Tbere are many capitals In Argentina; but tbere Is only one La Plata. Its population bas increased phenomenally, like - tbat of Buenos Aires; for it is now not far from 100, 000, In spite of financial reverses wblcb In tbe past befell It. Its sumpt uous buildings, wide streets, splendid avenues and beautiful promenades, render tbls fairy city on the Rio de la Plata one of tbe finest products ot modern renaissance architecture. The university Is younger than tbe hclty, for La Plata bad existed 23 years, wben the former, was established on August 12, 1905, Dr. Manuel Qulntana being then president of Argentina. It is Incredible that within five years such a magnificent Institution, with such a wonderful group of buildings should have arisen. One ot the finest ornaments and most useful auxiliaries of tbe univer sity Is the museum. What It took tbe older nations of the world scores of years to accomplish bas arisen In La Plata as If by magic. Tbe museum be longs to tbe faculty of Natural Sci ences, to which are Joined tbe schools of chemistry, pharmacy, , geography, and the Academy of Drawing. The old museum of Buenos Aires bad been founded In 1823 by President Rlvadavla, reaching a point of great Importance under the direction ot Dr. Gorman Burmelster. As It was found impossible to transport to La Plata the paleontologlcal collection of tbls mu seum, tbe province ceded it to the nation, to serve as the basis of a fed eral museum On tbe other band, tbe archaeological and anthropological col lections were brought over to tbe new capital, as the beginning of tbe muse um of the province. In 1884 Doctor Moreno was chosen by tbe governor of tbe province, Dr. Carlos d'Amlco, to establish a provin cial museum and to be its director, in consequence of this, he at ' once do nated his private library of 2,000 vol umes, mainly of American authors and on natural sciences, to the new Insti tution. It will thus be seen that the SUPERSTITIONS OF THE HOME 8ome of Them Are Traced to Domet- tlo Economy and Others to Thrifty Habit. The signs and wonders of the house hold have markedly diminished In the last quarter century. Many of them were picturesque and diverting. Few ot them were taken seriously enough to be harmful. It is easy to trace some of them to their sources In domestic economy. A group of them, for example, bad to do with tbe approach of an unexpect ed guest. The scissors or a knife stick ing up straight In the floor, a dropped dish cloth, or a long, floating oteni In a cup of tea all these foretold arriv als. They had the agreeable double effect of keeping the household up to a high mark of preparedness and of breaking monotony by the pleasure of anticipated society. If tbe prophesied caller followed the dropping of scis sors tbe sign received an increased au thority. When the promise failed, the ffilhim waa nrnmntlv fnrsntten I Another group ui tiuiici millions rests MM -I ' V L if i I museum antedates tbe university. Tbe building waa at once begun, and with in five years It was possible to Install the first collections. The museum building, occuying tbe center of a park, is approached through a stately avenue lined on both sides with shady trees, forming a most agreeable promenade. The edifice, in classic style, terminates at both ex tremities In-a semi-circle, the whole having an elliptic figure. The central facade Consists of a Corinthian porti co, wli.i six immense columns resting on a platform, to which a flight of steps leads. The decorations, without departing from the Greek lines, pos sess special features borrowed from archaic American architecture. Tbe great votaries of science. Aris totle, Lucretius, Descartes, Button, Llnaeus, Cuvler, Humboldt and many more are represented by their busts, while such American savants and ex plorers as Azara, d'Orblgny, Bompland and others are not forgotten. There are two floors In the building, the first one being entirely devoted to tbe museum, while on tbe second. In the center of the edifice, are the ad ministration offices, with the library on one side and the section ot tine arts on the other, besides other de partments. I bad the pleasure of vis iting the museum some months ago, and tbe Americanists spent a pleas ant day at La Plata, as tbe guests of tie university. The great Intrinsic value of the mu seum qt La Plata Is essentially South American, by the material It has col lected tor the study of the fauna and flora, fossil, as well as actual, ot tbe austral regions of the western hemls pbee, but especially for tbe oppor tunities it offers to make a thorough E'udy of tbe American man, from' the earliest prehistoric period. This re construction ot man's history is artis tically exhibited In the large paint ings in the lower portion of the ro tunda, in wblcb one sees archaic lands, scenes from Terre del Fuego and Pata gonia, as well as of other portions of tna republic and restorations of abo riginal and savage life. As regards man, you have every op portunity to study him well and thor oughly, from bis skeleton to his modes and habits of life. A section ot tbe science of man is devoted to anatomi cal anthropology. Tbe museum began with a collection of 1,000 skulls and 80 skeletons, of wblcb nine-tenths be longed to South America. Tbey repre sent man from ' tbe glacial period down to tbe most recent Indian. It Is quite probable that man, at various epochs, found himself driven by force of circumstances to the extreme south. upon the 'thrifty habits ot former times. To pick up a pin brought good luck. To neglect to snuff a candle un til It waa wasted by a "weeper" was