of considerable interest to me, for there
seems to be no good reason why inteill-
gent women should not piece out their
pin money by raising them. One secret
in the marketing of fowls in any neigh

some and have the combined product suf-
ficient in quantity to market in lots so
as to obtain freight facilities.

time. At last he hedged up toward
the counter with the following re-

''I say, could one of you fellows go

repair a watch?"
why cannot the watch be brought
here?" was the reasonable reply.

the farmer. THE watch belongs to a

in the words OF Sig. Giolitti. the poor

For in Italy it is the necessarles Of
life-at least we should consider them
as such-the bread, the meat and the
sugar. which pay, while the luxuries,
though greatly taxed, too, bring in
comparatively small amount. One lux
ury, indeed. is an eption-the Ital-
ian state lottery, in which all classes
OF the community, down to the very
poorest who can scrape 20 centesimi
together. take tickets every week. A

the lotto Is optional, while the taxes

genuine discomfort arises, though here

No Photographs Go with This Story OF
Tidal Wave.


Tidal Wave.
The crew OF the British bark Banda
neira while on the shore Of Chilli, pass
ed through a frightful experience with
a tidal wave, and which, had 1t not
been for the most remarkable interven-
ton on the part of nature, would have
left the bark high and dry mile from
shore.
The Bandaneira sailed from Iquique,
March 15 She had loaded there a car
go of nitrate for the Dupont Powder
company of this city. This town is
practically the center of constant
earthquakes. An observation station is
maintained there from which warnings
are sent to masters of vessels before
they leave port. The barometer had
been low from March 10, but Capt
FAINT struck boldly out for the Horn.
During the next two days the barome-
ter dropped still lower and it was ev-
ident that fearful hurricane was
brewing. The crew besought the cap
tain to return to IQuique, but he re-
fused.
I'VE are already three days on our
way" he said, and we are all right
yet. In all probability the worst is
over now"
His assumption was wrong, however,
for at noon the following day an i'm
mense wall of water apparently nine
miles to the westward rolled down
slowly upon the bark. AS slowly she
commenced to drift toward the coast,
seven miles to the eastward.
Capt Fant's vessel is at Whining
ton now. She came up the river yester-
day, and his story is thrilling one.
Apparently the tidal wave was about
100 feet in height and had an area of
twenty miles in almost complete cir
Gle 1t advanced rapidly, but the bark,
keeping ahead, reached the shore line
first. The coast at this point was fiat
for nearly two miles inland, termina,-
ing abruptly at the base Of almost per-
pendicular mountains. Capt. FAINT is
sure that the Bandaneira approached to
within 100 yards of the rocky walls.
The pursuing volume of water was
then apparently only two miles behind.
Just at the moment when hope was
gone the bark suddenly changed her
direction and receded from her appar
emily inevitable fate.
An immense waterproof suddenly de-
veloped many miles away, and its in
huence changed the direction OF the on
rushing sea. The Bandaneira was
thrown on her beam ends and drawn
almost directly into the vortex of wa
tiers. Two hours later the sea had re
sumed its wonted aspect, leaving the
bark uninjured.
Capt FAINT is positive that great
damage must have been done the YES
sells which were directly in the track
of the great tidal wave. rhe matter
has been reported to the photographic
Office and further reports are being
awaited.
