THE HARBoRs OF ARGENTINA.
Being Steadily Improved to Nest the
Needs of the Republic

The increase in the productive pow
er of the Argentine Republic has
caused the steady development of the
various outlets to the countries be-
yond the sea, according to report
made to the state department by Con-
sui Mayer at Buenos Ayres. He says
the city of Buenos Ayres, the capital
of the republic, has been for many
wears the point to which gravitated all
that was of value from the interior
provinces: but with the growth ofpro-
duction it has been found best to for
ward the goods to the nearest port.
The city of Rosario receives yearly
an immense amount of grain from the
interior, and an enlargement OF the
present port is needed Mr.. Mayer
saws Buenos Ayres has an excellent
system of docks, but serious draw
back is the want of water in the chan
mel which connects them with the
ocean. The largest steamers which
visit the RIVER La Plata are debarred
from making use ofthe port of Buenos
Avres. except in certain conditions OF
tbe river. as the channel must be con-
stantly dragged The consul says
that the next port southwark is Bahia
Blanca, which, as it is the terminus
Of the Great Southern railway, bids
fair to develop in the future.

Use the English Language.

English is the language of the Jap
.anse Office-in its intercourse with
foreign diplomats, and even in its tel
egraphic correspondence with its own
representatives abroad. All tele-
grams from Toxic to the foreign
agents of Japan are written and ci-
phered in English, and replied to in
the same manner, though, if the for
ign minister has occasion to send a
written dispatch, this, as rule, is in
Japanese, which may be said to be a
cipher inftself.

The ONLY DOG DRUMMER.
ssmetimes Makes Circuit with His Mas
Ter and Sometimes Alone.

:, Inere is only one dog drummer in
.ne United States. He is fine collie
,nat belongs to Harry Horton, of At
ianta, Ga. His owner is travelling
man and makes frequent trips up and
Gown the Atlanta and West Point
road, stopping at all the little sta
tons along the way.
Several times he took his dog with
Aim. As the collie, Gyp by name, is
an unusually handsome fellow, intel
igent and friendly, he excited much
summation and received more petting
than had ever before fallen to his lot.
Ii was after he had three times ac-
eoRpanled his owner that Gyp one
morning came down to the station
and jumped in the baggage car. The
Dsggagemaster recognized him and.
supposing that Mr.. Horton was
aboard, made him welcome. The train
pulled out, and at the first station the
dog got out and went to the hotel at
which his master was accustomed to
stop. The landlord remembered him,
and ne was fed and petted. He re-
manned until the next day, then took
a train and went to the next station,
where he again put up at the custom
airy hotel.
In this way he made the usual trip,
much to the amusement of baggage
masters and hotel men. The news of
his peculiar journey preceded him,
and at every town he received an ova-
ton.
Meanwhile there was CONSERVATION
in the Horton family when it was
found that Gypwas missing. Afruit-
less search was made for him and a
large reward offered. But hehad been
gone several days before anything
was heard of him.
Then a telegram came from West
Point, Ga, telling of Gyp's arrival
there and of the strange trip he was
making. Mr.. Horton decided to let
him alone and see what would be his
plan. In due season Gyp arrived
home, having made every town that
he had visited with his owner.
The experience was SO pleasant that
he has often made the journey since,
and is now as well known along the
road as Mr.. Horton. Whenever he dis
appears no uneasiness is felt, Mr.. Hor-
ton merely remarking: 81 guess he's
dsing my territory again"

sacrifice. But until woman herself had reached 2 higher plane she could not make a ioftisr one for him. Her evolu- tion has been slow and iong and sor- rowful; 1t is by no means complete but it has been greater in the last fifty years than in centuries which pre- ceded.
 Leaving the centuries oit of consid- eration, let us go back only fifty years and examine the relative conditions of husbands and wives. At marriage the legal existence of the women was plotted out forever. while the man added to his own all which she had lost. The two were one and he was the one, with the dual rights and priyi- leges merged in himself. With the last words of the marriage ceremony all the property which she possessed, with i,s rents and profits, and all that might come to her by gift and inheritance. passed into his absolute control. She had spoken the vows which made It impossible for her ever to own do.- lars worth of anything while the hus- band lived. She had entered into partnership in which she was to give the services of lifetime in exchange f3or her board and clothes: while fer 3artner at his death could will to an outsider the full proceeds of the earn ings of the two. except the use of one third the real estate for life. and small portion of the personal property. She could not hope by work outside to lay up something for old age as her earnings also belonged to her husband.
 < x
 The woman of today has a moral ideal. She dreams of time when there shall be but one standard of vir- tue for the two sexes. Its fulfillment Is no more impossible than what we al- ready have seen. The attitude of so- ciety toward the immoral mac is gradually changing. Like the drunkard, he is beginning to cover his tracks. His lapses are no longer matter or pride The new se.f-respect of woman is protesting against mans defiance of the moral code and he is commencing to feel the effects of a social ostraciSm, which will increase as women grow stronger in self-reliance.
 V *
 Woman is now. for the first time in all history, so situated that she can create an ideal husband and not be compelled to accept a substitute. and she has set the standard far beyond any that the woman of the past could have dreamed of. Her very first exac- tioi that he should recognize her equal ity of rights, legal and domestic. would have thrown the forefathers into a fit of apoplexy and paralyZed the fore mothers, but the best type of manhood in the present generation is not at all disturbed by this demand. He is not like his ancestors who placed their honor in the sacred keeping of the wife. but were very careful that she did not get a chance at the pocketbook.
