The champion mean man paid San

Post Of that city. He was q big, long
legged, raw-boned fellow, with a nose
like the blade of Ratchet. His eyes,
like little black beads, were set within
half an inch of each other and glistened
and CLEANED at everybody and every
thing at once. He clutched the arm OF
a sad-faced little woman with long,
bony hand and clawed at his whiskers
with the other as he ordered the waiter
In Market street restaurant to give
him a cup of coffee. The waiter
brought 1t with some bread and butter
and laid down check for ten cents
'Would you give me an extra pitcher
Of cream?" asked the mean man. The
waiter brought it.
"Yes, by the way, give me q cup Of
hot water, will you. please?'
The waiter brought it and watched
the mean man curiously. He poured
the cream into the hot water, put . lit
tie sugar in it, showed Il to his wife and
flung one slice of bread without butter
IN her direction. The little woman ate
1t hungrily and the waiter added Eve
cents to the mean mans check
The row was heard three blocks up

And there the scheme is likely to
end. The report will be printed, and
possibly debated. But it is quite GER
tain that the new capital is to-day as
far Off as it was before the commission
ers set out on their travels. For to
build even the bare outlines of a gov
eminent city would cost more millions
of milreis than Brazil can obtain credit
for on the money markets. Railways
must, in the first place, be constructed
to the chosen spot. Offices for the stato
business, legislative buildings, and a
host of similar necessities must be pro-
vided, even if private enterprise erected
hotels and houses, and municipality
which does not exist undertook to Law
out roads, make drains, erect gas and
water works, and generally constitute
this capital in the outer world fairly
habitable. And, of course, barracks
would have to be built, otherwise
change OF government might be sud-
denly precipitated by the opposition
playing Cromwell on large scale, by
not only turning out the legislature,
but-what would be much worse-by
putting the late officials in Jail, and
their adherents in the posts recently
filed by them. All this, it may be
added. is apart from the endless polite.

uciro-A Project That Locks
vezy Unpromising.

After leisurely searching for more thar
two years. the scientific commission ap
pointed to find site for the new Bra
lillian capital has reported. And as no
body except themselves knows any
thing about the chosen locality, thei1
data, if not their conclusions, will, Nc
| doubt, be received with all the respect
due to SO well discussed question.
| Naturally, the first point to be consid
cred is whether Brazil needs a new
capital. In Rio de Janeiro it has a
splendid city, of historic fame, with all
the buildings and other Offices required
for a seat of government, SO that to
people less endowed with a mania for
brand-new constitutions than the
quondam subjects of Dom Pedro il may
seem as needless for the Brazil
ian federal rulers to leave Rio
as it would be for the monarchial
ones to leave London for the Wolds,
of Yorkshire. But Brazil "enjoys"
home rule to such an extent that every
state or province is in itself little re-
public, which-as the world is by this
time aware-is at intervals struggling
to break loose from the rest of the con-
federation. Each of the provincial capt.
tails is naturally jealous of Rio, and Of
the splendid opportunities which the
local politicians of that city have for
place, and pelf, and pronuncianientos.
Hence the cutlery, says the London
Standard, for more centrally situated
capital, the inhabitants of which shall
be less subject to corrupt influences
than those of a great city like the pres
ent metropolis The result was the
appointment of . commission Of geolo-
gists, engineers, meteorologists,d doctors,
astronomers and political economists,
to report on some desirable locality for
this ideal capital, with goodly guard
of soldiers to protect them, in case the
wild Indians of the interior might en-
terrain prejudice against the disturb
ance of their primeval forests. Twenty
thousand pounds was voted for the ex-
penses of the party, the consequence Of
whose impedimenta required the serv-
ices of one hundred and eighty horses,
mules and asses. Brazil is, however,

She Lies Buried In a Nameless Grave In
Greenwood Cemetery.
Only those who are thoroughly con-
versant with the innumerable high
ways and byways of Greenwood ceme-
terry in Brooklyn know Of a section
called 1.-THE Hill Of Graves" The sec
ton. says the Ladies' Home Journal,
derives its name from the fact that
nearly forty thousand unfortunates are
buried there in rows Of fifty. One
would never think of looking for spot
of interest in that locality. To End
any particular grave in this public
burying ground one needs the aid of q
cemetery guide. And even such a
guide has difficulty, since the graves
are known only by numbers. Upon
looking at the records of the cemetery
1t was found that the special grave de-
sired in this instance was in public lot
No. 5000, and that the number Of tho
mound was sos. When the grave was
found it was not unlike the thousands
around it. The mound WIS sunken and
the grass, once green upon
1t. is long since dead. A small white
marble stone stands at the head. upon
which Is inscribed: Mother and
Grandmother" Nothing is there to
indicate the fact that underneath that
sunken mound lies all that is mortal of
beautiful Mary Duff, to whom the poet
Thomas Moore offered his hand and
heart, whose beauty he immortalizedi in
his verse, and who, in the maturity of
her career. won the applause of thou
sands upon thousands of people whom
her name attracted to all the great
theaters Of Europe and America, as
one OF the most gifted Of actresses.

Common Dish Among the indians Of

On the verge of Death valley. The
Piutes are known as the white Arabs

lizard flesh, which they consider great.
luxury and which they catch On the
borders of the valley. These lizards
are about two feet long. The Indians
cali them "chahwalla" and roast them
as caught between hot stones. White
men eat them, too, but dress them and
boil them over sagebrush fire. They
are said TO be very good eating and to
taste quite like frogs legs.
There are no birds in this naighbor-
iood save the weird, mysterious raven,
whose ominous voice fitly croaks the
fatal entrance of those who brave the
terrors of the valley. Howling coyotes
add their harsh cries to the sum OF
horrors about the place. Curious rep
tiles, uncanny and hobgolin in appear
ance, are found here. The most deadly
creature next to the ella monster is
what the natives call ''side winker"
snake, which is peculiar to this
desoIate desert. It is RATHER
about twenty inches long, which
moves from side to side with start
ling spring instead of gliding along.
Moreover, It has horns, and I don't
know but hoofs, too. 1t is assuredly
of the evil one. Scorpions, tarantulas,
rats, horned toads and gnats lend their
aid to render Death valley the most ap-
palling place on earth. There are
mice, too-mice which live upon cent?
pedes-and there are rats with huge
ears, sight to scare the dogs.
