BUENOS AYRES, Argentine Republic.
August is, 1903
Buenos Ayres should not grow so fast.
That is my opinion of the leading city of
South America. 1t has been given In re-
Spouse to the question so often asked,
What do you think Of our town.
l have admired the regular streets, lined
with handsome business blocks that are
rot disfiguring skyscrapers: have marveled
at the snowy shop windows on Florida and
the other trade thoroughfares. and have
wondered at the absence of the poverty
which is painfully and obtrusively ap-
parent in other great centers of Latin
American population. There must be poor
people somewhere In Buenos Ayres, but
they cannot be many, or more of them
would be seen. These impressions are
formed by every stranger and they help to
raise his estimation of the Argentine me-
trcpolis.
Nor should the city stop growing because
1t lacks the means of expansion. Its chess
board streets and squares are capable Of
unlimited extension. They have the win nle
Pampa or prairie over which to spread.
Unlike the cities of the north which have
phenomenal growths, Buenos Ayres Is no.
uHsightly and ragged. Its expansion fol-
lows regular lires and it grows after a
system that does much credit to the gov
eminent which foresaw its possibilities and
planned its evolution into one of the great
towns of the world

water; tie one teaspoonful Of whole cloves
from which have been removed the SOFT
heads, two sticks of cinnamon broken IN
pieces; place this bag in the kettle with
the fruit. Heat all slowly and simmer UNI
til tender. Remove the fruit from the strip
and spread on platters to cool. Boil the
strip fifteen minutes, skimming carefully.
Place the pears in glass jars and pour over
the boiling strip. Seal when perfectly cold.
Picked Gem Melons.
Select fine ripe gems, peel, remove all
seeds and seed fiber and wash. Cut into
slices three inches long and two wide, place
in stone Jar and cover with vinegar for
twenty-four hours; few hours longer Will
improve the pickles Take from the vine
gar and place on a clean board and allow
the fruit to drip; take away one quart OF
the vinegar to each remaining quart. Al
low three pounds and half of graduated
cane sugar to twelve small melons, three
ounces of stick cinnamon, one ounce of
whole cloves from which the soft heads
have been removed and two ounces of
whole allspice. Boil the spices, remaining
vinegar and sugar together, having first
added one pint of fresh vinegar to the DID,
boil for few minutes, skimming well; put
in the melon and cook gently for fifteen
minutes; take out the fruit and place in
glass jars and boil the strip for ten min
utes longer, skim thoroughly and pour boil
ing hot over the fruit. Seal when cold.
Molasses Mullins.
Measure two cups of entire wheat flour,
two cups of white flour, half a teaspoonful
of salt and sift all together into a bowl: stir
in two cups of warm water and heat to
smooth batter; when lukewarm mix in two
tablespoons of molasses and nearly half
cup of soft yeast. Beat a few minutes,
then cover and set to raise until 1t nearly
doubles it's first bulk. Beat we'll and then
drop the batter by large spoonfuls into
muffin or gem rings; let them rise until
light, then bake in a quick oven.
Marshmallow Filling for Cake.
Boil two cups of granulated sugar with
one cup of water until it ropes. Just be-
fore removing from the fire stir in half a
pound of fresh marshmallows broken into
small pieces SO they will melt quickly.
When smooth pour this mixture gradually
into the whites of two eggs beaten to a
stin white foam and continue to beat with
long, rapid strokes until it Is cold; then
spread on the cake

A Railroad Year.

"A Isdl1IOdu L eur.
1t is truly railroad year for Argentina
The lines never before carried so much
grain The conditions are like those in
the United States four years ago, when the
heavy crops started the railways into the
extensions and improvements which were
made without impairing the dividends
"ArgentineS' in London have been going
up for months, due primarily to the crops
and secondarily to a fusion or community
of interest movement, reducing operating
expenses and widening the margin OF
profits. With the exception of the govern
ment lines and one system owned by
French company the Argentine railways
are now English property. The Germans
have the electrical properties in Buenos
Ayres, but they are not concerned in the
railways. The london directors and stock
holders in high good humor over the
profitable returns, and that makes it pos
sble for the local boards and managers to
go ahead with extensions and improve
ments. They could not do this If the lines
were not earning money, and the lines
could not be earning money If the country
were not producing heavy crops and get
ting the benefit of the high prices abroad
The representatives of these London COM
panies in all their plans are looking to the
future. Cant you spare us about five
millions of your good farming population -
the leading railway man of Argentina asked
me. Let us have them and We'll show
another United States down here. We
want good immigrants and lots of them"
This matter of immigration is the burning
theme or palpitating question. 1t is given
force by temporary return movement to
Europe which shows more emigrants than
immigrants l do not imagine the move
ment is permanent one, because the same
condition has obtained in the past at va
rious periods, and yet the population has
increased in much greater ratio than can
be accounted for by the birth rate But
the emigration is serious enough to CON
slider. The money taken with them by the
emigrants added to that which is annually
RENTED to Europe must lessen by large
sum the balance of trade in favor of Ar
gentina which the importation and ex-
portation statistics show.
To passing observer it does not appear
that the central government can do much
more than it has done in inviting and put
ting into effect legislation for the encour-
agement of immigration. Special measures
may be passed by the Congress in the ma
ture of bounties, but the bounty emigrants
are not the best class. They take little
root in the soil The naturalization and
citizenship laws of the Argentine Republic
are very liberal. The immigrant who comes
with the purpose of staying is given every
encouragement to incorporate himself into
the body polite of the country. His fail
ure to do so is not entirely caused by any
edy.
Vexatious overtaxation.
From what I have heard from all sources
the defect appears to be In the provincial
and municipal administrations and in vex-
atious overtaxation by these provinces and
municipalities. The national authorities ex-
