One does not think of Brazil as a

cent. of its capital is invested in tex
tile industries. which employ 80 per
cent. of the wage-earners. OF the 1874

Island of Many Names.

The political rechristening of
streets in Paris is outdone by the
case of the island of Reunion, which
changed it's name four times in just
over half a century. In 1898 it was
Bourbon, as II had been for a century
and half; but the convention then
changed II to Reunion. Under the
empire it became lie Bonaparte, at
the restoration it reverted to Bour-
bon, and finally in 1S48 it became
Reunion one more. So the septuagen
