At the Brazilian Capital.

The Fourth Of July this year will
be celebrated in grand style in Rio de
Janiero, the capital of the Brazilian
republic. Among other things on the
program will be the unwilling of the
statue of James Monroe, the fifth
President of the United States and the
promulgator of the idea which has
finally become recognized as inter-
national law under the name of the
Monroe Doctrine. 1t provides that no
European power shall interfere with
the respective governments of the indie
pendent American republics of South
America. European powers religious
ly lived up to it until the summer of
1898, when Admiral Benham, in com.
mand of the South Atlantic squadron,
learned that there was well under
stood plan on the part of the Euro
pean powers to crush out the young
republic. The American admiral
very soon gave the Europeans to I'M
derstind that no interference would
be tolerated, and kept large fleet of
American warships on guard. Had it
not been for his offices, the Brazilian
republic might now be Il thing of the
past. 1t is in grateful remem brance
of American aid that the Brazilians
have for months been preparing to
make the Fourth of July, 1891, the
greatest gala day in the country's his.

Indian Revenge.

Some twenty years ago a Klamath
River Indian had a difficulty with
three other Indians, during which he
was killed, and at the same time killed
one Of the other Indians. Several
years later one of the surviving Indi-
ans died. The Indian killed by the
other three in the trouble had a boy
about one year old at the time, The
boy, being now about twenty-one
years old and knowing from his moth
or the circumstances of his fathers
death. watched good opportunity to
kill the other surviving murderer of
his father. He pretended at all times
to be very friendly with the surviving
Indian of the difficulty. but a few
days ago while smiling pleasantly be-
fore his victim, suddenly pulled
sharp knife from beneath his coat and
slashed him across the body, from the
effects of which wound the murderer
of his father died in very short time
and the young assassin skipped to
parts unknown.

CURIOUS PLANT PROPAGATION.
How Branches are Removed From the
Parent Stem.

HOW Branches are Removed From the
Parent Stem.
Some very curious processes for prop
agation are practiced at the public gar
dens One consists in cutting with
knife around a branch or plant. One
might imagine, says the Washington
Star, that the intention was to kill
the branch, but such is by no means
the object in view. The cut having
been made, piece of wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch
at the point Beneath this protection
the sap exudes from the wound. and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few days the branch is cut away from
the parent stem, being then itself a
complete plant, with roots already to
put in a pot.
This plan is adopted with plants of
slow growth, because one plant NAV
thus be split up into a half a dozen or
more of good size, instead of waiting
for a Seeding or little slip to develop
A modification of the same process
consists in placing small pot full of
earth around the cut place on the
branch, fastening it in position. When
roots have developed the branch is cut
off just below the pot and a new plant
is produced. If the gardener chooses
to take the trouble he can make a sep
arate plant out of every bud on tree.
In fact, an eminent botanist has said
that every tree is village, each bud
being an individual

How Win. spent HI. Fourth.

When Willie was about five wears
Old he spent his Fourth of July in the
house. He did not like that at all
He felt bad all day, and he was really
glad when the Fourth was over All
the other boys were shooting off fire.
,, crackers, but, alas! he was not allowed
to have any.
Oh, how hard Willie pleaded with
mamma to go out into the street.
Wouldn't she let him shoot off lust
one cracker?''
mo, Willie" said mamma: You
must wait until the next Fourth, and
then you will be old enough to look
out for yourself. / am afraid now
you might be burned and badly hurt F."
Long before the next Fourth of july
came around Willie had made great
preparations. He had saved his PEN
nies and there must have been over
dollar in his iron bank
About a week before the Fourth
Willie went TO his papa and told him
what he had been saving his pennies
for.
What inquired papa, do you
want to spend all that money for fire.
crackers?"
YES" said Willie; take it ALL
"Oh no. said papa; II will buy all
the tirecrackers you want and you can
save your money for something else
That evening when papa came home
he brought packs and packs of fire.
crackers, done up in red paper and
with Chinese letters on the outside.
Here you are said papa Il
bought some fireworks too"
The next day big box containing
Roman candles. sky-rockets, pin
wheels, etc, came to the house
There seemed to be no end to Will
lies joy, and he talked of little else
save the Fourth-what day it would
be- And the DAYS passed quickly I'M
til the third of July came That night,
after Willie had been put to bed, said
papa, with a quiet smile, to mamma:
Don't you think we ought to have
told Willie that the Fourth comes on
Sunday this year?"
Yes" said mamma; ''he does not
seem to know thrt. 1 am sure he will
be very much disappointed.
DrlBHG duu early on the morning OF
the Fourth, Willie came running down
stairs. Where are the crackers? Let
me set some off before breakfast
please do!''
Then papa had to say, mo, not to-
day, but tomorrow.
First Willie looked confused, and
then the tears came to his eyes
To-day" said papa again, lis Sun
day. No one is allowed to shoot off
tire-crackers on the Sabbath
The poor boy was puzzled. He did
not, could not, understand why the
Fourth should come on Sunday.
Later on the bells began to ring out
all over the city. Willie saw the peo-
pie going to and coming from church,
and he went to Sunday school himself
in the afternoon.
Now l have told you how Willie
spent the Fourth-in the house You
can imagine how he spent the fifth of
july.

A Grand Celebration.

Billy and Nat and the other bows
were on their way to the village to buy
fireworks for the Fourth when they
saw queer-looking wagon moving to-
ward them 1t looked like hen-coop
on wheels, but when it came nearer
they found it was huge cage with an
eagle in it.
The boys surrounded the wagon at
once, and fired perfect volly of ques-
tions at the driver.
81 took that eagle from the nest
when it was little he explained;
''and l have just been carrying it to
town to sell to the show; but the show
is gone, so Unjust cart him back.
why, you ought to let him fy!''
cried Billy. Don't you know, to-
morrow is the Fourth, and l guess
George Washington would not have
liked very we'll to see the American
eagle cooped up like chicken
The man laughed. We'll, now, if
you boys feel SO, why don't you buy
him and let him loose tomorrow? He
would go up like sky rockets"
The boys looked at each other.
That's SOL they all cried together.
So bargain was struck and they
carried the eagle home in triumph
That evening the following handbil1
was posted around Merryville:
Great silly the Bird of his
Country will scream for all"
The next day Billy and Nat and their
eagle formed the center of the cele-
bration at Merryville. They never re-

The Bells of Liberty.


Ring out, . bells of liberty!
Ring out with joys of mirth
And send the rapture Of your chimes
Around the listening earth;
Ring loud and clear that all may hear
The fettered and the free
The voice that stirred our fathers souls,
The voice Of liberty.
Ring out, o bells ring once again,
purer, boiler chime,
And the echoes of your strain
Far up the hills of time;
Ring, ring with clear prophetic voice
The bliss that yet shall be,
Say to the earth, Rejoice, rejoice!
For love is libertyr'
Ring, tunefull bells, ring sweet an clear
hymn of prayer and praise
That God will guide us year by year
Through His appointed ways
Ring, ring harmious to his to His will
For only those are free
Who in the love OF God fulfil
His law of liberty.
