a:nd is not apt to be much more af-
fected by it" than if the revolt had
broken out in another country.
There is every reason to believe that
Brazil has passed the epoch of
'Spanish-American revolutions. The
existing political and social order
is So firmly established, the financial
interests are se great, and the other
forces that snake for peace are so
powerful, that any repetition of the
Mexican' situation in Mexico or the
revolutions• that are so common in
Central American countries is out
of the • question. The situation is
difficult, and is aggravated by the
religious complication that has to
be dealt with, but it is likely to be
handled well by the Federal Gov-
ernment, and nothing Hauch worse
• ou:tsid•e of .the affected areas is likely
to happen than the embarrassment
of the Government, and possibly the
election of anew President.
Most Backward Part of Brazil.
• The disturbance is confined to the
State of Ceara, in the north of Bra-
zil, and though there is some ex-
citement in adjoining elates, it is
an anxiety to get the thing settled
rartlier than a desire to have the re-
volt spread. Ceara is a state that
does not offer great inducements
to the foreign investor and exploit-
er. Although it is the most back -
Ward portion of Brazil, it is not a
profitable field for commercial de-
velopment. The soil is poor and
thin, and on this account the state
is subject to long. dry opeils that
•• last from July to Deeember, anti
sometimes 1onger. In 18.77-1878 thedrought lasted so long that half a
million people are supposed eta have
died through starvation and the
subsequent pestilence. Of the pop-
ulation only a very snail part is of
European descent. Most of the peo-
ple are of Indian and negro4bload:•
This population, whioh is estimated
tci number about 900,000, hes d•e-
veloped apart from the rest of Bra-
zil, having its own customs, its own
folk -lore and traditions, and above
all, its ,own superstitions.
A Miracle Announced.
The whole population is deeply
religxous, the ifeelated e' arsoter
of
the state, and its frequent droughts,
with great suffering and distress,(
being probably responsible for this
characteristic. Sonne twenty years
• ego the little town of Joazeiro de
C"ariry, which is situated about 200
' miles from Fortaleza, the capital of
the state, was thrown into tremen-
dous excitement by the announce-
nie.nt that a. miracle had bean pox-:
formed by -the Parish priest, Padre
,Cicero Romao, The witness of the
miracle was Maria,' Arenjo, a liese
terical peasant woman, who was
half-witted. This woman testified
that upon a number of ooeaeions
when partalving of communion in
the church she had seen traces of
blood. upon, (tile consecrated wafer,
This miracle she• ascribed to . the
wonderful powers of the padre.
News of the miracle spread , fast.
Credulous peasants flocked to the
town front fax and near, and after
listening to, • the woman were con-
vinced :that what shes.saidd• was the
truth. In order to 'be near the two
saints, namely, the woman and the
priest, many of the visitors sold
their homes in other parts of the
state and settled down at Joazeiro
de 'Catriry. '

When the bishop of .the state

tiered an investigation. His oom-
missioners advised him that the
whole thing was a fraud, and the
bishop commanded the padre to•

