There are first and second class
street cars, writes Albert Hale in the
Reader, and /. 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 n
second class car whenever it might
come along, because no one is allowed
to carry anything greater than a lap
satchel first class. So I 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 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 l with my parcel. They are
decidedly particular i'll Brazil and in
herit many fastidious ways from the
time of the empire, when dress and
manners were the mark separating the
aristocracy from the working classes.

Holiday Crowds.

For some men it is sufficient rscrea
ton to have no work. The moment
that the "knapsack of custom" falls
from their backs they are happy Not
to awake in the morning with the
thought of what must be done In the
day is in itself a sufficient recreation
Naturally, they have no very definite
taste in holidays They go where il
suits their purses or their wives or
their children. To such men, though
they may spend all their working days
in the thick of town. the sight of ma
ture never becomes necessity. 1t is
a luxury, an agreeable augmentation of
the sense of doing nothing. A holiday
maker of this type very often goes to a
watering place, one Of those resorts
which it is now the fashion for cult
waited people to despise Such con-
tempt is affectation. A number of hap
ply people create, no doubt. an exhilarat-
ing atmosphere. Well behaved pleas
ure seekers make an agreeable and
ever changing picture. A we'll kept
public garden. good band and q fine
view form attractions which no con.
tinental affects to despise, and English
people do not despise it either if only
the brightly dressed crowd should hap
pen to talk in foreign tongue.-Lon-
don Spectator.

EAU CLAIRE WANTS THE FAIR
Commercial Club May Try to Secure

Was Held at Augusta.
two children.

Eau Claire, Wis, March 9.-The
next county fair of Eau Claire county
may be held in this city instead of at
Augusta as heretofore. Leading bust
ness men of this city are back of the
move and it is quite probable that the
commercial association of this city will
take hold of the project and push it to
Il successful elimination.
The chief objection raised against
Augusta is that hotel and other accom-
modations are inadequate to accom-
modate the crowds that attend fair.
Street fairs always We're Il great
success in Eau Claire, but they have
been practically abolished owing to OBJ
jectiOnable features connected with
some of the shows that came. Thus
the county fair could be made a great
annual affair in this city. The accom-
mOdatiOns here also would be adequate
at all times. assuring a large attend
ance. The fair association then also
would become a member of the North
cln Wisconsin Fair association. which
would insure some fine racing events
here.

At Which Age.

An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an author
as to which period Of her life a
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
cording to the artist woman should
not be painted between the ages OF
twenty five and forty. as she was in
the greatest transition period of her
life. The author, on the other hand,
declares that she is at the height of
her fascination and beauty between
the ages of thirty and forty. The ques-
