dacks as a very high mountain, and
boast of having climbed it. 1t is 52OO
feet in height. The lowest of the passes
over the Andes is Planchon. It has II, :
455 feet of altitude. Chilean enterprise
has projected q railroad over the Andes,
which is now under construction. With
or without the railroad the mountains
are natural boundary, and Chile and
Argentina will never quarrel over dis
puted territory.
But travellers tell US that the beauty
of the country passes all description,
that the country from end to end pre-
sents a magnificent and bcwildering
spectacle, glorious panorama of bright
ness and shadow, of paradise and desert.
Travellers also tell us that the country is
wonderfully inspirating. Its climate Is
everything one wants. If you want
warmth, 60 north, to the land of figs and
oranges. If you want cold, move south
to the vast pine forests. If you are not
particular, settle anywhere between these
extremes. In Santiago, the capital, the
temperature is never higher than seventy
degrees, and never lower than fifty-two
degrees. It never rains there except
during the four winter months, but dews
always keep the atmosphere moist and
pleasant. There is no country more
healthful than Chile, the travellers say.
Chile has enormous natural wealth.

to that used in our Western States, is car
ried to degree approaching perfection.
The farmers of a section combine to tap
a river and ditch its water to their acres,
where it is distributed, the expenses be-.
ing borne in common. Under that sys'
TEN the whole country blooms like a gar
den. Oranges, lemons, and figs abound
toward the north. Then comes the region
of fax, corn, grapes, olives aud peaches.
Further south, where the climate is much
like that of Great Britain, wheat, barley,
rye, flax, and corn are cultivated with
immense success in quantities sufficient
to supply the nation and export largely.
Peru and Bolivia depend to great ex-
tend on Chile for their cereals. Travellers
praise that favored part of Chile in words
which seems excessive.
The timber and fisheries belt, compris.
ing an enormous territory, is almost an
unexplored wilderness. Its forest wealth
is declared to be unsurpassed, except by
the British possessions of North America.
The trees are of varieties unknown to US,
but Just as satisfying to the needs of man.
Capital is attacking the edges of the
forests, and an export business has been
begun with Europe, The fisheries are of
immense value. They, too, are entirely
undeveloped. The Government is trying
to direct immigration into that part OF
the country, with the hope of realizing
something of its possibilities. But it is
slow work, for the country is wild and
occupied by the Araucauian Indians, who,
if not hostile, are lawless and unpleasant
neighbors. The savages are fearless and
physically powerful. They are coming
under the domination of the Govern
ment, to which they have sold their ter
ritories little by little.
Such is Chile, a country of large area,
enormous natural wealth, wonderful
physical beauty, and great possibilities.
It is surely deserving of domination by
a worthy race.

HARBOR OF VALPARAISO.

In the mineral belt gold, silver, cop
per, lead, antimony. cobalt, zinc, nickel,
bismuth, iron, molybdenum, and nitrate
are found in great quantities and the
mining operations are extensive. The
Germans and English have focked there
with capital to work the mines. Chill
cans also engage in the work as priuci-
pals, but not to the same extent as for
eigners. The country profits enormous
ly by her mines outside of the employ
ment it gives her laboring classes,
through the fees she exacts of the mine
owners for privileges and tho export
| taxes which she places upon ths output.
The silver mines of Chile are among the
! richest and most extensive in the world.
| The stories told by travellers of the per.
centage of pure metal found in the ores
are considered preposterous sometimes,
but there is evidence to show that the
ores are wonderfully rich, surpassed, ,per-
haps, only by few ancient and cele-
brated mines in Peru. The great mineral
wealth of Chile, however, comes from
her nitrate of soda deposits, and therein
lies story.
Before the war of 1878, between Chile
on one hand and Peru and Bolivia on the
other, the northern boundaries of Chile
were fixed indefinitely south of the
Bolivian desert of Atacama. North of
Atacama was the desert of Tarapaca,
which belonged to Peru. Chile never
questioned the rights Of those countries
to her arid regions till it was ascertained
that they were stored with wealth. The
silver mines of Guantaguya and Santa
Rosa, near Iquique in Tarapaca, had
been known before, but it was believed
that the deserts were of no value. But
when it was discovered that in Tarapaca
and Atacama there were inexhaustible
beds of nitrate and borax; that in Alta
CANA were some of the richest silver
mines in the world, and that guano de-
posts had accumulated on the rocky
promontories of the coast, Chile disputed
the boundary lines. A pretence for war
was found upon the aimsiest of evidence.
Bolivia and Peru united in defence.
But together they were no match for
Chile, and both provinces have since
paid their tribute into her Golfers and
form now her chief source of income.
The yearly output of nitrate of soda
is enormous, and hundreds of vessels are
engaged in the traffic of carrying it from
the deserts of Chile over the world.
British capital chiefly is employed in the
great industry. The nitrate is found
from one to ten feet below the soil,
mixed with extraneous matter. In that
form it is called caliche. The beds of
caliche are four to six or eight feet in
thickness, and extend over vast areas of
territory. The Tarapacs desert is espec-
tally rich in it. The caliche is obtained
by blasting, the powder being packed in
deep holes, or tiros, extending through
the upper soil and the caliche itself. 1t
is then loaded on cars and taken to the
shore by train, where it passes through

