A NEW REPUBLIC,
JHE united states of brazil
AND ITS PEOPLE.
A Country Comprising More Than
Three-Sevenths of South America
—Emancipation of (he Slaves
—lts National Debt.
Brazil, the Empire of which was
changed to a Republic by the recent
bloodless revolution, lias been subject to
die wise and humane rule of the now de
posed Dom Pedro 11. since 1840. He
bad become the nominal Emperor in
1831, when his father,Dora Pedro 1., ab
dicated the throne. Under Dom Pedro
Brazil cut loose from the parent coun
try, Portugal, in 1821. The grandfath
er of the recently deposed Emperor was
Dom John, King of Portugal, who tied
to Brazil in the terrible days following
the French revolution. For a time he
ruled Portugal from across the sea, and
jn liis return to Lisbon lie left his son,
the first Dom Pedro, at the head of the
Brazilian affairs. It was this son who
led the revolt against Portugal and who
was crowned constitutional Emperor of
Brazil. After his abdication in favor of
his six-ycar-old soil the affairs of the
Government were administered by a suc
cession of regents elected by the legisla
dvo representatives of the people. In
1840, however, the nation became dis
satisfied with the regency and so gave
;he Government into the hands of Dom
I’cdro 11., then a boy of fourteen. As he
tvas proclaimed Emperor July 23 of (bat
year a few more months would have
rounded out for him a half-century of
power. On account of his feeble health,
however, the Govcrmcut has been prac
tically, for several years, in the bands of
hi3 daughter Izabel, heir to the throne.
Her husband, Prince Louis of Orleans,
the French Comte d'Eu, a Bourbon, was
Commander-in-Chief of the
armv.
Dom Pedro is of the royal house of
Braganza, still ruling in Portugal. The
Empire which he ruled so long comprises
more than three-sevenths of the territory
of South America. It has an area of
3,287,964 square miles, and is therefore
nearly as large as the United States, in
cluding Alaska. It has a population,
however, of less than 14,000,000. lis
soil is very fertile and its climate is mag
nificent. Of late years the country has
developed rapidly, yet its vast interior is
mainly an untrodden wilderness. Four
fifths of Brazil is an elevated plateau,
and this is separated from the 4000 miles
of seacoast by ranges of mountains which
shut off free access to it and which are
pierced by railways only with great dif
ficulty and at enormous cost. It has
been the policy of Dom Pedro to push
improvements of this sort by placing be
hind them the national credit W hile
he has piled up a large debt for public
works, be has wrought permanent good
for his country in exchange for the money
spent. There are now 5000 miles of
railway in Brazil and several thousand
miles more are in the course of construc
tion. Of late strong efforts have been
made to attract European immigration,
ind these efforts have been quite suc
cessful.
Brazil, long the only monarchical gov
ernment of the Western Hemisphere, was
he last to abolish slavery, although Dom
I’cdro throughout his long reign was
constantly aiming to give freedom to the
bondsmen. His plan was to set the
slaves free bv degrees. A government
emancipation fund was established in
1871, and in 1875 laws were passed
which would in time have wiped out
davery. The results of this policy were
very plain, for in 1873 there were 1.541.-
819 slaves in the Empire, and in 1883
the number has been reduced to 1,211,-
946; two provinces set all their slaves
free in 1883-4. Stil! the work of
emancipation went on slowly until on
May 13, 1888, the Legislative Assembly
passed a bill abolishing all slavery. This
bill was signed by the Princess R. gent.
Izabel, and became alaw r . The Emperor
at that time w as in Europe for his health.
This action of the Government was very
popular in Brazil, except among the
owners of slaves, who vainly sought pay
ment for the human chattels taker, away
from them. It is now asserted that the
abolishment of slavery-led to the present
revolution in Brazil. It may be doubted,
however, whether that was the chief
cause of the upheaval.
The Brazilian navy is composed of
nine ironclads, six cruisers, eight tor
pedo boats and fifteen gunboats, manned
by 4272 officers and seamen.
