tons between the Catholic Church and
the various State governments OF TINS
country that have been matter OF dis
pute for many years. The interest
which the supreme pontiff takes in the
matter is shown by the fact that Arch
bishop Satolii, the papal ablesate,
came here from Rome a month
ago to take part in the conference.
The proceedings were behind closed
doors. One of the main topics consld-
cred at the conclavc is the relations OF
the State to the appointment OF teach
ers in the parochial schools, as an incl
dent in the general topic ofthe enlarge
ment of the number and scope Of such
institutions. The practice of removing
all sacred pictures and emblems from
the schoolrooms under a compromise
plan of education will be another prob
able difficulty to be solved by some gen
eral rule. AS the outcome of this con-
ference these results may be obtained:
First, autonomy of the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools-that is, the establishment Of
the right to choose their own teachers,
but only among those who have quail
fed before State or mixed board sec
ond, the opening of the doors of the
schoolroom to ecclesiastical and secular
inspectors; third, establishing the right
of municipal officers to examine the
schools in secular branches; fourth, the
support of the schools by tho civil
power and payment ofthe teachers by it,
or at least contribution for the purpose of
an amount corresponding to the school
tax paid by the parents Of the pupils.
Only on these conditions, it is expect
ed, will the majority of the archbishops
entertain proposition to accept State
aid. They will simply ask so much
per capita allowance for the children in
the State assisted schools, and in re-
turn will concede the right of the State
to examine the pupils and teachers in
secular branches, and will pay for in
struction given in purely secular
directions. The archbishops will
also touch upon the subject Of how
best to promote the well-being and
interests of the Catholic University in
Washington. The subject of the two
condemned secret societies, the Sons of
Temperance and Odd Fellows, will
also be discussed. Among the prelates
who have been appointed committee
to represent the archbishops Of the
United States in any such contention is
Right Rev. John Keane, D. d., Wash
ington University.

himself any good by permitting the

think that Governor, with all the nee

President, certainly be unable to en-

$50 armed men searching for the des-

the matter of colors, sometimes so atroc-

the matter of colOrs, sometimes so atroc-
iously blended as to ''swear at one anoth-
err in way that would drive French
woman crazy. During the few short trips
we have SO far made into the interior, we
have been amused to see ladies PRONE
nading the streets with all the airs and
graces of pea-fowls, wearing enormous
hoops, with ''pelerines, and waterfalls
dangling down their shoulders, exact cop
les of the fashion plates of thirty years
ago.
But this is a great country for the
study of anatomy, if one were so inclined,
for the majority of the common people,
perambulate SO near to naked, that the
slight similitude of ''clothes'' they wear
seems altogether superfluous. The street
gamin, and even children of people of
tolerable circumstances, play about their
doors and screech and tumble in the
streets, without stitch or rag of cloth
ing upon them, with no more ideas of
modesty than the NANCY dogs that are
their companions. At the age of nine OF
ten, or whereabouts, (Which in the trop
eighteen in the far, cold North), the
girls are partially covered by a cotton
tunic and the boys by equally gauzy draw
ers. When fully grown and arrived at
the dignity of fatherhood and motherhood
themselves-which will be surprisingly
early in life, you may be sure-their full
dress will consist of, for the women, a
cotton chemise embroidered around the
yoke and armlets, and generally slipped
off one shoulder or the other to the waist:
a short, scant cotton skirt, a string of
lets of brass, silver or beads, as the wear
Ell can manage to acquire; and for men a
calico shirt, always unbuttoned in front
and worn with flaps outside the drawers,
and straw hat.
Brazil will never be a very prosperous
country until its present population has
been greatly augmented by European or
North American immigration. OF its l2-
600. 600 people, at least two millions are
cx-slaves and nearly one million are In
dians in state of semi barbarism.
With all due respect to the hospitable
kind hearted and generous natives of the
better class, they are not noted for either
thrift, enterprise OF industry. The system
of slavery, SO lately abolished, taught them
idleness, and the fact that they have been
used to living without work has fostered
habits of extravaganza.
There are few wealthy men in Brazil
whose money did not come by inheritance,
