omethinR About the Financial Affairs
of the Argentine Republic.

AOOuL Lu6 FINANCIAL Affairs
of the Argentine Republic.
Speaking of the financial affairs of the
Argentine Republic Mr.. Allen F. Hall of
No. Z. Mills street, said to an Atlanta Jour
nal reporter:
81 recently saw statement in your paper
in regard to the finances of the Argentine
Republic being i'll a very bad condition, as
the premium on gold had advanced to 2O2
per cent. and that the President had au-
thorized the issue of bank notes to the
amount of 5000, 100000 to relieve the finan-
cial situation. The finances of this country
must have improved wonderfully since the
year 1864, when l left there in the
month Of October for the states
At that time, and for years previ-
Gus, gold dollar was worth from $27 to
$29 in bank notes Of the Banco National of
Buenos AyreS, the only bank of issue in the
country. The only way it redeemed its
own issue was by issuing new notes for the
and worn that they would not
pass. The price of everything was made
III the paper money. For instance, board
from $500 to 5000 per month, cigars from
five for 81 to SO each, and they were cheaper
and better than they are here, the highest
priced ones being the best, imported
Havanas,. that would easily sell
mere Tor 70 cents each. A
man in Buenos Ayres would think moth
ing of having from 81, 900 to IS, 900 in his
pocket, and then have very little. brought
home about 5000 of the currency, which
gave away as curiosities in the way of
money. The only promise of redemption
the Banco National makes is promise to
redeem their notes in current money, and
their notes, being the only current money in
circulation, are what you are paid when
s,rlr EAr 49,
has advanced in value to being worth half
as much as gold it certainly is vast inn
provement on what it was twenty six years
ago"

Amending His Prayer.
Buffalo Courier


The infant son of pious North street
father, in whose family prayers are said
t morning and evening, was taken i'll and
.. the physician administered medicine.
On being put TO bed the little fellow was
advised by his Christian mother TO pray
that his health be restored. So kneeling
at his crib, his little lips lisped: "God
|, bless papa, God bless mama, God bless
every body; God bless the doctor and the
, med elm to make me well. Amen
Next morning the poor little chap was
! worse, and he alarmed his fond parents
by symptoms of scepticism as to the
efficacy of prayer. He was admonIshed
that perhaps the Lord was not quite
ready to answer his prayer, and to try
again. So kneeling the second night he
prayed thus: "God bless papa, God
bless mama, God bless everybody. God
bless the doctor; and 1 hope to God the
med ,ciu will work tonight. Amen. -
The boy got well.

The Abuse of Coffee,
British. Medical Journal.


L DR.. F. Mendef has recently enjoyed
opportunities of studying the results of
an unbridled abuse of coffee, and his re-
suits are now published. The great in
dustrlal center round Essen includes a
very large female population. While
the women of the working classes in this
country are often addicted to dosing
themselves with tea that had stood too
long, it appears that the workmen 8
wives at Essen drink coffee from morning
TILL night. Some consume over a pound
OF CeylOn coffee weekly, and one pound
contains over sixty-four grains of caf-
feIue. In consequence nervous, muscu-s
lar and circulatory disturbances are fire.
uuent. The nerve symptoms are char
acteriZed by feeling of general weak
ness, depression of spirits and aversion
for labor even in industrious subjects,
with headache and insomnia.
A strong dose of coffee causes the en-
poraTy disappearance of all these symp-
toms. The muscular symptoms consist
of distinct muscular weakness and
trem bling OF the hands even during rest.
The circulatory symptoms are marked by
"a small rapid, irregular pulse and feeble
impulse of the apex of the heart. Pal

You sometimes see q woman whose old
age Is as exquisite as was the perfect

densed sweetness and grace. You won
der how this has come about; you wo nder
haw it is her life has been q long and
happy one. Here are some OF the res-
sons:
She knew how to forget disagreesble

She understood the art of enjoyment.
She kept her nerves well in hand, and
inflicted them on no one.
She believed in the goodness of her
own daughters, and in that Of her neigh
bors.
She cultivated good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying pleasant
words.
She did not expect too much from her
friends.
She made whatever work came to her
congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did not
believe that all the world was wicked
and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and syWpa-
thized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition and
made the best of everything.
She did whatever came to her cheer
fully and well.
She never forgot that kind words and q
smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures to the discouraged.

about her head, she is loved and con-
sidersd.
This is the secret of a long life and 9
happy one.

THE C0LORED RACE,
What Texas Has Done and IS Doing for the
COIored People.

What Texas Has Done and is Doing for tn,
COIOred People.
AUSTIN, Ten, April Ex-Governor
Ross has prepared paper relative to
what as being done for the coIored race
and from it the following extract is
taken:
l. The scholastic population of the
State of Texas for the fiscal year ending
August 81, 1889, is 523, ITO.
2 The scholastic population is divid ed
with reference to color in the proportion
oI one negro child TO three white chill
dren.
3. The amount of public money ey-
pended during the fiscal year ending
August 81, 1889, for educational mr.
poses from school funds was 81 9gS -
a41 SO. To this amount should be added
expenditures from funds derived from
sales Of bonds in cities and towns for
building and equIpping school houses.
S3OU 900, making total expenditure for
educational purposes of So PCS, 347 50.
This amount does not include the ey
pendltuTes for the state university. the
Agricultural ana Mechanical college the
deaf and dumb and blind institutes.
which aggregate $500 900, giving a total
Of So ,49S ,347 80.
1. No distinction is made on the basis
OF color in the distribution of the school
fund, such distinction being forbidden
both by the organic and statutory law
and a. matter of fact none has been
made
.. The proportion OF taxes levied for
school purposes ,. paid by the colored tax
payers of the state is about one-th:rty- |
thlrd or the entire amount of taxes |
levied and paid for this purpose.
3. One state normal schooI-the sam
houston normal institutes supported |
by the state for the education of white |
teachers, and one state normal school
the Prairie View institutes supported
by the state for the education of colored |
teachers. The annual state appropria-
lions TO these schools pay the salaries of
the Faculties of the schools and furnish
scholarships TO about 200 students in adj
dltlon- The buildings and grounds of
the normal school for the negroes are
superior TO those of the normal school
supported for white teachers.
Z. During the past ten years the Dub-
nc school system or this state has been
oulIt up, practically alb initio, so that |
me average school term of the state ia
about lilo months, and the average |
salaries of the teachers about SIS ner

Switzerland is the country for tramps.

Switzerland is the country for tramps.
A tramp happened to be bitten in the
hand some time ago by the watchdog of
a house which he had incautiously en-
tered for the purpose of exercising his
profession. Although the bite wss not
of a severe nature, yet the tramp had
the nerve to bring suit against the owner
of the dog and to claim damages on the
ground that the bite had incspacitated
him for work. The Swiss court at
Zurich at once recognized the justice of
his demands. It declares explicitly that
the owner of house is responsible for
the safety of all persons who come to see
him, even when the visit is for the pur-
pose of making an appeal to his benev-
olenoe.
