GILLIAN BEAUTIES.
Coquettish Daughters of the Pugna-
ciOus RepubIic.

While the general thought of to-day
in regard to Chill has a bellicose ten
dency, it is pleasant to turn to a more
peaceful subject in connection with the
little republic. 1t matters not how
rough the heart of man may be, he is
generally susceptible to beauty, and
thoughts of more gentle conquest may
reign when we forget the men in the CON
temptation of the women of Chill The
races of the North, who are for the most
part fair, are prone to acknowledge the
beauty OF their dark-eyed Southern sis
ters' The standard of beauty may not
be so high-that is, it may lack the reg
ularity of feature that is so charming,
the classic simplicity which possesses a
grace Of its own-but the women of tho
warmer latitudes have certain coquetry
that is more or less irresistible. Espe-
ciallyso is it in the case of the creole and
Spanish types which are found in Chill.
The women all affect the black shawl, or
manta, and this is the regulation morn
ing and church attire, no woman ever
going to mass without this simple wrap,
Some travellers go so far as to assert that
it is this manta which lends SO much
charm to tho wearer, and makes her at
traotive, while without it she might moi
receive second glance. This may be
true; but no matter how beautiful Car
men might be, there would be something
lost throughout the entire opera did she
not wear her manta.
Those who have seen Carmen can ap-
precate the charm of the women OF
Chill, in whose veins runs the Spanish
blood. There is coquetry in every mo-
ton, suggestive of sly exchange of notes
at the church porch, under the eyes of
the watchful duenna. In Chill, however,
the women do not suffer the tiresome
chaperonage that is undergone by their
Spanish sisters; but perhaps that is one
of the advantages of tho republic. Why,
they even have women as street-car con-
ductors, but it must be said that the
naanta does not play part in the col
lection of fares, which is commonplace
under any circumstances. The women
were put on during the war with Peru,
when men were scarce, and all needed at
the front. These conductors, however,
nre many of them very attractive,
and the youth of Valparaiso is not
inclined to sit inside the car while
pretty young woman stands on
the outer platform. The Saxon type is
not uncommon in Chill, but one can
not reconcile the idea of their special
dress under such circumstances, and the
best examples of Chilian beauty are dis
tinctive,- Harper's Weekly.

Oranges Versus KeeIey.

The value of oranges as an article
of food is we'll known, says the New
York Times. 81 buy them by the
box," says mother, ''and let my
children eat them constantly in lieu
of candy or other priced childrens
daintics. / consider that l save
money by it," At some of the in
ebriate asylums oranges have proved
an efficient substitute for alcohol,
patients sucking the juice of them
abundantly every time the thirst for
liquor comes upon them. This fact
is so well recognized that often at
temperance coffee stands piles of lu-
scious oranges are also kept.

How yaluabies are Struggled.

SmuggleTs are more successful In
concealing jewels than any other ar
ticles of merchandise; they are neither
heavy nor bulky, and easily handled
in consequence. Innumerable in
stances are related of the tricks and
ingenious shifts of custom-house
crooks in passing them from the
steamer to the hands of consignees
without paying Uncle Sans toll.
One of the latest tricks is Of lady
who brought a pelican all the way
with her from Africa to New York.
The pelican was very tame and gen.
tie, and was great favorite with the
passengers on board the vessel. 1
knew some diverting tricks that it
would perform on command of its
mistress, but / knew one trick its
owner did not care to exhibit. This
was the ability IL possessed to carry,
for almost any given length of time
within reason, various articles in the
capacious pouch attached to its
lower beak, or mandible. In its wild,
native state, the pelican uses this
pouch as a receptacle for the fish
upon which it lives, and which it
will convey for long distances to its
young. When about to land at one
of our Southern ports the pelican was
taken aside by a maid-who after
wards betrayed her mistress to the
authorities-and loaded up with
watches, brooches, gold chains, and
jewelry of every description, which it
faithfully concealed and carried
ashore. A baby's tin horn, picked up
in the streets of Mobile by colored
man, and given by him to his chill
dren to play with, was, when acci-
dentally broken, found to contain
several large 'pigeon- blood" rubies
and sapphire. The gems were
somewhat marred and scratched, but
exceedingly valuable, the rubies be-
ing worth more than diamonds of the
first water. The fortunate finder is
now a prosperous merchant in Val
paraiso. The jewels were unques.
tionably smuggled, and the secret of
their concealment. through the death
of their owner or from some other un-
known cause, lost, as well as their
valueless receptacle. Babies them
selves have been known to assist in
this nefarious business. Little does
the cuStom-houSe officer suspect,
sometimes, as he sees a nurse OF
mother pressing an infant closely to
her arms and calling it her ''dearest
treasure" and her ''precious pet, y
how literally true he would find the
words were he to examine the under
garments, the lining of the cloak, and
even the cap of the little one. Dolls,
too, are the worst kinds of SNUG
glers. Perhaps the wickedest of
these are made by squaws on the
strip of the Pacific coast in the
British dominionS Their poor little
bodies are receptacles for the vilest
liquor. They are sent in great num-
bers to Alaska, whence they do their
best to debauch and destroy the ma
tives, already decreasing fast in num-
bers, prey to civilized vices. No
body of public servants, perhaps, have
greater or more difficult duties to
perform than those imposed upon
custom house officials. The important
questions that arise in every depart
ment are alone sufficiently intricate
and perpleXing; but the constant
strain upon all the faculties required
to meet every species of fraud and
chicanery, is wearing to the last de-

