their injuries. All the physicians from a

1t is impossible even at this late hour
(midnght) to give list Of the injured and
there are no additions to be made to the
death list. Many homeless and wounded
ones are tonight sheltered by imprOvised
tents but by far the greatest number are out
in the open air, with nothing to shelter them
from the cutting wind that has not ceased
with the storm.
Estimates of the loss are now impossible,
except to say that in nearly every instance
the loss was total, many not even saving
enough clothing to protect them from the
inclcment weather.

VALPARAISO, Chilli (via Galveston, TeX),
Auril 29-[By Mexican Cable to the New
York Herald-Special to THE BEE 1T is
quite generally known in Santiago that Min
ister Egan did not report the escape of
Holly from the United States legation until
after the fugitive from Chilian Justice is
alleged to have disappeared. Some persons
stlll insist that Holly has not left the
legation.
Minister Egan called upon the foreign
minister yesterday afternoon, but was not
granted an interview by that Official. Minis
ter Viel said yesterday that the only course
left for Chill was TO quietly await the COM
ing of Minister Porter He hoped that
Minister Porter, after investigating
the official acts of Mr.. Egan, would
so present the facts to President
Cleveland that the relations between Chill
ana the United States would be placed on
much better footing. President Montt
said that the Chilian nation had the utmost
confidence in the present government of the
United States and that he believed when all
the facts became known to the authorities
in Washington full justice would be done to
Chilli.

Of his cardinal virtues in the eyes Of the
EMPEROR, but this vermogeusteur Is the
triumph of all his achievements in this
direction. The tax is extremely light,
about one-half Of per cent in a thousand,
and might possibly bring in 30,0OO.O00 marks
or so, but its Importance lies in the fact
that it is intended to be a vast pivot on
which other taxation shall rest, such as the
income tax dues and new legacy law
duties which will shortly be introduced.
But the Indignation OF the business com
munty, owing to the fact that their exact
financial position will become public prop

Surgery.

In one of the best-known Testan
rants in ST. LOUIS there were seated
at a table, enjoying hearty lunch, a
well-known physician and a we'll
known lawyer When the feast was
about ended the physician, rubbing
the region OF his stomach covered by
the lower part of his vest, said: "1'm
out of order down here. l believe I'll
go to DR.. - manning weIl-known
young surgeon who has a reputation
for skill and rapidity in the use OF
the knife) and have my stomach cut
open to see what's the matter" The
lawyer was amazed, and unwilling to
take the doctor at his word, asked
him what he really meant. ''Why,"
said the doctor, II mean what say.
The right way to treat the stomach
is by opening it and finding out what's
the matter. That's what surgery ls
coming to. Tt will be the regular
practice in a few years; indeed, it is
frequently done now. They used to
think it was certain death to expose
the bowels, but they've got over that.
I am in medicine, but, not In surgery,
but know what the surgeons are
doing. and even now they take out a
mans bowels, fix them up again, and
put them back all right"

General Farm Hints.

LOOK out for the colts at pasture
when the storms come on.
IF you own a good boar he never
should be allowed to be taken off the
farm.
IF your hogs are not profitable in
veStigate and see if your system OF
management is at fault.
In buying creamery get one that
has plenty Of ice space so that big
chunks of ice can be put in.
MANY farmers wear out fifty dol
lars worth of horse flesh in year try
ing to save buying ten dollar pillow.
MANURE can be hauled out and ap-
piled at any time during the fall and
winter when the other work will per-
NIT.
DRIED perSpiration should not be
allowed to remain on the horse; it
conduces to skin disease and para
sites.
GosLINGs are the easiest of any
young fowls to rear They also grow
more rapidly than other feathered
thing.
On the average farm it is a good
plan to plant out few fruit trees
every year in order to keep up the
supply.
GOOD shelter will reduce the
amount of food required to winter,
and consequently reduce the cost Of
both mutton and wool.
A HARD, dry floor, that never be-
comes a puddle in rainy weather, and
that can be swept or raked clean once
a day, is a good floor for poultry
house.
IT costs more to winter than to
summer a calf that must be fed on
milk, and a fall calf is ready to take
advantage Of grass in the spring,
while spring calf must be wintered
on dry feed.
BONES make valuable fertilizer,
and may easily me made available
for use by burning and crushing them.
Do not suffer them to lie around, a
nuisance and an eye-sore, but utilize
them to make crops grow.

For the Housewife.

To CURE insomnia eat onions, raw
if possible, and battle the feet in hot
water, just before retiring.
THE wise picture Trainer will paste
light MANILA paper over the back of
every frame. as it effectually prevents
dust from reaching the pictures.
A TEAsPooNFUL of lime water in a
cup of milk is an excellent remedy
for delicate children whose digestion
is weak; it is also beneficial to persons
suffering from acidity of the stomach.
1t gives no unpleasant taste to the
milk.
A CORN cure that is simple and said
to be very effective is to apply a
pinch of common white chalk scraped
to a powder. Bind it against the
corn with linen rag. Repeat this
for several days, and unless very OBJ
stinate the corn will come off like a
shell.
A SIMPLE device for cooling the
store closet when it opens out of the
kitchen and is located on the sunny
side of the house is to have a hole cut
in the floor, covered over with wire
netting, so as to permit the cool air
to pass out of the cellar into the
closet. The cool air coming in con-
tact with the warmer air of the
kitchen makes a constant circula-
tion.
An eminent children's physician is
reported as saying that infants gen.
orally whether brought up at breast
or artificiallv, will in warm, dry
weather take water every hour with
advantage, and their frequent fret
fulness and rise of temperature are
often due to their not having it. In
teething, spoonfuls Of water given
every hour or oftener, cool and soothe
the gums, and this with larger COOL
ing evaporation. often stops the
fretting and restfulness so universal
at this period
