Hox They Farm In Chilli.

Farming in Chill is conducted on the old teudal system The country is divided into great estates. owned by people who live in the cities and seldom visit their haciendAs, as they are called. The tenants are permanent, and have retainers in the form of little cot tages and gardens. for which they pay no rent. If the landlord requires their services they are always subject to his call, and are paid by the day or month for whatever labor they perform, generally in orders upon the supply sto-e or comnisSary of the estate, where they can obtain food, clothing and other articles, and rum-especiAlly rum They are given small credits at these stores. and as the law prohibits c tenant from leaving a landlord to whom he is in debt, the former Is never permitted to ssttle his account. The psons never get ahead They live and die on the same estates and in the same cabins where their fathers and grandfathers lived and died, and know nothing of the world or the eondi- tions of men around them. Although they are badly treated fin most cases, they are al- ways loyal to their masters and take their peonsge as 0 matter of course.
 The war with Peru had a demoralizing ef- feet upon the agricultural population, from which the army of Chili was recruited. and it will require many years to recover from it. When they returned from the war it was found almost impossible to get the men back to the estancias. They were enAmored of mil itary life. and had got taste of city dissipa- ton, and large proportion of the army, when it was mustered out, became thieves, beggA1 and highwsymen. There is not enough labor in the country to work the farms, and the lack has not only caused higher wages to be paid, but hes done much to break up the old system Immigration is encouraged, labor saving machinery is being introduced from the United States, and new conditions are promised. But the estancieros who adopt la- bor saving machinery have to get some i'm migrant to operate it, as the native can sel- dom be induced to do so, and when he does, usually smGshes the implement at the first

Tn. Bonp.t. of an Empress.

The Empress Josephine once bought thirty eight bOnnets in one month. We do not know at what number her mighty husband drew the line; but 1t is a fact that, having learned that she had in dulged herself with the acquisition of this large number, he-when he one day went into the saloon leading 10 her apartment and found in it Mile. DespesuI, the milli- ner, with a huge pile Of suspicious looking bandboxes-was 50 indignant at the idea of his wife making fresh purchases, that he flew into such a passion that every one ran away, leaving him to decide whether be would vent his rage on poor Josephine, who was prisoner with her feet in foot bath. or on the milliner herself He did little of both. He was so angry with Josephine that she was speeches. with terror; and he sent for Savary, his minis ter of police, and ordered him to arrest Mile. Despeaux She was sent to La Force immediately; and though her fear of Napoleon and horror of Q night in prison made her i'll, her fortune was prob ably made by this startling outbreak of imperial temper. Next day nearly every one in Paris flocked to see her, hear her story and condole with her. She never could have lacked custom after this Ladyis World.

c,,,l,,.t,op., Prorr... fin Japan.

The citizens of Tokio are to be treated to an exhibition of wrestling and sparring a rAnglaise. Bills announcing the novelty are now circulating freely in upper and lower circles. The design selected to captivate the public is pair of muscular athletes dealing strong blows at each other amid 8 crowd of admiring specta- tors, the whole surmounted by a wreath of flags with tine royal arms of England at the top. The letter press informs the public that the Sparring and Wrestling company proposes holding its first meet ing on the 9th inst, at o'clok, in Ko- bikicho, SanchOme, and that the prices of admission are to be from l yen to 10 sen. Of course, the performance is vigorously puffed, the public being informed, inter alia, that foreign wrestling is 0 combina- tion of the three Japanese accomplish ments, jujutsu gymnastics), kenjutsu (fencing1, and sumo (wrestling1, and that all men of muscle and spirit should not fail to witness an exhibition so edifying. The performers claim some sort of con- nection with the American champion, Sullivan. They promise to exhibit them selves during period of ten days, but we do not anticipate that the speculation will prove a success.-Yokohama Mail

THE REAVIS CLAIM.
The Baroness of the CoIorsdOs to Pres'
 Her Suit.

