A South American Farm.

Amongst the many hospitable farms
and haciendas that | visited, we may
take as favorable specimen Sonora
Isidora Cousino's large and beautiful
estate at MaCul, near Santiago, which is
rather, perhaps, a model farm than
commercial enterprise, writes I. w.
Child in Harper's Magazine. The whole
hacienda comprises 500 Cuadras irrigated
and 100 cuadras of mountain land with
out irrigation. Forty cuadras are de-
voted to vines, which produce over 800
600 litres a year; certain portion is
allotted to raising wheat, barley and
oats for home consumption; consider
able space is laid out as park, with
very fine and picturesque ornamental
gardens, and the rest is given up
to alfalfa and grazing. The stud farm
at Macul is important, and the stock
consists of imported Clydesdale, Per
cheron, Cleveland, Anglo-Norman and
thorough bred racing stock, including a
Yankee trotter in all, about hundred
horses and nearly two hundred cows,
bred from thorough bred imported
French and English Durhams, This es-
tablishment being rather an exceptional
one from many points of view, you might
expect to find the farm laborers treated
with the same care as the cattle. But
no. They receive the usual SlNty-nVe
paper cents a day, with food and lodging
gratis The lodging consists of rooms
in an adobe building, with beaten
earth floor, or a cane hut plastered over
with mud, while the food is composed of
a daily ration of two pounds of bread in
the morning, and at midday anunlimited
quantity of beans cooked in grease.
That is all; the laborer receives neither
tea nor coffee, much less beer or wine.
The laborers who work permanently on
the farm all the year round, instead OF
being lodged in barracks, have cot
tage and bit of land, which they are
allowed to cultivate for their own profit;
but in return for this privilege they
have to work at the rate of SO cents
day, or furnish substitute. The labor
ers of this class are called ''inquilinos,
and are considered to be the standby OF
every farm because their services can
be counted on from years end to years
end. Their cottages and plots are in
variably situated on the outskirts OF an
estate, at intervals one from the other,
so that, together with their families,
they form the natural guardians and
watchmen Of the hacienda.

world says a writer in Harpers Weekly.
The punches of grass in the middle of
the lake, the trees lining its borders and
the bold mountains in the background
are reflected 50 clearly and so wildly
that in a photograph it is difficult to
tell which is the real picture and which
is the image, the water itself appearing
like thin sheet separating the two an
tpodal views. 1t is under the guidance
OF Major Galen Clark superintendent of
the valley, that the lake is seen
to best advantage, as. he knows
all the best points of view, and
is armed with slightly concave looking
glass, which makes the scene doubly
mirror lake. No oil-painting could equal
in beauty the miniature views of sub
aquatic landscape shown in this glass in
all the natural cOlors-the blue sky rest
ing on the gray and white rocks and the
dark green trees showing every branch
and every needle with perfect distinct
ness. The climax comes when the sun
begins to peep from behind the mountain
SUBMITS, which here hide it an hour
longer than in the lower valley. In Mr..
Clark's mirror it looks like large cleo
trio light, whose dazzle throws the mir
ror views of sky, mountain and forest
into gloomy shade, making the scene
like dream OF the lower world. we
had to keep on the move constantly
to keep the sun in view, yet not
too high, and | never before realized
how quickly the sun does travel, or how
the conformation of the mountain ridges
can make it seemingly go now to the
left, now to the right. When the sun
had climbed too high to be looked at
comfortably, even in a mirror, breeze
sud 6enly arose and Obl terata1 the
scenery painted on the lakes surface.
Just at that moment two wagon
loads of tourists arrived from the hotel;
they had known as well as we that Mir
ror lake after sunrise is nothing but an
ordinrry pond, but had fingered too long
over breakfast or between their sheets.
Such is the average tourist, travelling
hundreds of miles and enduring the fa'
tigues of staging to see a world famous
scene, and then missing it all for few
more bites of tough beef steak!

exercised by both. Cries rang out by
the men. The Excitement began to in.
tensify-the alligator was gaining. The
brute did not notice the anxious specta-
tors on the shore. Suddenly a report
was heard. 1t was shot at the alli-
gator from a fowling-piece. Needless of
the noise, the contestants in the race
kept on. Only a few feet and the dog
would be a victim.
''In vain did the retriever try to
lengthen the distance, to no purpose.
The alligator was now gaining inch by
inch The dog was becoming inspired
possibly with too much fear, for he made
several piteOus yelping appeals for
help. Seven yards nearer the bank,
seven yards from the goal OF hope
and life for the dog, and still the race
was going on with grim determination.
Every hunter had his fowling-piece
ready to discharge at the alligator as
soon as he could do ii safely. The dog
| touched the slOping, water-covered bank
of the stream, and, with a wild cry of de-
light from the sportsmen and yelp OF
Joy from the dog, he soon was bounding
on the shore. The determination of the
alligator was so great that he stranded
on the bank, but he rested there only for
a moment Several charges Of shot were
poured into him in volley. He turned
! quickly and, with a spring, lashed the
deeper water and dived into the depths

