Italians in south Americas.


South America is the promised land
Of the Italian. A writer in the Nuova:
Antologia gives striking information
concerning the success of his country
men in that region. Italians are -
garded generally as the Chinese of
Europe, driven by misery at home 10
go wherever they can earn q living
AS rule they accept the lowest living
wages, and thus lower the earninss of
their fellow workers. This is the case
in France and the United States, but il
is not so in Argentina and Brazil, Whero
the Italian receives higher wages, and
has in q measure obtained control of
the country's industries. Unlike the
Italians who come to the United States,
their countrymen in South America do
not care to return to their native land
after saving small sum Of money.
Instead, they invest their capital In
agriculture, factories or mercantile
businesses. Az result there are now
!, 100000 Italians established ON the
banks of the Plata, in the pampas and
forests of Brazil and the cities Of Buen01
(Ayres and San Paolo. They are thrifty
and are gaining control of Argentine
industry much as the English have Of
that Of the Transvaal. Chicago Trib.

ircessantly upon the picture for eight
months. He ate but little and slept
less; he took no exercise, received no
visitors and only left his mansion in the:
Rue Villiers once during the whole
eight months. And that was in order
to find model for his Christ.

Steadily Munkacsy painted his .Ecce

Change Your PhyaicIan.-

The following auecdote is related of
DR.. Rujean, the most celebrated man
of the medical profession in his time:
y certain great lady came to him IN
much distress about her daughter, and
the physician began the investigation
of the case by asking:
Why. what ailS her.
Alas, doctor" replied the mother,
Il cannot tell: but she has lost her hui
NOR. her looks, her health. Her
strength consumes every day, and we
fear she cannot live"
why don't you try to induce her to
marry some worthy young MANI
alas! doctor, that we would fain
do. and have offered her as SOod 4
match as ever she could expect"
rs there no one else that you think
she would marry
All, doctor. that's what troubles us;
for there * young gentleman whom
she loves, but her father and / can
never consent TO have her marry him"
''Why, look You. madam" replied
the doctor gravely. being among his
books in his library. then the case is
this: Your daughter would marry one
man and you would have her marry
another. In all my books / find no
remedy for such a disease as this.
Change your physician and consult the
young man she loves. If he is an hon.
est fellow his advice will be better than
mine"

tauraRt Bill of Fare.

tauraRt Bill OF Fare.
The force of childhood recOllections
and the truth of the quotation. "a
touch OF nature makes the whole world
akin" were shown graphically by 4
little incident in a restaurant the 9th
er day. A quiet looking. middle. aged
} man of prosperous appearance was
eating his dinner when another well
dressed man took seat opposite him.
After giving his order in n blum, genial
manner the newcomer took a sip Of
water and faced around. Suddenly a
queer expression came over his face
as he watched attentively the actions
of his vis-a-yis, and apparently with
out realizing what he was doing he
blurted out in a loud tone, We'll, we'll,
well.'
Every one At the table, including the
quiet looking man, started, and the
others, observing the direction Of the
speakers gaze, turned their eyes also
upon him of the quiet appearance TO
see what had caused the exclamation.
The man who had come in first was
in the act Of spreading sugar over
slice of buttered bread, and when he
realized that all eyes We're turned upon
heinous crime and almost fell off his
chair. II took him a minute or two to
recover. and then he said TO the table
In general:

sugar for being good when 1 was a
child, and eating ii is n habit which I
like 10 indulge in even yet. L know 1t
Isn't upon the restaurant bin of fare,

Il must beg your pardon for my rude
exclamation" replied the other man.
