Don't Go TO Brazil.

Brazil is not profitable place to go
to without capital. Our Consul at Para
utters this warning to Americans, de-
claring that "cnergy and push" are not
enough for emigrants to start with.
He says: mo Americans coming to
Para without the means to maintain
themselves while acquiring the Ian
guage and seeking employment can
have much chance of success.
THAT language is Portuguese, and
one must know it in order to find emf
ployment Para has more applicants
than positions. Salaries are small. and
living the most expensive in the world
Nearly everything consumed here is
imported, and pays n very high import
duty Salaries for clerks are from SO
to $40 a month. The uncertain and
everchanging value of the money has
an injurious effect upon trade. None
suffer more from it than they who work
for wages, for while the cost of living
is made dearer by the financial condi-
ton of the country, salaries Undergo
little or no change as the money fiuctu-
ates in value. AS to outdoor labor, no
white American who exposes himself,
as he would be compelled to do, to the
suns burning rays, wet season, could
hope to escape the yellow fever.
ut is true, money is plentiful and the
expectation of natural products guar
antees a permanent prosperity to this
part of Brazil; but no one can success
fully deal in rubber unless he has n
large capital. The competition is gre It..
In the rubber field, men without money
can play no part, unless they become
rubber gatherers, in which case they
would have ten chances for death
against life. On some of the rivers, 90
per cent. of the natives die who go
there.

Missouri Preachers for London.

There is a demand from over the
ocean for Missouri preachers. Not long
ago the Rev. Mr.. Brlney, of the Mober-
ly Christian Church, received call to a
church in London, and now it is re-
ported that the Rev. John A. Brooks, of
Memphis, Tenn, but formerly of Mis-
souri,, has been called to the British
metropolis. DR.. Brooks is well known
in Missouri, where he was the first Pro
hibition candidate for Governor In
1884, and great interest would be felt
in his success should he accept the
London pulpit. 1t would seem that the
American style of preaching would be
marked and agreeable improvement
on the native London article, which Is
generally impregnated with fog and
covered with coal smoke, lacking the
fluency and vivacity to which Amerl-
can church-goers are accustomed. A
Missouri divine in London would
change the atmosphere for large dis
tence around the sacred desk.-Kansas

DOG SLEEP-WALKERS.
One Canine Struck n Doe Trail and

One canine STRUCK n Ioc uno
Was Gone for Three Days.
The story in the Sun of the Denver
woman who had been sleep walking in
way to astonish folks reminded a
group of sportsmen who were sitting
in Broadway gun store last Monday
of several instances when dogs, or
cats, had done things almost as re-
markable. One of the stories was told
by n man who had used n pointer In
hunting quails in the South.
"He was a fine dog, Seth was" the
sportsman said. "He could wind a
quail further or road one faster than
any other dog ever used, and he was
so steady that one couldn't see him
breathe. He was n great dreamer, and
used to do all sorts of things. One
night he lay down before the fireplace
on n bear skin got down in Missouri.

thankful he was In house, 1t whistled
so cold like. The wind quieted down
a little and then Seth began to get I'M
easy. He began to kick and whistle
with his half-open lips. Pretty quick
he got up and began to creep across the
floor, foot by foot, going slower and
slower Then he stopped dead still, In

looked about him; then with hanging
head he came over to where l was sit

I'd petted him a little"
man who had hunted deer with
dogs in Minnesota told about big
white and black spotted hound that he
had used in his sport:
zone night" he said, "we were sit
ting or lounging before n big log fire in
camp up on a lake, | won't say where,
because there's lot of game there yet.
Old Rove was lying n little ways from
the fire, snoring as all hounds do, when
h suddenly jumped to his feet and be-
gan to snuff around. We could see he
was asleep by his eyes. He ran here
and there and then struck the trail
Sam, my partner, had made while
dragging a doe in that afternoon, and
away he went in full cry When he
was out of sight in the brush beyond
the fire light Bill gave a yell for the
dog to come back-he was afraid the
dog would get lost. But the dog kept
on and was out of hearing beyond a
spur of mountain in n few minutes.
Three days later the dog had not yet
returned to camp. Bill and l went still
hunting to another lake ten miles
away, intending to stay all night, but
we didn't. We found Rove lying beside
brook seven miles from camp, half
starved, with ribs showing like ones
fingers. We fed him all the stuff we
had to eat and then led him to camp.
We tied him up nights after then"
All the sportsmen had seen dogs rise
to their feet in their sleep or whine and
squeal. A few had seen dogs lying on
their sides barking as if in full cry after
a fox or rabbit and one had a half bull
dog that used to have fight about one
night in six, doubling up and rolling

GOOD LOOKS.

There are more wrinkles in the face Of a
baby monkey than there are in that of al
old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles,
more of them can he wrought out in fair
young face by neuralgia than in that of an
aged person. Constant pain will shrivel,
mud neuralgia neglected will pillow its fur
rows deep. 1t not only wrinkles, but takes
the bloom away and gives the skin dull
and yellow look st. jacobs Oil is a prompt
and sure cure for neuralgia, and it should
be used, as while it soothes and cures, it
smooths out the tracks of pain and leaves
the skin healthy and fair again; besides it
rids the sufferer of much torment and re-
stores happier disposition. Cook looks
come only with good health, and health is
found in the absence of pain.

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist OF the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that OF thousands
of others. With the opening OF the
bicycle season many young person ana
hundreds of older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
health giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper snap or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents so spirited exercise
They would like to ride, but they are
out of sorts, run down by winter OF
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from
debility or wasting diseases for long
time until they had begun to think
their troubles had become chronic, as
nothing gave them relief, would turn
to bicycling for relief. But this splen-
did exercise, like any other, requires
strength to undertake. The blood is
out of order, the nerves deranged, and
natures food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense joy that Paine's celery COM
pound, taken now, will make them well.
Paine's celery compound works won
ders in the spring. If you have labored
under the load of repeated headaches

bility, now is your best time to get well
