been here can appreciate the SHARPNESS
OF the competition. The merchants Of
Franco, Great Britain and Germany are
fighting the United States and thew do
not hesitate TO take: advantage OF such
things to disparage our trade and to run
down Americans"
How about advertising in the Brazil
ian newspapers, Mr.. Seeger?"
II should think 1t might paw some
times" was the reply. asRut I should say
1t would be better to establish here In
Brazil weekly or monthly trade paper
printed In Portuguese Such paper
would be self-supporting within six
months. 1t could live upon the advertise
ments of Brazilian merchants and ex-
porters, and It would do much more good
than the fifty thousand dollars or more
now spent in publishing so-calIed export
papers in the United States and in send-
ing out useless circulars"
OUR TRADE WITH BRAZIL.
1 believe Consul General seeger is right
as to circulars and catalogues. Those
sent here are a waste of postage. The
best way for our exporters to operate is
through such houses as have branch es-
adjustments here, or by sending men
who understand Spanish or Portuguese
to take orders and drum, the markets.
IL drummers are sent they should come
back regularly from year to year, and
they should have supply in Rio from
which they could deliver goods when
sold.
AS 1t is now, notwithstanding we take
the bulk of the Brazilian exports, the
foreigners do the business. The most Of
the importations come through English
and Germans, the chief American houses
being those which devote themselves only
to exporting coffee. The English are in
vesting in all sorts of things. They own
sugar factories, coffee. estates and have
organized dock and harbor companies.
GERMANS GOBBLING FAT THINGS.
Within the past year OIL so the Germans
have been putting good deal Of money
into Brazil. They are buying tramways
in many Of the towns and organizing
electrical companies. They own a num-
Der of large breweries and you find a
German merchant in almost every from
tier town. Down in Southern Brazil
about one-fourth of the Inhabitants are
Germans, and In one $or two states they
own the bulk Of the property. They have
large farms, and there are many Ger
man colonies. Capitalists in Hamburg
have bought large blocks Of land and

they send out their emigrants to COLOMBO

they send out their emigrants to colonize
them.
The result is that most of the importa-
lions come from Germany, and little
slice of Germany has grown up in South
ern Brazil. The Germans there retain
their language and customs, and although
they are nOminally Brazilians, they are
for the fatherland in International mat
tiers. Within a short time a direct line
OF steamships has been established be-
tween Hamburg and the south Brazilian
ports, and their connection with Germany
grows closer every year.
BUSINESS IN RIO.
AS to business in Rio. most Of the retail
establishments are in the hands of the
Portuguese. They are excellent bust
ness men, successful and honest. Some
of them handle American goods, and I
find that American goods are we'll liked
by the Brazilians Our agricultural ma
chinery is popular, and all kinds Of
American machines are well thought Of
Our hardware stands at the top, and our
cottons are considered superior to those
of Europe. OF late. however, Brazil has
been establishing cotton mills Of her
own. There is a heavy protective tariff
on cotton, and 1 understand there Is
much money in the business. I shall
learn more about this in the cotton re-
gions further north.
AMERICAN COLLEGE IN BRAZIL.
Among the American institutions Of
Brazil which are doing a great deal of
good is a college for girls at Petropolis
This is supported, 1 am told, by a num-
Der of the women of the Methodist
church, who each pay 10 cents a week to-
ward it. 1t is managed by American
women as teachers. The college building
was built by rich Brazilian for home.
It Is on top of one of the mountain peaks
Just above Petropolis, and it Is as much
like palace as any of the buildings
there. It's rooms are very large, with
ceilings from fifteen to eighteen feet
high. Its bath room is as large as the
average American parlor, with a shower
attachment. There is swimming pool
of marble in the floor. The kitchen is
walled with porcelain tiles, and on the
whole, I doubt If there is a girls school
in the United States so well furnished 1t
has American desks and the latest applf-
ances in the way of education, such as
models, maps and instruments. Its stu
dents come from good Brazilian families,
and it's educational reputation is of the
highest. Frank G. Carpenter.

