UNSEEN FRIENDS.

How many are the friends we do not see
Nor hear, as thro the open door they come
and go, 4
With voices full of wondrous melody
And footsteps soft as sunshine, t. and fro3
We cannot touch their hands, yet they ard
near,
Our lips are impotens their language I'd
repeat, !
Their smiles beguile us not, we see no tear
Nor walk their way adown the mystic
street.
Theyl lead us itwere with silken bond.
They bend above with 'yearning tsnder1
ness,
The songs they sing ara breaths Of memory
fond
And CLINT Of heaven adorns their shining
dress.
By day, by night, in waiting hope or pain
When the starved lips so long for ond
caress,
These friends, whoe'er they be. insight un-
seen,
With joy upraise their willing hands I'd
bless.
And when toward home the soul returns
alone,
And the drawn sob Of parting vets ths
wearied eye,
We hear mellow murmur in the undertone
That bids the heart look into golden sky.

Chilean Beauties.
ITo BE Continued

While the general thought of to-day
in regard to Chile has bellicose tend
ency, it is pleasant to turn to more
peaceful subject in connection with the
little republic. Itmatters 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 contemplation OF
the women of Chile. The races of the
North, who are for the most part fair,
are prone to acknowledge the beauty OF
their dark-eyed Southern sisters. The
standard of beauty may not be so high
that is, it may lack the regularity OF
feature that is so charming, the classic
simplicity which possesses grace OF its
own-but the women of the warmer latl.
tudes have a certain coquetry that IS
more or less Irresistible. Especially so
is it in the case of the creole and Spanish
types which are found in Chile. 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 20 so far as to assert that
it is this manta which lends so much
charm to the wearer, and makes her at
tractiye, while without it she might not
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 appreciate the charm OF
the women of Chile, in whose veins runs
the Spanish blood. There is coquetry in
every motion, suggestive of sly exchange
of notes. at the church porch, under the
ewes of the vatchful duenra. In Chile,
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 a re-
public. Why, they even have women as
street-car conductors, but it must be said
that the manta does not play q part IN
the collection of fares, which, is common
place under any circumstances. Ine
women were put on during the war with
Peru, when men were scarce, and all
needed at the front. These conductors,
however, are many of them very attrac'
tive, and the youth of Valparaiso is not
inclined to SIT inside the car while g
pretty young woman stands on the outer
platform. The Saxon type is not un-
common in Chile, but one cannot recon-
cile the idea of their special dress under
such circumstances, and the best ex-
amples of Chilean beauty arc distinctive

Discipline In All Things.

The decadence of the waltz among Of
ficers of the guard in Potsdam and Ber-
lin has moved Emperor William II. to
admonish commanders of the "society"
regiments that officers who cannot dance
we'll will be excluded hereafter from
court balls. Officers waltzing has been
Williams hobby ever since he came out
of small clothes, and when merely Princs
William of Prussia he made himself
pretty generally disiked in Potsdam BY
informing several Lieutenants and Cap
tains that if they could not waltz with:
out stumbling or colliding they might
better stay of the floor. When several
officers VINO had been addressed thus
sulked in the corners or on the pronen-
ades, he declared that those who couldn't
or wouldn't dance should remain in the
officers casino. The Emperor, it is said,
has taken his cue in this respect from the
old Prince Karl of Prussia, who not only
walked about in the ballroom criticising
the mems dancing, but several times
sent home officers for stepping en- their
partner s trains.
The result of the Enperor's order to
the guard commanders has been the re-
vival of the waltz drills, through which
the older officers used to prepare their
inexperienced comrades for appearance
at court balls. At these drills the young
men laid aside their arms: put on their
full dress uniforms, and were let loose
before competent judges in the billiard
room of the casino. The novices were
compelled to spin without partners
amcng the tables until they proved to
the satisfaction of the Colonels that they
could guide and circulate we'll enough
to render it certain that they would not
disgrace their regiments in the ballroom.
