sin premio nj interes de ningdn g&nero; pero es-
taria escrito, como dicen los mahometanos: el ce-
loso Alcalde, el que de TODD en- absolute Sc. ocu-

The large deal in Central Argen- tine Railway stock, says the Trans port, which recently took place in London, has caused no little com ment in city circles. It appears that two years ago Messrs. Barring Brothers & Go. advanced about $5,000,000 to the Argentine Govern. ment against the security of $8,500,- 0G0 Central Argentine Railway stock. When the Barring liquida- ton began, the Argentine Govern ment paid off S1, 100000 of this loan, which not long had been fur ther reduced to 2,500,000. The whole transaction has been cleared off by sale of the railway stock to some influential buyers, who intend holding it for the next two or three years in expectation of a market rise in the value of the property.

Wilson Barrett tells the following story of his childhood: Forty years ago three little boys adver- tised show to be given in the barn belonging to the father of one of them near Manchester, England. The price of admission was three pins, or six pins for a reserved seat. The play was an adoption of Julius Cesar and the parts of 'C@sar,' Marc Antony and 'Brutus' were taken by three boys, none of whom was over four years of age. A re- tired actor, then living in Manches- ter, came to see the children play, and after the performance remark ed that he had never seen anything just like 1t before. One of those children was myself, the others were my dear friends, Henry Irving and John Toole."

the climax of that slow and secu- lar movement by which the masses have risen from slavery to serfdom, from serfdom to villeinage, from villeinage to free contract, and free contract to citizenship-a move ment without leadership and almost without direction from anyone, but rather the inevitable effect of the slowly increasing wealth of man. kind as the products of industry continued to accumulate. From a position below the law workmen have advanced first to position against the law, then to a position within the law, and now are rising to a position to make the law The Social Economist.

A rural farming district in Mich igan has provided itself with tele- graph line eight miles in length, connecting a large number of scat tered farms with the village store, the proprietor of which officiates as telegraph operator, express agent, postmaster and so on. The total cash expenditure for the outfit is said to have been only some $200, while the expense of maintenance, which is but q trifling sum, is as- sessed equally upon the owners. The small cost and enormous con- venience of such a system as this in country districts ought to lead to a more general adoption of the plan. Especially after the expiration of the telepnone patents in 1894, such a system of intercommunication by wire would be possible in every township throughout the country. The individual expense would be almost insignificant, and in the item of useless travel alone would save many times it's cost every year. The Engineering Magazine.

From the National Stockman we clip the following: Whether cattle are decreasing in numbers as rapid ly in the far west as reports at times show. is a question, but there is one fact at least which indicates that such a decrease must take place, if it has not done so already j; and that is that comparatively few of the raachmen are keeping up their breeding herds. Very many wbo care to operate extensively do so by bringing in southwestern cat tie. The number of COWS in the northwest have decreased at won derful rate in few years. This seems to be matter beyond dis pute. The natural result of this should be seen within few years in such depletion of native cattle supplies from that quarter as should have it's effect upon the market. Then, if it be true, as southwestern papers claim, the cattlemen in that region are adopting the same policy to great extent, the result should be to reduce the cattle ranching business to a much less formidable affair, as competing with farm pro- ducers than it has been for many years. If such a time is coming it is likely to be hastened by the steady encroachment of sheep on the old cattle ranges.

Mile. Renan, the elder sister so tenderly loved by the late great Frenchman, was a most heroic wo- man, in every way worthy of the affection she inspired. When their father died, leaving to his family nothing but the prospect of their household goods and little shop be- ing sold for debt, the creditors took pity on them and left these things untouched. Mile. Renan made a VOW to pay all that was due. Sbe educated herself we'll enough to win the diploma of governess, and opened a little school at Lannion, where her mother and Ernest, who was twelve years her junior, joined her. Here she did we'll until con- vent school started and took her pupils She was obliged to part from her mother and brother and go to Paris as submistress in school. For twenty-five years she continued paying the old debt by installments until every sou was cleared off. When her brother be- gan to be tormented with doubts as to the duty of leaving St. Sulpice's school, where he had already taken minor orders, his sister, his only confdant, wrote to him at once to follow his conscience, and sent him forty pounds to go on with, in case he left without being priested He left, and went to Paris. Mile. Ren- an persuaded him to study hard, and, in order to help him, gave up her position in Germany, and with her savings went to Paris to pro- vide humble home for him. She re-wrote all his themes for Les De- bats, and was an unsparing critic. She gave him means to marry, and was to have lived with him and his wife when her death occurred.

The Russians have made a singu- lar discovery in Central Asia. In Turkestan, on the right bank of the Anon Daira, in chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan town of Karki, are a number of large caves, which, upon examination were found to lead to an underground city. built, apparently, long before the Christian era. According to the efigies, inscriptions and designs upon the gold and silver money un- earthed from among the ruins, the existence of the town dates back 10 some two centuries before the birth of Christ. The edIfces contain all kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases, and so forth. The high degree of civilization attained by the inhabitants of the city is shown by the fact that they built several stories, by the symmetry of the streets and squares, and by the beauty of the baked clay and metal utensils, and of the ornaments and coins which have been found. It is supposed that, long centuries ago, this city. so carefully concealed in the bowels of the earth, provided an entire population with a refuge from the incursions of nomadic savages and robbers.-Ex.

Cost of Living.

When II is proved that wages are 80
much higher in this country than in
Europe, the free traders reply that the
cost Of living is higher in proportion,
and therefore the savings are no greater.
But the evidence on the subject is
perfectly clear: first that the cost OF
living is not materially higher, and
second, that the savings are very much
greater.
Full details as to cost of living in
Europe will be found in the official re-
port from American consuls TO the state
department at Washington. We give
only the conclusions of the report
Food: at appears from the report
hereto annexed that the American work.
man consumes more and better food
than the mechanic or laborcr abroad,
and that the cost of this food is as small
in the United States as in Europe"
Clothing: "In general, clothing can
be purchased cheaper in Europe than
in the United States; especially clothing
of thu higher grades The same iniiu.
ence which prompts the higher paid
| worldngmcn in the United states to
| purchase better and more varied food
/ than his European comrade, extends
also TO his clothing, for he buys more
and better garments" Consul Shaw OF
Manchester, England, says 81 believe
| clothing similar TO that which the En-.
| glish operatives wear can be purchased
in the United States at about the same
price"
House rent in Europe is apparently
lower than here, but the habitations are
usually inferior to those of the United
States
More exact and comprehensive inves
legations were made on the subject by
Carroll u. Wright, chief Of the labor
bureau of Massachusetts, in 1883. Al
that time he found that the average cos
of living Of worlIingmcn in Massachu
sets, including rent, was II per cent
higher than living ON the same scal'
would cost i'm England. Excluding rent
thecost in Massachusetts was found TO b
only per cent. higher than in England
While there is this slight difference il
the cost of living, our laborers with thci
high wages can live far better, and saw
besides almost as much rs the forcigi
workman earns.
