Not long ago DR.. Edward Brooks,
the genial superintendent Of the Phil
adeIphia public schools, was asked by
one Of his youthful friends TO listen
TO the Iatter's rehearsal Of a lesson
in which there was a reference to
Atlas. do you know who Atlas
was?" asked DR.. Brooks. ayes, sir.
He was a giant who supported the
world" "Ah! Supported the world,
did hep" went on the superintendent.
"WeI, tell me who supported Atlas" +"

Thus, the state of Minas Geraes has
81 members, while several states have
only four representatives. The state
of Sac Paulo is represented by %
deputies. The members are elected
by popular vote every three years.
The senator's are also elected by pop

terms of one-third of the upper house
expire every three years. When the

The republic has been in existence
only since November IS, 1889, but it
bears the stamp of stability, and its
citizens refer to Dom Pedro and the
empire as though these had been mat
ters of past ages. When the royal
family Of Portugal fed TO Brazil in
1915 and founded the kingdom, the
Roman Catholic church was estab-
Iisbed there. and when Dom Pedro
was chosen perpetual defender" the
established religion Of the country
was the Roman Catholic. When the
republic was declared all connection
between church and state was abol-
ished, and, although there are only
about 10000 Protestants in the re-
public, against about 15,0O0,O0O RO-
man Catholics, no obstacles are
placed in the way of the minority as

Of an exceedingly painful nature. the

serious one. and, With proper care, Mr..

royey. of cartridges and We're following
them through the brush. Mir. Iobson's
brother, Mr.. DeGraffenried Hohson. had
Just Brought down q bird and was re-
loading for another shot, when the
weapon Went OFF in some inexplicdbIe
way. the solid load striking Mr.. Gra-
ham IIohson. who was near by, carrying
away the clothes and about half an inch
OF flesh in a spoon-shaped wound on the
front OF his abdomen. II was very
shocking and painful wound and seemed
very dangerous, but the abdomen w&s
not penetrated. and as the wound was
quickly dressed there does not seem to
be any danger Of blood poisoning or
other complications. the patients nerves
being steady and quite capable of sns-
tanning the shock.
