Monday for soberlng Up.

Monday is a dies non in Chilli. writes
a correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord. People have learned by long OK
perience that they can expect little
from their servants and employees on
that day. They call it San Lunes"-
sobering-up day. a manufacturer goes
to his shop Monday morning to find
that only a few of his hands have
reported for duty, and even they are
in a seedy condition. In some estab-
lishments, in places where labor is
plenty, the hands who are absent on
Monday get no work during the week,
but this rule cannot be applied in most
of the cities, because labor is so scarce
that employers are at the mercy OF
their help, and are compelled to tolsr-
ate their delinquencies. The mistress
of a household allows her servants q
Sunday off in turn, but seldom expects
them to report for duty on Monday,
and is never surprised TO receive a
message from the police station. Car
penters, masons and other mechanics
seldom work more than five days in a
week, for the reasons have given,
and there is a proverb that the shoe
shops are never open on Monday. The
same customs attend the celebration
of legal holidays, and it requires five
days for the people of Chilli to express
the patriotic emotions inspired by the
"Diez Y Ocho de Setiembre 18th
of September--or the daisy ocho," as
it is Familiarity called-the anniversary
of CHILEAN independence. Everybody
prepares for it. Houses are freshly
painted, fagpoles are raised over every
roof, bonfres burn on the surrounding
mountains, festas are held in every
park and plaza, special masses are
sung in the churches, all the banks
business houses and manufacturing es-
adjustments are closed, schools are
dismissed, labor is suspended on all the
plantations, and everybody, young and
Old great and small, engages in the
festivities with a zeal and enthusiasm
that is seldom seen elsewhere.

To the two hundred apostles and
students at Shiloh Miss Mills has re-
lated this story in detail, standing be-
fore them in the temple at one of the
regular services of the day. Nearly
all the inmates of Shiloh have talked
with her and have heard her wonder

River 1. Forever Singing.

From the Portland Telegram: There
is something peculiar about the Yukon
river that have never heard of in con-
nection with any other stream" said
Captain Gray, who has recently been
running boats on the big Alaska ar
terry. From the mouth of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable
water the stream is constantly sing
ing. No matter where you are, there
is sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
gines. But when we we're tide up at
night, with everything cold. the sound
was the same. have puzzled my brain
to find an explanation OF the phenom-
enon, but without avail. The singing
goes on, day and night. When you got
upstream some distance You can also
hear the rocks rolling over the bed of
the river, and this produces most pe-
culiar sound"

Irish SuperstItlons.

From Blackwood's Magazine: On
Inishkea a particular family handed
down from father to son q stone called
the Ne-ogue probably part of some
image, with which the owners used to
make the weather to their liking. One
day a party of tourists visited Inish-
kea, heard of the Ne-ogue, saw it, and
wrote about it in the papers. The
priest, in whose parish Inishkea lay
either had not known of this survival
of paganism or thought that no one
else knew of it, but when the thing
was made public he decided to act.
So he visited the island, took the Ne
ogue and broke it up into tiny frag-
ments and scattered them to the four
winds. The priest was sacrosanct, but
the islanders vowed vengeance, and an
unfortunate man of science who had
lived some time among them was
pitched upon as certainly the person
who had made the story public. This
man after some time returned to COM
plete his investigations at Inishkea,
and was warned Of danger; but he
laughed at the idea, and said the peo-
pie were his very good friends, as, in
deed, they had been. However, he was
hardly out of the boat before they fell
upon him and beat him so that he
never completely ecovered-indeed,
died in consequence of his injuries
some years later. Probably like fate
would befall any one who touched the
cursing stone on Tory, which was
turned on" the Wasp gunboat after
she brought a posse of bailiffs there
to levy county cess; and, as every one
knows, the Wasp ran on Tory and
lost every soul on board. Only the
other day 1 heard that a fish buyer
stationed there displeased the people;
the owner of the stone turned it on
him." and a month after the buyers
wife committed suicide.

Evangelist Sanford took from his
pocket several closely written sheets.
The statement is as follows:

Shiloh, but | was not very much wor-
ried at first. Then | grew worse. The
elders at Shiloh prayed with me, but

HOME LIFE OF CoNsUELo.

was written to celebrate the valorous

Commercial Advertiser. Her grace
Consuelo is a devoted mother, and her
two boys occupy the most charming
suite of rooms in the palace of Blen-

kidnappers, and on SHOW days." when
the palace is open to the public, they
are wheeled about the kitchen gardens
in their blue and white perambula-
tors. On other days their nurses take
them for long jaunts in the $50 acres
of private grounds which surround the
palace, and to the various schools and
institutions of which the young
duchess is patroness. The Woodstock

helm. Hitherto the red flannel gar
ments worn by the women inmates of
the almshouse had measured three
yards round. Consuelo heard that new
clothing would not be despised by the
paupers, and she had ten pettieoats
made. Five and a half yards of fan
mel were used in each garment.

B0ER WAR MAY BE OVER.
Our Military Attachc Given Permits
sion to LemVe TrnnsVnAI.

Washington, Sept 12.-The following
dispatch has been received by the war
department from the United States officer
who accompanied the Beers in their cam
puigns as military observer:
"LOurenco Marques, Sept. 11.-E,vents
have required tha departure Of the at
taohcs from the Transvaal. Request in
stlWctions. KEICIiAANN.'
This message is interpreted at the de-
plrtment to mean the complete collapse
Of the Bocr resistance 10 England. Cap
tain Reichmann has been cablcd permis-
sion to start at once for the United
States.
a dispatch from London says:
The flight of President Kruger from
what is now designated as the Naal Rv-
er colony and his arrival mt Lourenco
Marques is regarded here as indicative of
an early end of the hostilities in South
Africa. Another message from Lourenco
Marques says the Transvaal state off
cials accompanied President Kruger into
Portuguese territory.
Significant also, though it is still un-
confirmed, is the announcement that Gen
eral Botha, the Boer commander in chief,
is making overtures to surrender, and the
question whether the burghers will now
follow the usual course of beaten armies
and lay down their arms or formally de-
clare in favor of guerrilla warfare must
be speedily settled. 1t is, however, be-
lieved here that President Kruger's ac
tion deprives the Beers of their main
pretext for remaining in the field.
"The British war Office has issued
long report from Lord Roberts ON the
treatment of British prisoners of war at
Pretoria, founded on the report of the
court of inquiry. Briefly Lord Roberts
declares that the treatment of the officers
was fair, but that the food of the men
was quite inadequate and of an inferior

In every direction in crossing the bay
they saw the feet of corpses sticking out
