De terrifying, because unusual, are re-
garded along the Rio de Ia Plata az
quite the proper thing and are heartily
welcomed and appreciated, though they
speedily find out all the weak spots in
the houses and convert the whole sur.
rounding country into a vast bed of
mud. Owing to the light, alluvial
character of the soil it requires only
one heavy rain to render the outskirts
of the city almost impossible either on
foot, on horse back or by carriage, and
the suburbs practically inaccessible
except by steam-car or tramway. But
it is nevertheless blessing, for the
grass springs up anew, the flowers
brighten. even the mournful eucalyptus
| trees become almost beautiful in their
fresh coats of tender green, and the
sky looks as if newly scrubbed and
FURNISHED.
The branch line of the Central Rail-
way which takes you via Palermo to
San Martin, San Isidor and San Fer
nando, terminates at Tigre, the most
popular holiday resort in Argentina,
and just the place in which to spend a
happy day. 1t is only an hours run
from the city distance about 20 miles,,
low, rambling pueblo at the conflu-
ence of the rivers Parana and Lujan.
Its greatest glory and attraction, how
ever, is not on shore but in the numer-
Gus narrow waterways, like canals,
which are the southern mouths of the
Parana delta, and in the innumerable
small islands that dot the adjacent
river long way up and are covered
with orchards of peach, pear, orange
and citron trees, from which comes the
fruit-supply of Bnenos Ayres. 1t is
pleasant rowing about among these
green islands, whose banks are over
hung with willows and poplars. Pretty
country houses nestle among the trees,
and floats and lighthouses add to the
picture-for every boat club in Buenos
Ayres has its quarters here. Most of
the estates have large, open summer
houses, built on piles at the edge of the
river, where the owners pass the after
moons in hammocks and rocking chairs,
with cool drinks and cigars at hand,
while the younger members of the
family divert themselves upon the
water. Steam launches, yachts, sail
ing boats. canoes and small craft of
every kind skim gayly in and out of the
creeks and canals 1t is here that the
English rowing clubs of Montevideo
and Buenos Ayres hold their annual
regattas, which are as great events in
their way as the Derby-day is i'll Eng
land and to which society looks forward
every spring with t1utter of new
plumage direct from Paris. Here, too,
during the season picnic, riding and
driving parties come every day from
town and crowd the big Tigre hotel
with youth and beauty.

The Switzer Water Company.

One of the interesting places around
Bucksport, says the correspondent of the
Daily News, is that of the Switzer Water
Co. OF Prospect. The works of the company
are situated about half mile below Pros
pect Ferry at the noted Switzer spring, where
all the bottling is done. The plant Is fitted
with the most up-to-date machinery procur-
able. The flow Of the water from the spring
is so great that it is impossible to calculate
it, which, together with its purity, makes it
very valuable, not only to the owners, but
tions of the company is at some time in the
near future to put up hotel on the grounds
in the neighborhood Of the spring. This Is
an ideal place for such building, for in
clear weather this site commands one Of the
finest views Of the bay, being able to see
miles and miles Of water. The surrounding
country is very peaceful and beautiful, few
places being able to enter the lists as its
rival.

Strange Fish That Gave Color to Fable
of Mermaids.

OF Mermaids.
The strangest of all strange fish
must be the manatee and the dugong
The latter is the mermaid Of fablet
lore. The dugong live in flodks alonl
the shores of the Indian ocean, tbs
Red Sea and the Gulf of Manaar
where they browse on seaWeed ant
river vegetation
They are very affectionate in dis
position, and especially is this shown
in the love of the mother for her off
spring, which is much strenger than
her instinct of selfpreservation. The
male will not leave the female IL she
be attacked, and instances are on rec
ord where the companions of the mana
tee gathered round and made an eff
fort to withdraw the deadly harpoon
1t is supposed that the rude ap
proach to the human outline observed
In the shape of the head of the dug
ong, the attitude of the m pther in
clasping her young to her breast with
one fiipper while swimming with the
other, holding both above water and
suddenly diving and showing her fish
like tail when alarmed. gave rise to
the mermaid myth, first told by the
Arab seamen. Jules Verne gives q
thrilling description of the ca pture OF
a dugong in the Red sea when Its
flesh was desired as food. Natural.
lists tell us that the flesh of the mana,
tee or of the dugong much resembles
well fatted pork of pleasant flavor,
and is highly esteemed as fopd. For
this reason they were much hunted
and are fast becoming extinct.-Field

Dreams.

What would we DO without our dreams

With which the fertile fancy teens
BY day as well as in the night?
They make the future golden bright,
Through them sweet hope eternal

His prison cell a palace seems.
Dreams are of paradise the keys

Balm for the sorely wounded heart,
Believers OF the souls distress
They come humanity to bless.
To light its gloom with sunny beams,
The sweetest solace we possess

red near the town of Davos, in Swift,
zerland, came down from a height of
nearly 5000 feet, and entirely closed

was necessary to cut tunnel through
the hard snow. To what extent and
OF what magnitude such avalanches
