The immigration to Brazil in 1890
was 100000, in 1898 it had fallen to
less than $4,000, mostly Italians, Por-
tuguese and Spanish The early priv
ileges offered immigrants brought in
such an overwhelming tide restric-
tons were imposed. The cause of no
inconsiderable internal dissension has
been the question Of showing favor to
foreigners. Latin-America sends the
most immigrants; the Germans have
contributed greatly to the development
of their chosen province, and German
colonization is most important fea-
ture of present day Brazil; English
and Belgian capital has aided greatly
in railroad development and growth
of banks.
Brazil has had her share of financial
problems. The cost to replace slav-
cry by immigration was tremendous.
With the organization of the federal
government in 1890 radical changes
were made. Revolutionary movements
later in the COS added to the difficult
ties. But the ship of state has passed
through the rough waters, guided by
the skillful plotting of President
Campos-Salles and other sagacious
statesmen. Next November the repub-
lie celebrates it's seventeenth birthday,
at peace, at home and abroad. Brazil,
unlike certain neighboring states,
courts the friendship OF the nations,
labors for peace and continued prog
ress.
Brazil is an agricultural country, as
yet undeveloped. Coffee is the chief
, product cultivated, then come sugar,
tobacco, cotton, mate paraguay tea),
india rubber, timber, cocoa and nuts.
The forests and mines are of great
value, their wealth not yet brought
forward. The Industries are cotton
spinning and weaving, sugar refining,
brewing, match, paper and hat manu-
facture. The "strike" Is unknown in
industrial Brazil.
Perhaps one reason we show so
much ignorance of the other America,
and of Brazil particularly we speak
now, is because of the distance. 1t is
shorter run from Rio de Janeiro to
European ports than to ports of North
America. Our country is just awaking
to the fact that "Portugal's' Gigantic
Daughter" Is lady to be paid court to.

ago there were not more than 27
public slaughter houses in the United
Kingdom, and some of these were in
small towns. About SO towns have in
CURED debt for the construction Of
abattoirs, and perhaps 20 more nave
established them without borrowing
money for them but many of these
are small communities. The annual
receipts for so of these public abat-
toirs do not aggregate more than
100000, so that the business from
the point Of view of the Chicago
packers is insignificant. The bulk
Of the slaughtering for London, with
it's immense population, is done in
private slaughter houses under fair
ly close inspection. At Deptford and
Islington the slaughtering is super
vised 50 Systematically by officials of
the city corporation that the business
is considered semi-public, although
not in a strict sense municipalized.
Inspection is virtually the only safe
guard against imprope> food supplies
in the metropolis. Glasgow has a
series of slaughter houses at the for.
eign cattle wharf and elsewhere, and
Edinburgh and Dundee also have a
municipal system of abattoirs admir-
ably conducted. Manchester, Leeds,
Brighton, Blackpool, Exeter, Reading
and other English cities have NUM-
.ipal slaughter houses; but the sys'
tenn is not yet general, although re-
formers assert that it is likely to be-
come so in the large towns"
The Review of Reviews calls atten'
ton to a visit recently made by mem
bers of the London County Council
to Paris in study of the model abat
toirs of that city. It is Of interest
to note that private, slaughter houses
have been done away with In Paris

cape inspection, as it frequently does
in London. In London the staff OF
inspectors is too small, and detection
of disease is left to inexperienced
slaughterers. In Paris many in
spectors are we'll qualified for their
work. The system Of inspection, as
carried on at the public abattoir in
Paris, is thus described in a London
publications:
after each carcass has Teen
dressed and suspended on the stands
with stout iron pegs, which can be
seen both inside and outside each
echaudoir, it is examined by one OF
the numerous inspectors of the pre-
fcture Of police, who, on finding it to
be sound and of good quality, stamps
it in violet ink with the letters PIP
prefecture Of police). Should he find
that it is diseased, he INN ediately
reports the matter to his superior Of
f1cer; the special cart which collects
unsound meat is sent around; and
the carcass is removed, either to be
rendered useless for sale as human
food by sprinkling it with petroleum
or to be given to the Jardin des
Plantes for the use of wild animals.
In this way, not a single pound Of
meat is offered for sale in Paris
without it having been examined. Be-
| fore each carcass leaves the abat-
toirs the officials at the exit look to
see that it is properly stamped, and at
! the same time that it is weighed, in
order to claim the various dues which

A writer makes declaration with
calm conviction that since 1891 the
whole packing industry of the coun-

inspection. In the light of present

In Germany each town council has
power to erect and maintain public
slaughter houses and to forbid the
slaughtering of meat elsewhere. Ger4
man cities have markets., as rules

addition to the municipal slaughter
houses. Generally throughout Eu1
rope public abattoirs are coming to
be looked on as indispensable to prop
,er regulation. In Berlin two NUM-
cipal Strengthening establishments
were opened in 1883, which took the
place Of nearly 1000 private slaugh-
ter houses. In the United States
commercial consolidation has greatly
lessened the number of small slaugh-
ter houses, the concentration making
possible, if properly conducted, sys-
TEN of government inspection.
Probably the first attempt made
to regulate the conduct of places
where animals were slaughtered for
food was made in England in the
time of Richard II. In 1888 parlia-
ment legislated against the casting
of offal and other refuse of slaugh-
tered animals into rivers and other
waters. Then long break in at

health in the way Of meat inspection,
and the last century was marked by
vigorous effort in this direction.
During this period national system
Of municipal slaughter houses was

and in Great Britain the subject was
widely discussed, and local instances

belongs no small credit for the public
