The Valley of aui11ota.

"Whoever,' says Charles Darwin in his Voyage of the Beagle" "called Valparaiso the valley of paradise must have been thinking of Quillota." |" Quillota is a thriving town twenty-six miles from Valparaiso in northeast erly direction. Any person, he de- clares, who sees only the country around Valparaiso, barren of vegeta- tion, would never imagine that there were such picturesque spots in Chile. AS soon as we reached the brow of the sierra the valley of Quillota was immediately under our feet. The pros pect was one of remarkable natural luxuriance The valley is very broad and quite flat and Is thus easily irri- gated in all parts. The little square gardens are crowded with orange and olive trees and every sort of vege- table"

According to Contract.

A man who was very miserly hoard ed up his stacks of hay year after year in the hope of making double the price he was offered for them. A well known hay and straw buyer in the district one day asked the price of stack. An enormous price was asked, which the buyer accepted.
 How about the terms of settle ment?" asked the old miser.
 "Well, you see," said the buyer, "my terms are to settle when I fetch the last load away"
 That's a bargain" said the miser shaping the others hand. The old chap watched every load go away ex' cept the last, and that the buyer never did fetch away.-London Standard.

The crown prince of Germany had as a child a great dislike of being washed. The emperor tried various means to cure him, and he at last hit on the right one. The young prince came running to him one day In a great rage, saying the sentry had not saluted him as he passed.
 ITO be sure" said the emperor. "l gave orders they were not to salute a dirty prince, but only clean one" The child's pride was hurt, and he took to the bath.
