ssThe Most Ferocious Soldiers fin the
 Worlds
 Letter to the New Orleans Times Democrat
 Should there be a conflict between the United States and Chile it would be fierce while it lasted. The Chileans are the most ferocious soldiers in the world. Those who make up the rank and file of their armies are half-breeds-a mixed race, half Spanish and half native. The Araucani- ans are the only aboriginal tribes which the conquerors from Spain have never been able to subiugate. In western. Pats- gonia they remain to this day unsubdued "a race of fierce giants known by hssrssy to every school boy, preserving its inde- pendence against Caucasian invasion. It is only by a mingling of blood that they have been tanned. From this mingling has been produced the most intelligently say age people probably that ever lived on this earth. In war they are bloodthirsty be- yond descriptions: They outvandal the Vandsls, destroying everything they can in mere wantonness and numbering every prisoner.
 Chileans in general have no regard what
 
 UUited States soldiers or sailors should they encounter these fierce foe. would find themselves obliged to adopt methods of fighting not recognized in civil csdss. Battles would be simply cut-throst engage. ments on large scale. On the battle fields during the recent struggle of Peru and Chile at least nine -tsnths of the corpses were found with their throats cut. This is the Chilean method of combat Each man invariably carries in times oi peace a long carved knife with a keen edge, called "curvs," just the Italian is provided with stiletto. These fellows never fight with their fists, with revol yer or with stick, but always with 6 knife. In private quarrels or in mobi they employ the deadly curve. As sol diers they arc brave to recklessness. They cannot be made to do duty at long range but as soon as they see the enemy they fire one volley, drop their guns and rush in with their knives. In the war witt Peru no quarter was given unless ths whole opposing army capitulated, all pris oners being ruthlsssly slain.

GERMANY'S INSURANCE SCHEME
 How the German Superannuation law is likely to work is indicated by what has taken place in the Grand Duchy of Baden, where it went into force on the first of January. According to the record kept by the annuity department of the State Insurance institute at Karlsruhe, there were during the first six months of the year 2,677 applications for admission to the insurance scheme, and 2,005 annui- ties were granted. The ages of the annui- tants range from seventy-one to eighty six. The gross amount of the annuities for the six months is about $63,000, of which about $25,O00 is paid by the State and the remainder by the contributions of the holders of the policies and their employers. Of course, there will be no such proportion between the numbers of applicants and annuitants in the future, as there was a rush on the part of the old men to take advantage of the new law. The regulation that each annuitant, before claiming his auAulty, muSb COuGElUuto tO tuo lusuThuCo fund for thirty years, does not affect per sons who were already more than forty when the law came into force. They are allowed to subtract from the thirty obliga- tory years as many years as their age, at that time, exceeded forty. Thus a man who, on the 1st of January, 1891, was six ty five will receive his annuity at the end of five years; and he who at that date was already seventy or more could claim his at once. In order to take advantage of this provision of the law, however, an applicant for an annuity must prove that during the years 1888, 1889, 1890 he was in regular employment for at least forty seven weeks in each year; also that he was in the receipt of wages equal to one-third of the average wages of the district in which he lived. The Baden authorities divide the working population into four classes according to the wages which they receive, and the annuities paid vary from $25 to $50.
 It will, of course, take a long time to thoroughly test the law. Its working will be watched with interest in all civilized countries

