down and rests il on the bottom. For the
baskets are so large that all others must
stand out of the way while the porters go
through. All the porters are men, mostly
Italians. Among the market sellers are
many negro women. some of whom wear
turbans. They wear low-necked dresses
and their arms are bare to their shoulders.
Not few still bear the wounds OF slavery

sell. and they are, l am told. very sharp

In the Cafes.

There are restaurants and cafes near the
market There are, indeed. cafes every
where in Rio The people drink coffee as
the Germans drink beer. They Drink so
much that it gets into the compl, xions and
every other man you meet is coffee colored.
Some are jet black some are brown and
some sailOw, but all are darker than ma
ture made them. The usual price for cof-
fee is a cent and a half a cup and for this
You get coffee fit for a king. 1t is freshly
made and it Stirs up your nerves like a
cocktail. 1t is perfectly black and Is
poured directly from the stove into the
cups. The usual cup Is about as large as
an egg cup and the black fluid which goes
into il is of the consistency of Vermont
maple strip it is thinned by our dear
Yankee friends for the market. As to the
sweetness. This is produced by half filling
the cup with cane sugar, the sort used in
Brazil, and sweeter than the beet sugar We
buy in the lump.
Drinking such coffee has a serious effect
upon the nerves, and as the Brazilians
drink all day through they are among the
most nervous of people. They are never
still If you see a man in a cafe with his
feet on the floor in nine times out of ten
one of his legs is bobbing up and down as
though he were running eevtrss rs<sS4ss-a-.
If he tries to rest his muscle he can do so
for only few moments before they begin
to twitch and move about in all the antics
of Saint Vitus' dance.
Another thing which Is conducive to ner-
vousness is smoking. Next to every cafe
is a cigarette shop. Nearly every one you
meet has a cigarette in his mouth. The
people smoke them between the courses at
their meals and the majority of the men,
women and children are saturated with
nicotine. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

The BraziIians Are Patriotic.

Each house has a flag pole extending out
from its walls and those on the two sides
of the street almost touch in the center
forming very thicket of flag poles. and
making a canopy over the crowd below
Between the poles from building to building
are arches of iron gas pipes running from
one side of the street to the other These
are used to illuminate the Ouvidor on feast
days. for the Brazilians are great for flags
and Examinations, and they celebrate con-
tinually.
1t is under a canopy Ike this that We
move through the Ouvidor jostled by a
crowd of all nations. There are Italians.
Portuguese Spaniards. French. Braziians
and English. There are swells. wearing
silk hats and long coats. and there are half
naked negroes with loads on their heads
There are lottery peddlers on every street
corner They poster you with tickets on
every block, and if you enter restaurant
they Will follow you there and thrust their
tickets into your face. The Braziliars are
a nation of gamblers. The country is honey
combed with lotteries. and every one bets
on something or at her

the Champs d Ulysses Of Brazil. II is the
great shopping street. the gossiping place,
the Rialto of the Brazilian capital 1t has
the best stores. 1t has the chief newspa-
pers and the best of everything that the
Brazilians think good.
Here there are thousands of men and
boys who come for nothing else than to
shake hands and talk, to see and be seen.
1t is on the Ouvidor that the politician
holds his reception. Here the candidate
comes to feel the pulse of the people. and
here revolutions and uprisings are plotted.
L was walking down the Rua do 0uvidor
the other day with Col. Charles Page
Bryan, our minister TO Brazil. We We're
on our way to visit the houses of con-
gress, and 1 urged the minister to hurry.
fearing we might be too late The minister
replied:
There is no danger. We are In plenty
of time and L am sure congress is still
sitting
How can you tell" asked T. Where
is the building?" Does the Brazilian flag
float from it as it does from our Capitol
when the houses are sitting?"
oh! no." replied Minister Bryan. You
can't see the houses of congress from
here. They are more than a mile away
In another part of the city. but / know
that congress has not yet adjourned be-
cause there are so few silk hats on the
Ouyidor. Every senator and deputy wears
tall hat and they all rush for the Ouvidor
as soon as the session is over
There are other things on the Ouvidor
which are far more interesting than the
politicians. The streets are filled with all
sorts of strange characters. At times You
imagine yourself in Naples. at times in
Paris, and again in the Moski at Cairo. The
street is as narrow as the Moski. 1t is in
deed 50 narrow that by law no animal or
wheeled vehicle is allowed to enter Il. 1t is
lined with one, two and three-story houses
the walls of which are painted white. blue,
brown. pink. yellow and all other imag-
Unable coiors. The roofs are so irregular
that they cut the sky line, looking like the
ragged side of an old saw The houses on
the opposite sides of the street lean toward
each other as in some of the old cities of

PeddIers and Stores.

Among the queer sights on the Ouyidor
are the hucksters. There come two men,
each with a baby crib on his head. The
we listen for the squawl of the infant with
in. As the men come closer we see that the
cribs are for bread. not for babies Each is
filled with small loaves and the man car
ries his wares from block to block. taking
trestle with him, upon which he places
the box while he waits for his customers.
Chickens are peddled about in much the
same way. A score of fowls are put in a
wicker crate and the huckster walks with
this crate on his head from house to house
the chickens squawking. fighting and crow
ing as he moves through the streets
But let us look at the stores The Ouvi-
dor has good show windows, and walking
through it is like passing through the aisles
of a museum. Here is a jewelry establish
ment. What lot of diamonds and pre-
cious stones are displayed in the windows
Brazil is one of the best diamond markets
of the world, and the people. it is said. care
more for their dress than their StomachS
You can see this better by looking at the
styles come from Paris and the goods are
marked with such prices that cold chill
runs down your spine as you look. Think
of paying 10000 and 10000 a yard for silks,
and over there among the dry goods you
may see common dresses marked 1000.
5000 and 1000 per yard. What can those
figures mean?. If they mean cents they
