The railway system of Argentine is
second to none in the world. Trains
run at frequent intervals, and punct.
ually, especially the long-distance
trains. The rolling stock is excellent,
and a long-distance journey by rail is
luxury. The sleeping cars are sump-
tuously appointed, the permanent ways
are well laid, and there is consequently
very little jolting. 1t is possible to
breakfast or dine in the trains as COM
fortably as in a hotel The dining cars
are well fitted up and beautifully dec
grated with flowers and pot plants.
The food is properly cooked and taste
fully served at any hour Of the day or
night, and, above all, the charges are
extraordinarily low. A dinner Of six
courses, with coffee and dessert, on
the cars of the Great Southern railway,
costs only two paper dollars, or four
shillings, on an average, and the food
could not be better in any way Fares,
too, are very low, so that travelling is
an easy and cheap matter.-London

A strenuous King.

Richard of England put on his yell
low leggins and rough rider hat. Trac.
ing the mountain lion TO its lair, he
plunged down the ferocious beasts
throat and tore out its heart. At the
crucial moment, however, his trusty
photographer lost nerve and fled,
thus spelling the chance for a bully
picture.

life" exclaimed the angry king, "if
you have nothing to show for it?"

he did no more mountain lion, the