Consumption of Smoke.

The following simple method for the
consumption of smoke is given by a
German paper: Start the fire as usual
and let it burn until the Goals are in
bright glow; then rake the Goals on the
grute to the right and left, SO as to form
an empty space along the middle, and
put the fresh Goals into this space. The
smoke which is formed from the fresh
Goals is consumed by the glowing fires on
either side. If the CRATE is very wide
two such open spaces in the fire are I'D
vantageous for tho addition of fresh fuel.

A New Variety of Cane.

Many new plants have been brought
to light in the recent explorations by
Englishmen, Frenchmen and Germans
in equatorial Africa, but one in particu.
lar has a special claim to the attention
of West Indians.
In the Upper Niger region, where
great heat and moisture combine to pro.
duce luxuriance of tropical vegetation,
a giant variety Of sugar cane has been
found, which is described as possessing
great saccharine richness and being re.
produced from seed, which in this variety
is we'll developed.
This is indeed news to the sugar
planter, and from botanical point of
view confirms the theory that our pres
ent cultivated varieties are descended
from an original perfectly Towering
and seeding plant, the perpetuation OF
which by cuttings impaired in course OF
time the original attributes of the par
ent variety. The agricultural board
and local planters should take particular
note of this reported discovery, and sc
also should the government botanist

Points on Printing.

James Beal, printer, OF Philadel-
phia, in a neat folder, gets off the
folio wing nine points on printing:
HINT 1.-Hold your order until the
very last moment, then rush the
printer. This invariably produces
can A l Job.''
HINT 2.-It is q mistaken idea that
copy should be plainly written. A
reputable printer is able to decipher
hieroglxphics without any Rosetta
Stone.
HINT 3-Never adopt any sug-
gestion made by the printer. He is
too apt to cling to antique precc-
dents. Progress is not his lexicon.
HINT 4.-Always demand a dis
count from the estimated price,
Most of the craft are in business
merely for love of the art.
HINT 5.-Be sure to insist on choOs.
ing your own display lines. You
thus insure unique and startling
effects.
HINT G.-Never inspect IL proof sub
mitted to you. You are not tht
printers proof reader.
HINT Railways add ga little more
matter to the proof. it always add:
to the symmetry of the job.
HINT 8.-Never pay cash for your
work. It encourages unthrifty hab
it's in tine printer.
HINT 9.-Occupy leisure moments
in getting estimates upon mythica
jobs. This keeps ennui from thu

A Plea for the Roadside Weeds.


The foe of natural grace and beauty
is the road commissioner, whose mistak-
en- zeal is allowed annually to remove
the grass which seeks to soften the dusty
outline of the road along its untrodden
borders and cutters. This is an expen-
sive process and wholly unnecessary,
since adding to the dust capacity of the
street is the only service it accomplishes,
the short, thick turf affording no OBJ
struction to carriage wheels. This is
called "clcaning up" the street, when,
as matter of fact, it only adds to its
dirt.
But worse phase Of the cleaning up
mania is apparent when the jealous
commissioner proceeds to remove from
the banks of the highway what he terms
weeds-namely, the graceful mantle of
vegetation with which nature ever
seeks to conceal the wounds which man
has made. It is interesting to watch
the process by which the devastations of
the road cutter are tempered to the eye
by the beautiful natural screen of vines
and heritage, which, if let alone, will
soon cover the rough unsightly place
with drapery of verdure when the
reckless workman has left behind him a
shorn and barren waste.
After his inroads banks of sand and
gravel are left on each side of the wide
road, from which every spear of grass
has been banished, the fences stand up
stiff and stark, the rocks protrude from
the soil, the trees which cannot be felled
have their lower branches rudely cut
away, so that their trunks are gaunt and
unsightly, stumps are left along the
edges of the fields and the soft turf is
replaced by sandy slopes to be quilted by
the rain.
