VrOlit these it appears that Chili be sufferieg from an •aggravated attack of the man who has no patience with " deliberatien " and who strives to conduct the Government as he pleases, and not aa the people wish; is not the preeicling officer of a legislative body, but the President lairneelft Balmaoecla. The • South American Journal; ints review of the eituation in the early pert of the present month, states that the origin of the politi- oal troubles appear e to be that the eonsti- tution writers to much ebsolote power upon the President and places in hie hands the ahnost irreeponsible control of the whole edminieerative and electoral organ- ization. Thua the President appoints and removes at will all the incendents of the provinces and governore of departments, who in thrn appoint all the auladelegados and inspectors over districts. The chief ramie - *rate therefore, holds in hie hands the politiaal" wirea " which extend to the re- motest part of the country. Though noroinally a democratic republic'Claili heti been for years really an oligarohy, ruled over by a few aristocratic families, The president has had it in his power practically to nominate his enooessor, and tilde - arrangement has, it ie said, been carried out daring the last Biz administrations. " So long," sitys the Journal, "as The , President wee a man of teat and had the talent of acquiring popularity everything seemed to move on these lines without • exciting amela discontent, and the results have been much better, in faot, than in other South Amerioan republics where more freedom of choice existed. But Senor Balmacieda appears to be a man wanting both in conoilietory mannere and in the good eenee ntheetiery to make a atm. oessfal stetesman, so that, from a very early stage in his terra of ()face, he has alienated from himself the support of the beet and most influential men in the country." Daring the past year the greatest in- stability prevailed. The average tenure of a cabinet was two months. Incetsant variations were constantly occurring in the Parliamentary groups of both chambers. A vague and uncertain policy prevailed. In June the deputies premed a vote of • censure on the ministers, stating that their continuance in office was inimical to the intereate of the Republic. The preeidtnt and his cabinet . -gave this vote no heed, and a few dayele.ter the deputiee parsed a motion refusing per. raiesion to the Government to oolleat tbe taxes. Financial trouble ensued, there wee rioting in the provinces, and the adminis- tration celled out the troops. A compronaiee • was effected by the appointment of a " con- ciliation " ministry, and the insurrection became dormant for a time. A new electoral law was passed in August, and Balmeceda promised solemnly that he would not interfere in the electoral • aampaign. But he war afterwards die- •oovered to be engaged in an intrigue, and • it was ineinuated that he bed embezzled aome of the $4 000,000 authorized to be epent on railways. He was ceneured by a .•great mars meeting in Santiago, but he continued to maintain thia position of arrogance. Tbe ineurreotten was precipi- • Weil early in the month. Tbe rigid atm- , sorship at once established' nas prevented the arrival of details. But the ,Tournal •declares that there is no need of apprehen- sion. It is only the indignant protest of a steady and prosperous people against the unconstitutional practices of the chief •,magistrate. It is predicted that the struggle will be short and will end with the re- moval of Balmacede and the appointment of a more worthy euccessor. About Needles.

PEAS NE CLAYS AN WESra ERN Moms, Our paper has more than once deeoribed an operation that is going ou in this coma - try, and which was pretty well completed in England :more than 100 year ago, namely, the entinotion et the yeoman elms, or the conversion of small land-owning farmers into tenants. The fanner, finding the cost of what be bought advance faster than the oat of what he sold, got into debt, and steer worrying a few years with many mall creditors consolidated his debt e by placing a raortgage on his farm. When the interest on the mortgage got into arrears, and the redemption of the land appeared hopeless, he Bold out what was left of hie ownership and beoarue a tenant. That 13, we believe, a neturel and very common result of lon g.con. tinned, heavy indireot taxation. But there is another side to the story, Prof, Rodney Welch/Aye in the February Forum: " It may sound strange to Butane readers), but it is neverthelese true, that there are more farms in Illinoie, Wisoonein and Iowa that have been deserted by their owners than there are in Now Hampshire, Vermont and Massaohusetts. In the New England Statee owners leave their fermis bthause the labor spent in cultivating them is no longer remunerative, but mole is not the ease in the prairie regione of the west. There the owners of farms leave them for the reason that they oat obtain sufficient rent from tenante te- enable them to sup- port their families in towne. Cities in several of the Western States contain hundreds of retired fermere. Springfield, Ill., and Janeeville, Vane, are good exam - pies of the towns in which Onsets absentee landlords reside. These retired ferneers or absentee landlords take little intermit in keeping up good roads in the townships in wiaioh their land is situated, or in sustain. ing sehoole of a high grade. As a rule they do not even keep up the improvements on their farms or commence new one. They erect no substantial buildings, plant no orohards and vineyards, and set out no ornamental trees and shrtibe. Their berme are worked, as mines and quarries are, for the amount of marketable material they can be raade to produce. As their tenants ordinarily lease the land from year to year, they have no intereet in making improve. mente. " The result of this is the formation of a distinct peasant class, such as is found in Bayed% and Bohemia. In entire counties in Illinois and Wisconsin the English language is scarcely ever heard out. side the large towns. The church services are conducted in a foreign tongue, and in. etraotion is given in it in the sobools. The intellectual condition of the people who occupy farms is not above that of the lowest class of leborere in onr large oities. The township they inhabit SOBLE like detached portions of central Europe put down near the centre of the New World. Nominally these men may be citizens, for town politiciana have had them passed through the naturalization mill; but they know little and care leas about the institu. Cons of the country." If I Were You My Dear, I wouldn't turn my head to look after fine traoke, or impertinent naen. I wouldn't forget to sew the braid around the bottom of ray skirt, or the button on my shos.

