tine Confederation and Chill, the latter
comedies to the former all the territory
east of the crest of the eastern ridge of
the Andes. including a small part of
Terra del FuegO, and the greater part
Of Patagonia. The form Of government
is republican. The President is elected
for six years by an Electoral College,
composed of 1S3 Representatives chosen
by the several States. The National
Congress is composed of a Senate of
tWenty-eight members, two from each
State or province, and house of fifty
members, apportioned according TO
population. There are five ministers,
viz, The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
the Interior, Finance, War and Educa-
ton. Each Of the provinces has aGov-
crnOr and Legislature elected by n pepu-
lar vote. \ large part of this vast
country consists Of rich, alluvial plains,
called pampas, similar to the prairies
of this country, with a soil four or five
feet thick, formed for the most part,
Ike our prairie soil by the decay of
luxurious vegetation. Immense herds
of cattle and sheep are raised on these
grand prairieS, furnishing the principal
exports. hides, tallow, wool and canned
meats In 1881 the horned cattle were
estimated at $4,000, 900 head. and the
sheep at 100000. The exports of
the country amounted to Sj6, 497. 423.

about 100000, and European, chiefly
English, ports. Twelve Lines of steam
ers run TO Europe. making the trip in
an average period of twenty-nine days.
The revenue for 1881 was S24, 349, 400,
derived almost wholly from import and
export dues. The expenditures amount
ed TO $50, IA, $50, and the National debt
has grown to Sl07, 6S1, 639, d considera-

recent public improvements: railways,
bridges, roads, etc. There are now

Earth as Winter Protection.

A covering of earth may often be
usefully employed to protect plants
from severe changes of temperature
during the winter. Newly planted
fruit trees should have conical mound
of earth at the base, which may be a
foot or foot and half high. and so
narrow that it will shed water readily.
This answers several purposes. 1t is
well known that the portion of the tree
where the roots join the stem is es-
peciallY sensitive, and covering of
earth protects this. Besides, it an
swers better than q stake to prevent
disturbance of the tree by heavy winds.
.Aassifsr benefit is the protection it af-
fstis against mice, often so injurious
to Young trees. Half hardy and doubt
fully hardy plants of all kinds
are better protected by a slight
covering of earth than by
the old method of ''strawing," or sur
rounding them with thick covering of
straw, which often smotherS them.
Grapevines in severe localities, and
partially tender kinds everywhere,
should be trained with a view to
removing them from the trellis.
and laying them fiat upon the ground.
When they are pegged down as fiat
as may be the canes are covered
with an inch or two of soil. This
method is the best for figs, and allows
this fruit to be raised much farther
north than was formerly thought posi-
BILE The trees are prepared by grow.
ing them wa roots upon one side only,
to allow them to be laid fat, and the
branches are well covered with earth.
The tender kinds of raspberries are
protected in this manner on the large
plantations along the Hudson River, n.
Y, where many acres are annually
covered. The same answers for tender
roses which are successfully protected
by laying them down, covering with a
low mound, upon the top of which sods
are neatly laid in such a manner as to
shed the rain. Herbaceous plants in
the flower garden, of doubtful hardi-
ness. should have a slight mound OF
earth over them, first cutting back the
stems No doubt this method of pro-
ssction may be applied to many tender
and half-hardy shrubs and other plants
which are now taken up and placed in
The greenhouse or the cellar for the

A Hawaiian Love Tale.