Brazil has a national debt of $500,-
000,000, mainly due to the cost of great
public improvement* and to the war with
Paraguay from 1865 to 1871. Its credit
is excellent abroad, though its income is
less than its expenses. The Legislative
Assembly is composed of a Senate and a
Chamber of Deputies, and all its mem
bers arc elected by the people. The
Senators hold offices for life and the
Deputies for four years. The established
religion is Human Catholic, and com
paratively few Protestants exist there,
though all religious are tolerated. About
eighty Tour per cent, of the people are
unable to read. Only those are per
mitted to vote who have a yearly income
nf at least S2OO. Tne Government is
very liberal, and the late Cabinet was
pledged to carry out a number of im
portant reforms. If the new republican
rulers shall prove more worthy of the
public confidence than the Emperor they
will be little short of paragons. —Chicago

How lo C'nre Insomnia.
Avery simple method of inducing
sleep in cases of persistent insomnia, and
me that has succeeded where many
hugs have failed, is simply to adminis
er a moderate amount of warm liquid
ood before the patient goes to bed.
This diverts the blood from the brain to
he abdominal organs and takes a ay the
cerebral excitement that preclude sleep.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett never
uew how popular also was until she met
iith her recent accident in London,
An Episode of Teeth.
It was about two o’clock ol n chill
morning when Mr. X. presented himself
at the door of a doctor in the village of
W. and after rt series of thundering
knocks at the door with a good deal of
vigorous exercise upon the bell handle,
succeeded in bringing that gentleman to
the window overhead.
“What is it?” asked the doctor.
“Do you pull teeth?” Mr. X. de
manded.
“Yes, when I have to,” was the reply.
“Then I want a tooth pulled.”
“All right. Come back in the morn
ing and I’ll take it out for you.”
“Come back in the morning!” ejacu
lated Mr. X. “What do you take me
for? Here I’ve been in torment for
these two days, and for the last two
hours I’ve been hunting all over town
after a dentist, and now I’d like to have
the job done at once if there is any way
to fix it.”
The dentist at first demurred, but at
last he consented to come down and get
the tooth out at once; and after a clue in
terval in which he made his hasty toilet,
Mr. X. was admitted to the house. The
chili of the night was everywhere, but
X. was too intent upon getting rid of
the troublesome molar to mind that, and
iie was duly installed in the operating
chair and an examination made.
“Hold on there,” X. said, as the den
tist, having satisfied himself which was
the troublesome tooth, took lip his for
ceps and prepared for work. “I want to
take gas. This tooth lias given inc
about all the pain I can stand from it.”
“Well,” the dentist answered, “the
gas is a little low, but if you insist I
will give you what there is. It will
deaden the pain, though very likely you
will feel it some.”
The conventional breathing tube, of
black rubber was produced, aad X. pro
ceeded to inhale for dear life. For a
moment the dentist allowed him to pump
his lungs full from the gas reservoir, and
then, taking the breathing-tube away, he
quickly whipped in his forceps and
whipped out the tooth.
“I did feel it some,” X observed,
when he was able to get his mouth in a
condition which allowed him to speak.
“Did you?” the dentist asked, sym
pathetically. “Not much, Ihope?”
“Not so very much,” X. replied.
“Still I knew when it came.”
When, a moment later, X. prepared to
pay his bill, and asked the price, he was
surprised to be told a sum which was so
small that it seemed that a mistake must
have been made.
“But is that all you ask for adminis
tering gas?” he asked.
“Oh, bless you,” was the smiling an
swer, “there wasn’t any gas there. I
! only let you breathe into the tube u little
■ to satisfy your imagination.”
X. did not at first know whether to be
1 vexed or amused, but wisely 'concluded
I that the latter was the better policy, he
I wended his way home, chuckling, and
! got himself to bed as the first streaks of
! the coming dawn began to show in the
| sky. —Boston Courier.
A Chinese Diplomat’s Queer Idea.
The new Chinese Minister at Washing
ton, says the correspondent of the Chi
cago Herald , has some queer ideas about
household management. He insists upon
having his wife’s private washing hung
out to dry upon a line strung across the
portico on the south front of the legation
building and in plain view of Dupont
circle and street car travelers on the
Georgetown lines. Every day, women,
and men, too, but more women than
men, may be seen scanning the queer gar
ments that make up my lady’s wardrobe.