sure to Involve misfortune. An over abundance of tea grounds tn the cup spoke of careless measures, and so threatened debt A. second helping of food before the first was eaten tore told an undesirable beggar. Tbe woman's mind. If left to Itself, turns naturally to believe the make believe. A housewife likes to .pit her unreason against her reason. The mere act of absurd Uloglc gives vari ety arid charm to an otherwise dull afternoon of housework, and nobody Is tbe worse tor stretching the arm of imagination to include a little mild superstition of the old fashioned sort. 8trlve Always for Higher Things. Sad will be the day for any man wben be becomes contented with tbe thoughts be is thinking and the deeds he Is doing when there is not forever beating at tbe doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger which be knows tha he was meant and made to do. Phillips Brooks. and tt thus happwos that one finds la Argentina the remains of the gigantic Patagonlan, such as excited tha adml- ration of Magelhaens. aa well as types said to be similar to that of Neander thal. For Patagonlan anthropology th museum or La Plata cannot be sur passed. Another branch of anthroDoloerv ot which the museum makes a fmeciaitv Is that of the history of civilization. iou win find here Implements of the stone age, from. Uruguay, from the provinces of Cordoba and Buenos Aires, and from Patagonia, that are quite unique, besides a section devoted to the prehistoric man of Europe lor comparative study. These remains of human Industry appear to carry one back to a very remote antiquity. For Instance, at ex cavations made for the port of La P.ta bones of extinct animals were found that appeared to have been carved by man. at an epoch when the region must have been entirely differ ent from what it now Is, and at Rloja fragments of pottery were discovered at a depth of more than sixty meters. When It comes to determining the an tiquity of man, tbe scientific value of such discoveries may be left to ex perts who, as a rule, are by no means harmonious In their conclusions, but further and more positive data must be awaited. Neither bas the moment arrived wben certain conclusions as to the prehistoric relations between tbe east ern and western hemispheres can be reached by a comparative study either of skulls or monuments. Yet muse ums like tbat at La Plata are accumu lating material that may pave tbe way for such conclusions by Us col lection of American antiquities with resemblance to tbpse ot peoples across the seas. The museum is also rich in material for the study of the prehistoric civil ization of the Andes, which stretched down along the eastern slopes of the great chain into wbat Is now the prov ince of Mendoza and Jujuy, in tbe Ar gentine republic. For tbe study of tbe pre-Inca civili zation of Peru, a very large collection of pottery from tbe dead city of Gran Cbimu, near TruJUlo. may serve to cast some uncertain rays upon tbe dark period that preceded the arrival ot tbe Incas, tbe period to which such ruins as those of Chlmu, Pachacamac and Cajamarquilla belong. Bringing the study of civilization down to the colonial epoch, we find at La Plata a very Interesting collec tion, gathered from those Argentine provinces, and from Paraguay, whlcn were tbe scenes of tbe famous Jesuit missions that lasted to the end of tbe eighteenth century. The museum of La Plata is constant ly Increasing in Importance, promising In course of time to become one of the most Important In the new world. Buenos Aires Is now In direct com munication with tbe principal ports ot Europe and with New York, and as facilities of communication are aug mented, as they are bound to be, the museum of La Plata, with its scien tific treasures of South America, will become more accessible to scholars from all parts of the globe, to their great advantage and to the glory of Argentina. Woman's Relative Value. Once at tbe table of Sir James Knowles, editor of tbe Nineteenth century, tbe talK ran on the relative physical and mental value ot women. Turning to Sir Ray Lanfcester, the aged prime minister (Mr. Gladstone) said: "I am of the opinion tbat tbe relative value ot a man and a woman Is In all classes ot society about tbe same as It was In my grandfathers time In Jamaica. When they wanted to buy a negro they gave one hundred and twenty pounds for a man and eighty pounds for a woman, and," be added, "that is a fair measure of their relative values the world over.'

Today halt ber In habitants rise at an unusual hour to permit their beds to be turned Into parlor furniture or piano fortes. It Cousin Mary or Cousin John realized all this as, of course, no one who has not lived in a great city can really realize It, they would understand bet ter ust why they had not been tn vlted to visit Tom's folks. It Is not because Tom and bis wife wish to slight Mary and ber husband tbat they have not invited tbem to visit them in the city, but because post tlvely the city cousins have not enough more room in their tiny apartment for even so much as a canary bird.

The late Sylvanus Miller, civil en gineer, who was engaged in railroad enterprises in Central America, was seeking local support for a road, and attempted to give the matter point. He asked a native: "How long does it take you to carry your goods to market by mule pack?" "Three days," was the reply. "There's the point," sajd Miller. "With our road in operation you could take your goods to market and be back home in one day." "Very good, senor," answered the native. "But wbat would we do with the other two' days?"
