to talk little, 50 I'll cen tell you some
thing Of the history OF the inhabitants
OF that same swallows nest.
Some time Sg0 | noticed the swallow

fOrtably In his nest and fussy sort OF
an Old fellow be Wss-runniDg first one
way and then another, collecting sticks

gathered under his sheltering wings. But

departed, sakiBg q neighboriBg dove TO

swallow, who, after season, hndlng ne

concluded 70 fall back Oh the old mast, and
the cry which attracted my attention
came from the disappointed swallow,
who, returning weary and diEbeaTtened,
with al the gliding and furnishing gone
from his wings, thought TO take quiet
possession OF his deserted nest, and and
3 welcome from the brood. Bat no; the
dove has hOversd over and fed the brood
until they refuse to recognize the care
and protection Ct any other; and the
swallow, altering loud cries, which were
heard long distance, few away, regret
alas too late, poor, foolish

THE ClTIEs--BUENos AYREs.
To the cities Col. Sarlniento attributes
whatever advance has been made in civ
ilization and good government. At
present, he says, they are borne down to
the level of barbarism. Of Buenos
Ayres he says:
" In 1896 the attention Of English
speculators was turned to South Ameri-
ca, and especially attracted to Buenos
Ayres by its river and its probable fu-
ture. In 1910 Buenos Ayres was filed
with partizans of the revolution, bitterly
hostile to anything originating in Spain
or any part Of Europe A germ of pro-
gress, then, was still alive west of the La
Plata. The Spanish colonies cared moth
ing for commerce or navigation. The
RIO de la Plata was of small Importance
to them. The Spanish disdained it and
Its banks. As time went on, the river
proved to have deposited its sediment of
wealth upon those banks, but very little
Of Spanish modes of government. Com
mercial activity had brought thither the
spirit and the general ideas Of Europe !;

GREAT RIVERS UNUSED.

The great rivers which drain the pain
pas are regarded rather as hindrances
than as helps by the gauches.
Thus, says the author, the foun-
tain Of national growth, the origin of
the eaEly celebrity of Egypt, the cause
Of Hollands greatness, and of the rapid
development of North America, the nav
igation Of rivers, or the use of canals,
remains latent power unappreciated
by the inhabitants Of the banks of the
Bermejo, Piicomayo, Parana and Para
quay. A few small vessels, manned by
Italians and adyenturers, sail up. stream
from The Plata, but after ascending a few
leagues. even this navigation ceases. The
instinct Of the sailor, which the Saxon
coloaists Of the North Possesses in SO
high a degree, was not bestowed upon
the Spaniard. Another spirit is needed
70 stir these arteries in which nations
blood now lies stagnant, OF all
these rivers, which should bear civiliza-
ton, power and wealth TO the most hid
den recesses Of the continent, and make
