Nobody win Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
l1stre to the hair when faded, streaked
AcF gray; also ends dandruff, itching

body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that

sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
Oae small strand at time: by morn

He would rather have them among his

I find that a number of the Ameri-

being pitied for their expatriation.
About twenty-five years ago sympa-
thetic wave concerning the American
colony passed over our country. and the
United States government sent word to
our legation at Rio to look up the ex-
return home. At that time the secre-
tary of legation was a man named
White, pompous young fellow, with
high opinion of his own office and
also Of the Stars and Stripes. He came
down to Sac Paulo and travelled up to
the American settlement He was met
by some of the older citizens and among
them a man named John Norris. Mr..
Norris told him that he was an Ameri-
can and that he would like to know how
the United States was getting along
now. Mr.. White replied that our coun-
try was prospecting and that he had

I ask what is the object of your visit ?"
Mr.. White replied: 1T is to learn
your condition and to tell you that
Uncle Sam would be glad to have you
come home, and that If necessary he
would even supply the funds to carry
you there"
The way this remark was made an
gered Mr.. Norris. He said:
Il and the rest of my American
friends are satisfied with Brazil and
think we will stay where we are"
II am sorry" said Mr.. White. But
perhaps there is something else that
the American legation can do for you.
If SO, we will be glad to do it,
There is only one thing that you
can do was the reply. THAT is to
send us something that will kill the in
sects that are infesting our cotton.

SNAPSHOT OF VILLA AMERICANA.

Paulo yesterday morning on the rail-
road and it was not until afternoon
that I reached Villa Americana The
country. everywhere is high and rolling,
the vegetation is a rich green, and the
soil is as red as brick dust, the road
making streaks Of blood through the
green fields. Now and then we passed
through woods which were more like a
jungle than forest. The trunks of
the trees were covered with moss and
their branches SO bound together with
lianas that it would be impossible to
go through the forests without the use
of an ak. Here and there the fields
were black. This is caused by burning
the grass to clear away the vegetation
1t ruins the soil, taking the life out of
it, and in some places the country is
barren.
Much of the farms is given up to
pasture. I saw herds of long-horned
cattle not unlike our old Texas stock
Now and then among them were bulls
with humps on their backs like the
cattle of India.
On the way we passed through Cam
