The Brazilian "Jornal do Commer-
•clo" announces that the minister of
finance of the state of Parana has re-
ceived from the Brazil Railway com-
pany a' report of the development of
the fazenda at Carambahy, on the
railway north of Ponta Grossa, which
was acquired by the company to dem-
onstrate the possibility of growing
wheat, the latest modern machinery
being imported therefor. Eighty
houses have been built for colonists,
and so far fourteen families have been
established in them. The fazenda
possesses pedigree stock, Swiss bulls
of pure race having been imported,
-and includes a dairy fitted With most
modern appliances, also from Switzer-
land, for making butter and cheese.

zenda for the purpose of instructing

ijbeen made for introducing colonists

Turkish Women’s Strong Point.
Turkish women are said to have one
ccomplishment in which they excel
the women of all other nationalities,
hey know how to sit. Hester Don-
ldson Jenkins calls attention to the
,ct that the Turkish verb to sit is
fused where occidentals would use to
’live, or stay, or visit. To the ques-
tion, “Where are you living?” one
gets the reply, “I am sitting in Stam-
boul.” Or, to the question, “Are you
married?" the answer will be “No, I
Hj *m sitting at home.” And when they
sit they sit quietly, "in the perfect
repose of a sleeping cat.” They don’t
have to keep their hands busy. They

Market Review.
Houston, Texas, Oct., 30. Cot-
ton and rice losses were great
during the big rains of the past
few days and the damage ap-
pears to be general over South
Texas. One rice man estimated
his loses at $1,000 a day, while
others admitted their crops were
near ruin. The Honduras variety
will suffer most, but much dam-
age was done to Japan. Harves-
ting is already thirty days late,
and the rains will put it off an-
other week or so. The weather
is causing Honduras rice to
sprout and the wind and rain is
battering down the Japan and
knocking the grain into the
ground. Serious damage is re-
ported from all rice fields.
But a week of cotton harvest
was secured between rains.
Other checks to the harvest was
the scarcity of hands. As a se-
quence cotton picking is at a
standstill again and the gins are
again idle. Serious losses are
being sustained.
The wet weather is reilected
in the Houston produce market
in light receipts in all branches
of country produce and the rain
kept the demand to a minimum.
Hens are scarce, yet the demand
is good and are firm at fifteen
cents per pound to the trade.
Scarcely any receipts of fresh
eggs ax-e on the market*, and the
heaviest handlers can get is two
to three cases per day. Houston
cold storage stocks are exhaus-
ted and the refrigerator produce
is coming in from Kansas, where
large stock were put in storage.
Butter is firm' in all lines and
there is little supply.
Card of Thanks.
T6 our many friends, who so
faithfully and willing’y minis-
tered unto us in my husband’s
continued sickness and (^eath,
I wish to express, as far as pos-
sible, my appreciation of the
many kindnesses extended us,
and I pray God’s richest bless-
ings upon each and all, assuring
you that memory will ever hold
dear these expressions of love
and friendship.

BEST OF PURIFYING AGENTS
Charcoal and Quicklime Are Nature’s
Remedy—How to Get Most Last-
ing Results.
Charcoal and quicklime are the best
known purifiers. The best plan for
utilizing charcoal in the food closet
or in the cellar bins where fruits or
vegetables are kept is to suspend it
in a net bag. Any coarse open net
will do. Make a number of bags suf-
ficiently large to bold several large
lumps of charcoal. Do not powder the
charcoal, but fill the bags with the
lumps, and after they have had an op-
portunity to display their marvelous
power to absorb all sorts of bad smells
and mustlness, and leave the atmos-
phere pure and sweet, their usefulness
will not be over. Remember that the
power of charcoal to serve its puri-
fying purposes is proportioned to its
freshness, and the freshening process
Is restored by heating. At least once
a week take the charcoal bags down,
empty them in a Are pot kept for the
purpose and heat the charcoal very
hoL The freshened lumps may then
be restored to the net bagB and serve
a new period of usefulness.
Boxes of lime and jars of plaster
are very effective in absorbing damp-
ness, but their useful properties are
not fully secured unless these disin-
fecting and purifying absorbents can
be placed in the best form to be effec-
tive and easily handled. In the form
of a pad with the layers of lime or
plaster or a combination of each even-
ly distributed, their absorbent quali-
ties will be more than doubled.
WOMEN’S BANK MEETS WANT
London Institution, Run By and For
the One Sex, Has Proved
a Success.
The possibilities of banking as a
career for women have been demon-
strated by Farrow’s Bank for Women,
which wob inaugurated a couple of
years ago in London, and which, man-
aged entirely by women, proved so
successful that it was recently moved
to new and enlarged quarters.
The bank’s success, in the opinion
of Mrs. Kate Reilly, the manager, is
largely due to the hearty support it
has received from women.
"The eagerness with which women
of all classes and from all parts of
the empire took up the idea of an in-
stitution devoted entirely to their
needs was in itself a proof that Far-
row’s novel departure was fulfilling a
long-felt want,” Mrs. Reilly said.
"Our bank gives women the privi-
lege of consulting one of their own
sex about their business affairs.
“The business transacted here is
the same as that transacted by any
other joint stock bank, and the fact
that all our staff consists of women is
good evidence that one sex is not
more gifted than the other in accu-
racy and a head for figures.
"A feature of our establishment
here is a rendezvous room for our
clients, where they can meet their
friends and write letters.”
NOT MEANT TO BE SERIOUS
Comparative Harmlessness of French
Duels lo Largely a Matter of
Arrangement.
A largo proportion of the duels in
France end without bloodshed. When
the offense is not very serious it is
agreed beforehand that the words of
command shall be given so rapidly
that the duelists will not have time
to take good aim. Sometimes three
shots are exchanged without a hit,
and then the seconds step in and—
“honor Is satisfied.” At the word
“Fire!” the pis’ol is raised instantly,
and it must be discharged not later
than the word “three,” so the speed
ylth which these words arc given
regulates the time in which it is pos-
sible to take aim. Therefore the speed
with which they are spoken is agreed
upon beforehand, this depending upon
the seriousness of the duel. The
words are timed with a metronome.
If the encounter be very serious this
is set at the slowest speed, 80 beats a
minute, which gives time for taking
accurate aim. A speed of 140 beats a
minute allows no time for aiming, and,
therefore, is used when the seconds
consider the duel should be made as
little dangerous as possible.

Unmannerly Tourists.
The Inlander is annoyed with the
tourist who visits him. The nature of
his complaint may be gathered from
the notice posted in the districts of
Lapland most visited by travelers,
which in several languages runs 'as
follows:
"Dear Tourist: What would you
say if an unknown individual with-
out asking your permission or even
knocking at your door pushed his way
into your home, made himflelf com-
fortable on your sofa, peered at every-
thing, rummaged everywhere, laugh-
ed at your domestic arrangements,
asked how much money you have,
wished to Interest himself in your
love affairs and seized hold of your
children to photograph them?
"What would you do with such an
unmannerly intruder?”_____
Manry and Miss Jennie Man-
ning were appointed to draw iq?
the contract.
A number of other importrnt
questions were discussed and
several committees appointed to
ass st in ti e preparation of the
work.
The Association adjourned to
meet again Monday at 2 p. m.
