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 News. 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. —The Hospital. 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. In an article in a French .scientific jour nal on vegetation in Portugal reference is made to an extraordinary dragon tree (Draccena Draco) growing in the garden attached to the royal palace at Ajuda near Lisbon, which is supposed to have attained development unequaled by any other similar tree in the world. Tht crown of the tree, the under part of which is scarcely two meters from tht ground, is upward of thirty-six meters ii circumference (about 120 feet), and iu it coper outline forms a perfect dome. There is a tradition that this tree was 5m ported and planted iu the garden whei it was first created upward of three cen turies Ago, CURIOUS FACTS.

The colt, a spirited, wilful animal, had been tied to a post in front of the farmer's house while the owner went off across the fields to see some cattle. Flies were numerous and the colt managed to rub off his halter and bridle and throw himself at the same time. The farmer’s wife was pulling weeds in the garden close by, and, being a woman of nerve, sprang over the board fence that inter vened, seated herself on the colt’s head and stayed there, iu spite of his strug gles, for nearly au hour, until his driver returned. The coll had given up trying to help himself long before he was released from his uncomfortable position, and never for got the lesson. He was more completely under the will of his driver than any other hosre I ever knew. It was nevet necessary to tie him to a post again. His owner would drive him to the church door and leave him standing during the entire service, in perfect confidence that he would not move out of his tracks un til told to. —Minneapolis Tribune.

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 known like the phenomenal voices of some of these Russian peasants. Truly they are “organs,” and the effect produced by the choir in great vaulted churches is thrilling. “Why need It be?'’ we say, and sigh When loving mothers fade and die.

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.
