Street Car RoIes OF Rio.

There are first and second class
street ears, writes Albert Hale In the
Reader, and I, with a package In my
arms, had taken first class bond, as
a street car is called in Rio de JaneirO.
Scarcely had I done so when the con-
ductor requested me to transfer to a
second class car whenever it might
come along, because no one Is allowed
to carry anything greater than a lap
satchel first class. So humbly de-
scended and had either to mix with
market women and sweaty laborers or
to take tilbury. A. tilbury, named
after the English maker who years
ago introduced it, is a curious two
wheeled, light springed cab, like: an
old fashioned gig, and resembles a
hanson without the attachment for
the driver. He sits inside the tilbury.
A person without necktie Is no more
allowed first class on the street cars
than was with my parcel. They are
decidedly particular in Brazil and In
herit many fastidious ways from the
time of the empire, when dress and
manners We're the mark separating the
.aristocracy from the working classes.

The Battle Of Redonda.

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter OF
perhaps q hundred miles. was fought
the most wonderful naval battle in all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy in the early morning, when
the sea was covered with thick mist
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly culver.
Ing with spasms caused by the shock
Of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots, which sound.
ed like bombardment, seemed to fall
short or 60 wide of the mark, for not
2ven q splash of ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle OF
the forenoon, when the fog lifted. re-
vealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels of the enemy, but a great rock
standing out Of the sea. They had been
firing at it for five hours, and the sound
Of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall of granite.
They named the place Redonda, which
means sent, rolled or driven back, and
Redonda it is to this day.

Proper Breathing.


According to a lecturer on health,
people that breathe through the mouth,
habitually neglecting the nose, the
proper channel for the air supply,
"have short upper lips, fat cheeks, 1r-
regular and decayed teeth, pigeon
chests, pointed chins and pointed or
upturned noses"-a dreadful list of
dire penalties, in truth, fearful enough
to convert us all in a moment, yet
greatly exaggerated, Of course. How
ever, as we have heard many times,
usually never needing as we pass by,
it Is decidedly injurious to breathe
through the mouth. Moreover, if we
stop to consider bit, we shall be able
to see for ourselves several common
sense reasons that ought to make us
supply our lungs with air through the.
nose. Taken in by way Of the moutht
the air reaches the lungs by much
shorter route and without the beneficial
warming and cleansing. process so we'll
afforded by the longeN'hasal passage.
In winter especially should we take
care to breathe only through the nose,
thus lessening greatly our chances Of
taking deep seated colds. It Is merely
q matter Of habit and simply Ques.
ton Of trying after all.

One of the Family.

James Seymour, the artist. was born
In London in 1902. He displayed a
fondness for drawing and painting in
boyhood and subsequently, gained CO
lebrity By his skill in designing horses.
Once the pKoud Duke Of Somerset en-
ployed Seymour to paint room at his
seat in Sussex. with the portraits Of his
running horses. Having admitted the
artist to his table, he one day drank to
him, saying:
''Cousin Seymour, your health
The painter replied, my lord, / real
" believe that have the honor of be.
ing Of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride Of the duke SO
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however,
that NO one in England could complete
the pictures begun, he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sponded to the message in these words:
- my lord, I will now prove that I am
of your grace's family. Cor won't
