AT BRAZIL'S CAPITAL THE SCENES ON APPROACHING QUAINT OLD RIO JANEIRO. Nature Outdoes Herself In the Beautiful Picture Presented From the Harbor—Odd Street Names—Hotel Charges and a Hotel Bath. As we approach the harbor of Rio Janeiro there gradually rise into view the twin islands, Father and Mother, between which the ship passes. Then comes one of those grand pictures which defy adequate description. Even the English passenger, surprised out of his national characteristic, murmurs after a deep inhalation, "There is nothing like it the world over." The numberless peaks, of purple hue, peculiar and rugged, of varied outline and sharply defined, spread to right and left and form a successively changing background as one advances—now majestic sentinels, now illusive phantoms, as the clouds veil their crowns or hide them from view. A story is told of the Princess Isabel, Dom Pedro's daughter, who once enthusiastically called to a fellow passenger, the wife of one of the European ambassadors accredited to Dom Pedro's court: "Come, come, and look at the most beautiful sight in the world! We are entering our glorious harbor!" The lady addressed, who had been in Brazil before, had seen behind the pictures and was not as fond of it all as was the princess, answered in a soft, purring voice, "Oh, yes, very beautiful, but I know of a sight more beautiful still!" "Yes?" incredulously and interrogatively exclaimed the princess. "Yes, it is much more beautiful going out through this glorious harbor." After landing we break through the mob of carriers, after snatching the nearest one to take our baggage, and get into one of the waiting vehicles, a shabby genteel carriage—they are all much the same—rickety affairs, drawn by little forlorn mules or horses. Ours Why Horseshoe Paint Gives Better Protection Than Ordinary Painting THERE'S no secret about good paint. Everybody knows that the best paint must be made of absolutely lead, zinc and linseed oil and the necessary color and dryer. Lead is necessary to thicken the paint that it will cover. But lead alone will "chalk off" in a paratively short time and leave the surface unprotected. So in Horseshoe Brane Prepared Painting we combine—zinc with lead because zink tough, dries hard and so prevents "chalking." And zinc carries 60 per cent more oil than lead. That means greater spreading capacity fewer gallons to buy. And it means double the wear and protection for your building—greatest omy in every way. Because oil is the life of paint. It penetrates the pores of the wood forms a tough, elastic, waterproof coating protected by the zinc. That is why Horseshoe Paint gives better protection than lead and oil alone. Horseshoe Paint gives better protection than the ordinary adulterated ready-mixed paint—because it is absolutely pure—(preso by the Chemists' Certificate of Absorption on every can.)— While ordinary ready-mixed paint is iterated with barytes, whiting, china silica, substitute oils, water, almost anything to cheapen the cost of production. Naturally these adulterants ruin the spraying capacity as well as the wearing quality of such paint. So much of this "doped" stuff is offered pure paint that in the past you could afford to take chances on ready-mixed paint. You don't have to take chances now. Because you find the proof of purity every can of Horseshoe Brand Prepared Paint—a Chemists' Certificate of Absorption on every can. beautiful, but I know of a sight more beautiful still!" "Yes?" incredulously and interrogatively exclaimed the princess. "Yes, it is much more beautiful going out through this glorious harbor." After landing we break through the mob of carriers, after snatching the nearest one to take our baggage, and get into one of the waiting vehicles, a shabby genteel carriage—they are all much the same—rickety affairs, drawn by little forlorn mules or horses. Ours breaks down twice before reaching our destination. The drivers are merciless. They jolt and joggle and swing you from one side of the narrow street to the other, lashing their horses continually, especially around corners and up and down hills, until they drive the breath out of your body and the hope out of your heart with the recklessness of it. You vow this is the last time, but they get you again. Between breaths you look to find you are going through such streets as the First of March, the Marquez of So-and-so, the Viscount That, the Baroness This, the street of the Patriotic Volunteers, the Senator Something-or-other, ending up with Julius Caesar street and Jesu Cristo's alley! The hotel faces an open square, has trees about it and is painted on the outside a warm, clear pink. The guests dress very much, especially the women. There is much frou-frou of silk petticoats and many long trained dresses. The men, one would judge, come over from Paris. There is just the right twirl to the point of the mustache and just the right line to the waist of their coats to suggest it. Congress is in session, and there are senators from all parts of Brazil staying here; also a sprinkling of foreign ministers and some of the Brazilian nobility left over from the empire. On the birthday of their beloved emperor these latter have masses said for him in most of the churches. Notice is given in the daily papers so the sympathetic may attend. Everything is extra at this hotel—your candles, a second serving of the same dish, anything taken from the table to your rooms, anything eaten in the dining room five minutes after meal hours. A bath is 50 cents extra. Taking a bath here is peculiar. In your bath gown you walk the seemingly mile or so of hall into the back foyer, down long flights of stairs, to the ground floor, almost into the garden, till you reach a glass door marked "Chuveiro," which means as near as you can translate it into English, "En- ELECTION NOTICE SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX Notice is hereby given to the qualified voters of Loara School District, county range, State of California, that an election will be held on the 24th day of June.

