seemed dust and ashes, and he asked for death

completion Of the last task that devotion and
genius could perform in honor of the hopeless

Beatrice was dead.
In that brief sentence is sounded the key
note of the great Florentnes anguish and
ambition. Beatrice Portinari had been the
love of his youth and the star of his adora
ton during manhoods earlier years. She
was a star indeed To the gifted Italian for he
worshiped her afar, and she became the wife
of another. This he could endure, but in the
sudden announcement of her demise lay tor
ture. No more might the gallant but re-
spectful admirer view from a distance the
queenly form of his ideal woman as she
sought the solace of priestly counsel in the
vast and superb cathedral of Santa Maria del
Fore or strayed in medltative mood along
the wooded banks of the broad and placid
Arno. Yet solace came with sorrow. Be-
fore his distracted mental gaze there rose the
vision, white and pure and beautiful, of her to
whom he had rendered homage. Freed from
earthly drosS and human weakness, she SEEM
ed to beckon her lover to the lofty heights of
endeavor and endurance, and from that Wis
ion rose the aspiration so gloriously to be full

lie, of persecution, of wanderingS, and from
the glorious pinnacle of achievement he was
enabled to look down upon a world that
hailed him master of loves loftiest imagery
and language. Yet toward the end he wore
the scars of conflict, and of him in his old age
it is sung:
No dream his life was but a fight
Could any Beatrice see

Who could have guessed the visions came

A banshed man, without country, Dante

Cross saddle riding already has a rival in a
new agitation for the extension of womans
liberty in an entirely different direction. A
county court judge recently decided that the
fact of three lady's tailor made dresses being

Dom Pedro in Exile.

Pathetic is that interview with the e1-
emperor of Brazil at Cannes. Bereft at
once of crown, wife and fortune, the
only consolation left him is literary pur-
suits, which he always loved, but had
little time for hitherto. The memoirs of
his life that the imperial exile is writing
will give the true story OF the Brazilian
revolution rs the fatherly old emperor
saw it, but he will not let them be pub
lished till after his death. He is positive
that the abolition of slavery caused the
revolution.
Count d'Eu, Pedro'5 unpopular son-in-
law, wishes ven now to go back and
fight it out, but the exile will not hear of
this. He said to his interviewer:
Although dethroned and cruelty exiled, I am
deeply interested in the progress and prosperity
of the people of Brazil. God knows 1 did all in
my power to give them q satisfactory government,
but, at last, waiting ambition took flight above
reason and seemed to compel obedience to its be-
hests, whether right or wrong.
The old gentleman will not be apt to
live long. His heart is still with his be-
loved Brazil. He refuses to sell his es-
tates there. The correspondent asked
him:
IF you should be elected president of the re-
public, as some of your friends propose to offer
your name, would you return to Brazil?''
DON Pedro-With all my heart. No matter
whether as emperor, president or private citizen,
I would gladly return to die among my people.
Would it not be strange if the present
generation should see Dom Pedro again
at the head of Affairs in Brazil, this time
as president?

Borrowing Our Name.

Some neighbors to the south Of us who
desire to become q strong, prosperous
people are endeavoring to make a fed
Grafton of the five Central American gov
ernments under the name of United
States of Central America. Articles of
confederation were formed some time
ago by q congress Of delegates from the
republics that met in the state and city
of San Salvador. The compact was her
submitted to the republics for r~atifica-
ion. Honduras, San Salvador and Guat-
emala have ratified; the other two, Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua linger. The union
sentiment is said not to be popular in
Costa RIGA. But if the confederation
should be formed there will then be the
United States Of Central America.
The United States of Mexico was pro-
claimed in 1924, New Granada became
the United States of Colombia in 1861
and Venezuela took the name Of United
States of Venezuela in 1864. The last is
the United States Of Brazil in 1889.
Meantime if Nicaragua and Costa Rica
pass the articles Of confederation previ-
Gus to August, 1890, the congress of del
egates will meet and choose from one Of
their number (by lott a president. Then
until a constitution is adopted perma-
nently the presidency will be shared by
the five republics in turn.

Growth of American Cities.

The peculiar feature in the increase OF
the population of the United States is
the marvellous growth of cities. The
country started with 4 population almost
purely agricultural. In 1850 there were
only SIS cities that had an average popu-
lation of $4,000. In 1880 there were ESQ
cities with IN average population of
80, 800.
The population of the whole country
is sixteen times as great as it was i'll 1890,
but our city population is 100 times a.
great. In 1890 the population of the
cities formed only one-thirtieth of the
whole number. In 1880 it was nearly
one-quarter. Whether this means good
or i'll to the country, time only can tell.
Mr.. Alfred Bushnell Hart points out in
The Harvard Journal of Economics that
this great increase in city population is
owing to our vast foreign immigration.
In the census of 1880 the proportion of
foreigners to natives in the whole Union
was Is per cent, but in the cities it was
81 per cent. In tbs anger cities the dis
proportion was startling. In 1880 80 per
cent. Of the population Of Boston was
foreign born, Of New York 40 per cent,
and of San Francisco - per cent
