AGRICULTURE IN CHILI. A VISIT TO A TYPICAL FARM IN THAT COUNTRY. Ponderous Muil Fences—Overseers and. Peons—The Day's Wort— Primitive Mode ot Threshing. Writing from Santiago do Chile, Fan nie 11. Ward says iu the Washington Star: Wo journeyed due sou f .h 100 miles— mostly by rail—to visit a model hacien da, for the express purpose of being able to tell you how the typical Chilian farm is conducted. The estate in question is owned by a gentleman formerly from New England, who, as his name will show, belongs to an exceedingly numer ous aud highly respectable family of the United States—Mr. William llanry Smith; but, being married to a Chilena, it is here remit red Senor Don Guillermo Henrique Ferrerio. Speaking of the nomenclature, the most common and cold-blooded of our northern titles become positively melli fluous when translated into this poetic language. For example: Our neighbor over the way—at home Mr. John James Tinker—is addressed as Senor Don Juan Santiago Latinero. Plebian William be comes Guillermo; Henry, Ucurique; Charles, Carlo; Ned, Eduardo; Jim, Santiago; Peter, Pedro; Dick, Kicardo, aud so onto the end of the chapter. Senor Smith's estato comprises 500 acres, all inclosed within one fence, and so ponderous is the latter—being ten feet high, three feet thick aud roofed like a house—that it reminds one of the great wall of Chiua. Hails are never used iu this country for fencing, except in the far south, where timber is plenty. Stones aro sometimes piled up into walls, but always in combination with lime and sand, making them solid. Those that are universal in Chili look strong enough to defy tho tooth of old Father Time for centuries and as pictur esque as indestructible. This of our friend Ferreiro is a fair sample. It is made of mud—a cheap and common ar ticle—which has been molded into huge squares and dried in the sun. The huge abodes were then piled iuto place, and while yet moist earthen ware tiling im bedded in the top—of a rusty-red color, like that which roofs the houses. The object of roofing the wall is to prevent the long-continued, heavy rains of win ter from soaking into the bricks aud re ducing them again to mud. Like most gentleman farmers iu Chili, Don William Henry does not live on his country estate, but in the city, coming out once a month or so to see how things are going, and bringing his family for a few weeks in summer time. But there is an administrador de hacienda, a "sub administrator," several overseers aud more than one hundred peons. Farming is carried on in this country much the same as it was in Europe in feudal times or as iu Ireland to-day, each estate hav ing its retainers, who are provided with tenements, for which they pay by a stip ulated number of days' labor every year. As there is hardly any middle class in Chili—only the rich and the poor, the landlord aud the tenant—the haciendas aro generally very large and are owned by nabobs who seldom visit them. Each has its big, rambling casa, wherein the administradors and their families reside, a chapel, a commissary depot, granaries, store houses, wine vaults and a number of little cottages, surrounded by garden patches, where the peons live. The lat ter are paid for their labor, generally not in money, but in orders on the supply store, where, at prices optional with the administradors, food, clothing, chicha and rum are sold. Tenants are usually given small credits at these stores and arc forever in debt to their landlords. As the iaw prohibits their leaving the service of a man to whom they owe money, they are thus kept in perpetual slavery. When the men assemble in the morning at the tap of the sunrise bell an overseer writes each one's name in a con venient place, aud when the day's work is faithfully done puts a mark besido his name. At the end of the week the marks are counted and each man receives his pay according to the score. As a rule, haciendados and peons get along well enough together, and the servant will fight for the master to the last drop of blood in his body. As in the old world centuries ago, fedal wars arc kept up between estates through so many genera tions that the original provocation is entirely forgotten, and sanguinary con flicts are constantly occurring, far the peons of the Capulets is always more than willing to cut the throat of servant of the Montagues. As on other haciendas, Senor Ferrc iro's tenants begin work at 6 A. M., hav ing previously eaten a desayuno of bread and coffee. Then each goes off to that part of the estate which is to be tho scene of his day's labor, carrying with him a cow's horn of water and a small bag of meal. These are his rations for : the midday breakfast, and not another mouthful will he get for twelve long hours, until ho returns to dine at 6 p. M. The meal is of roasted wheat, ground on the small hand-mill with which every hacienda is provided. We saw the men ( at their sunset dinner, and a more contented and healthy-looking lot could hardly bo imagined—crowded around a table of rough boards without . any cloth upon it. The repast consisted entirely of beans and peas stewed fr>- ' gether, but the administrador informed mo with pride that all the laborers on this model farm are treated to meat and potatoes twice every week. We went out into tho wheat fields on a cart, topped by a very high and nar row hay rick made of cane poles lashed together with thongs, drawn by bullocks. The cart was driven to a place where the cut sheaves were thickest, the cattle were taken from the tongue and tied to a wheel, and the work of gathering commenced. Each man seized a bundle and carried it to the cart, until all the near-by sheaves were loaded. It did not occur to anybody to make the bul locks