Hotels are few and i'll conducted in
the Brazilian coast towns, although
an occasional good one is met with
Americans who patronize a Brazilian
hotel or restaurant for the first time
are generally treated to q surprise
when the bill is presented. Two
young sailors had dinner one day ia
Pernatmbuco, and,to their horror, the
bill was 5000 refs.
They nearly tainted and would have
fed without attempting to settle; but,
there being no chance to escape, they
dubbed together all the money they
had, about S12, and humbly offered it
to the proprietor Instead OF having
them thrown into jail, he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was $3.50
He furthermore explained that the
basis Of Brazilian currency is an i'm
aginary coin called d reis, 1000 Of
which make a milreis. Everything
Is counted in reis,and the figures have
a very imposing sound-200 refs for a
ride on street car 100 reis for hav-
ing your boots blacked, a million
refs for O house, and % On. It ID a
silly system, but the Brazilians seem
to think il MISUNDERSTANDING
