Hungary during the early months OF
1898, has just been sentenced to

rated by Varkonyi was revolt against
the remnants Of serfdom which still
exist in some parts Of Hungary. In
these districts each peasant is COM
pclled to work so days in the year for
the land owner without pay. These SO
days Of compulsory labor are not sue

the land owner has work to be done he
sends a drummer through tn. village

respond to the summons. Th.reupon

LATTER the War.

General Sherman had done the best he
could for the Abercrombie place. He had
waved his hand and grim war shrunk
away out of sight; he had given signal.
and all the mules and horses and live
stock that had been taken away by the
fCragers were returned in jiffy; he had
lifted his finger, and a Gordon of soldiers
was placed around the house and the out
lying buildings. Everything was in its
place; so far as the eye could see, war had
forcibly taken no tolls from the. planta-
ton
Nevertheless, when, on a misty morning
in November, the federal commander bade
the place goodbye and pushed his army
southwark along the Mi.ledgevil;e road he
left the plantation in very bad shape so far
as Buster John and Sweetest Susan were
concerned. Something was wanting: the
place wasn't the same. The silence that
fell upon everything when the army clink-
clanked out of hearing was something ter
rible. The horses and mules stood under
the big shed and shivered dumbly; the cat
tie huddled together on the western side of
the gin house, for the wind was from the
east. and blowing with a penetrating moist
ure that vas more than cold.
There was no gossip among these animals
that people think are dumb. They had
been badly frightened by the hurly-burly
that beset them: they might talk about it
after a while when the sun Shone out, or
when the grass came; but. meantime. the
east wind was blowing, and no matter how
intelligent an animal may be, he can never
tell what that wind viii bring after ii has
begun to blow. Now the grass-eatinE ami

pneumonia. the son of Ben Ali was usually
on his feet and in fairly good health.
Well, on this remarkable day, the ami
mails in the horse lot and in the pasture
were quiet and morOse. They had been
shaken up in the first place with :heir
strange experiences. having been driven he'll

lest her calf. but after while she felt it
running along by her side, and it was
standing under her now, shivering, sEaky,
shaggy thing that looked more like a ba-
Ea-black-sheep than a respectable calf.
Anyhow. they all stood on the sheltered
side Of the gin-house, and were very quiet
as the steam rose from their backs, and the
fog issued from their nOstrils. They were
rot in playful mood; there was nothing
about them to interest Buster John and
Sweetest Susan. when later in the day the So

in all respects. There were twenty bales of
cotton stored under the gin house shed,
and before Christmas day they were sold
at an average of $3.50 apiece-cotton was
high directly after the war. This put So 600
in greenbacks in the plantation treasury
and in that, as in other things, the Aber-
crombie place was more fortunate than any
of the other plantations for miles and miles
around.
But Buster John and Sweetest Susan
didn't think so. Everybody was SO busy
even Johnny Bapter, who used to laugh
and loaf every chance he had-that the
children were driven back upon themselves

OF SITS. The harbor was filled with them.
and among them were ships from Norway.
England, Italy and the United States They
were all loading coffee and we could see
scores of negroes carrying great bags OF
coffee from the shore to the ships. The
ships were anchored along a granite wharf.
and the men walked up on planks CARRYING
the conee. On the other side of the wharf
were long warehouses. from where the cof-
fee. was brought to the steamers.
We cast anchor some distance out from
the shore. and arranged with barefoot

the ship TO the custom house and thence

and down the harbor. The water was like

the shore.
The Coffee Port of santos.
We walked through narrow streets paved
with Belgian blocks. The buildings are high,
much like those of a Dutch town, but they
are painted all colors of the rainbow. The
city is business one. There was a crowd
of sallow-faced demonstrating men going
to and fro. There were lottery ped
dlers everywhere and negroes without num-

and is visited regularly by twenty lines OF
ocean steamers. 1t is the port for a large
part of southern Brazil, and among the
goods being landed / saw rice from India,
cod from Newfoundland, coal from Eng
land and pine from the United States.
The bulk of the exports is coffee. We
went by warehouse after warehouse filed
with coffee. There was a loud smell OF cof-
fee in the air, and through the open doors
1 could see bags of coffee piled up on sll
sides. In some half-naked negroes were

ribbon of blue, hardly visible until the
wind seized Ii and tore it to tatters.

Sweetest Susan went toward the negro
quarters. followed by Buster John, and as
they went along they were even more and
more impressed with the silence that had
fallen over everything. On all rainy days
except this particular day, so far as they
could remember, they couldn't go within a
quarter of a mile of the quarters without
hearing singing and loud laughing or the
sound OF negroes scuffiing and wrestling

skins. At other places women were sewing
up the bags for shipment. Here men We're
sorting coffee. singing at their work, and
there they were carrying in the coffee bags
on their heads.
We had TO keep close to the walls TO avoid
the wagons filled with coffee which mule
teams were dragging through the streets
and upon the whaTves I saw the coffee bags
lifted from the railroad cars by great
swinging cranes and dropped into the ships.
We passed several restaurants on the
way. l went into one and asked for a cup
of coffee. 1t was brought to me without
cream, in a little white cup not bigger than
an egg cup. L tasted it. 1t was good. but it
was as strong as lye, and it only cost me
cent.
Up the Mountains of Brazil.
After we were through with the customs
examination l went to the railroad depot.
Here 1 took tickets for Sac Paulo and was
carried up over the mountain on one of
the best railroads of Brazil. 1t has the
monopoly Of the coffee transportation from
Sac Paulo to Santos and il sometimes pays
dividends of 80 per cent year The cars
are of the American style, with an aisle in
the center. 1 had to pay as much for my
trunk as for my ticket, and find that all
baggage is here charged for by weight.
Leaving Santos, We first passed through
a banana estate in which the tall plants
were bent over by their great punches of
yellow fruit. We next burst into a jungle
of tropical vegetation. On both sides OF
the road were thickets so dense | could not
see twenty feet from the track. Here and
there tall trees rose above the thickets,
and these trees were loaded with orchids of
all sizes. The orchids seem TO choose the
dead trees their favorite homes wrap
ping themselves around the gray limbs and
making them green again. Further on
there were forests in which there were mil

their weight. The forest here is tropical,
the woods being bound together with Creep

We were carried up the mountains by a
series of cables moved by stationary steam
engines, rising by three inclined planes
until We reached the plateau. Here rail-
road locomotive was again fastened to the
train, and We were rapidly taken over the
thirty odd miles which brought us TO Sac
