American city. The most of the business OF

and the Panama railroad, while owned by the
French, Is still managed by Americans. In

Italians and English. The chief business
establishments of Guayaquil are In their
hands. The native Peruvians haye long
since sold their best properties out to the

own millions of dollars worth Of PERU
Wan estates. The sugar plantations are
chiefly in the hands Of the English. The
oil fields are owned by English and Italians.
The railroads and the guano beds, as well
as millions of acres Of coffee lands IN the
interior of Peru, belong to the English syn
dicate called the Peruvian Corporation,
and the silver and gold mines Of that coun-
try are owned to a large extent by for-
eigners. The native Peruvian Is either
ashamed of trade or he does not know how
to go about it. and the stores of Lima are
managed almost altogether by German,
English, Italian French and Chinese mer-
chants. In Arequipa I found that the Ger
mans did the most of the trade, although
there were several English and American
mining companies which made this their
headquarters. 1t was the same in La Paz
where there were about thirty American
miners. Thc English have a number of
the best mining properties of Bolivia. They
is more English than Spanish. / have al

of English capital is invested in the Chilean
nitrate fields, and other millions from the
same source are working some of the
mines. Southern Chile has a large colony
of Germans. and there are English and
German sheep farms in Patagonia. Both
Santiago and Valparaiso are full of Ger
man firms Many of the large estates here
which are owned by natives are managed
by foreigners, and this is so with nearly
all of the mines and other large properties
of the different countries. The railroads
of Chile and Peru We're built by English
and American engineers. and the most of
them are managed by Anglo-Saxons to-
day. In short, the real work of South
America as far as big things are concerned
is now in the hands of foreigners, and
even here in Chile the natives who are
wealthy are chiefly so from the vast estates
which they have inherited from their an
cestors They own also valuable mines,
but only the fewest of them are rich as a
result of their individual efforts.

And still the Chileans are by far the

Expression to Affection.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is such a happy thing to be assured of
love and devotion. The half of us go

for us can guess just how deep is our o.
probation Of them without our rut&!:i.g in

heart-cheering just because of this. "If l

none of US are 1frdifferent to what Is

Our Opinion Exactly.

From Harper's Bazaar.
An artist who has just finished visit to
this country is quoted as saying that we do
not, as q people, do justice to the beauty

especially in matters pertaining to the dress
and department of the women. stand"

blood and breeding. Their costumes. Of
course, are such as come within their
means and it is just here that their good
taste is shown. Give an American girl
straw hat and a shirt waist, with necktie
and belt to match, and she steps out on the

dressed as her more favored sisters, and,
what is more remarkable, in infinitely bet

her class in any quarter OF the globe of

The French girl, he further maintained,

the city is made up of business blocks

Paraiso is BEAUTIFULLY situated. 1t has a bay
of the shape OF a half moon which is large
enough to float the ships of the world.
Around this bay there is an amphitheater
of great hills. which rises almost straight
up from the edge of the water and which
forms the site of the city. The business

dollars worth of property now standing
where generation ago there was nothing
but water The wharves of Valparaiso are
walled with stone and iron rails TO keep
back the water. and the reclaimed land is
such that there are three or four business
streets which run about the bay between
the water and the foot of the hills. Com

Dromedaries Smoke Tobacco.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Dromedaries are said to be particularly
fond of tobacco smoke, and can be made
to do almost anything while under its in
fusnce. Travellers, it is asserted. rely more
on their tobacco smoke for their control
over these huge beasts than anything else.
When travelling on long journeys the drom-
edaries are in many cases required to
travel night and day without rest, and they
are kept up to their task by smoking
cigars. The driver carries a triangular
piece of wood. which is pierced at one
point like cigarholdsr. This is inserted
N the mouth of the animal, the cigar being
lit and pressed into the hole. The drome-
dary closes its eyes and puffs away through
its nostrils until the cigar is burned away
The indulgence appears to refresh it, and