CLEVELAND, O., April 7.-The men
who are still letting their hair and whis-
kers grow because Henry CLAW was NOT
elected president, find their counterpart
IN various eccentric characters scattered
throughout the country.
On fine bluegrass farm fifteen milo.
north OF Harrodsburg, KY, there lives
man, In the possession of unimpaired
physical and mental attributes, who has
not left the four walls of his room for
thtrty-eight years on account of a fool

His name is Basil Haden, and the girl

IN a MT OF discontinue he entered his
room in the second story Of his house
and declared he would never set foot
on earth again as long as he lived. and
so far as is known he has kept his word
and has enever entered another room
Of his own dwelling.
He Is the sole owner Of fine home

by his parents before the calamity of his
life, and permits no one to see him ex-

However, through his manager, several

He does his own cooking, and Turner
delivers such articles as he needs at his
door.
A character of similar determination
resides in Urbana, Ohio, where his many
eccentricities are well known. For nearly
twenty years John Glenn never wore q
coat or overcoat, winter or summer, ap-

and an ordinary vest. This, too, was the

years.
Prof J. C. Written, who led the orches-
ira and played the fiddle, is over 70 years
of age, though he looks much younger.
For more than fifty consecutive years he
has been Belfasts leading dancing mas
ter and orchestra leader, and there were
few persons at the old folks dance who
had not at some time Of their lives been
his pupils.
OF course there were many ladies pres
ent, but it would not be chivalrous to even
guess at their ages. 1t can safely be said
that they all looked younger than their
years and that they danced with a vim
and sprightliness which would have done
credit to much younger women.
The programme was in keeping with
the age of the dancers, and was as fol-
lows:
March and circle, quadrille, Spanish
and hop, Boston fancy, quadrille lancers,
Lady Of the Lake waltz quadrille, waltz,
quadrille. Portland fancy, Spanish and
hop, Hul's victory, quadrille.
The title page of the programme bore
the motto Zone year older, but still we
can dance" To each gentleman was pre-
scented boutonniere, and to each lady a

said a teacher in one Of the public
schools, reports the Chicago Tribune,
Il have been making something of a
study OF the effect of nearsightedness
in children-I mean the moral effect. 1
think 1t is an interesting and impor-
fant subject, particularly as defective
yision seems to be largely on the in
crease among our pupils. Almost all
nearsigbted children develop certain
characteristic traits. Boys who are nat
urally active and healthy are apt to be-
come somewhat soured in disposition.
| think that is because their infirmity
puts them at disadvantage with their
companions in out-of-door sports. They
can't play ball, for instance, or tumble
about, and are never sure-footed. The
other boys ridicule them, and they be-
come solitary in their habits, so, for
that reason, special pains should be
taken TO encourage nearsighted chill
dren TO exercise. Another thing have
observed is that they are always nery-
Gus and apprehensive in the dusk. That
is because they see imperfectly in half
lights, and they should never be start
led unnecessarily. Most cases Of my

THE MAD BARBER.

There were five of us hunting and
fishing in the Queensland bush, when
one rainy day stranger appeared, says
a writer in Public Opinion. He said he
was tramp barber; and as none of us
had been shaved for fortnight we
gave him half days work. About four
hours after he had left US band of six
men rode up, and the leader inquired
If we had seen tall, roughly-dressed
man pass that way. We told him Of the
barber, and he looked from man to
man and exclaimed; Good gracious.
but you are all freshly shaved!" ''Yes,
we gave the barber job" "And he
shaved everyone ofyou?" He did, and
did it we'll" Boys, do you hear that ?"
shouted the man, as he turned TO his
companions. What of t?' asked one
of our party. "Why, he went mad yes
terday, and killed man in a BARRIERS
over at Unadilla; and we're after him
to put him in an asylum" They rode
away at gailop and next morning re-
turned to our camp with the man, who
had been captured after hard fight,
and was tied on his horse. He seemed
TO remember us when he was given a
drink of water; and as he handed the
cup back he quietly remarked: 81 say.
