The South American brother takes in
the. spirit Of revolution with the very
air he breathes, and the citizens of the
big Republic Of Brazil are no exception
to the general rule. Brazil has an area
of 3, 3,219, 900 square miles and popula-
ton of IA, 900, 900. With Its great re.
sources and such an extensive population
it might become great and prosperous
Nation under proper conditions. But,
unfortunately, the conditions seem to be
wanting. The Braziliaus are mostly OF
mixed blood and very averse to work.
The Republic is now a little over three
wears old. The bloodless revolution
which deprived good old Dom Pedro OF
bis throne and drove him into an early
grave took place November Is, 1889.
The provisional Government, on the
model of that of the United States, had
Deodoro de Fonesca at the head, and on
February "a, 1891, a new Constitution
was voted by the constituent Assembly,
by which the Presidents term Of office
was fixed at four years. A second revo-
luton broke out the same year, however.
Fonesca was unseated and Peixoto chosen
in his stead.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Great Wool Country.

New Zealand apparently has no limit
to its wool producing capacity. There
are vast tracts of land that can scarcely
be utilized for any other purpose than
sheep runs, yet there is a great deal OF
land now used for sheep runs that could
be protitably employed for agriculture.
The climate of New L Z,aland is admirably
adapted for sheep and wool growing
purposes, the average annual increase in
a breeding flock in fair condition being.
about seventy per cent. Flocks of 3lerino
clip four pounds all around, aud some
times as hi gh as FIVE pounds. The natural
vegetation of the country consists OF
forest, fern and grass. .--American ASri'

Instead Of wasting words to unfold his
plan the youthful assassin seized knife
and sprang tow" "rd our hero.
Despite the recent protestations OF his
enemy, Cole Winters gave himself up for
lost.
But instead Of burrying the knife in
the prisoners body, Almon Sears used 1t
to cut the rope which bound his arms and
legs; 49, - .,..u .,.
fragments Of cord in the open CRATE where
fire was burning. :
At that instant loud noise was heard
in the front of the house.

ward and threw open a door, beneath
which fight of stairs was visible.
But The"

With the apparent purpose of furnish
ing evidence to still further incriminate
Cole Winters, the scoundrel threw the
revolver on the floor, pushed Martin
Bloom forward, and quickly followed
him, closing the door with slam.
The brain Of our hero was literally In
whirl.
He realized that the words Of the villain
were but too true, and that in the alb
sencs of all coroborative evidence bis
proteststions Of innocence would 60 for
nothing.
In desperation he looked abort for
means of escape.
His eye fell upon the revolver, and,
acting upon sudden prompting OF the
feeling Of self f-preservation, he seized
and raised it in his hand. r
Just then the front door was thrown
open and police officer in uniform sp-
,peared.
.Surrenderi" he shouted.
"Fire He's got gun!" cried second
officer, who stood further back.
A sudden thought struck our hero, and
he instantly acted upon 1t.
. he would initiate the action OF the two
villains. = .
In Q twinkling he had reached and
thrown open the door through which they
had just disappeared.

The foremost officer had fred, and the
bullet had crashed into the wood only
few inchest to his hight.
A moment more and he was on the
landing. with only frail barrier OF wood
between him and the officers.
. Even then, desperate as was his situ-
alton. his GOODNESS did not desert him.
Realizing that he had but few SEQ.
onds the start Of his pursuers. he turned
and felt for bolt.
To his great Joy be found large ons,
and succeeded in shooting it into its
socket.
He was none too soon, for almost i'm.
medistely the officer reached the door
and began shaking and trying to force Il
open.
=; In the brief respite thus afforded him,
Cole Winters reviewed his situation like
lightning.
As result, instead Of running down
the stairs, where his ignorance Of the
secret egress would render his death or
capture almost a matter Of certainty, he
adopted an entirely different course.
He had noticed that overhead, directly
in front Of the door, was what appeared
to be wide shelf, common enough In the
approaches to cellars.
Cole placed his hand upon It and
lesped upward.
A moment more and he had drawn
himself, up, and was several feet back
from the door.
He had barely accomplished this, when
the bolt gave way, the door few open and
two shots we're fred into the cellar. .