and the mother consequently never dis.
puted the right conferred by the courts.
She heard neither from husband nor
daughter from that time up to the pres
ent day, and journeys to the east have
been made many times IN search OF the
missing daughter The search has been
carried On mostly iu and about Boston
and other Massachusetts, cities until
finally the famll ly was traced TO Nashua,
where Jollie was found to have carried
on a milk farm for some years near
Tyngsboro, Mass, not more than six
miles from Mas hua. Returning to Bos.
ton Jollie resided there awhile, when he
left suddenly one day for parts unknown.
Annetta, encouraged by lady
friend, came to Providence and
quickly secured n profitable position
in an office here. She afterward entered
a dry goods store as a saleswoman.
This morning when Mrs. Jollie applied
to Constable Cooney for aid in search OF
her child he informed her that he had
overheard a conversation not long since
that referred to Amelia Jollie, and
through this information he was very
quickly the means of uniting the long
separated mother and daughter. Mrs.
Jollie, who has for all these years re-
mained single in the hope of a reconclia-
tion, has accumulated a considerable
fortune by land speculation in Helena,
Mont. and Ogden, Utah. She says that
she has spent Il large sum in seeking the
lost child. Mother and daught left for
the west this afternoon.

A Light in Every Berth.

To the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway belongs the credit of being the
first in the country to reduce the matter
of electric lighting Of trains to scientific
perfection. One OF the novel features
introduced in the sleeping cars is a
patent electric reading lamp in each
section. With this luxurious provision
reading at night before and after retir-
ing becomes as comfortable as by day,
and when retiring the toilet may be
made in comfort and seclusion. The
berth reading lamp in the Pullman
sleeping cars run on the Chicago, Mil
waukce & st. Paul railway between
Omaha and Chicago, is patented, and
cannot be used by any other railroad
company. It is the greatest improve
ment of the age. Try it and be con-
vinced.

Big Imports of Canadian Eggs.

A representative of large shipper OF
Canadian eggs is experimenting the picking
of about hundred thousand dozens which
were shipped from Canada during the last
week, says Rutland, Vt, special to the
Chicago Herald. The shipment was made
without picking in order to get the eggs over
the border into Vermont before the Mckinley
tariff bill took effect The representative
says that several hundred thousand dozens of
ergs have been shipped to the United States
within a fortnight for pickling for the same
reason. He says 1t will have the double ef-
feet of largely increasing the price of eggs to
the consumer in this country, and will drive
the Canadian farmers into cheese making
with serious effect on American made ch eese,
with which they will compete in foreign mar
kets.

CHEAP FUEL IN MINNESOTA.
Invention OF Process to Burn Lignite
COaltO A1ynntaDe

Secretary William +. Phelps of the st.
Paul ludustial union has been engaged with
several prominent citizens for some months
In perfecting q plan which will solve in the
most satisfactory way the problem of cheap
fuel in the interior towns of Minnesota and
the Dakotas, not only for manufacturing pur-
poses, which is the most important feature,
but for general heating and domestic pur-
poses, says a st, Paul special TO the Chicago
Tribune, A device has been produced,
patented and thoroughly tested which
Is equally applicable to boiler fur
naces heating furnaces or the ordi-
nary domestic cooking range or stove, and by
means of which it is rendered not only prac-
ticable bTt exceedingly economical TO utilize
on a large scale the Ignite coal Of Northern
Minnesota and the Dakotas The coal can be
delivered In the twin cities at s. per ton. The
device consists in the principle of an arr auge-
ment for controlling the drafts, and entirely
consuming all the gases given of by the coal
In the process OF combus tion, and by the use
of q counter draft the heat is retained in the
furnace or pipes for IA much longer period
than by the direct draft system, so that there
IS practically no waste, BY means of
this device the gases given off by
first combustions are thrown back
again, with fresh supply of oxygen, upon

process preventing the giving off Of black
smoke. Beneath the immense wheat fields

tune in a few months, says San Francisco
dispatch to the Chicago Herald. While the
silver bill was before congress the financlers
of the Orient foresaw the way things were
trending in this country and quietly bought
all the Mexican dollars they could get hold Of
at 81 cents. The silver bill which passed
placed the value of Mexican dollars in the
United States at 95 cents. The result is the
mani ipulators of the Hong Kong and Shang-
hal bank have made barrel of money. Be
fore the deal the stock which had been all
paid up, was selling for .25 per share, but
now it can't be bought for less than S226 a

suddenly the snout of an alligator rose
above the water. The saurian gave

peril and yelped while the alligator
forged ahead. The cries of the party
were continuous, and the dog swan his
best. The alligator did not dip one mo-
ment, but kept his eyes fastened upon
the form ofthe dog. Not an inch seemed
to be gained or lost by either. The race
was matchless. The alligator attempted
occasional spurts making the water rush
by in snowy foam, and the dog, evil
IDENTIFY equal to the emergency, would
lay his ears back and speed along with
astonishing swiftness.
THE middle ofthe stream was reached,
and the distance between pursuer and
pursued remained the same. The
sportsmen began to fear that
the dog would give out before
they could get an effective shot at
the alligator. Under the circumstances
they could not fire for fear Of killing the
dog; besides, having only duck shot in
stead of ball, their chances for inilicting
any damage upon the reptile were few.
THE dog swan anXiOusly, eXcitedly,
fixing his eyes upon the group of men
and the low shore. Only about thirty
yards more and if all went well the dog
wotld be safe. The alligator changed
his tactics He would dip his snOut
slightly under the water, and in a wrig-
Cling way would make astonishing
spurts, but did not seem to decrease the

seemed TO lose little ground, the very
