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.

v Scopolamin.
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

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,

Treatment
"1 suffered so much before I started
taking Stella Vitae that I feared my
days were numbered," said Mrs. Hat->.
tie Munday, of Kitchings Mills, S. 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."
Stella vitae may be obtained from
any druggist and the purchase price
will be refunded if it fails to bring
relief.
