BRAZIL AND ITS coLoRs.

In the republic of Brazil, where the
ruling language is Portuguese and a
welcoming hand is extended alike to

for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
The cult of the flag has become more
and more ardent in the hearts of
that people, and the "feast of the flag
each recurring November is celebrated
with more and more pomp and enthu.
siasm all over the immense empire and
on every Brazilian ship, wherever II
may be. In country noted for its nu
