ARGENTINA,S DERTS.

ARGENT1NA,S DEBTS.
British investors have no reason to feel
particularly cheerful over the outlook for
their investments in Argentina. The pub
lie debt statement of that country shows
that the national debt is $481 Zoo, 900, and
the annual interest charge is $22, ZOO, 600.
But this does not tell the whole story, for
the provincial debts amount to $142, $780,
900, and there is floating debt of $15,-
zoo, 200, currency debt of $50, 1000, 900, a
railroad debt of $50, 900, 900, and to crown
all are the csdulas, amounting to $109, ,100,-
900. This statement makes the aggregate
Indebtedness for which the government is
responsible sSSs, $50, 900, the annual inter
est charge on which is SAG, SOC, 900 in gold.
AS the population is hardly 5000, 900,
the principal of the debt is about SITS for
each inhabitant on the average, or say
$500 for each family. The interest charge
is over $3.50 per head, or SAG. so per family.
1t is doubtful if the entire realized wealth
of the country is equal to the total indebt-
edness, as the people outside of the cities
are comparatively poor. The debt per
head is more than sixteen times and the
interest charge more than twenty-five times
that of the United States, while the peo-
pie of this country are at least twice as
we'll able to bear the burden of debt as the
people of Argentina.
Good judges think that the country can
not possibly pay more that one per cent.
interest on its debt for ten or twenty
years to come. 1t is thought that if moth
ing happens to prevent in forty years, full
payment of interest may be made.

WHY Feet give Us Trouble.

Tight boots induce congestion Of veins
at the extremities by the same process that
produces great warts upon trees where
there is an interruption of the sap as the
result of some accident; and punches quite
as unsightly and far more troublesome
grow upon the feet to be concealed and,
worse, to be endured. But while the tree
when thus deformed is often valued for
its prettily twisted grain and is carved
into objects of beauty, the gnarls upon the
poorly cared for or badly shod foot of man
produce nothing but unmitigated misery.
Few persons take daily plunge bath, and
lie they do it is seldom of sufficient warmth
to gotten the rough scarfskin that is apt to
become too thick and create unhealthiness
or discomfort.
A quick daily sponging of the body Is
customary with the majority, but this doef
not afford suficient care for the feet which
are SO tightly imprisoned the greater por
| ton of the time. 1t is an excellent plan tc
leave the feet as nearly uncovered while II
one,s chamber and while dressing as thu
warmth of the room will permit. At leas
twice week the feet should be LITERAL,
