Consul Warner writes from Leipzig:
The following is the substance Of an
article which recently appeared in the
Leipziger Tageblat+: Tho amount of
condensed milk imported into Chile
averages about 100000 pounds annu-
ally, most Of which is furnished by
Great Britain and Germany. The milk
Is packed in cans. 1 dozen cans to a
box, each can weighing fraction over
a pound. The condensed milk import
ed from England is designated and
known to the trade as English. /"
while that from Germany is known as
"Swiss." Here is another product
which England and Germany are ex-
porting to Chile, the United States be-
ing in no way competitor. Why is It
that these two countries can sell their
products in the markets Of Chile.
which are so much nearer our own
country in point of distance? The
question is easily answered: Their
commercial marine gives them this
advantage over us. When the day

men and exiles from things feminine,
"if you would have her love you!"
Those men achieve such heights of
wisdom because they know mules and
bell-mares.
The lady of the herd carries no loads.
The packer in the advance leads her
and by virtue of her heartlessness she
keeps the whole herd in her train. If
| it were not for her the packers could
not keep the mules together, for their
heads are free from halter or bride
when on the trail. A bell is strapped
around her neck, and ip the dark the
mules of train follow the sound and
are satisfied. Where the bell is there
is also peace in the herd; when the
bell is silent, the mules undertake to
learn the reason, and in frenzied
search they cover vasts tracts of ter
ritory in all directions, which is ma
turally bothersome for the packers.
My head was full of the marvel Of
all these things that night in Alphon-
so. l saw one of the big beasts in. a
careless fit of affection, place his head
too near the heels of the belle. She
used her heels as usual and landed
heavily. For a second the mule was
blinded, staggered, then (oh, the
shame, the crime of it!) he forgot
himself and kicked back at the lady!I
believe he was bruised for life by the
rest, before he got out of the herd.
Tiny fires dotted the outskirts of
the plaza now, and the glorious smell
Of bacon and hardtack was in the air
1t was a glorious smell, but 1t mad
dened me. I was quite stranger to
the infantry battalions, having hyked
for the first time with them that day.
And I had no rations! You who have
never been in similar condition, are
wholly strangers to the keen, ragged
edge of the word suffering. Suddenly
brilliant thought came to me. I
went over to the cook of the pack
train. who had big fire started.
please, SIR said eagerly, cant
get you another pail of water?" He
sized me up for moment, feeling the
edge of a butcher knife. Then he
kicked an empty bucket in my direc-
tion and said:
"Bust yourself!"
turned with the water and became
very busy poking the fire, washing the
coffee-pot and keeping out Of the
cooks way. Suddenly he seemed to
warm to me.
"Who in h are you? he asked
kindly. exclaimed briefly and added.
deeming it wise to be honest, that I
had lost pony the day before, that I
didn't know the infantry outfit In
town, that was hungrier than the
she-wolf of the Scriptures. In con-
clusion asked hastily:
"Will I get some more water!'

| ings in some of these places, they will
tell you, and viIlainous whisky in all.
In the desirable things of civilization
in the soft wiles of fair women, they
are as little children; but If you are a
white man and need friend, dollar
square meal, or all three, these pack
ers will growl at you, give it to you,
and tell you to call again. And you
who would write books, procure jug
of good whisky if possible, but whisky
at all events, strike packers camp at
night, when the mules are quiet over
their forage, and you will hear tales
with the color Of all lands, and the
heart beats of rugged manhood And
do not forget to take the jug out to
the lonely fellow whose trick it is to
guard the herd that night, for he will
not forget you if you fail to remember
him. :.
But I was writing about that night
at Alphonso. AS each heavy pack was
removed from the back of mule, the
swearing animal moved out of line,
shook himself with many satisfied
grunts, and then sank down noisily up
on the turf of the plaza to scratch his
numb and itching back in the only way
he knew. This process was performed
with many grunts of intense pleasure,
and even after the killing day under
the packs, there was a gentle coltish
kicking in the herd when the rolling
was over. After rolling the mules
gathered together about the bell-mare
and raised their voices in mighty mag
nitude to the moon, demanding the
water and forage for which they had
worked hard all day. Oh, the din of
that midnight chorus! One would
think that big chain of mountains
were dying with sins unforgiven. And
the bell-mare in the midst of her noisy
adorers, kept up coquettish and In
cessant kicking and biting. This is
why she is loved so and sought after,
the packers will tell you.
This lady Of the herd is very impor-
tant, and her knowledge of the fact is
apparent. She must have the temper
of Jezebel and the icy soul Of Phil
! ippino female to hold her ascendency.
| Should she warm a little toward some
great shaggy head, which bends near
her adoringly, there would be scandal
in the herd, and the bell-mare and her
favored one would be kicked out of
business promptly. But so long as she
kicks and squeals impartially toward
all, the great stupid burden bearers
follow whittier she leads.

