horses he was driving became
frightened on Water street about $50

the wagon Slowing from one side of
the road to the other The driver was
flung from his seat, landing on his
back. Harold Gillespie, who happened
to be nearby at the time. picked the
man up and assisted him into Bar
slows store. His only injuries were
a cut on his forehead and a general
shaking up. The horses were stopped
after they had run some little dis
lance. About the only damage done
to the OUTFIT was the smashing OF the
eggs.

feotually slenced by the freeze-out method. Drivers of automobiles, etc, are in their worst humor. and pedestrians run over bring down vials of chauffeur wrath upon their helpless heads. Your New York chauffeur likes nothing better than to call you a select string of ugly names, timing his epithets so that ere the last one is out of his mouth, he will be well out of carshot, and almost out of gunshot. To the pedestrian it is a trying experience. and the fact that he may be able to read the number on the rear of the car is scant satisfaction. And snow makes this humiliation far more frequent.
 And after ail there is such serious side to snow in New York city that one must admit there is something akin to justice in the attitude taken toward 1t by New Workers. If one has the quality of sympathy-and there are still few avoid feeling extremely sorry for the poor of Manhattan. They suffer terribly when is snows here. The bread line one night this week included 1000 men-just one bread line, too; the one down at Eleventh streeet. You will say that snow should give many of these poor devils work to do And so it does. but when one is down and out enough to hit the bread line he is seldom in condition to do much manual labor.
 For instance, one poor fellow in this line was accosted by representative of a New York newspaper, and told that he would be given bed for the night free of charge-even New York newspapers have their good qualities-and he wept rtp bo ho oxuo a beggar, and that he had procured work that day shoveling snow, but had fainted after few minutes labor, because he had eaten nothing for three days.

size. Acre for acre. it will produce more food than the United States, and, culti- vated intensively, it could feed and clothe the whole world Nevertheless, it has only about 1S,000 miles of railways in op- eration, and something like 20oO more in projection or construction It has not one twelfth as much track as we have, and it is at the beginning of it's railway era.
 The United States is already grid-iron with tracks, and we have all told, mileage of about 25000o. It would girdle the world about 10 times Our first road was built in 1880, and the first one in Brazil was not opened to traffic until 20 years later. The most of the railways of Brazil have been constructed within the past 10 years, and from now on they will rapidly grow. At the time the Euro rean war broke out there were number of new lines under way that have since been stopped for lack of funds.
 In 1913. Brazil bought about $9,0OO,0Oo worth of freight cars of the United States and Europe. Last year she bought only $l000,00 worth, and this year her purchases will be practically nothing. She imported $l1 .000,000 worth of steel rails in 1914 and she is now buying none. Some of her large enterprises, for ln- stance the Brazil Railway company, have gone into the hands of receivers, and it will need the advent of peace abroad to reiuvenate the era of railroad construc- tion.
 At the close of the war the roads will be pushed just as rapidly IS money can be found to pay for the constructions Until now the capital for the public works or this continent has come from Europe. A large part has been from England, and another large part from France and Bel gium. The Sac Paulo road, of which | have written, is owned in London, and the Brazil Railway company, although it is managed by citizens of the United States depends almost entirely upon Franco Bel gian capital. This company has a capital of $5O00 900. It is incor- porated in the state of Maine. The Ger mans own short railroad in Santa Cath arlna, and the7 roads operating in the central states have been financed for the most part by Brazilians.
 As it is now, the government owns or leases about 1000 miles of the present sys- tenn, <. and many of the other roads have been built by the aid of liberal conces- sicns In some cases the government guarantees an interest on bonds issued for constructing the lines, and in others it gives also concessions of lands. The Brazil Railway company has received a

Now and then the railway crosses a coffee plantation. The trees cover the sides of the hills; their leaves are of such a bright green that they seem to be vanished. The plants grow well and produce abundantly
 That part of Brazil is well watered. The road crosses many streams The afr is full of moisture. and clouds hang low over the mountains and nestle in the laps of the hills. The scenery is beau tifuI.
 Much of the country is devoted to pas ture, and cattle and mules are seen feeding in grass that ticlles their bellies There are great fields of corn, and now and then one of grain. where the shocks stand up in the states at harvest time. The town houses have gardens sur rounding them Theer are orchards of oranges and lemons as well as of peaches and pears.
 Along the track you pass now and then clumps of bamboo. There are often flow ering trees near the stations. The crowds that come to the trains are typicaly Bra zilan. They are dark-faced and sallow Some are negroes, and on the whole the crowd is not unlike that at any depot in our southern states. The most of the people dress in white cotton
 The travel is comfortable Much of the rolling stock comes from our country and the cars have their seats on both sides of aisles like our cars at home The entrances are at the ends, and there Is often washroom in the middle. The engines are Baldwins imported from Phil adelphia. On the train to Rio my con- ductor was a negro as black as any you will find in the Kongo. He spoke English as well as Portuguese and was very po- lite.
 My ticket from Rio to Sac Paulo cost me over cents mile The amount was over 32000 reis, or little less than $1O This did not include my sleeper or bag gage. The sleeping car rates are about $6 per night, and my trunk which weighed 150 pounds, was charged for at the rate of s6 No baggage is carried free in Brazil. We had our meals on the train They were served table d'hote style at S1 a plate, with an extra price for hard drinks At most of the stations are restaurants and at almost every stop coffee is served. The coffee comes in cups the size of half an egg shell. Each cup costs 2 cents.

The ride over the Sac Paulo railway is through some of the most beautiful scenery of the topics. Leaving Santos on your way to the mountains you pass through dense jungle of vegetation like that at the foot of the Himalayas. Every thing is intensely tropical. The woods are so thick that you cannot see more than 20 feet from the track. Here and there tall palms rise above the other growth. and there are trees loaded with orchids of many varieties. The orchids seem to choose the dead trees as their homes. They wrap themselves around the gray limbs and make them green again. The same conditions obtain all the way up the mountains. On my way I saw millions of orchids and l could within few yards of the track They were free and I could have had all I wished for the asking. Some of the trees are bent down with the weight of the orchids. The trunks and branches are bound together with creepers and vines.
 I went from Sac Paulo to Rio de Janeiro over the Central Railway. of Brazil This road is owned by the fed eral government It is about 12O0 miles long, and it carries over 25. 100000 passen- gers year. It goes northward from the capital up the Rio Sac Francisco to Pi- rapora, distance of about 600 miles. and from Rio southward to Sac Paulo, forming the trunk lone between the two chief cities of the republic.
 The distance from Sac Paulo to Rio is about as far as from New York to Washington, and the trip takes twice as long and costs twice as much Leaving Sac Paulo you travel all the way through the highlands. You pass through beau tiful valleys spotted with trees, and in places the scenery is not unlike the roll ing parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the distance the trees look much like ours, but when you come closer you see palms and bamboos and other. tropical growth
 The more level land is devoted to farming. Here there are fenced fields with gates leading into them. The farm houses are of brick covered with stucco. They are mostly small those of the common people being of only one story and not more than 15 rect square. There are many ant hills. At first you think they are hillocks. made in the course of cultivation. They rise 10 a height of two and three feet and are often as regular as though they were made with the blow and the hoe.
