PROGRESS IN SOUTH AMERICA.
 The South Americans are rapidly waking up. There has been 'boom" in the Argen- tine Republic which would do credit to one of the western States of this country. Brazil has been turned into a republic without bloodshed, And the building up of the Transandean railroad is under such hesdwav that the prediction is made that 1t will be ready for business in 1899. This road will connect Buenos Ayres, the great port of the Atlantic coast of South America, with val- paraiseo, the great commercial port of the Pacific coast. The distance will be 871 miles, not nearly as long as the single line of con- nection of either of our great Pacific roads which begin west of the Mississippi, but the difficulties which will be encountered by the engineers are fully ss great and in many in- stances greater. There are now finished about 725 miles, which cover the passage of the Andes, at Cumber Pass, an elevation of 10, 450 feet above sea level, about 2,500 feet below the summit of the pass, which is 13,- O15 feet high, tunnel three miles long piercing the mountain at that height. There is no other railroad in the world that has anything like the same altitude, the highest European road, the Rigi, reaching an eleva- tion of only 5,75s feet. Necessarily the grades are very steep, and the operation of the road will entail a great expense.
 The railroad development of South Ameri- ca has been rapid lately. There are now 15,000 miles of railroad in operation there, and there will soon be 1000.

REGENT PUBLICATIONS.

Robert Thorne has prepared a unique ref erence book, entitled Fugitive Facts" Mir. Thorne, recognizing the fact that the ency- clopedias rarely contain those particular and curious things which people want to know about, set himself at work gathering from odd hooks and corners such facts of an in teresting nature as might have been over- looked in the larger encyclopedias. He was eminently successful and his volume of near ly 500 pages bristles with queer facts which are of real interest. He has treated over 1000 topics, in a condensed and readable manner. A few topics will serve to show the scope of the work; all Fools Day, the Ameri- cas- cup, Balm of Gilead, Beating the Bounds, Blue Stockings, Coal used by Steamers, Con- federate treasure, Imprisonment for Death, Discovery of Coal in America, aretna Green marriages, Jelly Fishes, Jerked beef, Jingo and Jingoism, Liberty Cup, Photograph, Language of Postage Stamps. Signals, Wind and Weather, Standard Time. Submarine boats. For sale at all booksellers.

THE ATHLETIC MAIDEN.

Brawn Versus Peaches and Cream.
 [Lopdon letter to the San Francisco Argonaut.1
 If one may judge by the constant referen ce to the fact in the American papers, it won Id seem that the American girl (as she is found at home, for I certainly have yet seen no sample on this side.) has become an athle te. I, of course, refer to the fashionable girl. Whether this is another phase of anglomaaia or not, do not know, but am inclined to suspect it is. All can cay is, if this be true, and there ought to be no reason to doubt it. the American girl is making big mistake. Her mistake is two-fold. In tho frat place, in 'Roing in" for athletics, either for sport or exercise, she is not initiating the best class of English girl, as no doubt she fondly imagines; and, in the second, in thus masculining herself, she is destroying her greatest charm and attraction in English eyes. Apart from her easy, self-possessed manners, her. conversational powers, her store of information on all subjects, and her money, her delicate skin, peach-iike com plexionand fragile frame have given her

In 1887 the number of read ers had risen to 182, ,776, or an average of 602 per diem, and the number of books sup piled to them to 1,s52, ,725.