increased. This :Rosters re:fused to

()eans with' unlimited sway, So
powerful was •this family that the
presexit Federal Executive, Marshal
Hermes de Fonseca, thought it de-
sirabthat i•t,should be •cu:rb.ed; and
two years ago oreraurned.the Ceara
Government and :appointed friends
of his own. Though without office,
the Aeeioly family was by no means
shorn of power. It entered into an
alliance with Romeo and his fana-
tical followers, rebelled against the
Governor of the state, went through
the formality of 'electing one of their
own, and defied the Federal Gov-
erument to .. interfere. The other
enemies and opponents of Fonseca
have aeied the opportunity of mak-
ing trouble fax him, and unrest has
been observed in two or three states
bordering upon Ceara. If the Fed-
eral Government intervenes, there
will bo an outcry against the inva-
sion of etate rights. If it does not
•interfere, the neighboring states
may take the law into their own
hands and invade Ceara for the pur-
pose of putting down the brigand-
age. The situation is an extremely
awkward one, but is hardly likely
to agitate the whole country.
GAMBLING IN FRANCE,
Government Decides That It Should
Get Bigger Share.
Legalized gambling in France has
increased so enormously that the
Government has decided it ought to
get a greater share of the profits.
Under an Act passed in 1907 the
State has been getting 15 per cent.
of the •gross receipts. A Parlia-
mentary commission has brought in
a recommendation that from the
gross incomes of gambling casinos
the State should have three per
cent. on incomes less than $2,000 up
to 45 per cent. on incomes exceed-
ing $1,000,000, according'to a grad-
uated scale.
One hundred: and thirty-three
casinos were authorized by the Min-
istry of the Interior last season to
have beccaraat, the mechanical rac-
ing horses, whist, bridge, bezique,
ecarte and piquet. The official fig-
ures = before the eommissivn ahoy;
that the casinos: in France at sum-
mer resorts and• springs took in
about $10,000,000 profit during. a
single season.
Enghien, ' which is within seven
and one-half miles from Paris, had
about one-fifth of the whole, or
$2,000,000. One hundred and fifty
trains a day ay x •lin from Paris during
the short holiday season, and the
opponents of gambling affirm that
hundreds of young men. and women
from Paris become bankrupt at the
tables every season. The municipal
casino 'at Nice. owned by the city,
tock :in $1,600,000; sed paid nearly
all the expenses of the local admin-
istration. A second casino at Nice,
undea."'.:a license of the Minister of
she Interium•,, won fon its proprietors
.$427,000., There: were a nuihber of
little •x•esttts which. we1^e. • run •at a .

Public gambling revenues, accord-
ing to the official figures, have in=
creased about fourfold since 1907
These' figures do not include 4,600
clubs in Fiance, where gambling is
allowed, and for which then State
also takes .a percentage of the pro-
fits, nor *the pari-mutuel machines
at race courses, which haat season
. tc;ok bets ef about $80,000,000.
Soxne 'of the newspapers, in 're-
proaching the Cabinet for trying to
take noire "tainted" money, relate
that one 'of •the wealthiest proprie-
tors of e,caa einos in Prance. began :xs
a dish -washer in a restaurant, and
that his income is now $400,000 a
year, besides that from his .accumu-
la;taons;'whieli amount t•o $6,000,000.

I'he cause is due not to•inability
to live through weak constitutions,
or inherited disease, bet to fatally
wrong living and over living. -.
The arteries are the piping of 'the
human body. They go everywhere,
to the toes, brain, spin,aloord. They
carry all the blood in the aysttena,
and if this, blood is overburdened
with the pole:me left over from ex-
oessive drinking,from the drains of
passion, from gorging, there is just
one place where they settle the in-
side of the arteries.
This deposit of extra material
causesa gradual hardening' of the.
arteries—what is called arterio-
sclerosis, the modern Moloch.• The
tiny blood vesselsin the liver are
affected, and then 000nxruences that
fatal disease, cirrhosis of the liver.
The cells of the kidneys become
starved because they cannot get a
proper supply of good, clean blood
—then Bright's disease gets its
start. The very delicate arteries of
the brain are similarly affeoted, and
then •come all kinds of mental trou-
bles—saItening of the brain, loss of
memory, incompetency, moral palsy
and sometimes mania.
Tax on. -Arteries.
Now, get into your minds the vi-
sion of the vast extent of rubber
piping throughout the whole body.
That this piping is most delicate in
and around the vital organs; that
it must expand, elongate, contract,
as the blood •streams put pressure
upon it, are facts you must keep in
mind. These rubber -like arteries
must be in this plastic condition to
enable man to do this work well and
' be ready to respond to all extra ef-
fort.

GASOLINE STILL SUPRE'ME'. -
Cash Prize Falls to Develot i Suc-
cessful Substitute.
- Gasoline 'seems likely to remain
uppermost as a motor fuel, much to
the disappointment ef automobile
users, and especially those of for-
eign countries, where the prime of
the commodity has risen to such
heights that many motorists find
.themselves compelled to cut down
on their mileage in order to indulge
at all it the use of the car.
Surae months ago the Society of
._Motor Manufacturers and Trades of
Great Britain offered a cash prize
of $10,000 1» induce experiments
which might disclose a less costly
fuel than gasuline to be produced
entirely from materials available in
that country and in such quantities
as. to constitute a national supply.
It is now announced that ear one
has succeeded in winning the prize,
a1theugh 37 entries were, received
from eight different countries. De-
tailed ,study of the communications
has failed to afford ground for mak-
ing even a partial award, although
it is said that many of the sugges-
tion were of a most interesting na-
ture and possibly susceptible of de-
velopment toward the desired end.
Processes which were known prior
to May 1 of last year were ruled out
of the competition.
Fullowing the surprise and disap-
pointment caused by the announce-
ment English tourists are now look-
ing fur relief in the direction of de-
natured alcohol, which, it is said,
can be produced in almost any
amount. It has been suggested that
some society or some other public

