From the Youths Companion.
A charming old lady who was socially in
clined, but who was kept rather closely at
home by the pressure OF many cares. used
sometimes to exclaim, i do just love to drink
out Of somebody else's teacups."
A fitting pendant TO this agreeable anecdote
is another OF a little girl whose supper in
variably consisted of bread and butter, milk
and apple auce-a monotonous diet. of which
she frequently complained.
une day she was asked out to supper at a
reighbor's, At n late hour the hostess found
that no apple sauce. had been prepared for
10 the child's home for a supply.
The little girl. on returning to her mother.
was enthusiastic about the delightful visit,
and particularly about the beautiful upper, 81"
when she had been allowed TO pour milk
and cream for herself from the dainticst
little pitchers,
And oh, such good apple sauce, mammal

What Troubled Him.

A we'll known Atlanta minister tells an
amusing story of an Albanian who has a wife
with a sharp tongue.
Jones had come home about . in the morn
Ing rather the worse for a few highballs. AS
soon as he opened the door his wife. who was
waiting for him in the accustomed place at
the top of the stairs. where she could watch
his uncertain ascent. started upbraiding him
for his conduct.
Jones went to bed. and when he was almost
asleep could hear her still scolding him un-
mercifully. He dropped. of to sleep and
awoke after a couple of hours. only to hear
his wife remark:
Il hope all the women don't have to put
up with such conduct as this"
Annie. said Jones, are you talking again
or yet?"

Surprising strike.

From The Womdn's Home Com pdnion.
One day in Washington recently a group
OF politicians were talking, when Uncle
Joe" Cannon was reminded of a story:
There was n friend OF mine in Ohio, said
he. who once joyfully sought an oil expert,
declaring that he had struck this fluid on his
land. lie brought a sample in n bottle.
Now evidently my friend had been in a great
hurry, hastily grabbing the first bottle at hand,
for when the chemist had duly analysed the
sample submitted he sent the following tele-
graphic report:
"'Find nc trace OF oil. You have struck
paregorio."

with knowing it to be the largest and
most populous Of South American repub-

Brazil is indeed large country-much
larger than anyone realizes until he ap-
preciates the fact that its territory COW

does the United States in north, and that
in the eastern hemisphere only the CO.
lossal empires of Russia and China can
rival the dominions of this vast republic
of the south. Its coast line. bathed by
the waters of the Atlantic, extends north
and south 5000 miles, and its inland pla-
toaus in some places reach the watersheds
of the Andes, which hug the PACING coast.
This great block Of territory. which Dor
ders upon every South American country
except Chill, is situated between de-
grees 10 seconds latitude north and 81
degrees &c minutes 10 seconds south, and
while most of it lies in the torrid or tropl-
