 Mir. Pyles tells me he has enjoyed his life in Brazil. He believes 1t is good place to make money but he would prefer the United States as a place to die in. The reason for this is his chill dren. He would rather have them among his own people than here in Bra gil.
 I find that number of the Amer jeans here are well satisfied with their conditions and some are sensitive about being pitied for their expatriation About 25 years ago sympathetic wave con cerning the American colony passed over our country, and the United States gov ernment sent word to our legation at Rio to look up the expatriated Americans and aid them to return home. At that time the secretary of legation was a man named White, pompous young fellow. with q 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. MT. Norris told him that he was an Amer ican and that he would like to know how the United Stntes was getting along now. MT. White replied that our coun- try was prospering and that he had been directed by the state department to visit the American colony In Brazil.
 Indeed" said MT. Norris, "and may I ask what Is the object of your visitt''
 MT White replied Tt 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 MT. Norris. He said:
 "I and the rest of my American friends are satisfied with Brazil and l think we will stay where we are"
 "I am sorry" said Mir. 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"

there is no complaint made to police head quarters. Some truth in that song There's Little Bit of Everything on Broadway" The only things I haven't seen there yet are potato patch and a cotton field.
 There is now in course of construction at Fifth avenue and Seventy-second street dwelling house-apartment-i which one may pay $s0,000 per annum for suite occupying one floor.
 That house will probably be filled soon after 1t Is finished. All the people here ask is a good chance to spend their money they'll do the rest.
 But doesn't that tempt you to come here to live? Think of it--where else can you have the privilege of paying S3o,0V0 year for an apartment? 1t is an offer not to be lightly overlooked. And it also means this that. if successful. some one else will erect an aparement house in which one can get suite for $50000-and he will be followed by another higher priced man. Everything progresses or sta agnates, you know. and there is no odor from New York as yet

 On the way we passed through Cam pinas. This is thriving little city in the heart of one of the oldest coffee regions of Brazil. It has coffee trees which are more than hundred years old and are still bearing. The country about is lower than that of Villa Amer icana and therefore less subject to frosts The railroad passes through many plantations Tho coffee trees are low and bushy They cover the sides of the hills.
 Nearing Villa Americana the land is more and more rolling. It looks not un- like parts of Virginia. There are many fields of corn fenced with wire. The country is divided up Into fields. There are no barns or outbuildings. The ani- doors round. Now and then one sees a chapel by the roadside with . cross on tho top of it and n shrine inside. These are scattered over this part of Sac Paulo. Each stands upon the site where q man has died or to mark the grave of heathen. Only Christians can be buried in the regular cemeteries. I am told that unbaptised babies have to be buried outside for this reason. I doubt that.
