BRAZIL CALLED MELTING POT
EmIsrants From Every Country Of the
World Are Now Finding Their
Way There.

The somewhat too familiar desig-
nation of "the melting pot of ma
tions'' applied to the United States
will not be in the near future inap-
propriate to Brazil. The encourage
ment held out by that republic to
European immigrants and the in
ducements offered to agriculturists
are much better than this country
ever extended. Numerous German
colonies have been established in
Brazil; in more recent years colon
lists have come in great numbers
from Italy, France and Portugal,
and today many are coming from
Spain.
. The cultivation of rice, says
L'Etoile du Sud Of Rio Janeiro, is
now being entered upon in an ex-
tensive way, companies with large
capital having been formed to ex-
plot its cultivation. Gone COM

All this goes to show that while
Brazil has heretofore devoted her

longer to be a mere buyer Of manu-

Man Injured Didn't Need It.

1t is getting to be such common
thing nowadays for persons to be
knocked down by motor cars when
crossing Fifth avenue between the
Gotham and the ST. Regis after night
that the clerks Of those two hotels
do not any longer consider such a
thing out of the ordinary. A man
was knocked down there recently. A
man stopping at the st. Regis saw
him, helped him 20 the sidewalk and
then hurried into his own hotel and
got a glass of brandy to take to him.
He himself was white and shaking,
and when he got back with a clerk
and two porters to where he had left
the victim of the accident and found
the injured man had disappeared, he

tertaiament at Opera House
tuesday Evening

The annual piano recital by the
pupils of Mrs w. l. Henshaw, ar
event in the local musical world al
ways looked forward to with interest
was given at the Opera House Tues
day evening. A good sized audi
ence was present to enjoy the muse
and show its appreciation by liberii

numbers on the program, all of which
were creditably rendered The rage
of selections was adapted to pupils
whose accomplishment varied rom
those who have not started very
long in their musical work, to hose
who have been at it several gears.
All showed that they had been under
an instructor competent in every de-
partment of the work Mr.. Hen

in the work of her pupils 1t would
be difficult to give a detailed criti-
cism of the work of th.se young
people, while at the sane time it
would be scarcely fair o compare
them with older piano performers
Suffice it to say that Tot single
person on the program but that
showed undoubted musical talent;
that the lingering, especially of the
older pupis was excellent; that the
time in the four hand and eight hand
pieces was as near perfection as
could be desired; ard that the pro-
gram ar whole passed off in sat
isfactory manner and without a
hitch.
The stage and the proscenium were
very tastefully decorated with Ameri-
can flags and flowers and ported
plants. Those .aking part in the
program were: Misses Olga Hough-
ton, Doris Lee, Mildred Geuting,

Canned Meat for Armies.

In war times there comes big de-
mand for canned beef, and then the
general public has to eat what is not
fit to go into the cans, for lean meat
looks and eats best in cans-gristle
and fat are poor stuff to can, so very
fat beeves are used for the public to
feast upon these times. Lean army
meat before canning is parboiled from
eight to twenty minutes, and shrinks
one-third IN size. Fowls, game, fish,
pork and, for the matter OF that,
horses, dogs, and cats, in some coun.
tries, are all shrunk and parboiled,
like army beef before canning
