TOLLS REWARD.
milwaukee Sentinel.)

It's sweet to bend unto the task
That has been planned for man to do,
If he has strength of heart and arm
To ever keep the goal in view.
lis sweet to know that in his strength
The need he seeks from day to day
Grows nearer, and that he may help
Some fellow man upon his way.
IT'S sweet to bend unto the task,
For in the task the glories lie,
If man may laugh at obstacles,
And every barrier defy.
The sleeps that lead unto the crest,
The very height, are naught TO scale
To him who falters not and holds
Thai there is no such word as fail
IT'S sweet to bend unto the task,
No matter what the toll may be;
No task is hard for him who knows
Therein is held his destiny.
And sweeter still mans work if he.
With lowered shield and battle won,
May hear, if only in his dreams,
The simple words: Your works we'll
done"

high enough to give him a profit re-
CARELESS of the money.
The cost of living in Brazil is ap-
palling. Every necessary commodity
retails for prices far in excess Of
American prices. Especially is this
true of Imported goods. 1 found that
shoes which retail in the United States
for IS pair cost from SIS to $3O50.
gold, in Brazil. Cheap smoking to-
bacco, or at least smoking tobacco that
is cheap in the United States, costs
from SO TO so per pound in Brazil.
Butter costs from rs cents to 80 cents
a pound; canned tomatoes, 40 cents to
IS cents per can, and canned fruit
from 20 cents to $1.10 per can.
The customs duties have a great
deal to do with this. One of my ex-
periences was in the purchase Of a
light buggy that cost $155 liz New York.
By the time got that buggy into Bra
I'll it cost me $3.50, gold. And so it is
in every department Of trade. The
government taxes you when you ship
things out and 1t taxes you when you
ship things in.

death has entered there are tears and
desolation. Human nature is human
nature the world over.
For the poor the funeral ceremony
is less elaborate. The corpse, enclosed
in a rough wooden box, is placed in a
bullock cart and, the mOurners walk
ing behind, with a band playing weird
music between them and the corpse,
they march to the cemetery. In all
cases in the country the casket is left
open until the grave is reached.
Our home in Brazil, situated a few
miles out of Sac PaulO, was located
squarely on the TrOpic of Capricorn.
There we were not blessed with the
beautiful twilight of the north country
or the slow rising sun in the morn
ing. Daylight and darkness came as
with the lifting and lowering of a cur
tain. the full light coming within the
space of half an hour and the darkness
i'm a space not longer. But the sky at
night was gorgeous.
l do not believe there is anything
anywhere that approaches it. The
most interesting constellation to us
was the constellation of the southern
cross. 1t is most beautiful and, if it
needed perpetuatiOn, it has been per
petuated in the flag of Brazil, emilia
ZOned on a field of blue. The Brazil
ians all but worship the southern cross,
and well they may, for a sight of it
is alone worth the long trip to the sis
ter republic. Night after night we sat
and watched it shimmering in the sky,
a great beacon set on high for the
guidance of those who sail the sum-
mer seas

Cost of Living Excessive.

We managed to live comfortably in
Brazil, though living was expensive.
From our own orchard came oranges,
lemons, tangerines, bananas and the
purely tropical but delicious ameashas,
abTacottis and jacatacabas. Also there
were grapes and pineapples. From the
United States l brought vegetable
seeds and, thanks to an elevation of
200 feet and d remarkably fine eli
nate. 1. had splendid success in rails
ing them.
They get you "a-going and a-com-
ing" in Brazil. When you arrive you
pay exorbitant duties on everything
you bring, and when you depart you
must pay the steamship company SO
in addition to your passage money.
This little SO graft goes back to the
government. The excessive tariff and
the fiuctuating circulation mediums
are responsible for the high cost of
living. A milreis may be worth 80
cents gold today and only 80 cents to-
morrow The cost of exchange varies
from ten TO twelve reis (only a few
cents) to as high as two milreis to the
dollar. The merchant makes his prices