WINKlNG HAS USES.
What the Twltchins of the Eyelid s1ea

to Man of Science.
No satisfactory determination has
been made of the reason we wink.
Some suppose that the descent and re-
turn of the lid over the eye serves to
sweep or wash it off; others that COW
ering of the eye gives it a rest from
the labor of vision, if only for an in
appreciable instant. This view bor-
rows some force from the fact that the
record of winking is considerably used
by experimental psychologists to help
measure the fatigue which the eye suf-
fers. In another line of investigation
S. Garten has attempted to measure
the length of time occupied by the
different phases Of wink. He used a
specially arranged Photographic APP
paratus and affixed piece of white pa
per to the edge Of the eyelid for
mark. He found that the lid descends
quickly and rests little at the bottom
of its movement. after which it rises,
but more slowly than it fell. The
mean duration of the downward move
ment was from seventy-flve to ninety
one thousandths Of a second; the rest
with the eye shut lasted variously, the
shortest durations being fifteen hum
dredths of second with one subject
and seventeen hundredths with anoth-
er, and the third phase of the wink,
the rising Of the lid, took seventeen
hundredths of second more, making
the entire duration Of the wink about
forty hundredths, or four-tenths Of a
second. The interruption is not long
enough to interfere with distinct vi.
sion. v. Henri says. in L'Annee
Psychologique, that different persons
wink differently-some often, others
rarely; some in groups Of ten or so at
a time, when they rest a while, and
others regularly, once only at time.
The movement is modified by the de-
gree Of attention. Periods Of close in
terest, when we wink hardly at all,
may be followed by a speedy making
up for lost time by rapid winking when
the tension is relieved.

Notified Butter.

The Maryland Experiment Station
in its investigations as to the cause of
notifies in butter came to the follow
ing conclusions:
1. The uneven distribution Of salt is
the cause Of unevenly colored butter
spoken Of as mottled butter.
2. Washing the butter with water
below 40 degrees does not cause mot
ties. It does, however, make little
more working necessary to thorough
ly distribute the salt.
3. The light colored streaks or por-
tions of mottled butter are not caused
by an excess of casein. but mottles are
evidently caused by some physical ac-
ton of salt on the butterfat which
causes it to admit more light.
1. Notifies can be prevented by work.
ing the butter sufficiently to thorough
ly distribute the salt.
s. Butter washed with water at 40
degrees and under and worked imme-
diately shows better grain when suf-
Hciently worked to insure its being
evenly colored than with any other
treatment.
6. Washing butter with water at 40
degrees and under does not in1ure it's
firmness when subjected to high tenn
perature.

uses Of Torpedo-Boats.d

Recent experiments with torpedo
boats OF Portsmouth, England, have
tended to confirm the general opinion
in naval circles that vessels of this
class would be of little practical use in
a great naval engagement, whatever
their value in scouting and skirmish-
ing. It was found impossible to ap-
proach a fortified post nearer than two
miles without discovery. even when
speed was SO reduced that no smoke
escaped unconsumed from the tunnels
Of the torpedo-boats. At this range
any unarmored craft would be speed
