Chamberlain of Fernambuco sends a comprehenslvs description of the. Paulo Alfonso falls and the San Francisco river, situated in that part of Brazil. The. falls are 230 miles from either Pernambuco, which has a population of 200,'QQu, or Bahia, with 230,000 people. The aver age volume of the river is 1,000 pubic meters (one cubic meter 35.316 cubic feet) per second, and between Jatoba and Piranhas, a distance of about 65 miles, the fall is 756 feet, 400 of which takes place in the rapids, extending about 15 miles. This vast undeveloped water power will become in time tlit nucleus of a great Industrial circle. A new cotton mill is being erected near Penedo, and there are a few other small factories using this power, but these little establishments are almost nothing compared to tbe Industries which tbe great river should foster.

At a mothers meeting a young woman recounted with soma pride a number of proverbs about mothers. " It is easier for a poor mother to keep seven children than for .seven children to keep a mother.' That sad and striking proverb," she said, "Is from the Swiss. " 'A mother's love is new every day Ho who will not mind his mother will some day have to mind the Jailer.' Better lose a rich father than a poor mother.' 'A father's love Is only knee-deep, but a mother's reaches to the heart' Those splendid proverbs are all German. "The Hindoos say poetically, "Moth er mine, ever mine, whether I he rich or poor.' "The Venetians say, 'Mqther! He who has one calls her; he who has none misses her.' "The Bohemians say, 'A mother's hand Is soft even when it strikes.' "The Lithuanians say, 'Mother means martyr."' Politeness and the Clock. When a very polite woman haa com pany she never looks at the clock. If by any means her eyes must wander to that side of the room sha very carefully looks above the clock, or be low it, or to one side of It, but never Is she guilty of the rudeness of look ing at the clock Itself. When a guest looks at tbe clock and comments upon the lateness of the hour, then a hos tess may look at it, but she most Im mediately, tn Very polite and ladylike terms,1 insist that the clock lies; that -It U at least four hours too fast ' Tbe clock Is an important factor In' true politeness.1 Only by utterly ignoring It when there Is company can a womaa become a ' perfect lady.

Knowledge of Reality. Nothing la so valuable aa a knowl edge of reality. No other knowledge Is permanently valuable without It The extent to which the human miad Is capable of deceiving Itself with knowledge of phenomena, tbe better to avoid the temporary discomfort of reoo galling the vital truths- of prog ress, Is only less remarkable than the extent of the power It Is capable of exerting when onoe inspired by the consciousness that It has become the vehicle of some truth necessary for the world'a advancement William Vincent Byers, "An American Com moner '' ' l ' Queer Effect of Extreme Cold.
