The island of Santo Domingo is,
next to Cuba. the largest of the An
TILES. it's area being approximately
equal to that of the state of Pennsyl-
vania. The island is tropical Switz-
erland, cut by half dozen interesting
mountain ranges, whose peaks reach
10000 feet. 1t, is the loveliest land in
the world. Those whose idea of the
possibility of natural beauty is found
ed on knowledge of the Bay of Naples
THE fiords of Norway or the soft Ttal-
ian lakes, would revise all their mo-
lions after view of the Gulf of Co
nave from the Sierra de la Lelle. or of
the Vega Real tthe Royal Plain of Co

else has nature contrived such. jubi-

such magic color. The island is a
paradise. Columbus esteemed 1t above

at his door.

Franklin laughed.

Baftersleigh approached his face to

3 difference in Men of Wealth.

John Morgan Richards, perhaps the
best-known American resident of Lon
don, writes: Americans are not
richer than, nor nearly SO rich as a
wealthy man in England, nor are they
SO numerous. If there is any differ
ence between the two classes the
more prudent man is the Englishman,
because, as a rule, he limits his ex-
penditure to his means; while an
American does not hesitate to spend
his capital in order to carry out his
own wishes as to mode of living or to
accomplish what he and his family
may desire to carry out. An English.
man, as rule, with those with whom
he is intimate, will plainly make
known his circumstances In perfect.
ly natural and honest way. Oh he
will say; 81 have only got $500 49,.
5000 year But wild horses would
not drag out of an American any ad.
mission of that character. He would
never be identified with a fixed In.
come until he was connected with a
post the emolument of which was
known"