THY WILL, O GOD, BE DONE.

This is most difficult prayer to utter with
heartfelt sincerity; for the grace Of submis-
sion to Christening Father is the hardest
and the rarest, perhaps, Of all Christian at
tainments-there is such temptation to any
rebellion when the blow cuts deep. A little
one is taken and 'scradle deepens into q
grave" A noble and gifted son isacut off in
his sinewy prime-a son who was the whole
world to her who leaned upon him. A love-
ly daughter withers and droops; her beauty
falls off like the rose leaves, and presently
she goes down to darkness and the worm.
Beside such new-made graves, unbelief m ut
ters its reproaches, not loud hut Deep" But
submission whispers with faltering lips and
choking utterance, "Thy will, o God, be
done,"
A celebrated divine in New England tells

of SORROW" he says; "was filled to the brim.
I stood few moments and viewed the re-
mains of my two darlings, who had gone to
their long home, never to return. l felt at
first as If could not submit to such a COM
plicated af1iction. Ny heart rose In all its
strength against the government OF God and

never enjoyed greater happiness than during
that day and the next. My mind was full
of God, and used to look over toward the
buryiny ground, and long for the time when
could be laid beside my departed wife and
my little ones"
Now, this was beautiful. Here was true
submission. Here was kissing Of the rod
until it was found that it had honey in it..
The excellence Of this spirit of submission is,
that it quietly permits God to hold the scep-
ire. It refers everything to him. 1t leaves
everything with him. Such faith makes a
Christian as quiet las q child that Is weaned
of its mother.'' Such faith sinks the noun
tain to plain. It transforms an heir Of sin
into marvellous likeness of him who, amid
the darkness of Getbsemane, cried out,
Nevertheless. Father. not as l will, but as
thou wi.t."-[Christian Intelligencer.

purifying processes OF dissolution and re-
crystallization. The nitrate is then
ready for the market and is shipped in
bags. .
The deserts which hide the nitrate
beds are desolate in the extreme. 1t is
probable that rain has not fallen on them
for many years. Animals cannot exist
there. Rivers miles away are DETECTED
from their courses to supply drinking
water for the laborers, and all supplies
are brought by railroad. The nitrate
beds are supposed to be the dried bot
toms of salt lakes of prehistoric times.
Many thousands of Chileans are employed
there. Thus Chile derives her largest
income from provinces stolen from
weaker neighbors.
The other minerals found in Chile pay
largely also. Her deserts and mountains
are full of wealth, and are making for.
tunes for those who work them. Her
suano beds are large and profitable, al
though her nitrate has of late curtailed
the demand for guano, being itself

Chiles mountains are full of undiscov-
cred fortunes. Coal of an excellent
quality and of unlimited quantities has
been discovered south of the mineral
belt, and is being mined extensively and
profitably. The agricultural belt south
of the mining region is a delightful
country, covered with farms and dotted
with fourishing towns. 1t is crossed by
railroads in many directions, and is as
prosperous and delightful country as
can be found. The greater cities are
there.
But in spite of the fertile soil and CHI
mate only irrigation has made agricul.
ture possible throughout large part of
Chile. The Andes suck the moisture
from the winds and rain is light and in
frequent. But the industrious Chileans
defect the rushing rivers from their
courses and spread their waters in little
bitches over the country. The system,
which travellers describe as very similar

