From theee i appears that there were then 5,64 Public Schools, an iuorease of 8 ; 32 Boman Catholic Separate Schools, an increase of 10, and ten Protestant Separ ate Schools, besides 90 kindergartens with 184 teachers, and 25 night schools with 54 leachers, The amount expended in 189-1 for Public School houses, sites and buildings, was $373,482; for Public Schools teaohere' salaries $2,725,286, and for other purposes, $812,050, making a total expenditure of $3,910,824, an in- crease of $130,093. The estimated value of Public School property is $310,599,• 439. There were 603,840 persona between the ages of 5 and 21 fn the Province, and the number of registered Public School pupa of all ages was 443441, an in- crease of 440 while the average attend. an0e was 245,000. an inter ase of 7,413, Io the Roman Nihon° Separate Schools there were 39,762 pupils enrolled, an in. crease of 1,0955, and the average attend- ance was 28,328, ao iecrea<e of 1,465. The percentage of average attendance to total at.endanne was 56, an increase of 2 per cent. The teachers in the Public Schee s numbered 8,110, of whom 2,0112 were men, and 5,448 women. The aver- age salary paid to male teachers was 3421, a decrease of $2, and the average salary of female teachers was $300.

A Huronite in Argentina. B13e1108 Aires 1s a good business place. So is any modernized town in Argentina. A 130883ess man in almost any line, who has some little capital to start on, back. ed up by energy and industry, will nob only do well here but will stand a good chance of getting rich. There are not many millionaires in Argentina drat I ever heard of, but I think it would be herd to fin.] the world over a more generally proeperous set of people than the English speaking residents of this republic. But it is nob n good country for clerks or other young men wbo have had a bug. nees training in one branch or other and have no capital. At least that is what old residents of the country tell me and my own observation corroborates their evidence. wages in general are low, but, as in every new country, wages toepecial• rets are high. In other words, the aver- age young man, if he is without capital, can do very much better in Oaneda or the United States. Engineers, skilled mechanics, really oompehent accountants and such like, however, when they can get work are generally pafdt high wages. Indeed they can generally make a three or four yearn' contract almost at their own price, because when they are needed at all they are needed badly. The stores of Buenos Aires, as well as all the other business places, do nob make as good a display as those of a oily of similar size in the States, on account of the poorer class of buildings. The stores are too small in most cases so that the stook cannot be dieplayed t0 advantage though some immensely valuable stooks are carried. There are some exceptions of oourse, but I am speaking of the oily in general. Gcooery stores and drug stores seem to be especially proeperous The special purpose of riolies is to be generouel,y diepereed. Pity and forbearance should character- ize all sots of juetioe. Men are apt to prier a prosperous error before an affiioted truth. That which we acquire with most cliff, onity, weretain the longest. Ta understand one thing well is better than many things by halves. The saddest failings in life eoree from the not putting forth the power to sue. cited, 0 Act well al the moment, and you have performed a good action to all eternity. Life is passed in,,dosiriug wbat one has not, and regretting what one has no longer. Be not afraid of enthusiasm ; you need it ; you can do nothing effectually with- out it. Aotiviby is liable to commit some in. juries ; bat indoleuoe is sure to do no good. Enthueinsm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories with- out it. All other knowledge is hurtful to vim who has nob the science of honesty and goodness. Those who come bo you to balk about othere are the ones wile go to others to talk about you. Ib is a 1915e lean who knows bis `own business ; and it is a wiser man who thoroughly attends to it. The manner of saying or doing any thing goes a great way towards the value of the thing itself. The measure of one's real oharaoter is what he would do if he knew it would never be found out. It is a good thing to be rioh, and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to he beloved of many friends, To be happy a persou must be cheerful and giy, not gloomy and melancholy.

To be a really good dentist here le to leaver: small gold mine fu y0ar possession. The same may be said of other towns and cities not only in Argentina but in all parts of South America. English doctors also do well, though their field ie better filled than that of the dentists. The newspaper business is also a good one hare, but the field is rapidly filling. However, journey- man printers are in demand, I am told, though wages are not very. high. I did not look into this matter et all but simp- ly heard it stated by a newspaper man. Thera are several line job printing and lithographing establishments, but I fancy the field in this lino is as full at present as the trade will stand, and it is nob vary remunerative I am told, because of a variety of reasons. I am only speaking from hearsay, however, or rather s000nd hand conjecture, for the business is most- ly in the hands of foreigners—Germane, Frenrh and Italians. A field that is rapidly opening up is that of experts in and handlers of agri- nulttfral products and' export animals. The lumber business should also pay im• men8ely if tome smart person could solve the problem of transport. There is splendid wood of many kinds in Argen• tlna and more in Paraguay, yet building lumber even, is to a large extent import- ed. I Have en acquaintance who deals largely in fence poste and out of these alone he makes a splendid thing. There are only a few things chat have happened to come under my own °beerv- atiou in one way or another, or about which I have inquired, but Argentina it one day per teacher. Progress in sent- tation and hygiene is reported, only 490 schoolhouses being reported as furnishing inadequate breathing space for the pupils in attendance. Better facilities for ventilation and heating are needed in many cases. The statistics show that the number of pupils in that fourth and fifth forms is steadily increasing, and there is a gratifying inereaa0 in tl,e tine]. ber studying history and geography and composition, while there were in 1894 nearly five times es many studying temperance and hygiene as in 1892. In the High Scheele a steady increase in the proportion of pupils taking commercial subjects and decrease in those taking classics is reported. Tile GAVE CONIUS0I03. The report of the fish and Game Com- missioners for 1805 contains the follow. ing :— Although the enforcement of the game laws bas had an undoubted effect in pre.-erving the game during the last three or four years, the Act might be made ninth more protective by restricting the number of birds to be taken or killed by any person in a day 0year, for instance in the case of duck, if it were enacted tbat not more than 20 should be taken in a day or 300 in a season it would have a good effect. Tile same plan might be adopted with reference to the other game birds, quail, snipe, woodcock and par- tridge.
