FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
—
«*t Warranted by Number of Kaioort
Subjects at Present Residing in j
South America.
German migration to Sooth j
America, and especially to soma
of the southern states of Brazil,1
is periodically a cause of com- j
ment and concern to some who;
think they see therein a sinister!
scheme of imperial conquest.
For two or three strong reasons,
says the New York Tribune, such j
fears seem to us to be not well
founded. One such reason is
that the number of Germans in j
Brazil is not, after all, ominous
ly large. Tbe total population of
Brazil, according to the census
of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later
census returns are available, but
careful estimates now place the
total at more than 17,000,000, of
which number less than 3,000,000
are Indians and negroes, leaving
certainly more than 14,000,000
whites. Of these, in 1901, only
2,700,000 were immigrants, and
of the latter number only 300,000
were Germans.
The latest and highest esti
mate of the number of Germans
in Brazil is only 450,000, or a lit
tle over three per cent, of the
whole. Really, we cannot regard
that as a dangerous percentage.
Nor does it represent the largest
foreign element, by any means.
Portuguese immigrants into Bra
zil are twice as numerous, and
Italians three times as numer*
ous, as tne Germans. JNor yet
are these Germans so massed in
eertain states as to form a ma
jority of their population, as
some hare imagined. Germans
are most numerous in Bio
Grande do Sul, where there are
200,000 of them, but the whole
population of the state is 900,000,
so that the Germans are less
than one-fourth. In Santa Catha
rina the Germans are 100,000 in a
total of 300,000, or one-third,
the largest proportion in any
state. In Parana they are 47,000
in 280,000, and in Sao Paulo 30,
000 in 1,430,000.
It is pointed out as ominous
that these Germans continue to
use their own language, to pub
lish newspapers in German and
to demand the official use of that
language in courts and schools.
Well, the same may be said of
Germans in New York, and in
Milwaukee, and in many other
parts of the United States.
The conquest which Germany j
hopes for in Brazil is not polit-1
ical, but commercial. The profit
she looks for in.this migration of
her subjects is to be found in in
creased commerce. In that Ger
many reckons shrewdly. Every
shipload of Germans landed in
Brazil creates a demand for
many shiploads of German man
ufactured goods. Every so-called
German colony in Brazil means
a market for German trade.
Upon this feature of the case to«
much stress cannot easily be laid.
Provisions from Trues.
There is a tree which grows in
Sumatra, Algeria and China which
is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. From its fruit large quanti
ties of oil and tallow are extract
ed, and the fruit is gathered in
November or December, when all
the leaves have fallen. Excellent j
candles are made from the berries '
of a tree which grows in some
parts of South Africa and the
Azores. At Sierra Leone is found
the cream fruit tree, the fruit of j
which is very agreeable in taste, i
In Ceylon there is the breadfruit
tree, from which a food is made in
the same way that we make bread.
Itissaidto be equally good and on
tritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Curioua Incident
A man on Twenty-third street
furnished much amusement to a
number ot people on a recent
windy afternoon by a predicament
he fell in^o, or rather that fell
onto him A large gunny sack
dropped from the roof of one of
the buildings, and, a3 it descend
ed, filled with air, coming dowa
with mouth wide open, like a bal
loon. It struck the unfortunate
man squarely over the head, cov
ering him completely down be
low the shoulders, and pinioning
his arms so that he had difficulty
in extricating himself. He strug
gled as if he thought he was being
kidnaped anti) he managed to get
the sack off his head.—N. Y. Post.
COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plana a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Haas Ablehaason, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expease of a western rail
road magnate, as a r^ult of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly*received >25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
tun to be a tramp.
“He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to lire
in when he gets too old to catch freights.
bo long as he had to buildhimself a home,
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
"He plans to put all of his money In
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he* argues that by a little work,
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon he
is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon as he finds one he will take
his money out of the bank and build."
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE

tne right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by member!
of the sodality, and written in either
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans,
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate. Conception,
1854-1904.”

work.

; A Living
Monument.
If we were to assemble all
those who have been cured of
heart disease by Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure, and who would
to-day be in their graves had
not Dr. Miles’ been successful
in perfecting this wonderful
heart specific, they would pop
ulate a large city.
What a remarkable record—
a breathing, thinking, moving
monument, composed of human
lives,—that for which every
other earthly possession is sac
rificed.
The Miles Medical Co. re
ceive thousands of letters from
these people like the following:
“I feet Indebted to the Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure for my life. I desire to call
the attention of others suffering as I
did to this remarkable remedy for the
heart. For a long time I had suffered
from shortness of breath after any
little exertion, palpitation of the heart;
and at times terrible pain In the region
of the heart, so serious that I feared
that I would some time drop dead upon
the street. One day I read one of your
circulars, and immediately went to
my druggist and purchased two bot
tles of the Heart Cure, and took it
according to directions, with the
result that I am entirely cured. Since
then I never miss an opportunity to
recommend this remedy to my friends
who have heart trouble; in fact I am
a traveling advertisment. for I am
widely known in this locality.”

Manager of Lebanon Democrat,
