AFFAIRS IN CHILE.

condition of affairs in the Republic
of Chile are most conflicting anC
contradictory, the friends of each
party endeavoring to make it ap'
pear that their own side IS on the
point of gaining the day.
In all this confusion of reports
it is however noticeable that dis.
patches dated from Valparaiso gen,
orally seem to lean towards the
Government or President Balma.
cede's side, while those from Bu-
enos Ayres appear to favor the
popular or so-called insurgent side.
Thus the S. F. Bulletin reports
from Valparaiso January oath:
"The revolted ships have been ex-
PEELED from Chilean ports The
people and army support the Gov
ernment which has taken severe
measures against the insurgents.
All the country condemns the re-
volted ships and asks that the
authors of the revolt be punished" "
While dispatch of the same day
from Buenos Ayres states the in
surgents continue to gain strength
and confidence. Workmen en-
ployed IN the factories at Valpa-
raiso are joining the insurgents.
Large forces aud sympathy seem
TO be with the rebels. Business
paralyzed. The Government has
declared the large towns in a
state of siege" A telegram to
the Alta from Buenos Ayres one
day later January 25th) re-
ports that the rebels bonn
barded Coronel and that several
persons were killed and wounded.
The government troops are trying
to surround the insurgents in the
Coquimbo district" Other reports
again represent several of the
coast towns as blockaded by the
insurgent navy, which is being
closely watched by the naval forces
of neutral powers. Admiral Latowe
of the Chilean navy speaking in
Paris said that if the army joined
the movement the end of the revo-
luton would only be a.matter of
few days. He thought a conflict
between army and navy entirely
improbable.
A conference has been held be-
tween President Balmaceda and
the fifteen deputies when it was
hoped that the President would
tender his resignation; he did not
do so, however, and the conference
had no result.
We should be inclined to credit
the Buenos Ayres kilograms rather
than those from Valparaiso, the
former being more independent
than the latter, which is at present
IN the hands of the Balmaceda
party. Evidently the bulk of the
Chilean navy is on the popular side,
and Chile is exceptionally vulner-
able from the sea, as all its produce,
corn, coal, copper, other minerals,
nitrates, etc., are produced near the
coast, and all export as well as i'm
port trade is carried on by sea.
Moreover, by law passed in 1887
the regular army is not to exceed
5,SS5, supplemented by a National
Guard of citizens numbering 47,774
so that it must be these latter who
hold the balance in their hands.
So that if the navy, National Guard
and coast towns pronounce for the |
same cause, that cause seems likely
to win.

Glass in Old Egypt,

'"The glass blowers of Thebes were
as great proficients in their art as,
possibly greater than, we are after
the lapse of forty centuries OF progress
and retrogresslon. They possessed
the art OF staining glass, and they
produced the commodity in the ut
most profusion: Rosellini gives an
illustration OF a piece OF stained glass
of considerable taste OF design and
beauty OF color, in which the color is
struck through the whole vitrifed
structure, and there are instances of
the design beng equally struck through
pieces of glass half an inch thick,
perfectly Incorporated with tie
structure, and appearing the same on
both the diverse and the reverse side.

We're great glass makers, and, says
one authority, not only had factor
les for common glass, but, profting
by their discovery Of the property OF
oxides Of metals, which they got from
India, OF vitrifying different colors,
conceived the project of initiating all
precious stones which commerce
brought them from that country.
"They were favored by nature,
moreover in having at hand an un--
limited supply OF pure sand and kale,~
and their glass derived it's,
good quality as we'll as from these
substances as from the farther fact
that in it's preparation they utilized
the ashes OF a peculiar genus of kelp
that grew in abundance by Lake Ma
reotis and the red sea. They initiated
amethysts and other precious stones
with wonderful dexterity, and besides-
the art of staining glass, they must
have been aware of the use of the
use of the diamond in cutting it and
engravingit; for in the British Meuseums
there is a piece Of exquisitely stained
glass, OF the time of Thothmes III.

Late Fall PIGS.

This is a subject on which there !las,
been much discussion pro and CON,
some claiming that fall pigs can be-
raised successfully while others say
not. I think they can, but that it
depends q great deal on circumstances,
or what might be more properly
termed conditions, also on the &C.
commodations.
If we have warm and pleasant.
weather until the middle ofNovember,
and a good comfortable house at.
night, then, along with proper food
and attention, it may be done. On
THANKSGIVING Day, 1886. we had u
SOW which narrowed seven pigs. We.
made a good warm pen for her in one
corner OF the barn by mailing up an
unused stall. AS soon as the pigs
were old enough to begin to eat, say
at 3 or weeks of age, we kept con
stantly before them in an adjoining
pen, where the old SOW could not get
at it, such food as soaked corn.
shorts and milk mixed, also,
clear milk. They were kept in
the barn until about the 1st of
May, when they were turned out in,
clover pasture and fed plenty of food
along with what clover they wanted
to eat, until the following summer,
some time about the first week of
July, when they were sold. Their,
average weight at that time was 2lO,
pounds, which I think was fair. While
these did well I would not advise.
having fall pigs come so late. / think,
about the middle of September or
first Of October Is plenty late enough,
as that would give them from six to
eight weeks of nice. weather to get q
good start before the real cold weather
sets in. Neither would recommend
that you have any more pigs come,
than you have accommodations Tor

Breeding Poultry.

