No COLOR LINE IN BRAZIL.
one-Third of the Population of Rio de
 Janeiro Are Negroes.

Arthur Ruhl in June Scribner's
 Of the various manifestations of at mospheric laxity none is more interest ing to South American than the hazir ness of the cooly line. This land of cof- fee and sunshine is land tinged with African blood Of the l71s millions of people in the country only some six millions are white. There were three quarters of a million slaves in Brazil when the Princess Regent emancipated them in 1887, and there are neighbor- hoods where the negro problem is a problem only in so far as life may be problem to Africans in their native Jungles. You go ashore, for instance, to buy cigars at Bahia. It was a great i place in the old slave days, before the center of industry moved down to Sac ! Paulo, is fine place still, with it's tall stage scenery buildings, painted white or pinkish or pale blue, the fronts-an echo of the Dutch visitation of long ago-often decorated with relics. You climb the narrow winding streets to
 
 quoise sea. Everywhere are negroes huge women, with enormous chocolate colored arms. in white cotton wrappers and turbans. They come swinging down the cobbe stones, squat beside their fruits and green parrots, lean out of ground floor windows smoking fat black cigars Try to take a photo graph of one and her broad, shining face clouds over with fear of the un- known, and up goes her apron over her head. In the cool interior of these houses with spotless patios and door, ways, white folks doubtless must be hiding from the sun, but one scarcely sees them. Eighty per cent of the in- habitants are negroes You feel as though you were walking through 8 deserted white mans city held by a black army of occupation.
 About one-third of Rios population are negroes. From blacks who might have been landed from slave ship yesterday the African tinge fades out through every gradation of mixed blood up to that of the cultured whites of the ruling class.

A Woman's Age.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Out in Missouri there is happy man who has been married for SO years and he ascribes all the joy that has come to him because he has never asked his wife her age. He has a suspicion that she must be something like as old as ihe is, and he admits to more than four score, but the subject has never been mentioned between them and he ad 'vises all husbands to go and do like wise
 This philosophy may have merit. It at least would have that of economy, for if a woman were never to tell her age she would never admit having birthday and the thrifty husband would be saved any expenditures on this ac- count. Unfortunately, such is the na- ture of womankind that it is not likely there would be any great gain at tho end of the year, for she would be able to get a rake-off on some other count that would make up the alleged profit.
 Why are women in this part of the world so chary of admitting the years to which they have attained? It is not so in China, where added honors come with each birth day, and to be wrinkled and gray-haired Is to be pop ular. In this country women think they may secure eternal youth either by not admitting their age or by lying about it. Not many women will admit to being over 40. It used to be that they liked 30 pretty well, but in the last score of years the woman of 40 has come into her own and is quite the so cial queen. But they don't get be- yond that so long as the hair-dresser, 6rn0 and the artist can keep at work on the complexion, while corset makers and milliners and dressmakers work on the figure. It is the feminine theory that a woman is as young as she looks and she often is willing to feel mighty badly to keep up the appearance of youth.
 What is the harm in admitting age? One ought to be wiser and better as one gets older and more attractive The ordinary man has no delusions on this subject. He isn't even deluded by the wiles and arts of women. He smiles at their subterfuges and says nothing. He is willing to dress according to the weather and he is not ashamed of wrin- kles or white hair so long as he can have peace in this world. He may find that his wife or daughters spend an extraordinary amount in preserving what the fashionable whims of the our call youth but he Is wise enough to keep his mouth shut
 Women do not grow old. They change and the right sort of woman is improving all the time. If 1t is any satisfaction to them to deceive them selves, they are not to be denied the privilege. It takes very little to make some people happy and let them have their way. But Father Time works re- lentlessly and "gets there" at last

Holly Berries as Medicine.

"The holly berry has value other than aiding in making the Christmas decorations beautiful" said Lawrence Beech of Cullman, Ala, at the Tulane. ''lf one will take holly berries when they have ripened thoroughly and stew them for about two hours the finest med icine on earth can be had for burns and chaps and skin diseases. The juice of the holly berry has been used in my family for years with greatest success. When my mother was living she used to get a lot of holly berries every winter and stew them. She would take the fluid and put it up in jars. When one of us children got burned right badly, and chapped lips from going out in the cold too much, or had any kind of skin irri- tation, mother would always get down a jar of holly salve and doctor us And when l get home and have children shall have salve the year round"

Pole Discovery Must Be Proved.

From. the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Over their lunch the fishermen, at ease In the bobbing boat, talked about Peary.
 "Why doesn't he just lie about it- come back and say he's reached the north pole, and let it go at that? It would save a lot of money"
 ''Yes, it would save money, but Peary must bring back proof"

Well. Peary, if he ever gets to the pole, will hang up his bullet and photograph an arc of his circle-he won't photograph the whole thing, because at the north pole a full day is six months long. The arc, though, will tell this story to scientists. It will be the proof that no fake has been worked"

Don't Purge the
BoWeEs-Do as Nature Does

Nature gets her laxatives from food.
If you ate plenty of fruit, coarse food
and green vegetables, you would
get laxative enough.
But you eat fine food, and too much of
it. And you exercise too little.
So it is vital that you help the bowels
in another way.
But don't use salts or pill cathartics.
Never employ harsh physic.
Nature does all things gently. Give
her gentle help.
Cascarets are vegetable They have
just the same effect as a laxative
food.
They never gripe, SO you know they
don't irritate.
They act in Natures way. Yet they
are just as effective as violence.
