Railroads..

In the Argentine Republic the service
of trains is appallingly irregular, chief
" owing TO the bad state or the perma-
nent way, which, when once laid, is
left to take care Of itself. The perma-
nent way i'll some parts of the line is in
such a dilapidated condition that al
most every train is thrown OFF tho rails.
This astounding fact is contained in q
recent report of the railway concerned.
The rate of travelling, too. is astonish-
ing. AT u spot, on a go as you please
local line, no train ever travels faster
than 21a miles per hour. One may vary
the monotony Of the journey by getting
out and taking a quiet stroll along the
line, or stopping to pick up pretty flow
ers. There is no fear that tho train will
catch you up.-Harper's Round Table.