They flaunt in the breeze three days in the
week with the somewhatprettyfaccof the
minister’s wife peering out of a window
close by, the combined attractions prov
ing too much for the curiosity of the
neighbors. The new minister, by the
way, is slowly dining his way through the
diplomatic corps. To dine in this way
does not mean to satisfy hunger with him,
for there are few' things on the menu
that he can eat and w'hen a blessed piece
of duck or familiar food appears he can
make no headway with it by the knife
and fork. A colleague who has eaten
near hi in says that the minister is on a
close diet of bread and champagne.
He knows and likes those two things,
and they can fortunately be managed
without the slippery knife and jumping
fork. The last minister bought two
hundred complete suits of clothing ana
jewelry galore, and wore them all, too,
the old dandy. The incumbent is more
sober in his dress, and is seen in the same
suit many times. He is a student., a
philosopher, and a very wise and shrewd
old Oriental in general.
A Tall Prince.
Prince Christian, the oldest son of tht
Crown Prince of Denmark, who is at
present serving his year in the ranks of
the common soldiers, is the tallest Prince
in Europe. Heretofore the Emperor of
Russia has had this honor, but Prince
Christian, as was discovered during the
Czar’s recent trip to Fredensborg, is
several inches taller than that monarch.
When the Emperor was received at the
station, his regiment was ordered as the
guard of honor, and Prince Christian was
obliged to "present arms’’ while the rest
of his family greeted the Emperor. The
only mark which distinguished the fu
ture King from the peasants about him
was the Maximilian decoration which he
wore on his breast.
A Wonderful Dragon Tree.

which is scarcely two meters from tht
ground, is upward of thirty-six meters ii
circumference (about 120 feet), and iu it

UTILIZING SKIM MILK.
AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE ARTICLE
BY MR. A. W A HI, IN FROM STOCK
HOLM, SWEDEN.
This gentleman, whose name will be
known already by many of our readers
from the time of his connection with the
Delaval Separator, was present at the N.
Y. State Dairymen’s Convention, hold at
Ithaca 10th, 12th of December, and gave
to the meeting, some interesting state
ments concerning quite anew feature in
agricultural progress. The subject of
liis address was a perfectly new method
of utilizing skim-milk and whey, and to
prove of what great importance to a na
tion like America this question would
he. Mr. W. produced statistical state
ments from the United States Department
of Agriculture, showing an annual man
ufacture of butter in the States of not less
than one thousand three hundred million
pounds, arid four hundred and fifty mil
lion pounds of cheese. Counting about
two gallons of skim-milk to each pound
of butter' and, say about one gallon of
whey to the pound of cheese, the enor
mous waste of public wealth could easily
be calculated even if no more than one
cent’s value to the gallon were allowed.
With this new method, however, Mr. W.
claimed not only had this waste been
remedied, but, as he could prove by ac
tual fact, the farmer could make a profit
of at least six cents a gallon on his skim
inilk, which hitherto had been considered
quite valueless and almost a burden to
him. *
The process of manufacture, as de
scribed by him before the convention, ap
pears to us certainly as being very simple,
inexpensive and free from complications
of all kinds. The skim milk is curded
in the manner usual in manufacturing
cheese, only that a greater quantity of
reimet and higher temperature is used, so
as to make the precipitation as thorough
as possible. These curds are then placed
in a common cheese press, where it how
ever undergoes a harder pressure than is
required for ordinary cheese aud after
wards put through a simple process of
drying aud grinding, leaving the product
of dry curds as free from water as possi
ble.
These curds, containing a very high
percentage of protein, i. e. that which
constitutes the basis of all animal tissue,
makes it very valuable as an ingredient in
feeding rakes for cattle, horses or dogs,
in poultry food, etc., as also in bread,
biscuits and other kinds of human food.
By mixing only a small percentage of
this extraordinary nitrogeneous casein in
to w hat is called compound feeding cakes,
Mr. W. stated, cheaper kinds of grains, or
milling offals, may be used, yet produc
ing cakes superior to the best rape or lin
seed cakes. By adding the same to any
kind of feeding cake for milch cows, it
will render, by its mildness, a finer flav
ored butter and maintain the normal live
weight of the animal, even whilst under
going a butter test. The casein is namely
richer in protein aud of greater nourish
ment than meat even, and, being a
prime producer of flesh and blood, will
keep the animal in a healthy condition,by
constantly supplying the waste of animal
tissue.