Before the poultry is fattened for
market a sufficient number for breed
ing purposes should be selected out.
These should be the best fowls on the
place, if the duality OF the flock. is to
be kept up. With chickens it is not
best to keep all young hens or all
young pullets, as old hens make the
best mothers, while often pullets make
the best layers. .'.~
Keep one rooster to every dozen
hens, if the poultry are to be allowed
to run at large. Better results could
be obtained If the roosters could be
kept from the hens until they are Is
months old. When young hens are
used the boosters should be 2 years
old. There is nothing gained by keep
ing more roosters than are needed for
breeding, as they add to the cost with
out increasing the income.
One turkey gobbler will answer for
dozen hens, so that ordinarily one
will be all that will be necessary to
keep. From three to five hens, how
ever, will be as many as an ordinary
farmers wife will care to look after.
Unless a speciality is made ofkeeping
them for the eggs, one drake and five
ducks are enough. They will make a
good breeding pair. Ducks. if given
comfortable quarters, will often begin
laying the latter part Of January or
the first of February, butsusually it is
not best to commence Matching until
March.
Guineas prefer to mate IN pairs, but
if fewer cocks are kept they will mate
with several hens. They do not usu-
ally begin laying until spring and can
be set at any time during the summer.
With geese the better.plan is to keep
thu old geese for breeding and sell the
young ones. The young geese will
bring q better price in market, while
the older fowls will lay as many eggs
and grow as many feathers.
Pigeons mate IN pairs in February,
and it is not desirable to have odd
fowls Of either sex.
DO not, undertake to keep to many
fowls. More profit can be secured from
small number given good care than
q large number left to shift for themsel-
ves. But those that are selected should

and then almost instantly, 1 beheld
standing in the door way with the
skirts of her riding-habit gathered
over one arm, Annie Cartwright, gaz-
ing fxedly at the burning candle.
"Go back! Go back!" I shrieked in
my deadly fear.
She started, and turned pale as
death, but with firm, answering step
she walked straight up to the barrel
OF gunpowder, thrust her hand deep
into the shining mass, grasped the
lower end Of the candle, and raised it
swiftly from it's dangerous position.
Then l saw her slight body sway
backwards and forwards, and I knew
she would faint. But before conscious
ness left her she dropped the candle
on the ground, and set her foot on it,,
plunging the shed in darkness. LIZA.
l heard low, sobbing sigh, and the
sound Of a. fall, and then the
sound OF another approaching horse

n Acertaln class of Jewish peddlers
desire only to deal with people Of their
own race. They visit the houses of
the poorer quarters Of the city, where
Jews live side by side with Germans,
Swedes, Bohemians, Poles, Irish, and
others, yet they never knock at the
door OF aroom where other than a,
Jew resides
How do they do this? Their certain
ty is due to simple cause not known
to the GENTLE which dates back to-
the time when history was young.
The Jewish Biblical story says that
Moses instructed his followers to keep
green the memory of their departure
from Egypt by marking their houses
50 that they could be distinguished
from those of the Gentiles. The last
curse sent to Pharaoh'speople was the
slaughter of frst-borns. The Jews
marked their doors with lambs
blood, and the Destroying Angel
passed by the doors so marked. This
and the Biblical injunction led to a.
custom among the orthodox Jews.
which is followed to the present day.
On the door-frame at the entrance to-
every Jewish house there is nailed O.

inches long and one-half or whole.

Not only is this placed at the

orthodox Jews touch the object and
kiss their fnger-tips every time they
pass beneath it. In portions Of
Europe where the jews are less modern
than here the little tin boxes are
placed at the outer entrance of the
houses, but here it is the custom to-
nail them on the inner portion of the
door-frames.
And it is by looking behind the
street door that the Jewish-peddler
can tell whether or not one of his CO..

Remedies for Black Knot.