Chile is more blessed in scenery than
Switzerland. There is no spot in all her
great territory which huge mountains do
not overlook. They are among the high
est in the world. Aconcagua rises d.
427 feet into the air. The two dozen
other volcanoes, not so ambitious, are of
enormous heights also. Below the sum-
mits the rugged and notched ridges of
the mountains glisten whitley till they
subside into pale blue below the snow
line.
The Andes are the eastern boundary of
Chile, in more sense than one. There is
an imaginary line drawn along their sum-
mits which divides the country from
Argentina. Few people cross the Andes.
The passage requires from four to six
days. There are few so.called passes,
but they cannot be travelled except on
mule back. The passes are simply
slight indentations in the mountains.
The best known is Dona Ana. You
have to mount no feet above the
level to pass through it. New Workers
look upon Mount Marcy in the Adiron-

GRATITUDE TO GOD.

Whatever we may say about mans in
gratitude to his fellowmen, there Is no ques-
ton about mans lack of gratitude to God.
We are continually receiving mercies and
favors from him. and yet, are there not days
and days with most Of US, in which we lift
no heart and speak no word of praise? Our
prayers ure largely requests and supplies
tons for help and favor. with but little
alteration and worship. We continue ask
ing and asking, and God continues giving
and giving; but how many of US remember
always or often to give thanks for answered
prayer? The angel of requests-so the le-
gend runs-goes back from earth heavily
laden every time he comes to gather up the
prayers Of men. But the angel of thanks
giving, of gratitude, has almost empty hands
as he returns from his errands to this world.
Yet ought we not to give thanks for all that
we receive and for every answered request ?
If we were to do this, our hearts would al
ways be lifted up toward God in praise.-

THE TRIBUTE OF SILENCE.

A post read his verses. and Of two
Who listened, one spake nought but open
praise;
The other held his peace. but all his face
Was frightened by the inner joy he knew.
Two friends, long absent, met; and one had
borne
The awful stroke and seattle of binding
loss.
Hand fell in hand; so knit they, like a
cross;
With no word uttered, heart to heart was
sworn.
A mother looked into her baby's eyes,
AS blue as heav'n and deep as neither sea.
By what dim prescience, spirit-wise knew
she
Such souls exchanges never more wocld

Aye, deep as life, beyond all lead and line,
And words are but the broken shells that
shine
Along the shore by which the ocean rolls.

disputed. That she is universally feared
by her neighbors is fact. That she is
hated follows naturally. Chile is strong,
aggressive and warlike. She IS to South
America in many ways what Russia is to
Europe. No southern nation will risk
quarrel with her, and her neighbors eye
her askance. doubling her intentions.
Perhaps it may be news to most Amerl-
cans that Chile is large country. She
is small on the map, because her sisters
are ormously larger, but her territory
is extensive. She is larger than any
country in Europe except Russia. She
has $500 miles of sea coast. II she were
plucked loose from her Andes and laid
down over our Atlantic coast. her most
northern part would cover Maine, and
her rock. bound southern extremity would
blot out of existence the peninsular OF
Florida. With that length Chile has a
breadth of fifty to 200 miles. Perhaps it
will further surprise most Americans to
know that Chile is probably the most ad-
vauced nation on her continent. Her
railroad, telegraph and telephone systems
are of the best. Her method of govern
ment is superior to any. Her schools
and universities are in the van of educa'
tion. In methods of farming she equals
the United States. In manufactures she
far distances every South American
country, and she is model for any new
nation in the world. Her mining opera
tions are modern and extensive. Her
commerce is far extending and lncreas-
ing. Chile is not a tropical country, it
must be remembered. She occupies the
same zone that we occupy. The only
South American rival which she has in
matter of civilization and progress is that
amazing republic of Argentine, just
across the Andes, a republic which is sur
passing in growth the best efforts of our
swn wonderful country.
And now comes another surprise. Few
Americans will be prepared to believe
that Chileans are pure white race,
strong of body, sturdy of will, bright of
wit, a people of great courage, determi'
nation and patriotism. They are unlike
any other South American people in
these respects, and that is why they are
feared. They are smaller in stature than
Americans, but larger and sturdier than