You find a room, tiled as high as your head, open above. Taking up half the floor is a depression five inches deep, also tiled. You wonder where you are going to bathe. Being a Yankee, you guess. You screw up your courage for what may happen, shut your eyes, pull the cord above you, and lo! down comes a splendid shower of cold water for as long as you want to hold the cord.

Rattley bang! Clatter, clatter! Clack, clack, clack! Tac, tac! A general passes by! Driven in the happy fashion of the country, his two military outriders on horseback flying close, one each side, just behind. Every time his carriage wheel sweeps the curb on one side of the narrow street they make the same curve exactly. When a moment later his carriage wheel just escapes the curb on the other side of the street they escape it by the exact distance. When the carriage stops suddenly, they stop suddenly. It is well the little Brazilian horses are so docile or one of the most laughable sights in Brazil would be lost. The little soldiers, bobbing up and down astride the little horses, with their brown faces, bright red and blue uniforms and slouchy little figures, do not exactly suggest military dignity. They suggest something else. You instinctively look around for the tin cup. The law permits every general the outriders. The two soldiers are also stationed at the gate or outer door of his home. I have not been able to distinguish the soldier from the policeman, they dress so much alike. The police have a chain of whistles through the city at night. You hear one in the distance, then near, then in the distance again as the signal passes down the chain. An American here says it is to warn the burglars out of the way so the police can pass without any distracting thoughts. We got back to the hotel to toss and tumble through the hot night, in the agonizing indecision whether it were best to smother with the window shut or take terrible chances of getting the fever with the windows open, as every one said we would.—A Yankee Visitor to Brazil in New York Tribune.

Currency Is Tough. That Uncle Sam's notes stand a great deal of rough and careless handling is a fact that impresses itself upon any one who has ever chanced to note the manner in which the average cashier pulls and jerks the bills before he pushes them through the window to the waiting patron. A single treasury note measures three and one-eighth inches in width by seven and a quarter inches in length. It will sustain without breaking lengthwise a weight of forty-one pounds, crosswise a weight of ninety-one pounds. The notes run four to a sheet, a sheet being eight and a quarter inches wide by thirteen and a half inches long. One of these sheets lengthwise will suspend 108 pounds and crosswise 177 pounds. It will be observed that a single note is capable of sustaining crosswise a weight of ninety-one pounds, which is twice the amount by nine pounds of the weight the note can sustain lengthwise, while in the case of the sheet the crosswise sheet lacks thirty-nine pounds of double the sustaining power of the lengthwise sheet.—Philadelphia Record. Ambiguity. Layman (to curate)—Were you preaching at your church last night? Curate—No; why? Layman—Oh, I didn't know whether you would be preaching or not, so I wouldn't risk going.—Punch. Scottish Tales. In Miss Constance Gordon Cumming's "Memories" is a story of the ironic courtesy of the dowager duchess of Atholl: "Finding it impossible to prevent visitors to her lovely grounds at Dunkeld from scribbling their names on her favorite summer house and elsewhere, she had an attractive white board put up, with a notice that the duchess would be much obliged if visitors would kindly write their names on this board. This request was generally complied with under the impression that it was complimentary. The board was washed clean by the next morning." One of Miss Cumming's nieces of an uncompromising Tory family became your room again you have sent you a bouquet, know what to do with it you did with the bathroom and won't look like painted wood, so you sit anywhere. When dry, it was built on a stick out a bushel of flowers. we dined with the man who rushed out from group of fellow brokers to actiously the male memerty as we passed them in Fourteen sat at the table, all children were ranged wall and served in the high chairs. Our host, English with a delicious name on her favorite summer house and elsewhere, she had an attractive white board put up, with a notice that the duchess would be much obliged if visitors would kindly write their names on this board. This request was generally complied with under the impression that it was complimentary. The board was washed clean by the next morning." One of Miss Cumming's nieces of an uncompromising Tory family became engaged to the son of a Whig family. The engagement aroused opposition in days of strong party feeling. "Nevertheless love carried the day, but her mother's parting counsel on the wedding day was delightfully characteristic: "Well, daughter, you'll sometimes hear something good about the Torles, and I'll tell you what to do then. Just go to your own room and lock the door and have a bit dance by yourself!" Silver That Is Thrown Away. "Do you see that man with the bag going down the basement steps?" inquired the chummy cabman who stands in front of a smart Fifth avenue restaurant. His companion replied that he did and asked what there was about the man that was unusual. "Well, that fellow drives the refuse cart that collects the stuff thrown out downstairs. His graft is pickin' out the silver that's thrown away, bringin' it back an gettin' paid for it." Instead of picking all the knives, forks and spoons up from the plates or saucers it is not unusual for careless waiters to throw not only the remnants of food, but the silverware, too, into the barrel that stands at the cleaning table. It is said that the loss to one fashionable restaurant in this way frequently has amounted to $500 in one month.—New York Press.
