Poor weight, that had 20 be my care

The dearor look than laughter,

Free free--to breathe first breath again, tho

Goodnight, hearts grief and rest you there
Until you're sure tomorrow;
Here's only place for that wide air
More old. more young. than sorrow.
And though hear, from far without
These caging winds keep revel,

 Statistics of the various countries are remarkable on this point. In Ger many only 113 out of 1,o00 males reach the age of 50, while more than 300 of 1000 females reach that age.

GERMANS IN BRAZIL

New York, May H. A special tc
the Herald from Washington says
Three hundred thousand Germans
have landed in Brazil, according to a
report received at the State Depart
ment from Consul General Zeguer
stationed at Rio Janeiro. This report
Is In answer to letter sent by the
Department last GUNNER directing him
to submit statement regarding for
eign population In Brazil. He submits
the following report showing the mum
Der of foreigners in Brazil:
Italians, 100000: portuguese, 500,
900; Germans, 100000; Spanish, 100.
900; Poles. 5000: French. 10000 Eng
fish. 500: North American, 5000; Other
nationalities, 100000.
One OF the best Of the foreign set
Elements of Brazil. Mr.. Zeguer says
Is that of the Germans at Blumenau
In the State of Santa Catharina. In
spite of liberal inducements. this co
lony received only 10000 immigrants
during the last fifty years. Under the
monarchy Mr.. Zeguer reports, strong
efforts were made by the National
Government to obtain colonists from
Europe. especially from Germany. II
cannot be said that these efforts were
conspicuously successful. The Ger.
man Government prohibited immigra
ton to Brazil until 1896. when the pro
hibition was removed. Besides the
province Of Santa Catherine there are
many German subjects in Rio Grande
do Sui. Mr.. Zeguer closes his report
by saying that as rule only a small
percentage of the colonists. one or two
per cent. preserve their original ma.
tlonality.