Her Suit.
 A Washington dispatch says that Sophie Tread well, now Mrs. Reevis. and claiming to be the Baroness of the Colorados, will soon have an opportuolty of making her first step toward fame and fortune in Washington. Defeated in Arizona, she comes here and fairly opens the battle at the Federal Capitol. Her husband, MT. ReavIs, is already on the ground arranging preliminsries for the opening performance.
 Mir, Le Barnes, of the Land Office, IS asked by the Baroness to cverrule the Surveyor General of ArIzo1a, who re- fused 10 make 6 survey of the grant as claimed. What the decision will be of the Department is, of course, still un- known.
 It appears from the records that Resvis first advanced his claim to the famous grant some six years ago. He claimed to have acquired the title by purchase from one Willing of St. Louis, whom 1t was asserted was the assignee of on old man named Peralts. After several months Resvis apparently realizing that bis representations were not strong enough to accomplish the
 
 brief period of comparative seclusion he once more blossomed out as the husband of Sophie Treadwell, of YolO county, Cal. Active operations were resumed, and legal talent engaged.
 Just about this time Perslts made bis application to have the claim declared a reservation, Had he succeeded in this move is would have placed him ID a position to blsckmsl every settler now on the claim, including the residents of Phenix and oiher Arizona towns.
 The application was refused. Reayis then proceeded to have a survey made, at his own expense, by young man sp- pointed by United States Deputy Sur veyor. This survey, the surveyor gen eral of Arizona refused to accept or give 1t any official recognition, Later devel- opments surrounded the document with more than usual interest. One day, some few months since, Reavis called on the surveyor-generslo of Arizona. and re- ferred to the survey as being matter of record, being filed as one of the official documents of the office and fairly ss- founded that official. for while deny ing thai the survey was on file he looked over his papers and made the startling discovery thut the document sure enough was duly on file.
 Realizing that most infamous fraud vas being attempted, and that the pa pers had been smuRgled on the official file by some unfsithful employe con nected with the office, the surveyor gen. ersl at once communIcsted the fact to the then Commissioner of the General Land Office. Mir. Sparks. and his letter IS now m the possession of the latter.
 Those best acquainted with the case believe that while Nr. Le Barnes will report against the claimants, they make the tist-foOted assertion that the Bar oness of the Colorsdos had not proved her descent even if the claim had any valid foundation.
 The settlers on the alleged grant, who are represented here, msy, however, feel assured that the Perslts claim will be vigorously examined by the present ad- ministration and that their hard-esrnsd homes are safe until the validity of the alleged claim IS established by s compe- tent tribunal.

E,pIo.Ire Soda Water Bottles.

The yearly increasing consumption of temperance drinks, particularly of aerated waters, is, on the whole, matter for con graduation. It is also fact which rem ders the more necessary some precaution lest the greater demand should itself en- tail certain public disadvantages, which might, with some fOrethought, be avoided. With regard to cost, for instance, recent experience has shown that there is in many quarters a tendency tO unjustifiable extOrtiOn in the retail sale of these very simple drinks. A warning of a different kind has lately been communicated through the daily press with reference to the imperfect filling of soda water bottles. 4 fault of this description is little, if at all. less blameworthy than that to which
 we have already referred. It is necessary for the safe use of aerated waters that the water itself should be in due proportion tO the gas which 1t is intended tO absorb. If it is not, the excess of gas may cause, and repeatedly has caused, an explosion, sometimes with serious consequences. How far, in such cases of accident, the re
 suit was due to some flaw in the bottles themselves is doubtful-LOndon Lancet.

Proper Care of closets.

Many hOusekeepers think that there cannot be too much closet room provided There are many things which are properly put into closets, and other things which should never go into closets. or such are all soiled undergarmentS Clothing that has been worn should not be hung away until properly ventilated. In thn way two fertile sources of bad odors in closets may be ex- cluded. Many hang their night clothes in the closet during the day. TEs also should be avoided unless they have had a thorough airing before being hung. If the closet does not admit of a window, the door should be left open for e few hours each day 10 admit pure air Some persons have ventilators placed just ever the door, but the outside air, if admitted for a short time every day, will purify 6 closet where only clean clothes are hung.

Gold is shipped across the ocean in specie kegs, made of extra hard wood with an extra iron hoop, each keg containing SjOOC. In the interest of security each keg is treated to what is technically known among the shippers ns the ''red taping process" At each end of the keg, in the projecting rim of the slaves above the head, are bored four holes at equiaistant intervals. A piece of red tape is run through these holes, cross ing on the head of the keg, and the ends finally meet in tho center. At the point of meeting the tape is sealed tO the kegs head by wax bearing the name of the shipper.