For army horses the casein, mixed into
cakes of suitable form, will prove invalu
able, especially in cases of long rides or
protracted exertions, where it is impossible
to carry bulky provender. The same may
be said with regard to dogs, or in all
cases, where the physical powers of the
animal have to be exerted, as the casein
does not fill the animal and thus make it
sluggish, but nevertheless, being very
digestible, increases its staying powers.
For the same reason it will be found very
valuable also for mixing into biscuits or
bread for soldiers on active service, sailors,
laborers or sportsmen. Asa food for
poultry it will, whilst maintaining a
healthy condition, advance its egg pro
ducing capacity and great fattening
qualities, without debilitating the bird,
as is done by the ordinary method of using
flesh food.
Mr. W. stated several results of practi
cal tests, which had been made in Europe,
with these casein feeding-cakes in con
nection with milch cows.
Tho whey, remaining after the curd
ing mentioned above is mixed with an
equal quantity of skim-milk and the bulk
put through a simple process of evapora
tion and transformed into solid, nearly
water free cakes, afterwards to bo cut,
more or less roasted, and ground to suit
whatever purpose intended. The whey
from an ordinary- cheese factory could
also be used. To this substance had been
given the mi me of “Lactoserioe,” from the
Intin Lac-milk and Serine-whey.
These solids containing principally
azotic or organic nutritious substances
and carbohydrates, are naturally very
healthy and highly nourishing as well as
palatable, and sure in the near future
to become highly important in human
food, beverages and pastries.
Careful analysis and the opinion,Mr. W.
stated, of well known physicians have
proved that “Lactosprino, u mixed with
coffee, for instance, produces a beverage
which in taste approaches and sometimes
even surpasses that of the best unmixed
coffee, and iu nutritious value far sur
passes the same. In salutary respect it
produces for invalids or the physically
weak, a beverage where the generally in
jurious, enervating properties of coffee
are reduced to a minimum.
Mixed with cocoa, a chocolate is pro
duced, which in netritious qualities
stands quite equal to the best known and
most valued cocoa preparations of our
time, excelling the same by its mildness
of flavor and richness in body.
For household purposes, such as for
thickening and flavoring soups and sauces,
in preparing deserts and ices of all kinds,
etc., it has proved to be of great value.
The same will be found in the confec
tioner's trade, and also in bread-making in
all its branches.
Asa “food for infante and invalids,’’
the lactoserine lias been proved by most
exhaustive analysis to be superior, both in
taste and nutriment, to most preparations
of the same kind known as vet, and far
nearer Prof. Koenig’s standard than Nes
tle’s Food, which has however won a
world-wide fame.
In view of these facte, Mr. W. thought
himself safe in stating that this valuable
substance woulc} readily find an open
market in Amsrici#, as it Las already done
in Europe,
Mr. W. also shows some samples of ac
tually sour milk, transformed to an ex
traordinary nutritious flour, which would
be found of great value as a mixture in
feeding-cakes for cattle, etc.
In continuation, Mr. W. reverted to the
question of likely profits for the farmers.
About three gallons of skim milk, he
stated, would produce one pound of casein
or dry curds and three pounds of lactose
riue. The manufacturers of compound
feeding cakes in Sweden pay at present,
according to his statement, a price of
about four cents a pound for the dry
curds, and laetoserine is there purchased
by the cocoa manufacturers at five cents
a pound, which would make nineteen
cents for three gallons of skim milk, or 6 j
cents per gallon.
Certified analysis were produced, and a
committee of five most prominent mem
bers of the association, with its vice-pres
ident, J. W. Edmunds, of Sherman, N.