The hero, Hiku, following a magic
arrow which he shoots from time to
time. is guided to a distant realm and
to the fair Princess Kawelu. who falls
in love with him. But Hiku had prom
ised his mother to return and he leaves
suddenly, after which Kawelu pines and
dies. Hearing of this, Hiku determines
10 descend into Lua o Milu, realm of the
dead, to bring her back. Making a
swing of convolvulus vine, CARRYING a
cocoanut shell in two close-fitting parts,
covering himself with rancid cocoa oil
so as to smell like corpse, Hiku is
lowered into the abyss. Owing to the
rancid oil he is not there suspected of
being alive. Kawelu's soul recognizes
him and accepts his invitation to swing;
and while they are on the convolvulus
swinging they are gently drawn upward
by Hiku's friends above. At one time
Kawelu's soul was about to fit away
like butterfly, but Hiku secured her
in the cocoanut shell. When they ar
rived at upper earth Hiku repaired to
the dead body of Kawelu, bored hole in
the big toe of the left foot, forced the
reluctant soul from the cocoanut shell
into her foot. and, by rubbing. it was
carried up the leg and at length through
the whole form. kawelu had no con-
sciousness of where she had been, and
her first words were, ''How could YOU
be so cruel as to leave me?" j. S. En-
erson, who relates this legend in
Thrum's Hawaiian Annual" QSS3),
adds that in native superstition every
year the procession of ghosts (Oio)
marches down to point ofthe Waipio
valley where they enter Lua Milu. "A
man now living in Waimea, of the best
reputation for veracity, states that
about twenty or thirty years ago he act
ually saw this ghostly company. He
was walking up this (Mahik) road when
he saw at a distance the Oio appear, and
knowing that, should they encounter
him, his death would be inevitable, he
hid himself behind 4 tree, and, trem-
bling with fear, gazed in silence at the
dread spectacle. There was Kameha-
meha, the conqueror, with all his chiefs
and warriors in military array, thou
sands of heroes who had won renOwn in
the olden time. Though all were 81
lent as the grave, they kept perfect
step as they marched along. and passing
through the woods down to Wapio, dis
appeared from his view" 1t will be
noted that this is not very different from
the spectral professions of Odin, Wal
demar, Arthur and others, though of
quite independent origin.
At this point my letter was inter-
rupted by the summons to observe
large water-spout which broke and re-
newed itself nearer to us. 1t was mag
niticent spectacle, and the Arabian de
scription of it as great Afreet is not
inapt. But | must spare your readers
any more mythology for time. The
legends | have cited are those that, be-
lieve, cannot be found in any volume.

Girl Life in India.

On the day of her marriage she is put
into a palanquin. shut up tight and
carried to her husbands house. Hither-
to she has been the spoiled pet of her
mother; now she is to he the little slave
of her mother-in-law, upon whom she
is to wait, whose commands she is 10
implicitly obey, and who teaches her
what she is to do to please her husband
what dishes he likes best and how TO
cook them. Ifthe mOther-in-law is kind,
she will let the girl 90 home occasion
ally TO visit her mother.
OF her husband she sees little or
nothing. She is of no more account to
him than little cat or dog would he.
There is seldom or never any love be-
tween them: and no matter how cruelty
she may be ire ted, she can never
complain to her husband of anything
his mother may do, or he would never
take his wife's part. Her husband sends
TO her daily the portion of food that is
to he cooked for her, himself and the
children. When it is prepared she
places it on one large brass platter, and
it is sent to her husbands room. He
eats what he wishes. and then the plat
ter is sent back. with What is left. for
her and her children. They sit together
on the ground and eat the remainder,
having neither knives, forks, nor
spoons. While sheis young she is never
allowed to 90 anywhere.
The little girls are married as young
as three years of age; and should the
boy to whom such child is married die
the next day, she is called widow,
and is from heucefOrth doomed to per-
petual widowhoOd-she can never
marry again. As a widow, she must
never wear any iewelry, never dress
her hair. never sleep on bed, nothing
but a piece of mating spread on the
hard brick floor, and sometimes, in
fact, not even that between her and the
cold bricks: and, no matter how cold
the night might be, she must have no
other covering than the thin garment
she has worn in the day.
She must eat but one meal a day.
and that of the coarseSt kind of food;
and once in two weeks she must fast
twenty-four hours. Then not bit of
food nor drop of water or medicine
must pass HeT ups, MOI even II SHe "cie
dying. She must never sit down nor
speak in the presence of her mother-in-
law, unless they command her to do so.
Her food must be cooked and eaten
apart from the other wOmen's. She is
a diSgraced, a degraded woman. She
may never even look on at any of the
marriage ceremonies or festivals. 1t
would be an evil omen for her to DO So
She may have been a high caste Brah-
mimic woman; but on her becoming
widow, any, even the lowest servant,
may order her TO do what they do not
Ike to do. No woman in the house
must ever speak one word of love OF
pity to her, for it is supposed that. if a
woman shows the slightest commisera-
ton to a widow, she will immediately
become one herself.

thousand widows in India under six