Horticulturalists have long been in
the habit Of cutting off knots and
burning them. In using the knife in
this way care should be taken not to
60 to trees which do not show the dis.
ease, for it is possible to carry it in
this way. Prof. Maynard, of the
Massachusetts agricultural expert
ment station, has given the subject of
treatment OF this disease some atten-
ton for a number OF years. He has
applied linseed oil, turpentine ard
kerosene. All of these have proved
more or less effective in destroying the
fungus. Kerosene aud turpentine
should be used with care since the
twigs may bekilled by them. He also
suggested using sulphate of copper on
the whole trees in the spring and q
more concentrated solution with q
brush on the forming knots. He also
states that painting the knots with
red oxide of iron in linseed oil is very
efectual. DR.. .Halstead says: ssWhat
needs to be done is to remove the
black knot from the orchards and gar
dens throughout the state. Ii there
are only few isolated excresences
here and there on the, plum and cherry
trees, the Importance OF removing
these. is still great, for they are seats
of contagious disease which is con-
stantly gaining ground.

The Bee Moth,

The bee moth, Galleria cereana,
says Prof. Cook, is a generally recog-
nized enemy of the honey bee; yet it is
usually powerless to iniure but weak
colonies, especially OF the yellow races
OF bees. Though called the wax
moth, it really feeds mostly on pol
len, though it cuts the comb in a. ruin,
Gus fashion, as it tunnels through and
through it in search OF it's real food.
1t is not considered serious enemy
by any well informed bee keeper, but
will often do serious mischief to weak
colonies Of bees by mating, soiling and
tunneling the combs, and in this way
exciting and dispiriting the bees. It
is also ruinous to exposed combs,
and thus makes caution on the part
OF the bee keeper an imperative neces.
sity to success.

A VALUABLE HEAD,
A Wonderful Incident i'm the Life O.
Tom Starr.


The remarkable career of old Tom
Starr, the notorious Cherokee desper-
ado, which has lately appeared in
print, recalls an interest in his life the
plainest statement of which sounds
like romance, says the Globe-Demo-
GRAFT. Bill West was old TOMS
brother-ln-law, and the most power
full man Of his day, in the Cherokee
nation. A blow from his fist was as
deadly as Winchester bullet, With
this formidable weapon he killed sew
al men, and a law was passed declar-
ing BilPs fist a deadly weapon. Old
Tom and Bill had been close compan-
ions, but one day they quarreled over
the division of the spoils of a plumber
ing expedition. West struck at Starr,
but the willy savage lodged the blow
and at the same deity placed long,
keen knife-blade between the formers
ribs. This was the tragic END of
Bill West. At this time there
was a reward Of $4,000 offered
for Vests head and $5,OOOffor that
OF Starr. Old Tom was in need of
ready cash and determined to run the
risk OF losing his own head by trying to
secure the reward on that OF his broth
er-in-law. So, after killing West, he cut
off his head, put it in q gunny-bag,
and proceeded to Tahlequah, the CAPT
tai, where he presented his CORY charge
to the chief with the proof that it was
the right head and demanded the. re-
waed The chief and the treasurer
are both old men, and they knew old
Toms reputation. They also knew
that the reward on Vests head was
$4,000, while that for old TOMS was
$4,000. But Starr was there himself
and meant business. At the muzzle'
OF a. six-shooter the treasurer forked
over the $4,000 and Tom departed
with the money, to the delight and as
tonishinent OF the people OF Table,

An Old Game That I. Amusing.

In Lower Canada the boys have a
game that no doubt their ancestors
brought over with them from la belle
France centuries ago, but which l have
never seen played by the boys of the
other provinces. 1t is called La Main
ChaUden-that is, the warm hand-and
when 1 describe it l am sure you will
agree with me hat the name is very
appropriate.
One of the players takes his seat in
the chair. Another is blindfolded and
either kneeling down before the settee
or simply bending forward, as he may
prefer, rests his head on the others
knee. Behind his back, with palm out.
stretched, he holds his right hand. The
game is now ready to begin.
The other players range themselve;
round the blindfolded one, whose palm
lies 80 temptingly open, and in turn
give his hand a smart slap with theirs.
1t is the business of the unfortunate
wight hui being slapped to guess who
strikes him, the sitter determining the
accuracy of the guess, and the instant
he guesses correctly the person whom
he has thus found out takes his place
and the game proceeds.
When not too roughly played a great
deal of fun may be had out of La Main
Claude, but, of course, undue violence
must be guarded against.-New York

A Tilted lover, it is asserted, having
lost his wits, determined to commit
suicide, and thereupon drew up his last
will and testament, wherein he ordered
his body TO be boiled down and all the
fat extracted. The fat was then to be
made into a candle, which, together with
along letter attached to the will, was to
be carried at night time to the girl who
had Tilted him, so that she might read
his last adieus by his own light.
Many persons of sound mind have
directed that their bodies should be dis
posed Of in a more or less singular
manner. Sir James Tillie desired to be
buried, not in any churchyard, but IN
der a tower he had erected in his own
park. Similarly, Mr.. ]. Hull desired
to be buried under a tower on the top
of Leith hill, the highest point in his
native county of Sussex, whence, I'M
doubtedly, if his ghost walks, and has
any taste for scenery, he may enjoy
one of the most charming views to be
obtained within a hundred miles of