Y., as chairman, was appointed, and after
u critical examination, reported very fa
vorably to the convention. The Ithaca
Journal , of December lltb, also closes a
very warm editorial with the following
endorsement:
“Anew road has been opened by these
inventions, leading to fresh sources of
profit, and providing access to great pub
lic wealth, in fact, a road of which we
should think all those who toil within the
districts of farm and dairy will readily
avail themselves. In this, namely, “lacto
serine,” uuew substance has been found,
which, in consequence of its many pala
table, nourishing and hygienic properties,
is sure to take a prominent position among
foods and beverages used by mankind,
and we think it to its interest, that the
public should further investigate this
matter, as we are certain that the same
lias not only opened anew and brighter
era in the dairy trade, but quite created a
wholly new industry, from which much
may be expected.”
Hard to l)o.
To stand perfectly motionless, and en
tirely at ease, Is difficult of accomplish
ment. In society you will find gentlemen
standing on one leg, or with legs crossed,
or feet wide apart, or attempting to stand
easily with feet close together and toes
out. I say you will notice gentlemen do
ing this because an inexperienced person
cannot tell when ladies stand that way.
Hut they are just as bad as the men, and
if you study the effect of these pos
tures you w'ill be able to tell the women
as well as the men. The correct attitude
is with one foot slightly advanced and the
other about a foot back of it, with the
toes nearly all right angles. This gives
one latitude to rest the weight of the
body on either or both feet, and gives
one’s suppleness some expression.
A Nation of Blondes.
If anybody believes that this is not des
tined to be a nation of blondes, let him
stuty the statistics of the immigration of
the Scandinavian people. The popula
tion of Norway shows a per ccntage of
ninety-seven and a quarter of light eyes.
Flaxen hair appears in fifty-seven and one
twentieth per cent, while absolutely black
hair is only found in the ratio of two per
cent. The immigration from Scandina
vian countries in 1888 numbered over
eighty thousand, or about one-sixth of
the entire immigration that year.
The chorai singing in Russian churches
is beyond description. No voices are

some of these Russian peasants. Truly
they are “organs,” and the effect produced
by the choir in great vaulted churches is

Young Journalists.
Not long ago it became known that a
certain New York periodical for boys and
girls was edited by “a man aged thirteen,”
and honor was claimed for the ambitious
youth as the youngest journalist in the
world. Alas, for such fleeting honors!
No sooner was the boys’ and girls’ hero
crowned than a rival sprang', into fame, a
rival with the balance of two years to the
good and a reputation as a sen
sational paragrapnist of the first
water. A little lad of eleven
years of age, in a corner of Germany, has
confessed to having been a reporter for
the last five years of his eventful life.
The lad had been having a “lark” in the
streets; the wily gendarme caught him
and brought him up before the magis
trate, where it came out that he had been
collecting material for “his paper,” and
that, since he had reached the mature age
of seven, he had been permanently en
gaged on the staff to collect news at ac
cidents, fires, funerals, and all manner of
festivities.
Patti’s Wages.
Patti, the divine singer, receives the
largest wages ever paid to an artist. Bile
receives three thousand five hundred dol
lars every night she sings iu tip; Albert
Hall in London. Even with this and the
expenditure of five thousand dollars for
each concert, her managers are able to
show a profit of from two thousand to
three thousand dollars per night. Patti
has earned by her own exertions more
money tlian any five women that ever
lived. Her receipts since she began sing
ing in public, twenty-five years ago, can
not be much jhort of three million dollars,
and she has several years of profitable
farewelling ahead of her.
A New Textile Fabric.
A French chemist hus produced un ar
tificial silk by the chemical treatment of
cellulose. He obtains a tnread which re
sembles silk very closely, and is equally
strong and elastic. It is not attacked by
■water, cold or warm, nor by the acids
and alkalies moderately concentrated.
A great drawback to this silk is that it is
extremely inflammable, but it is possible
that by a change of treatment it may be
rendered less combustible. If this is
done the new textile fabric will be one of
the greatest value.
Dn. Gravemgo. of the University of
Padua, is said to have successfully per
formed an operation which hitherto has
been vainly tried by various experimenters,
both in France and elsewhere. The op
eration consists in the grafting of a
chicken’s cornea into the human eye. In
the successful case reported by Gravenigo,
the graft is said to have united quickly,
aud formed a cornea which was very
transparent, shining and convex.
