There is such a boom in tho Argentine
Republic that Buenos Ayres has become
the dearest city in the world to live in.
The city is growing very fast, and rents
are up to the skies. Provisions of every

rapidly increased.
China has made more progress toward
civilization in the last five years than fo
twenty years before. The population of
the empire is so vast that it is estimated
that 2t are dying every minute, 34,500
every day,aud 13,441,600 every year. At
this rate the whole population of the
United States would be swept off iu five
years. ..
The interior of a cafe at Montmartre,
France, is modeled like an immense tub,
and the illusion is further carried out by
the circular shape of the doors aud win
dow frames. As the signboard bears the
classic inscription “Diogenes,” there is
some curiosity to know if the proprietor
of the cafe thinks there is no honest
man outside his establishment.
Mexico is making a high hid for im

occupied by immigrants. ' Settlers on
these tracts are to be exempt from tax

guarantees them protection. It is pro -

ACROSS THE SNOW,
Across the snow and over the sand,
Where summer lingers with song and
bloom,
The festooned oaks of Florida stand
Enshrouded in odorous gloom;
Over the mountains, across the snow.
The blue sky smileth audbendeth low.
Across the snow aud over the sea,
Italy laughs, like a child at play;
And her rivers that sing incessantly
Are wooing the soul away I
Over the sea and across the snow
They are calling me, but I cannot go.
Across the sea and over the tears,
The wonder-world of our childhood lies,
And voices echo across the years
With whispered questions and low replies,
Over the graves and across the snow,
The children are calling who loved me so.
Across the snow and beyond the doubt,
There Ueth a land so sweet and fair
That none who enter will turn about
To bring us tidings of loved ones there;
Over the doubt and across tho snow
The dear ones beckon and I shall go.
