Brazil is not a young countr,
economically. 1t has been occupied b,
whites for three hundred years ant
from the earliest times has yielded
large revenues. Bahia, Pernambuco
and Rio Janeiro are the Oldest cities
In the early days they were the cen
tiers of an extensive sugar trade ant
the outlets for the products of the
mines of the interior.
The centers of the latter-day deyeL
opment are Para and Manaos, in the
rubber country, and Sac Paulo, in the
coffee belt. In both districts the prog
ress and accumulation of wealth have
been wonderful.
Sac Paulo is by far the most popu-
lous and prosperous State in Brazil
1t has a population of 100000, be-
ing one seventh Of the total population
of the country. About 100000 acres
are under cultivation as coffee fazen-
das. The industry is maintained in a
state of stable prosperity by the sys-
tenn of valorisation instituted by the
few years ago. This
legalizes the purchase of coffee by the
State and enables growers to find i'm
sale for their output without
Cutting the market when the crop is
large as 1t has been more
than once in recent years. The meth
cd is not without its dangerous fea-
ture, however. The State has already
accumulated a supply in excess of
s 100000 bags, and, unless a short crop
occurs within the next few years,
loss is inevitable. Then, of course,
cost of storage and interest on money
sunk in this protective investment
must be considered.
Coffee is best grown in an altitude
of about 1000 feet and, as the efforts
of the Paulista landowners and CAPT
taists have been concentrated on cot
fee growing for thirty years, the fertile
valleys of the State remain neglected.
There is great opportunity here for
diversified agriculture in the midst of
a prosperous community, and with
easily accessible markets.
The city of Sac Paulo is great

Ithey compose one-third of the pOpula
tion of the State. The city IS connect

lstant business with the capital. There
us marked difference of spirit in the
people of these cities. In Sac, bust
ness is the all absorbing subject; in
Rio greater attention IS paid to social
affairs, literature and pleasure. Never
theless, the young city is justly proud
of its educational facilities, which are
second to none in Brazil
Sac Paulo is pronouncedly up to
date and it's improvements have large
ly been carried out by American cor
porations. 1t has handsome build
ings, beautiful parks, electric car serv-
ice and lights, and one of the finest
theaters in South America. The city
stands at an elevation of 2,666 feet
above sea-level and at distance of
fifty miles from Santos, which is its
port. A splendidly constructed and
equipped railroad connects these
points. From the base of the noun
tain on which Sac Paulo stands, the
railroad makes an ascent to the city
of five miles, with grade of eight
per cent. Trains are operated on this
line by means of a cable that derives
its power from three stationary en-
gines. All the products of the interior
of the State find their way to Santos,
and all the goods shipped to that port
are carried inland over it. Santos is
a clean, progressive modern city, with
a population of $4,000

are the large landowners, descended

They live upon tfeir fazenGas, or

A marked characteristic of
the Brazilian gentry, and one which
must have a favorable influence on
the future of their country, is their
almost universal love of rural life.
This taste extends even to the young
men, who, when their education is
complete, will willingly leave the city
for the fazenda. The merchant who
has secured a competency retires to
the country and its life of otium cum

The foreign population is large and
finds an easy foothold among people
who have little taste for business life.

fraternize. The other foreigners mix

ties, and forms a considerable item
of commerce. Yerba mate has been
priced as a beverage by the Indians of
South America since time immemorial.
The mate IS a small tree. Its fleshy,
heart-shaped leaves have aromatic
properties which are extracted by in
fusion. The liquor is sucked from a
gourd through bombilla, or reed. The
gourd is passed in turn from one to
another of the company, and to de-
cline it is a breach of good manners,
even on the part of a foreigner. The
tea has a bitter taste but is very
stimulating. 1t is said to have no bad
effects and the hope is entertained
that it will be ultimately used in

able of men and the most gracious OF
hosts. Each member of his family
which is always a large one, vies with
the others in paying attention to the
guest, even though he be the most
casual of visitors. A stranger might
spend lifetime living among the
fazendas of Sac Paulo, and enjoying
the best in the land, without exhaust
ing his welcome.
Farther south, very different pop
ulation is found, resulting from an
immigration of French and German
peasantry In this case, as in that
of the Italian immigration to Sac
Paulo, the Government of Brazil and
the local administration have induced
the movement by subsidies and vari-
Gus inducements. Whether these alien
elements will ever become assimilated
is an open question. Their congrega-
ton in colonies composed of their
own kind is decidedly detrimental to
such a result.

the abolition of slavery, considerable
negro population is to be found. They

In the north, in the province of
