WAsnIS0ToN. Dec i2.-The navy de.
partment has received the following
dispatch from Commander Pickering at
Rio:
The BRAZILIAN government has re-
quested eonsuls 70 warn vessels 10
move from their present anchorages,
and has drawn line inside OF which
Il Is dangerous TO venture. This pre-
vents the discharge Of cargoes at

This Is interpreted to mean that the
anchorage and the wharves have come
within the line Of flre Of the forts and
Mcllo's ships. and Il Is not safe to como
within that line.
The brazilian revolution has assumed
q new and much more serious aspect by
the declaration Of Admiral De CANA in
favor OF the revolution and a restora-
tion OF the empire. Minister Mendonea,
Of Brazil, who has been active In assist,

Life In Suburban Towns.

A French woman recently wrote TO
Paris litterateur asking for remedy for
the ..ene-day- y-like-another complaint.
Il live" she says, ''in . dull provincial
town, where there is not woman who
can read or talk; if read, have no one
to discuss the book with, and l have ar
rived at the desperate point of despair
where would like to bite some one.
The litterateur, according to the &C
count, did not much help her, as he
merely, in reply, admitted the fact in
quotation from De Musset, which was
in effect that there is no more common
trouble in life than the tr uble Of a com
mon soul.
Perhaps the only echo of the French
woman's wall could be found over here
in the suburban towns of large city.
The smallest detached villages and
towns of America seem to have occu-
patton and excitement of one sort or an
other that make life enduraSle. Those,
however. which are merely the overflow
of a metropolitan center are often the
loneliest places on earth.
"Ihave almost died with thc monotony
of my life" said woman living in q
small Jersey suburb recently. until
now, when l can get into New York
roftener. because my children are out of
the nursery. There is absolutely no
neighDorhood life, everybody looking to
town for social recreation: there is only
half hearted interest in church affairs;
it is as different from an independent
village as possible New York Times.

A True Bird Story.

Nv friend, James Shanock, threeyears
ago caught young lark, and it has been
pouring out its song ever since then from
its cage. and very sweet note it IS.
Some little while ago, az the afternoon
was sunny, the cage was hung outside in
the garden at the moment another lark
was caroling in the ar. and Shaneck S
bird rose from the cage. which was only
covered with fine net, and Ill lFhich
there must have been a rent. and disap-
peared in the direction Of the other lark.
Ny friend, seeing this, at once began to
whistle. folding up the cage to attract
his pet back again, and in very short
time down it came to his feet and waited
patiently while he gently replaced it in
its cage. Thee were three witnesses.
believe, in this case.
The funniest thing, too, is that about
the same time James Shanock's cat
brought him in little bird quite deli
cately and waited for him to take IL
from its mouth quite ulinjured. He is
a great bird lover. and it looks as if the
cat, like everybody else, knew this fact.

Mbx Are Slack In Speech.

We DO not demand careful speech Of
our children because we do not know it
ourselves. We rebuke them dozen
times FOR some breach Of etiquette with
a teaspoon or dish, but we do not think
to say, 'Stop-decide frstwhat you want
to say. and then say it clearly and brief
ly." We do not think of it because we
do not do it ourselves. and not doing it
we do not notice it in others.
But when we are sick talking tires US,
and when we are not sick, but suffering
from nervous exhaustion, this driveling
speech becomes indeed burden. The
tired brain droops under the food of su-
perfluous words, climbs YEARLY over the
gaps CO words omitted and stumbling
blocks of words misplaced. allows for
known peculiarities, illunlines by past
experience, winnows the words and picks
out the thought--only to find it some to-
tally irrelevant statement, some mere
overflow of low banked brain, that
need not haze been said at all.-Char

Education In the West.

Eastern states might we'll take les
son from the west in the matter of high
er education. With the exception Of
Massachusetts and Connecticut our com
munities on the Atlantic border are sad
ly deficient in this respect. 1t will soon
be question whether those desiring the
best university education for their chill
dren should not send them to some of
the great institutions in the west rather
than the older centers of learning in
Europe.
Foremost among establishments of
this kind in the new University of Chi
cago, which promises to eclipse every
thing in the way of facilities for study
ever attempted on this continent. The
buildings are models of excellence, and
no expense has been spared to secure as
professors those who are pre-eminent in
every department of human knowledge.
In higher mathematics, astronomy, en-
gineering and applied mechanics the
west far excels the east.
Even the smaller towns have public
libraries, generously supported by the
local authorities. and open in the even
ings, affording unlimited opportunities
for self education which would put to
shame New York, with its inadequate
facilities. The east should wake up, or
it will be found that this process will
surely transfer to the west the scepter of
influence, for knowledge is power. y

father kept tue Jail before her. SO in

ago it was no unusual thing for the pris-
oners to remark that they could escape,
but they were treated SO well they didn't
care to. To one of the prisoners who
spoke of the matter of escape Mrs. Smith
replied that she had asked for an appro-
pria.ion, whereupon the prisoner called
for pen and ink and wrote to the gov
ernor of the state a characteristic letter,
which is kept among the archives. 1t is

a rlreproof Ilectric Wire.

A wire.is being introduced which pos
sesses such fire resisting qualities that
the most extreme fire tests to which it
has been subjected have failed to pro-
duce any visible effects upon it. At q
recent demonstration several sample
boards were prepared. each having ar
ranged upon it samples of various well
known electrical wires. one sampie upon
each board being the new wire. All the
samples had the same sized conductor
and were carefully wired together into
circuit. 40 as to allow of their being
tested in comparison and under the same
conditions.
These sanple boards represented l6
leading makes Of insulated wires, sew
eral of them being claimed by their max
ers to be freproof. A powerful electric
current was men applied and main
tained until the conductor was first
brought to red heat, then white heat
and in some cases melted Under this
intense heat every one of the samples ex-
cept the new wire was entirely destroyed,
in several instances setting fire to the
board, but in no case did sufficient heat
escape through the new wire to discolor
TIE board beneath it.-New York Tele-
