Dinner was announced, and they all mov-
ed into the dining room. After few min
utes the Vandals saw that Eugene treated
all alike, and that Philisamay seemed awk-
ward and constrained, that there was not
even companionship between them; so after
uttering deep Thanksgiving they began to
enjoy themselves to their hearts content
ing after it was a greater, and when the
ladies went to put on their wraps the Van

While they were waiting the ladies' re-

The Vandals was a club for men who
had nothing to do and plenty of time and
money to do 1t. To belong to it was al
most as difficult to see the Indian wo-
man behind the screen. First, one must
have done something to earn admission,
written a book or play, or explored, or
hunted in dark lands, or been prominent in
politics, something that showed one was
not In the common run; and. next, one
must be brave enough to admire in ones
own way, not to grovel before something
one heard was great unless one felt it
was really so. One must have the strength
to stand by the right in art or politics, no
matter if it were unpopular and held up
to ridicule. One must demand purity in
everything; set high standard and never
lower il a jot.
The membership of this club was limited
to fifty. and to become a member required
a unanimous vote. Many of the clubs fol-
lowers were scattered over the globe and
an applicant was kept waiting until votes
came in from Alaska and Egypt and India,
or wherever Vandal might happen to be.
The members were all bachelors, and upon
marriage were forced to resign. Not that
the club discouraged matrimOny. far from

of it's members, having eloped, brought his
f1ancee to the club, and they were married

and IL and per cent are not uncommon.
The banks charge for everything. discount
| rates are high and all of the European
banks as far as L can learn are making
money.
1t would seem to me that a big fortune
might be made by a cold storage company
which would put up such plants in the
larger cities. None of the Brazilian towns
have cold storage houses, and meat and
other things cannot be kept from one day
to another. Take Pernambuco, a city OF
10000 people The meat which is sold in
the market must be eaten the day IT is
killed. 1t must be sold before II begins TO
spoil or the market inspectors will con-
denim it.
The result is that the price changes from
hour to hour during the Gay. When the
market opens you will see over each butch
er s stall a little slate on which - marked
the price of meat. As the DAY goes on the
butcher rubs out the figures and changes
the prices, so that meat which is worth 4
cents a pound at o'clock in the morning
is offered for cents a pound at noon. In
deed, drief beef in that market brings more
per pound than fresh meat. If there were
cold storage plant the meat could be
kept as long is desired, and vegetables
eggs and fruits could be stored away to
await high prices
Money in lee, Vegetables and Fruits

tables and fruits. The state OF Sac Paulo
imports nearly everything il uses and
Cnlons anu olner vegetables are brought
from Portugal to be sold in the markets OF
Brazil. L saw apples and grapes for sale
in Rio which had come from Spain. and
there are all sorts Of tropical fruits which
could be easily raised here which are i'm

an inferior order and it brings high prices
An American ice plant in Ba hla would pay
and the same might be said OF other cities
There are number of other opportunities
here for the investment of capital and good
business brains. Brazil as a country has
hardly been prospected, and there are vast
regions which are yet to be explored.
There is only one thing that the investor
must consider, and that is that IL is not
safe to make any investment in a South
American country without himself or his

United States to drive some of the steamers
on the other side of the Atlantic out of the
Brazilian market. They formed trust last
year and reduced the freight rates on cof-
fee to about ten cents bag. When they
had succeeded and had the field to them
selves they raised the rate to thirty cents
a bag, at which it stands at present.
This same combina ton charges a higher
rate all shipments of goods from New
York to Brazil than ii does from the Eu-
ropean ports to Brazil. Some of the COM
mission merchants of Rio Janeiro find it
more profitable to ship flour from New
York to Rio by way of Hamburg taking IL
over 5000 miles of additional ocean travel,
and thereby getting a lower freight.
Consul General Seegar says that one of
the leading agricultural houses of Sac
Paulo is forced to buy its iron of Europe
although the prices offered by American
houses are lower. This is so on account of
the heavy freight rates from New York.
Flour carried from New York to Rio pays
freight rate of S5 cents per barrel. while
flour from Hamburg to Rio pays less than
20 cents a barrel. This system is carried
on as to all sorts of imporrations. The
Germans and the English fight us in every
possible way. and the Germans are by no
means scrupulous as to the honesty of
their methods.

Its Tortures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma.
tism become q constant com.
panion to all who are victims Of
this disabling disease. The PEG.
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor.
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con.
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. S. S.) is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. 1t
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.