remove the cart to another part of the field; bundles were still laboriously carried to the same place, however the distance lengthened and the noontide heat increased and perspiration streamed down each swarthy face. When the enormous load was complete it -was hauled to the threshing yard, where the wheat was carelessly dumped in heaps without the trouble of stacking it, for here it rarely rains during the summer months, so there is little danger of the grain spoiling. Meanwhile thresh ing was going on, slowly but surely. A spot of hard ground had been swept, and upon it were pitched a few bundles; then horses were driven over and over them until the wheat was shelled from the straw. The straw was then removed, the wheat raked to the center and more bundles thrown down. When a consid erable quantity of shelled wheat was col lected a wind mill was introduced to blow away the chaff. No wheat could be of better quality. The plump, sound grains were fully one fourth of an inch long, and I was told that an average yield here is twenty bushels to the acre. The corn crop is smaller, because the seasons are too cold. Oats return about sixty bushels to the acre, but, unfortunately, there is no market for them. Orange 3, lemons, figs, peaches, apples, pears, grapes, melons, etc., are always a sure crop, because— though the summers of Chili are seldom warm enough to make thin clothing nec essary, there is never frost enough in winter to kill the flowers. All kinds of vegetables thrive remarkably, and when ever a native plants beets he ties a knot in the end of each growing plant to pre vent i* from running beyond reasonable bounds. The plows in general use are primi tive implements—a beam, with one long stout handle extending far euough donward to attach a flat piece of iron which has been hammered sharp on a stone. Of course with such a rude machine the earth can barely )"* scratched. Wheat is sown broadcast aud covered by dragging "it over with a weighted plank. Corn land is furrowed into rows, in one direction. Holes aro made at regular intervals in the rows with sharpened sticks, into which the corn is dropped and then covered with the foot. The hoes are about fourteen inches high by five inches wide, and each weighs not less than eight pounds. Every well-regulated hacienda has its vineyard and that of Senor Smith in cludes 100 acres. The crop is always abundant and tho grapes sell in market for about one cent per pound. They make good raisins as well as wine. A superior quality of the latter costs about eight cents per quart, but is too new to be desired by anybody but Chilians. Every native, old or young, drink wine at all timcj of the day and nig'ut, at meals and between meals. He may not afford a more luxurious dinner than com mon puchero (which is composed of all the seeds and vegetables the cook can lay hauds on, boiled with a bit of beef or bacon and flavored, if possiblo, with a few links of sausage), but he must wash it down with a glass or two of wine, and so must his wife and children. The most interesting time of day on the Ferreiro estate is toward sunset, af ter the G o'clock dinner is done. First there are upward of 200 cows to be at tended to, which are driven into the corral and milked by tho women. Tho tawny, bare-footed milkmaids take no chanehes on being kicked, for every cow, however gentle, has her legs firm ly tied to stakes before the milking be gins. Cattle raising must be profitable in Chili. A cow, comparing favorably with our Texas and Colorado cattle, sells hero for about S4O, and a steer brings from S6O to sloo—high prices consid ering that shelter is not necessary and abundance of grass grows throughout the year. The milk is made into an ex cellent quality of butter and cheese, all for export at good prices, as the north ern half of the country, as well as Peru and Bolivia, depend entirely upon south ern Chili for their supplies. WISE WORDS. Men arc what their mothers make them. Live with wolves and you will learn to howl. The first blue-bird is the one we no tice most. The dandelions are the spun gold of spring-time. Open defeat is better than under handed victory. Some men are balloonists by profes sion; others by inflation. A hundred petty virtues are not worth one genuine heart-touch. The most insupportable company are those who are witty all day long. Memory is the only paradise out of which we cannot be driven away. Siuce the days of Adam there has been hardly a mischief done in this world but a woman has been at the bottom of it. Lifo is a chance in the lottery of death; your chance is sure, but whether it is a blank or not dcjiends largely on your self. Politeness has been compared to an air-cushion, which, although there is ap parently nothing in it, eases our jolts wonderfully. When tho snow fell ho wished to mow my lawn; when the sunlight made my grass grow he was a snow-shovclcr by profession; by genius he was a tramp. A Sniff Saved Him. During some recent experiments at Chatham, England, a sapper was found unconscious in tho folds of a half-empty war balloon. The man's pulseless heart led many persons to think him dead, but Colonel lleury Elsdale, of tho lioyal British Engineers, bethought him of some compressed oxygen that had stored in tubes for the oxyhydrogen light. This pure oxygen was pumped into the sapper's lungs, and ho instantly recovered.