An Incident Of the War Between Chill
and Peru.

An Incident Of the War Between Chill
and Peru.
Towards the close of the recent war
between Chilli and Peru, the Peruvians
found themselves quite shut in from
the outside world by the Chiiian block
aiding feet that lay off the harbor of
Callao. With two exceptions, the Peru
Wan navy had all been captured or de-
stroyed by the enemy, and these two
remaining ships, vessels of low speed
and little power, were mo0rcd behind
the breakwnter, absolutely useless for
purposes Of war. With all their power
OF opposing the enemy gone, the Peru
VANS turned their attention towards
destroying some of the hostile ships
that lay a few miles off, constant
menace to the city of Callao. Frequent
futile attempts were made to blow up
the Gillian cruisers with torpedoes; but
the Chilians were too alert, and sue
ceeded in avoiding or destroying the
deadly missiles
One forenoon. says Harper's Young
People, the picket vessel of the Gillian
feet, a small steam gunboat, was
cruising inshore to take near look at
the town and Notifications. While
steaming slowly along a boat was dis
covered drifting down with the current.
A nearer inspection proved it to be a
fine new whale boat, with oars and
sails and complete outfit. The COM
mander of the CHILEAN steamed close up
to the boat and ordered tackles rugged
for hosting the prize on board. The
tackles were hooked, and the men on
deck walked away to the pipe of the
boatswain's whistle Suddenly, as the
boat left the water, terrific explosion
took place, tearing the boat to atoms
and crushing in the gunboats side at
the water line, SO that she filed
and sank, leaving her startled crew
struggling in the water. Most of them
were rescued by boats from the foreign
men-of-war lying near, but some were
never seen again. The boat was cum
ingly-devised weapon, having double
lotion filled with a powerful explosive,
with fuse and detonator connected to
the bolts to which the tackles hooked.
When the strain came on the bolts, as
the boat rose from the water, the fuse
was ignited and the explosion followed.

Things.

want of thought.
Upon the soft cheek of little Ethel,
one of the twins, there is a scar which
is a constant reminder of the day he
received his lesson, which viii not soon

One afternoon Mrs. Lyon was called
into a neighbours house. She placed
little Ethel under an apple tree upon
soft green grass, Ralph promising to
amuse and watch her.
Mind, my son, may not be able
to leave poor old Mrs Brown for two or
three hours. She is very sick. l will
take Edith with me and leave Ethel in
your care" said Mamma Lyon.
II will take good care of our sweet
little girl" promised Ralph, really
meaning TO keep his word.
Alasl He forgot his promise and
Ethel 1t was such fun to grab for
minnows in the brook that was hidden
by the hill upon which the Lyon home
stead was built.
Somebody called: Ralph, there's lots
OF 'em in the brook" Away he scudded,
leaving Ethel alone, laughing and
tumbling about gleefully. The boys
had good time until shrill screams
alarmed them.
"Its Ethel. Sam. Mamma left her
under the apple tree. was to mind
her." said Ralph as he ran to the
rescue.
Mamma Lyon, too, heard the cries
and was there before the boys came up
the hill. A war-like old gander had
Topped the poor, helpless baby severe
ly and bitten the tender cheek. 1t re-
quired united efforts of the three to
drive them away.

Ralph.

What punishment do you mean to

mother. II don't blame the gander,
he doesn't know any better"
Mrs. Lyon, l called for Ralph to
come to the brook. but l did not know
he was minding Ethel, said Sam Grail
Ralph must not forget this He
must not forget that we are to be faith
full in little things. II he had been
faithful to his trust, Ethel would have
been spared this suffering. The gan
der would not have attacked her if he
had shaken stick"
On the next day blue bruises marked
the many bites Ethel had received from
the ill-tempered gander.
Ralph's tears fell upon the sore arms
and little face, and from that day he
has been faithful in little trusts and

The government report of June III, on
the wheat crop, shows a reduction as
compared with last year of II points, the
decrease being principally in ILLINOIS,
Missouri. Kansas and California, caused
by cold weather and long drouth. A
vast amount of the acreage sown has

crops.
The condition of winter wheat has
improved but slightly since last report,

cipal spring wheat states as follows: Ne
braska, 65; Missouri, SO: Minnesota, 81;
Iowa, 95; South Dakota, 80; North Da'
kota, so.
The average percentage of acreage for
both spring and winter wheat for the
whole country is 1913, and the condition
for the same 1873.
The percentage OF the acreage of oats,
as compared with last year, is 1907, and
the condition $50 TOR June l, as against
SS.5 for the same month IN lo92. Re-
turns show the percentage OF the acre
9 of rye as compared with 1892 to be
94.3, while the reports OF the condition
make the general average Si.6, the low
est for years. Barley acreage, as com
pared with last year, shows a decrease
OF 81 points, or $40. The condition oil
this crop is 1873, against 92.1 in June last
year.