HIS HATED RIVAL.
4 BashfuI Young Man Who Acted
 We'll in Spite of Himself.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean-l
 The season of amateur theatricals has already arrived. A very select and pri- yate club delighted their friends with 6 performance on Friday night.
 A well-known young lawyer who oficia- ted as stage manager told the following very ludicrous story of the affair to a re- porter for the Inter-Ocean:
 "I sent on a young medical student in the character of lover. who had to make declaration. be accepted, be surprised by rival, challenge him on the spot, declare that he would not stir until this green sward was stained with the blood of one if not of both, order parsnthetically pis- tols for two at once and coffee for one in ten minutes, and, in fact, go through the greatest amount of bombast compressible into A short time. Of course the love making was to be of the most kigh-hown character.
 "'On' he went, and, at sight of the au- dience and the lady seated at her work ! table, subsided immediately into the very l abyss of fear. Instead of rushing franti- | cally towards the object of his affections, | finging himself on his knees and bursting 1 into tremendous rhapsody, as he ought ! to have done, he simply stood and looked i at her, twisting his hat fesbly in his | hands.
 ! "Not one word could he say, but in dead ! silence crept across the stage, slowly took up a chair, offered to sit down, looked be- i hind him to make sure if the chair was really in its place, sat down on the eI- | treme edge of it, looked on the ground, 1 rubbed his knees slowly and now and then glanced up at his intended bride much as a dog looks up when it has stolen some thing and knows it Is going to be whipped.
 "The audience were in scstacies. They l all thought it was pure acting and that the 1 part was that of 6 bashful lover. Certain iy any ono who could set half as well would make his fortune. He had been in possession of the stage some seven or eight minutes without speaking a word, when he opened his mouth once or twice, rubbed his knees again, and at length said in 6 broken and husky voice:
 "'How's your motherf
 "A perfect shriek of laughter burst
 from the audience and gave the opportu-
 nifty for getting him of the stage. The
 rival rushed forward, bounced on him, hauled him of by the collar, flung him.
 self on his knees, did all the rhapsody himself, and we had to patch up the scene as best we could. Although SO complete . ! failure on the part of the individual, thl
 scene was the best of the evening""

SHE WRIsTLBD LEGALLY,

Chicago is in the worlds eye, so to speak, just now. A good many things are happening there, including the prepara- tions for the great fair. We have seen that literary manufactory has recently been started in that city, and that its out put can be bought just as the output of the great pork packing establishments can be. We have also seen the important question of the Onion in School tackled in Chicago and settled on a sound basis-to wit, that the onion can rightfully be eaten by children, that they are acting legally when they take the pleasing odor of the onion with them to school, and that 6 teacher with nose which turns up when 1t smells onion is trife too particular. And now we read that another right has been established in Chi cago. A "servsnt girl" who had been engaged to break things in the house of Chicago woman grew merry over her work as she thought of her "afternoon out" or some other pleasing matter. She was so happy that she whistled in her glee, even as the Jabberwock chortled in it's glee. She whistled loud and long all the tunes she knew and some she didn't know. Her mis tress didn't happen to be believer ir whistling girls, and summarily discharged her, at the same time trying to fine her fol whistling, by withholding what was due her. But the girl went whistling away tc | lawyer, told him what had been done and asked him to aid hel in establishing what she considered the inalienable right of whistling
 He did so and the girl recovered her bacl
 pay, and now goes on whistling as before
 The whistling servant girls of Chicago vii
 undoubtedly be henceforth one of the flea lures of the place.

 do not know, but it will be something. 4

Michigan People.
GRAND RAPIDS Mich, July 17.-Jennie j.
Church commenced suit in the circuit court
yesterday against her husband. Freedom Il.
Church, and his relatives, to restrain him
from being too free in distributing his
money. The couple were married in 1870.
she went to New York to visit relatives six
months later, and in her absence he went
to Illinois and before she gained a trace
of him, he had gotten a divorce and
married another woman. He found tie
original divorce was invalid owing to infor-
malities, and. after the lapse of year. OBJ
tanned another divorce and a second time
married the woman with whom he was
living. Six years later his second wife got
divorce from him. In 1885 his first wife.
passing through Detroit, met her husband
on the street; he represented that the di-
vorce he secured was fraudulent, and
begged her to return to him. She did SO.
Church is now paralyzed as result of army
injuries, and receives $72 month pension.
He is an adventist and believes and prac-
tices the tithing system of giving the
church one-tenth Of his income. 4 he bulk
of the nine-tenths he gives his mother,
brother, and sister for their needs.
His wife claims that the relatives unduly
influence him. and asks that they be re-
strained from visiting him or in any way
interfering with her care of him. She also
asks that the divorce he secured in Illinois
be annulled as void, and tkMt she be de-
Clared his lawful wife.
