1 know of no country where gilded dreams may become sentiment realities to the extent that is possible in the Brazils. nor of any land where the pre- affections of a primitive race may be surfeited to a greater degree of satiety than is proffered the citizens of the ham shaped republic that lies just south
 of the equator. l. is like cloying the childish, yet mate femne fancies of a savage princess by arraying her in raiments of the softest. rarest and most costly fabrics.
 Most people are proud when able to erect palaces or mansions of granite yet though all of the edifices of the Brazlleiro are constructed of this ma terial, the precious stone is invariably hidden under coating of stueco. The climate is conducive to the preserva- tion of paint and the exteriors of the houses are elaborately adorned with frescos and handicraft of the artist. The luxuriant gardens and extensive grounds are surrounded by miles of walls fashioned of artieifcial stone, many representing log fences in the knots of which flowers are planted and all have superimposed troughs filled with a floral display. l knew one man who expended over $100900 on his resi- dence and then leased it as a seminary, the rent of which was simply the educa ton of his two daughters.
 Most of the piazzas and balconies are with orchids of perpetual bloom. This queenly flower grows wild in the woods and the tree limbs to which they cling are merely sawed off. brought to the mansion and suspended to the caves of the piazzas where they grow the year round.

 This indicates refinement of the most sensitive character and yet when we ap- proach what Is deemed the necessary comforts in our country, we find the devices most crude. None of the pri vate houses contain bath The touches, as they are called are general lv large square tanks submerged in the ground some distance from the house and their only walls or media of privacy are the surrounding elumps of bamboo. Water is conveyed in bam- boo pipes to the tanks in which the hather stands and permits the fluid to .rickle over his or her body. Water for culinary purposes is conveyed to the houses in lead pipes. but these pipes are never underground.

 owing to the hilly topography of the country in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro and Metropolis it often costs as. much to prepare a site for a dwelling as does the erection of the building itself The edifiees frequently sit in little uotehes on the mountain and many of the ho- tells so placed have huge marble let ters. 10 and l2 feet in diameter, at tached to the side of the cliff. high above ihe roof spelling the name of the hostelry which may be read miles away.

 A hand Of music was stationed at the depot and squads of mounted po- lice patroled the terminal square to di- rect the thfong of waiting carriages. The arrival of the train at the top of the serra. mile distant from the town. was announced by the ringing of an electric gong, upon which signal the band began to play as the train rolled in with an egotistic whistle and a self gatished demonstration of smoke and steam.