 The number of Galician peasants who are said to have been dscoyed into emigration by the agents who are now on their trial at wadowice. is over thirteen thousand, of whom six thousand are not yet released from mili- tary service, and consequently became de- serters. Many of these wretehed people sold their lands to the emigration agents to pay for grants of land promised them in Anaeri- ca. Their ignorance was so gross that the agents hoaxsd them in hundred ways. For instance, an electric bell was set up, and some of the intending emigrants were told that it was telegraph communicating with the palace of the emperor of America. The credulous peasants applied for grants of land by telegraph, and when the bell tinkled, bringing them, as they were informed, 8 favorable reply. they were made to pay the cost of the imaginary telegram, with heavy fees besides.
 The correspondent of the London Times at Constantinople, speaking of the visit of the German emperor, says: The Turks are 8 lethargic and silent, but wondering race, and they were struck with great sstonish- ment to behold the contrast between their own ruler, pale, decrepit and eternally ap- prehensive of death or dethronement, living a life in fact of terror, irresolution and self- imposed captivity, and the young northern emperor, who, mounted on a handsome Arab steed, gayly rode through the tortuous and crowded streets of Stambul, looking the per- feet picture of fearlessness and vigor; who was abroad long before the muezzins from to morning prayer, scoursing from point to point of the city with the energy of a vigi- lant commander, carefully Einspeoting every point in his line of defence; ever on the move and in the public eye. Such was the contrast which made the gazing Turks won- der and exclaim, as heard prominent man among them do, that this, indeed, was g proper young emperor, the like of whom would be blessing to meribund Turkey.

WOMAN IN RUSINEss.


 Woman, with large W, will have to saying in the North American Review that Woman is not a good business man. She does not hesitate to say that when given em. ployment woman's ways are not likely to be business-like. Behind the counter she will hum tune, gossip or have altercationf with her mates. If she is young she will be vivacious or kittenish. Her mind and eysf appear to be doing double duty. It is more difficult to keep girls and boys under disci pline in a mercantile establishment. The former know that they arc less likely to be discharged. If they are negligent and are even gently reproved they will sulk, snivel o1 cry. No man, whether proprietor, manager or floor walker, wishes to have "scene" in place of business. He will avoid it if pos. sible. The sight of tears renders him more uncomfortable than the sight of flowing blood. He does not know whether 8 flow of tears expresses an apology, regret, penitence or despair. He is as quick, however, to stor the leak in the eyes as 8 sea captain is to fill up hole in the bottom of q vessel. He does not discharge the girl or even reprove hel again. but he hires men and boys in the flu ture. Meu prefer to work by the piece, VIC men by the day. Men have ambition; we men hope. A man or boy is proud of being engaged in some profitable employment. but a woman apologies for being engaged in it. She is fond of telling people that she has seer better days. and often states to her employe, or @ customer that she was ''born lady and was forced by misfortune to earn he, own living. She is likely to rely on sympa. thy to help her in getting a situation or in selling goods.
 We do not undertake to say that all this is true. But one thing is true, and that is that 1t would be good thing for Woman if che could be we'll married and not have to at- tend, even in an imperfect way, to business.

 President Flagler of the Standard Oil com pany has. during the past year, built four new churches. Those who have tried to fol low the speculative performances of the Standard Oil company during the last year haven't built any churches. And many of them wouldn't take much satisfaction in worshipping in one of MT. Flagler's churches.
 De Millefsurs, French professor of chem istry, recently exhibited before meeting of Parisian scientists several bricks of petroleum which he has discovered how to solidify by an original process. The petroleum bricks were hard enough to be handled without inconvenience, yet soft enough to be cut with stout knife. They burned slowly when touched with lighted match. Mille- feurs says they are non-explosive and inex- pensive.
 Ballot reform continues to find favor. A canvass of the mayors of Maine cities, county attorneys, and prominent Republi- cans on ballot reform brought out replies which were all but four in favor of adopting the Australian system. The Portland Ad- vertiser says editorially: Now that this system has operated successfully in Massa- chusetts there can no longer be any doubt that the next legislature in Maine will pass a similar law without serious opposition. MT. George Ticknor Curtis protests against making the Democratic party free trade par l ty, though to free trade party, which does not pretend to be Democratic, he has no obiec- tion. He has written letter, first to show that production of our iron industries was regarded by tho men who made and estab. lished the constitution as an object to be secured by legislation, of equal importance with revenue in levying duties on foreign merchandise and products. and second, to warn the Democratic party that if they dis. card the principle and practice of protection, they will come to grief.
