Probably no other city In the world dominates t lit* eontury of which It Is tbe capital ms Buenos Aires d'oiuinates Argentina. Into It Is pfftircd u 1 1 the wealth from tin* estuncian, the great raucht* of a great country. There are few other large town* and cities. Un- ! fortunate ax thin nniy he from Home aspects/ It certainly has made a won derful capital which cull he surpassed by few in the world for wealth and magnificence. llow a million ami a half people can live In 4 city which covers audi a com paratively sinnll apace as Buenos Aires was u wonder to me at first, for; the city gives no such Impression ef vast n??m) as i.ondon or New York or Chi' cago, or even Philadelphia. The prob lem was solved when I saw something of the conventllias In which several hundred people live and move and htvve their being. In these the poor people exist. In many cases they are very next-door neighbors to u million aire's magnificent palnoe. On the outside there Ih nothing re markable uhout these fonventlllas, hut as you open the outer dyor you find that you are in a courtyard, and around the courtyard are a multitude of smaller doors. If there are two stories, then a balcony runs around the second story, and ns many more | doors open upon that. Fa eh of these doors leads to a single room, and in tliis room I was told lives a whole fam ily ? futher an<4k mother anil children, perhaps son-in-law and grandchildren. Five or six, It Is snld, sleep In v the same bed, and the "rooking In done over a charcoal bra/.ler In the court yard. The mild climate, too, allows one to be In. the open air much <>f the time. Of course, the well-to-do. or even thovse in fairly moderate circumstances, do not llva In a conventllla. The out side of their homes usually presents no remarkable architectural glories, but .when you open the outside door you find yourself not in the him way or In a sitting-room, as often with us, but In a beautiful patio, or miniature gar den, into which all the rooms open. For this climate there Is nothing so delightful as such a home as this; a little garden bordered with bright flowers and a lit t If* fountain often playing In the middle. Such is the universal architecture of the homes of the rich and the well-to-do. ? Itev. Fram-i* K rbirk. D P, In the rhris? tlan 1 1 ? *t*. i !?

Officials of the San Quentin prison | in California announced the other day that ihoy had discovered a new chemi ! cat, ho alkaloid, which they said would make it impossible for any one taking a done of it to tell a lie. They said they had tried it out on convicts in the prison vv^h remarkable results, They call the stuff scopolamin. Hut now come officials of the Hel levue prison in New York who say scopolamin is not a new drug at all, but has been known to scientists for at least three thousand years. They say the use of the drug is dangerous, and that its results are uncertain. They say the giving of the drug should be made unlawful. VV^at a pity it is that the last an | nouncement should have been made! If the statement from San Quentin had been allowed to stand we should have started a movement to secure an amendment to the rules of the Democratic party in this and other States so that all candidates entering the primary next summer should be required to dose- themselves with scopolamin. If this rule could have been put into effect we might have had fewer candidates, but this might not have been a misfortune. ?Carolina Citizen. A few days ago an airplane carying eleven persons, made the distance from Berlin to London, 750 miles in less than seven hours. A formerkeeper and three convicts in the Moyamensing prison at Philb* delphia are held under bond of $5,000 each on the charge of selling narcotjcs inside the prison walls. The evidence against the men was secured by the confession of an inmate of the prison who had bought narcotics from the accused men. Five men were killed, all negroes, and eighteen injured in the wreck of a fast freight train at Rockford, 111., Friday.

C. ' "For a long time my health had been on the decline. The main trou ble was with my back, which hurt me so I couldn't stoop over and straighten up without its nearly killing me. "Then my side would hurt like somebody had stuck a knife in me. I lost hope and was ready to give up when I heard so much in praise of Stella Vitae that I began taking it. When 1 had taken two bottles my side and back stopped hurting and I ani now feeling as fine as silk."
