At tho 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.

1893, when Admiral Benham, in com.

republic. The American admiral
very soon gave the Europeans to un.

be tolerated, and kept large fleet of
American warships on guard. Had it
not been for his offices, the Brazilian

Probably at least one-sixth Of all the money
expended In the effort to produce the precious
metals is without return. This species OF
mining Is above all things the most precarl-
Gus. The mines paying for a time profit
are at length exhausted, and tho vast sums
expended for plant and machinery are thereby
lost Among the countless losses are few
enormous gains, when genuine bonanza is
found, and each producer expects that his
turn will soon come. 1t Is probably true
that among the large audience Of The Forum,
there are not fifty people who have made
profit in legitimate gold or silver mining,
while the losers are numbered by the thous.
ands, the most OF whom preserve discreet
silence as to these investments. The great
fortunes made by four or five Cnlifornians in
the working out of tho great bonanza In the
Comstock lode nearly bankrupted the re-
naming population OF the state In their en-
deavor to go and do likewise. 1t 10 like n

A LIVELY OLD MAN.

AT seventy Years he Goe5 Around the
Country Like Boy.
Old Uncle Johnnie Irish, OF Schley
county, Georgia, is perhaps the
Heetest-footed man in the state OF
his age, and he is now 70 years old.
He walked, or rather ran. from his
homo to Buena Vista, twelve miles,
for the purpose Of getting the con-
tract for carrying tho mail from
Buena Vista to Oglethorpe on foot.
The mail on this route COOS three
times a week and the distance is
thirty-six miles, which would make
that many miles to be covered on
foot every day except Sunday, but
Uncle Johnnie thinks he can make it.
He lives fourteen miles from Ella
vile. and says he has often made
the trip in two hours. On one occa-
sion he was going to Ellavllle to
meet priest, who was to pass at
certain hour on the train. On the
road ho passed man in buggy.

He seldom walks when he is on
the road. but trots, and makes six
or seven miles an hour easily. His
advantage over horse travel is that
his gait is steady and travels hills
and sand just as he does on Lowell
roads. He says he can cover five
miles In half an hour.
He is lively old gentleman, and
as spry as cat. He can relate many
funny experiences concerning him
self. He says ho used to pull the
plow while his wife hold tho handles,
and on ono occasion he took notion
he would have somo fun and began
to whicker and paw the dirt with his
feet and ran away with the pillow.

The habit Of taking headache
powders is increasing to an alarm
ing extent among a great nun Der oi
women throughout the country.
These powders, as their name indi-
Gates, are claimed by the manufac
turers to be a positive and speedy
cure for any form of headache. In
many cases their chief Ingredient IS
morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having
tendency to deaden pain. The
habit OF taking them is easily formed,
but almost impossible to shake of.
Women usually commence taking
them to relieve a raging headache
and, finding it successful, soon re-
sort to the powder to alleviate any
little pain or ache they may be sub
jected to, and finally. like the NOR
phino or opium fend, get into the
habit OF taking them regularly,
imagining that they are IN pain il

The Fourth of July is celebrated by
Americans in nearly every country
under the sun where fortune has
wooed them. Even in the wilds of
Darkest Africa the day is always re-
membered by the natives as the birth
day of a nation far across the sea from
which comes the commercial man, who
gives them yellow gold and bright
silver for their ivory and shells. OF
all white traders visiting the tribes of
Central Africa the Americana are most
highly esteemed by the black men.

SOMETHING IN HATS.
STYLISH lEADGEAR FOR SUM-
hER GIRLS.
Fen and Ink Sketches of Designs Which
Will Soon bc All the Rsge-The
Girl Who Flirts Some Household
Hints

1t is the unexpected which happens
in the millinery world this season.
Nothing occurs as it should. Crowns
lose their dignity through loops of
gay ribbon which peep from their
very midst; sombre hats of black lace
and jet burst into brilliance by sud-
den dash of color. while the flow ers
that bloom this spring are u sad parody
on nature. Instead of pink roses
black ones uncurl their petals to the
popular gaze, and, worst of all, these
melancholy flowers are sprinkled with
jet An eccentric apology for mig
nonette is the flower most in favor at
present A liberal use of frosted Jet
and fine spangles has wholly disguised
the homely little favorite of the old
fashioned garden.
1t is interesting to note the mater
ials of which these new hats are com
posed. Colored straws and braids are
much in evidence. Two-toned effects
are favored. Lace hats are worn and
jet brims or crowns are much the fash
ion. hat which is begun with the
idea of being a dainty lace creation
just as likely as not is apt to end with
an edge of straw braid and have bands
of jet insertion running zigzag over
the crown.
CHIP hats of pancake shape come in
all tints of the rainbow. They are
sprayed with jet or gilt spangles, and
then bent into the shape most suited
to the wearer. To the woman of un-
certain mind, these hats are bless
ing, for if one shape is not all her
fancy painted it another may be de-
veloped while she waits Hats of two
toned braid, one color cleaning
through the other, are quite the fash
ion. A hat which illustrates this idea
is made of dark blue fancy braid, with
scarlet braid beneath it. In shape it
is round, with rather broad brim and
low crown. On one side is bunch of
vivid carnations, while at the other
bachelor buttons are arranged in a
cluster. Loops of straw braid in the
two shades are intermingled with the
flowers. With the always popular
serge suit, this hat would look partic-
ularly well.
The economical young woman will
be glad to learn that the fancy straw
braids, SO much the vogue this year,
may be bought by the yard. They
average from 60 cents up, and come in
all the popular colors, If the eco
nomical maiden possesses also an in
ventive mind she can buy the braid,
and not only trim her summer hat
but shape it as well. THIS obviates
