An Incident OF tho War Between Chilli
and Peru.

An Incident OF tho War Between Chilli
and Peru.
Towards the close of the recent war
between Chill and Peru. the Peruyians
found themselves quite shut in from
the outside world by the Chiiian block
ading fleet 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 moorcd behind
the brcalSwater, 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 few miles off, constant
menace to the city OF Callao. Frequent
futile attempts were made to blow up
the Gillian cruisers with torpcdOeS; but
the ChilianS were too alert, and sue
cecdcd in avoiding or destroying the
deadly missiles.
One forenoon, says Harper's Young
People, the picket vessel of the Gillian
fleet, n small steam gunboat, was
cruising inShore to take a near look at
the town and Notifications. While
steaming slowly along boat was dis
covered drifting down with the current.
A nearer inspection proved it to be q
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 tho
boatswain's whistle. Suddenly, as the
boat left the water, a tel rife explosion
took place, tearing the boat to atoms
and crushing in the gunboat's side at
the water line, so that she filled
and sank, leaving her startled crew
struggling in the water. Most OF them
were rescued by boats from the foreign
me2-of-war lying near, but some were
never seen again. The boat was clln-
,niniSly-devised weapon, having double
bottom filled with q powerful explosive,
with a fuse and dctonator 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 ignitcd and the explosion followed.

THE VENGEANCE OF WOLVES
A Pack Kills Oie or Their Number for
Supposed Lying.

A Pack Kills Oie or Their Number for
Supposed Lying.
During one of my hunting and fish
ing excursions in Louisiana. says
writer in Forest and Stream, l was fish
ing on lake two or three miles long
and from onc-quarter to onc-half mile
wide. On one side the hill lend came
down toward the lake. leaving about
one quarter mile OF sand beach, and
while there l saw a deer running 1T the
top of its speed toward the lake, end 9
moment later q wolf appeared ~ hot
pursuit. Expecting them to pIunre in
to the lake, VIXEN I could CvCrtal:c and
kill them both in the wa Ter, kept my
place. Just before the deer reached the
water it was caught by the wolf,
which pulled it down and killed it.
Then the wolf stallIcd about, looked
around trotted off some distance, and
set up howl, went tarJncr and again
howlcd, and then into the woods, when
/ heard more bowling. The wolf being
out of sight / rowed my boat to the
place and got the deer, and then went
back to my fish hooks. Shortly there
appeared on the scene pack Of ten or
twelve wolves They shifted and moved
all around whore the deer had been
killed. These movements occupied con-
siderable time. They would huddle to-
gether, change about, and mixing up
trot around in all directions, keeping
close together. Finally they got into a.
fight, the whole pack attacked one
wolf and killed it. 1t was literally bit
and chcwcd to pieces. Now, what was
that wolf killed for? The probability is,
and J. an almost positive, that the dead
wolf was the orc that killed the deer
/ have talked to many hunters upon
this subject, and have como across but
two who had seen anything similar,
and they thought the wolf had been
killed for lying. IL it was done in the
case I s;tw for lying it was the only
time 1 ever knew wolf To be killed
wrongfully.

The Dairy.

Butter statistics are surprising.
The census returned show the euor
NOUS aggregate OF 60cFJ0O tons, ol
4. 400, 900, 900 pounds, manufactured
IN the United States in 1890; and the
quantity has probably increased
since. How much Of all this war
oleomargarine, sold under the nam'
of butter, IL is now getting little
late in the day to inquire. But ths
the returns are professediy all Of gen
uine butter, and this may be the fact
1t is said that the 1890 product in
this country would require 1,00s
freight trains of 80 cars each, and
each carrying 20 tons, to transport 1t.
Iowa seems TO be the largest butter
producer-her return, three year,
ago. being hundred million pounds
200, 600, 000), worth s2l. 00o. 600. Hi
nois stood next. with 95, 900, O0t
worth 500, 900. 600 Wisconsin's pro.
duct was 45, 900, 900 pounds, worth
%, 900, 900, and Minnesotas nearly ai
1reat-hers being worth IS, 900, 900,
while Michigans was worth 81, 500,-
900. In 1885 the assessed value Of
cows was S700, 900, 000-or more than
the capital Of all the national banks,
at that time. Incredible as it may
seem, it appears that the annual
dairy butter product Of the United
States exceeds in value that OF all OF
the lumber, wheat and iron COM
bined. That, at any rate, is the
statement of statistician who pub
fishes the results of his figuring.
Other dairy statistics, milk, cream,
and cheese. also make big Showing.

Advantages of the Fast Ocean Lines.

When a man talks of fast boat
a 2tknot boat, which means 25-
mile boat from Queenstown to Sandy Hook
the sessimist utters the word "Coalr' and
feels that no more terrible condemnation
could be uttered. The coal consumption
of the Campania is no doubt great; it has
to feed sc, 0o0 horses at full gallop for 2.s9O
knots, and the gallop will last about five
DAYS and a quarter; but, although this
means over :, 500 tons of coal for the trip,
the shorter trip means less human fuel in
the shape of fewer meals for passengers.
The quick passage is all in favor of tie
shipowner in the commissariat of the ship.
Many of the passengers became hungry
only on the fourth day, and the reduction
of the Journey from 10 to days means
something considerable in the consumption
of beef, seeing that the reduction is always
in the hungry days
The sbipowner calculates, with appalling
indifference to suffering humanity, that If
the passage could be shortened a day or two
more, some of his passengers could be land
ed Just at the time they were beginning to
think about the cook as person of conse-
quence. There is another practical view of
the case y ship that can make a voyage
to New York and back in fortnight will
earn 80 freights in the year instead of the
90 of the boats of 20 years ago. The crew
costs no more, if the coal does, and the
earnings are double.-London Saturday

At the house occupied by Mr.. George
Alexander-the ST. JameS-the act drop
charmingly represents the front OF the pal
ace from which the theater takes its name
The time depicted is the days when 3-cor-
nered hats and bob wigs were the fashion
Mr.. Toole possesses an act drop which Is es-
sentially original. 1t shows the famous
comedian, as the Don, peeping from behind
a curtain, apparently to ascertain If the
house is full The curtains at Drury Ian"
and Covent Garden represent the green
cloth of old days and are remarkable only
ON account of their size.
Perhaps, however, the curtain which may
fittingly take rank with that of the Lyceum
IS used at the new Palace Theater of Nari-
cites 1t was made for the theater when
Mr. D'Oyly Carte opened-it with Sir Arthur
Sullivan's opera, "Ivanhoe" When hang
ing the curtain looks like q magnificent
pair of golden gates. Measuring 33 feet
high by As feet wide, special room had 10
be hired for it to be made in.
The base of the curtain is gold colored
silk, on which has been worked an ap-
pliuue of a darker tone of the same color.
The applique, outlined by a fine cord of
silk, has suspended from 1t fringe with
