Pleasures of Travel.
One of the charms of travel, says a
well-known writer, is to encounter
people or scenes which remind us of
home. A Cape Coed man who left his
native port many years ago, and had
spent the greater part of his time in
England, recently went to Kingston,
Jamaica.
One day, while waiting for a train to
Port Antonio, he noticed a tall, young
man, evidently a stranger.
“He was white and I was white, and
that was enough,’ ‘said the Cape Cod
man, in telling the story.
“I spoke to him, and asked if he was
as far from home as I was, mentioning
London as my home. He responded
that his home was San Francisco, and
we were soon exchanging confidences.
He said his people moved to California
four years before from Massachusetts.
I asked him what place in Massachu-
setts, and he said Wellfleet; said he was
born in Wellfleet. I asked him in what
part of the town his folks had lived,
and he said the southern part, and I
could see he was smiling at my cu-i-
osity.
“Was your place.anywhere near the
old Cromwell place?” said I. w
“He looked at'me in astonishment.
“‘Why yes,” said he, ‘the very next
farm.’ :
“Well, said I, ‘then your name 1s
Jones. Mine is Cromwell, and I own
the old place, and some of my folks
live in it.’
“You can imagine whether we felt
acquainted or not after that. His father
and I had been boys together. Well,
sir, meeting young Jones was the most
pleasant part of my trip to Jamaica.
You can't tell what good fortune may
befall you when you start on a jour-
ney.
Elections in Brazil.
A writer in Argonaut declares that in
Brazil the elections are a farce. The
ballots are hardly ever counted, for the
government nominates its ticket, and
then, after an election, announces all
its candidates elected. “A. year or so
ago,” he sdys, “an American, who had
settled in Bahia, the second largest city
in Brazil, was made an election clerk,
and was told to bring the returns from
an interior town into Bahia. After the
election had closed, the clerk took the
returns and hastened away, guarding
them with the greatest care. He rode
his horse hard, for he felt that the sus-
pense would be great at Bahia until the
returns he was carrying were received.
What was his chagrin, therefore, to
hand his package over to the chief
election clerk, only to see it thrown
into the waste-basket.
“‘Here, what are
shouted.
“Throwing them away,’ was the an-
swer, ‘we don't need them now.
“‘Don’t need them? stammered the
American, who had been brought ug
to regard a violation of the election
laws as treasonable.
“The government has elected its men
already,” was the answer; ‘we don't
need any more votes.’
"Here the inspector opened the pack:
age and showed the astonislied Ameri
can a quantity of blanks, each of which
was signed, with a space to be filled
in with any number necessary to elect
the government candidates.”

Catarrh of the Pelvic Organsis a Fre-
quent Cause of Barrenness.
Pe-ru=na Eradicates Catarrh From
the System,
O the woman of ancient Israel not to
become a mother was regarded as the
greatest of earthly calamities. To
become a mother—more especially the
mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the
height of glory for the faithful woman of
the good old Bible days. Even now, when
maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the
mother of healthy children is an object
of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors. As compared with ancient
pdoples, the average American woman has
a low appreciation of motherhood. There
are, however, a great many exceptions to
this statement.
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong,
healthy and happy mothers need no-added
words of ours to make them convincing.
Catarrh had weakened and impaired their
entire systems. Peruna made them sound
and well.
Mrs. Li. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho, writes:
