Taking up the first question which dis
turbs the country, it should be explained
that tho Jacobinos, with Francisco Glyoe-
rio and Quintino Bocayuva at their head,
are held responsible for the troubles at sac
Paulo few weeks ago, during which a
great number OF important stores, etc, +,
belonging TO foreigners were destroyed.
They are also said to have instigated the
disturbances at Santos, where the editorial
and printing offices of the newspapers
we're entirely demolished, and they are al
so held responsible for the troubles at Ouro
Preto, where two men were killed and
many were wounded as result OF the
rioting which broke out there.
Briefly, the Jacobinos are opposed to all
foreigners in Brazil, and its members take
every opportunity Of showing their dislike
for the foreign population. But they ar.
already very powerful in congress and
throughout the country, and there is great
danger that they,will be able TO overthrow
the president and his government.

THE KNEELING CATTLE.

Christmas eve III old England was a
time of vigils. All were on watch, as
were the ancient shepherds, waiting for
the appearance Of the star. This Gus
tom, to some extent, yet prevails in
places. One strange belief which OBJ
tains in England, and particularly in
Devonshire, is that at midnight, at the
moment Christmas day comes to earth,
the cattle fall to their knees, as the le-
gend says was done by the oxen that
were around the sacred manger in
Bethlehem at the time of the nativity g.
Yet it is a sin to look on the cattle
while in this position or to seek to find
them so.
A custom which yet prevails in some
of the remote portions Of the British is
lands is to carry corn cake and hot CT
der into the orchards ana there offer
them up to the largest apple tree as a
gift TO the king Of the orcnards.-EX-

THE RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS.

In many parts of Russia, particularly
in provinces remote from the populous
ceEters, Christmas is celebrated more
as it was when first introduced. Fam
lilies, friends and often small neighbor-
hoods gather at one house for celebra-
tons The mistress of that house at
orce becomes the supreme manager OF
all the services and festivities, even
to selecting the young men who shall
each be the special escort Of a certain
young lady. These elections" as they
are called, coming in the season for be-
trothaIs and associated as they are with
the mystic influence Of the mistletoe,
often lead to festivals where the olive
branch joins the holly and orange

THE FORCE OF LOVE.

Hold back thy whip, o master!
Hold back thy curse and frown!
The demons of disaster
Fear not the sword or gown;
The demons of disaster
They troop to wreck all ships
Than winds of Heaven faster
Hold back thy frowns and whips.
For these, the poor, thy brothers be
Remember Him of Galilee!
What other power can save you
From evils trooping near?
From demons all that brave you?
His love alone they fear;
The demons all that brave you
What other is to stay?
Give as He freely gave you.
Op this His natal day.
By sacrifice we come to bliss,
There is no other path but this.
Behold TIE star that shineth
Forever in the east!
Behold the rose that twineth
Above the lair of beast!
Behold the rose that twireth
To bless the monarch's bower,
The same His nand designeth
To cheer the toiler's hour!
The space between the poor and great
His presence doth obliterate.
o perfect love that chideth
The heart that harbors wrong!
0 love that still abideth
To make the weakest strong!
o love that still abideth
When all else pure hath fed,
Thou art! thy strength o'er-rideth
The demons man doth dread.
TITS thine, o silent force of love,
To make lion Of the dove.

THE MISSING LINK.
Men With Tails Found in Indo-China
by a French Traveller.

The sensational news comes to- a
waiting world, on THE authority Of
French traveller, that 'the missing
link" has been discovered, and alive.
Paul D'Enjoy, an explorer, who has
been investigating a Httle-known re
gion of Indo-China, on the frontier of
AMMAN, is the discoverer.
He has been travelling in a mountain
GUS district, in about II degrees N.
lat and 104 degrees E. long. 1t is a
region of dense forests, in which Turk
savage races. Approach is often dan
gerous. Among them is a tribe called
the Moi. One day as D'Enjoy was go
ing through the woods with a strong
band of followers they came upon a
small group of Moi, who instantly took
flight, with the exception of one in
dividual, who was gathering honey
comb in a tall tree. When he saw the
travellers he came down the trunk with
his feet fiat to the bark apparently,
not using his tail, and attempted to
escape.
But they had surrounded the tree,
and after a struggle effected his cap
ture. Some of the party understood
the Moi language, for D'Enjoy tells US
that the wild man gave them some in
formation about the people. though in
terrupting his discourse with sObs and
hcwls.
All his race. he said, formerly pos
sessed tails, but they are no longer
universal appendages because many Of
the tribe had ceased to be Of pure Moi
blood through intermarriage, especially
in the case of those dwelling on the
outskirts Of the country, with taiIiess
tribes. The wild mans companions
had escaped, but they left behind them,

And saw the heavens with glory glow
And angels in the light

New life and blessing bright,
ForeWarning of the Saviour's birth

VERY SAD.

Hush, my children, still your noises,
Quiet be as any mouse,
Tune your steps to gentler poises,
Death hangs darkly DER the house.
Low doth lie your dear, fond father,
Death hath run his hearts red blood;
Cruel sapping, goes it farther,
He must perish with the flood.
Comes the summons, we must meet It
Though our hearts may break with
pain;
Yield our loved one, we must greet 1t,
Hoping we may meet again.
In that world where there's no parting.
Where no cruel steel is made
Into the sharp, incisive, darting,
Patent, safety, razor blade.

UMBRELLAS FOR THE AUTUMN.
Made in a Wide Range of Colors to
Match the Tailor Made Gown.

The rainy weather that has lately
been prevalent, running new feathers
and ruff1ing hitherto placid counte-
nances, has brought out for our con-
ISOLATION, some of the prettiest umbrellas
that have ever been displayed in the
stores They are SLIM light in weight,
and have handles that are veritable
works of art. These handles are most
ly made OF pearl or enamel matching
in, tint the silken cover, which, in turn
is made of the same color as the tailor
made gown with which the umbrella
is to be carried. Rather an expensive
fad, is it not, to have an umbrella to
match every street gown?
Deep purple is the color used for one
exquisite umbrella and it's handle is
of purple pearl, trimmed with gold
Another novelty has cover of double
faced black silk, the under side being
of turquoise blue and the outside of
black. The handle of this one is Of
blue enamel and capped with a silver
gilt ball, decorated around the edge
with blue enameled leaves. A very
nice umbrella has it's handle finished
with a tiny bonbon box, the cover Of
which is set with one large precious
stone, matching the color Of the silk
cover. A deep green umbrella boasts
a silver handle ,inlaid with green en-
amel, while plain black silk one is
finished with gold tips, and has for it's
handle a large solid gold ball set with
jewels in the shape of a clover eaf.
Handles ornamented with dogs and
cats heads set with jeweled eyes are
another novelty that will please women
who have a fondness for these animals.