1+. WITH A STEER.
Sequel to Treatment (riven for
Pink Eye..
Ralph Ryerson threw his saddle
o i his horse one crisp•morxxing i12.
• March, and started fur the stook -
yard, to help feed anti care Lor his
cattle. He was very proud of the
three hundred. liver -colored. and
white Hereford's, T,hoy were
smooth,• sleek fellow's, with. well-
rounded eider, iirm., full anke, and.
broad backs, .As hewatched them
at the feeding tables busy with the
shelled corn, oil. eake and alfalfa,.
he thought with. satisfaction of the
prices. they would bring at. the city
stockyard's...
All at once his quick eye detect-
ed•one in which he thought, he saw
the first •symptoms of pink eye. He
rode over to the •steer, uncoiled the
lariat at hie saddle, dismounted,
roped the big fellow quietly, and
snubbed him to a post. His mad
was net at hand just then, and Ry-
erson decided to give the steer an
injection alone.
As he approached with the g-
ringo, the herd took it into their
heads to stampede from the feeding
tables. They galloped away in the
highest of •spirits, and frisked about
the yard with their tails high in the
air.
Ralph gave the steer an injection
in the flank, and turned him loose.
The liveliness of the others excited
the animal, and when Ralph slip-
ped the rope from his horns, he
first pulled hack, and then lunged
forward, with a loud bellow.
Ryerson had no idea that the
beast was really angry, and turned
aside to coil up the lariat. Sudden-
ly he felt himself hurled into the
air. The beast had charged him.
Ralph fell to the ground with a
thud that jarred the breath from
his
.lungs. Fortunately, the steer
overran him, and _could not gore
him
Ralph leaped to his feet, only to
see the steer madly charging at hini
again. As the oame on with lowered
head, Ralph sprang to one side, and
the great head with its cruel horns
grazed his leg. He looked about
for his horse, but it was some dis-
tance away. Evidently the stam-
pede of the cattle had excited it,
too.
Ryerson was in extreme peril.
The snubbing post was his only re-
fuge. He dodged behind it, and
kept it between him ami the charg-
ing steer. The beast - stopped, paw-
ed the ground, and came ;at him
deliberately to dislodge , iixu.. • The.
ereatare was thoroughly aroused;
its lips were foam -flecked and its
eyes were savage.
Fortunately for Ryerson, the cat-
tle at this moment name galloping
up the yard. I•t was Ralph's oppor-
tunity. As they charged past, he
seized the tail of one animal and
ran with it. That seemed to divert
the attention of the infuriated steer
from the pian to the other steer,
and he charged after it. The two
animals came together with a crash;
that knocked the one to which Ry-
erson was clinging to its knees. It•
quickly recovered itself, and the
two animals began to fight.

nor of G uuan Bast Africa,, Dr.
Schnee, In response to a resolu-
tion passed by the Reichstag iast
year, calling fox the termination -oaf;
household slavery by January 1,
1920. Dr. Schnee has reported that
there are about 185,000 slaves, in the
colony at :present --many of them
captives in. wars as late as, 1905 and
1906, while othersarea being invest-
ed even to -day, fro¢n, Portuguese

growing less. •
• A law passed a, few years ago :

slaves ; many are :able to buy their
liberty frani sums ranging from $:'
to $15, and in addition, many owr-
ers are voluntarily giving then
slaves freedom ..

Glares would ruin many plantation

Government at least $2,000,000indemnify owners for She loss of:
their property.
Familiar Arguments.: "
The Governor uses arguments
that had a familiar ring in the
United States sixty years:a;go. He
says that the negro by no ,means
feels the lack of personal liberty as
a hardship, that the slavery is of a
decidedly patriarchal elearacter,
that 4he labor exacted is light, that,-
they are given certain drays each:
week the cultivate their own garden.
By a general • emancipation the
