Women May Succeed
The Disparity Between Men and
WOmen's Pay Often is WOmen's
own Fault in Not Trying.
BY MADISON c. PETERS.

TITLE disparity between mems and
women's wages is not always an
arbitrary discrimination against
woman because she is a woman, it IS
very often due TO difference in the
grade OF work.
Don't look upon your work as a tenn
pOrary makeShift until some man VIII
mined as the man who succeeds; be as
thorough. have the same ambition to
reach the top, and the disparity in the
wages viii likely disappear.
No woman can hold her position or
reasonably hope for an increase in sal
airy if she deVotes all the time she can
spare from the adOrnment Of her per
son 10 the neglect Of her duties
Don't expect the business world to
take you upon trust Prove that you
are worker ana a winner and the
world VIII make room for you
Many Wait for the Tide.
Many women are like the species OF
the lobster, which If left upon the rocks
by the recedinE tide. waits for the re-
turning tide TO float il from its tenn
porary prison. There on the rocks IL
would remain TO die although a slight
effort would enable il TO reach the
waves, tossing but a few feet below
There are many women Holsters, mere
hangers on OF society, who are enter
tanning themselves with the idea that
because they are women they are TO be
helped without putting forth any effort
themselves
Be proud OF your work. You need
not hang your head because of the
humbleness Of your vocation. If il be
honorable.
Be polite. II is not so much what a
woman says or does as the way in
which the thing is said or done
Men appreciate a favor gracefully re-
fused more gratefully than one granted
clumSily-
Never angle for compliments by ef-
fecung TO underrate what you have
done Be, rather than seem
Give prompt attention to those little
and apparently insignificant things thar
may cause pleasure or pain to Others
Do NOur Duty.
Whether your employer be generous
or oppressive, do your duty and seek 10
possess all those qualities which COM
mend you to his esteem.
Be as anxious to please, and as earn

business were your own. and consider
what YOU would have fair reason TO ex-
pect were you in his position and then
act accordingly

Whites Gain Rapidly.
The whites are increasing rapidly by

Many Of the immi grants are employed
in the coffee plantations, not a few are

Has No Color Line.
Brazil has never had q color line. and
there has never been popular preju-
dice here against the mixing of the
races, although some OF the leading
whites deny that there is now much in
termarriage between the whites and
the blacks. Take, for instance, Dr. Jose
Carlos Rodriguez the editor of the
Journal do Commerce. Of Rio. He tells
me that the whites and blacks do not
marry at present, although the ten
dency Of the mulattOes is TO marry with
the whites. He believes that the race
is marrying up instead Of down, and
that in time the negro Will be lost and
his blood win be swallowed up in the
white. He says there is no prejudice
in Brazil against the negro, although
Others tell me that the social Objec-
ton does not obtain, and, as far as I
can see. the whites and the negroes
move along side by side. arm in arm,
and on the same level. There is an alb
sOlute equality as to the street cars,
railroad cars. hotels and steamers. No
one thinks Of Directing to the presence
OF any man or woman in the dining
room on account Of his or her color On
the cOasting steamer in which I came
here two-thirds of the passengers were
negroes. Some were very intelligent
and not a few were property owners.
Negro Women Very Large.
Here in this state of Bahia three
fourths Of the population are negroes.
Nearly every one you meet on the street
shows some trace Of negro blood. There
are many blacks, and the Bahig black
women are famous for their size I
have seen some that weigh 300 pounds.
They have a peculiar dress, consisting
Of a long white chemise without sleeves.
satiny arms Of Jet black are exposed
In the neck Of the chemise is a lace
edging Of beautiful design, and through
its meshes the black skin shows out
Many Of these women wear gay col
ored turbans and not few have shawls
about the waist, forming a sort of over
skirt They are often loaded with jew
elry. Many Of them are barefooted-
They are very straight and frequently
90 about with burdens balanced on the
tops Of their heads They are good ma
tured and their jolly laughter can be
heard block off
Most Of the negro people I have seen
in Brazil seem to be happy. I am told
they enjoy play much better than work
and that half their lives is devoted to
amusements and festivals. In the COT
fee regions when the harvest is over
they bring bOughs Of the coffee trees
TO which they have tied paper ribbons
of bright color, shouting for their en-

Center of Old slave Trade.
Bahia was for long time the center
OF the slave trade, not only for South
America, but for North America as well
The kidnapers caught their cargoes
along the gulf OF Guinea and in POrtu-
guese West Africa and ran them across
TO Brazil They landed them at Bahia
and from there shipped them to the
United States and the West Indies.
thousands were struggled into New
Orleans after we had prohibited the
slave trade and they were landed in
Cuba and Porto Rico at the same time
It was with one Of these importatiOns
that the first yellow fever came to Bra

100 years after the introduction OF sla-

Set Free without War.
The freeing or the slaves was accom-
plished after a different method in Bra
I'll from that of the United States. The
Brazilians did not require a war to free
more than One-third Of their people.
The first law for the liberty of the ne
gro went into effect in 1871. Il pro-
Vided that all negro children born in
and after 1872 should have the right TO
purchase their freedom for sums rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50. In 1885 all ne
groes over 65 were liberated, and in
1855 the institution Of slavery was en-
tirely abolished.
In order TO bring about this act great
agitation was necessary. The campaign
for the freeing OF the slaves began 80
years before they were given their liz

negroes who ranked there much as
Frederick Douglass ranked in the
United States. These men were LUZ
Cana and Jose do PatrOcinio. Each Of
them probably was the equal Of Doug
lass, and together they had great
weight with the republic There were
also associations inspired by the abo-
lition movement and emperor Dom Pc
dro II encouraged the cause.
Many Now Own PrOperfy.
Today large number Of the negroes
own property. Some OF them have
bought this with their earnings- others
were given small allOtments OF land by
their masters Many OF them make
money as mechanics and a few have
found place in the professions as law
yers, doctors and editors. Not long ago
