ARGENTlNA's DEBTS AND PROSPECTS.

A new president has just been elected
for Argentina. and new interest is
awakened in this interesting republic, 80
badly mis-governed, but with such abund-
ant resources. Few countries have at
tracted so great attention throughout the
world. few years ago it set out on
boom, and English capitalists went heartily
into the business of helping it, by supply
ing all the money the enterprise might call
for. The boom came in due time, and
very creditable affair it was. The govern
ment invited immigration from all parts of
the world, and not only paid the fare OF
immigrants coming to the country, but
cent them into the interior at public ex-
pense to the points they desired to reach.
The result Of this accommodating policy
was a steady immigration which in 1890
reached the number of 100000,
nearly half being Italians, and the
others Spaniards, Portuguese and French.
A considerable number of the new corners
were undesirable citizens, and the quality
of the whole immigration became SO bad
that the government was forced to aban-
don the policy of paying their fares.
The population of the country is about
100000, but everything is adjusted to five
times as many. The public debt Is at least
$40 for every soul, and in addition there
are the debts of the provinces and of
Buenos Ayres which increase the sum to
S115 per capita. Under the system of ma
tional banks the paper currency reached a
volume Of 800, O00,O00 and this money WAS
, issued on 'cedulas," or farm mortgages,
until nearly the entire area of farming
lands in the country was covered. Rail
roads and other public works on large
} scale were planned and built with
English money, and everythi =
the appearance of prosperity, trade
. being good, prices high and
money abundant. But the boom began to
show signs of exhaustion when the balance
} Of trade ran larger against the country year
after year; the paper money fell to two
} fifths of It's face value, and all the coin had
J to be shipped abroad to pay the trade bal
ances and the interest on the public debts

The devil is doing his best to make people
think that hell is delightful summer resort.
Comparing your sins with those Of other peo

A Christian with long face hurts the cause

INSECTS FOR FOOD.

Some days ago The HERALD discoursed
upon edible bacteria as found in milk,
cream and cheese. And now comes
the agricultural department at Wash
lngton, through Prof. RILEY, with
bill Of fare consisting of grasshop-
per soup, wasp grubs. moths. beef braise
with caterpillars, and ant lemonade.
Grasshoppers are found by entomologists
to be both palatable and nutritious. They
are boiled for two hours with butter (salt
and spices added) to consistency of beef
broth. Wasp grubs are fried in butter. a
beverage in imitation of lemonade is made
by MASKING up ants, a few hundred at
time, with a pestle in mortar, the liquid
from which, after being strained, is mixed
with sugar and water, just like lemon
juice. No doubt this makes our readers
mouths water, or perhaps the thought may
set their teeth on edge which, by the way,
is the proper position for teeth.
AS to grasshoppers, or locusts, as they
were called in ancient times, they were
prescribed by MOSES to the children Of
Israel: "The'e may ye eat-Jhe locust
the bald locust, the beetle and the grass
hoppers." In selecting caterpillars. 1t il
desirable to eat only those that do not feec
on poisonous plants, AID for this reason i
is better to let some caterpillar sharp, OF
expert, gather them for you. The common
! fly is an unclean feeder, but some of the
insectivora are very dainty epicures, sub
sisting on the most delicate food only, anC
there is no reason, therefore, that they
should not make good provender. Ever