— Philadelphia lteeord. Iced buttermilk is the drink just now of swell .Now Yorker*. ! Biggest Depot In the World. Contemporaneous with the reconstruc tion of Broadway, New York City, is the erection on that ancient Indian trail and modern highway of civilization the largest and finest railroad depot in the world. It will occupy the west aide of Broadway between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-ninth streets, and will extend back across Seventh avenue to Eighth avenue, being 400 feet frontage on Broadway and 1300 feet deep, and so ar ranged as not to obstruct any thorough fare, as the floor of the depot will be twenty feet above the street. On Broad way the building will be seven stories high for office accommodation. This gigantic depot is intended to accommo date the New York and New Jersey Bridge Company, which is about to build an eight-track bridge across the Hudson. Recent circulations show that 750 pas senger trains will cross the river by the bridge at Seventy-first street during twenty-four hours, which is more than thirty trains an hour. The New Jersey promoters of the scheme will unite with the New York corpoiation, and as the needed $1,000,000 in cash has been pro vided the actual work of construction will begiu in the fall. The four blocks in question are mainly occupied by cheap structures of a past era.—Phila delphia Record. Colds Catching. "Don't come near me, I have a cold." If cold,' are not "catching," as folk say, how has this come to be a form of ex pression familiar in so many households? Dr. Richardson propounds this problem, but he frankly confesses that he is utmbic to solve the question. Sometimes l.e has been inclined to think that colds in a house spread by a kind of sytnpithy. Against this, however, as against ordin ary contagion, there is the argument that all affected may be at the timj un der one and the same influence. So it stands now in respect to influenza. One day Dr. Richardson is called to a house to find several persons suffering with this disease, and the history supplied is that otie of sufferers having contracted the affection many miles away, where it was prevailing, brought it home with iiru. He then goes to another house to fijil a large establishment with every meaber of it free from the affection except one, who has never been exposed, who has never even left the house, and who atone is suffering severely. Unfortunatly, this expert in pathology is driven to conclude with the questions: "Where lies the truth? "What is coincidence, and what is cause in relation to the phcnomenojJ" Tendon, News. "Death of a Thousand Cats." " 'The Death of a Thousand Cuts,' of which we have all rer.d in some vajue story of the secret atrocities of the East," said George Trimble Davidson, "is by no means the hideous unreality I fancied it. While in Tacoma recently I vas enabled to secure with considerable dif ficulty a photograph made instantaie- | ously by an Englishman who in disguise succeeded iu being present at the execu tion 'by the thousand cuts' of a mandarin who had been guilty of tie crime of lese majeste. Being discovered, the daring photographer had to run for his life, but not until he had taken views of the writhing victim iu the course! of the administration of the thousand slashes with sharp swords by which hs was tortured, and indeed dismembered, while life and couseiout-ness yet re mained!"— New York Times. Antidote for a Great Pest. A Natal (South Africa) man announces that lie has discovered an absolute rem edy or antidote for the bite of the tsetse fly, and is so coulideut of the virtue of his specific that he has accepted a con tract to transport Portuguese military stores ou the backs of bullocks through the districts infested by this pest. The importance of such a discovery could scarcely be overestimated, for the tsetse has proved a hitherto insurmountable obstacle to the settlement of vast aud fertile regions. The fly is a small insect, harmless toman, large game, goats,etc., but deadly to horses, oxen, dogs and donkeys. Its bite proves fatal in a few days, and a post-mortem examination re veals extrm rdinary changes in the body of the victim. One of the most remark able effects is seen iu the blood, which loses consistency and color. Without oxen or cattle, trade and agiiculture have been impossible, and this appar ently insignificant fly, which has cut so great a figure iu the history of African exploration, has been left in almost un disputed possessiou of its territories.

A lady entered a railway station in England with a turtle, and the railway porter went to headquarters to ascertain how much fare ho must collect for the turtle. On returning ho announced to tho lady the company's classification of animals for charges: "Cat? is dogs and rabbits is dogs, but this ere tortus is a hinsect, and we make no charge for hinsects." The lady was no doubt quite satisfied to have her pot declared a hin sect seeing that "hinsects" were not subject to any charge for passage. This amusing railroad classification is recalled by an item of news in our Week's Index concerning two French aeronauts who were detained at the Bargo Office in this city until the immigrant inspector could decide whether ballooning was an art or a trade. After consulting his authori ties tho inspector decided that the aero nauts were professors, and could not therefore be burred out under the con tract labor law. The inspector's decis ion is about as near the tr uth as was that of the railway man.— New York Witness. A Cow's Mother-Love Betrays Her Calf. Iu a pasture on a farm in East Hart ford, recently, one of tho cows had a calf which 110 one of the farm hands was able to find tho day after its birth. A search proved a failure until some one suggested a novel scheme. It was to bring a dog into the lot, when, in all probability, the cow would return to her calf to defend it. The dog was brought, and sure enough, the cow sturted for a clump of bushes; and among them the calf was found, where the leaves had con cealed it.— Hart fort (Conn.) Courant. A §4,000,000 Bridge.