Beecher's Bible. On the table of is friend I say? yesterday is copy of the bible which once belonged to Henry Ward Beecher and lay on the desk in that great preaoher'a study, says the New York Press. It is a small volume, and, from the inscription, had been pre- eented to him by is friend. There are two silken book -marks run through its leaves, and on the pages they eeparate are two pencil marks aroand tveo passages of scrip- ture. Nowhere else in the book are there any penoil marks about passages, and the two verses seem to have had some special attention from the eminent divine. The first is at the beginning otthe thirtyatecond psalm, as follows: Blessed is he whose transgression is forsiven, whose sin is covered. The other is the eighth verse of the thirtieth chapter of Jeremiah, and reads: For it shall come to pass in that day, smith the lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from oft thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him.

NEWEST OF MACHINA* t niacin Covers Aleetrie wires rifler Veen a Innen% nail', Providence, R. 1., rode out the latest of the importeut inveatione. The inventor le John MeCohey, is man ot noddle age and alight figure—e thorough machinist and eleotridian of kag experience- Almost every 000 who bas given any attention to the object moot have obeerved that wires for the conanotion of currents of eleatricaty (with the exception of those furnishing power to eleotrie 'street oars) are °revered with an 1m/elat- ing coating in the form of closely braided coverioge. All these coverings are laid on the wire by epinciles and bobbing, whioh go waltzing past one nether as long se the machines are run, preeisely as the children have woven the bright ribbons, for years upon the village gone, with the exaeption that the natcoleinee make no mia. t&kes, and is bobbin never passes to the wrong side of its partner. Bat while the old English, Canadian and Atnerioan machines. "made no rnistakee," they have been recognized as inadequate. They /lave not been able to spin as fine a braid as is rag aired, and they out the wire too soon. In the new machine for winding insulatiug coverings, the difficulties meutioned, as well as many minor difficulties, are aaid to have been overcome. It produces an ineulation of two and is halt one•thousandthe on is wire finer than is luimrtn hair. Great length of wire is also readily obtainable.

These machines go all over the world. The Life for a Singer. " What is the best food for is singer ?" is is question very often asked of me, and of all professional singers, writes Mme. Albani-Gye, in " The Ladies' Home Jour- nal." I reply: "The plainest food is by far the beat. Good, plain, but nourishing food ; Ler that is the best for health, and to be welt in health is to be well in voice, and good health ia absolutely neoeseary for good singing. Some few things should be entirely avoided, such as nuts, for instance, which affeat the throat as well as the diges. tion, To lead a regular life is alao abso- lutely essential, and young—and, indeed, all—artietes, if they with to excel, must give up a great many " pleasures " ; but if this, as it should do, enables the artiste to become great, then they will have their reward for all sacrifices. To be artistes, they should live as artiates—go, whenever possible, to hear and to see fine singing and fine eating; endeavor to see fine pictures, fine statues ; read clever books tenci the bit/ - gentiles of great men and great historical characters; to live in faot, in an atmos- phere ot are and of intelleot, which will help them far more than at first they may be disposed to think in their own artistic career. Curing a Cold. To get rid of a cold, says the Ladies' Home journal, send to tbe druggist for a mixture containing sulphate ot atropin one two hundred and fortieth of is grain; bi- sulphate of qainine two grains, and Fowler's solution, five drops, to each dose. Take a dose onoe in two hours for three or four times, or until the throat begin e to feel slightly dry. If this does not entirely relieve the symptom), repeat the treatment the next day. Copy this prescription care. fully, and use it with care, as some of the ingredients are poisonous. There is no danger in using it if the directione are followed exactly- Before going to bed take a, warm bath. The next morning sponge the body rapidly with tepid water, rubbing it hard until the blood circulates quickly and the akin is in is glow. Take more exercise than usual, and do not sit In is hot room with the windows phut. Mix a tea. epponful of cream of tartar in is tumbler. fel of water and drink it (hiring the day.

Hueenly Women on Skates. The girl who oan skate is the winter belle up in the northern towns and among oar Canada cousins. If she can face the elements without snuffling or weeping, and keep her ears and nose a delioate pink, while her cheeke are fairly rosy with good heart's blood, she is the girl who is voted queen by the ice princes and men. She has no lack of attention. It is so delightful to skim with her over the frozen surface of the lake that she is besieged with admirers, who vie with one another in getting her ready for a skating race. One man is proud to buckle on the sharp, bright little skates. Another is pleased to hold her wrap. And near by wait halt a dozen for the chance of escorting her to the ioe. No one rules as easily and decidedly as does the ice queen.--Bochester Herald. A New Canal in Japan. The Rioto canal, in Japan, is the work of is French engineer, Mr. -Tanabe. This canal is not only used for navigation, but it ale° irrigates the rice fields, and, still further, it supplies motive power for factories. It is about seven miles long, and is supplied from !eke Birva, which lies at an altitude of 275 feet. The water is carried through is tnonntain chain in a tunnel about is mile and is half long, whioh has been cut and faced in the best style of engineering. There are two shorter tun- nels near to Kioto, and there the new canal forma is junction with the old canal, between Rioto and the sea. The Japanese Government has taken is deep interest in the work of the Frenole engineer. Heard in Society. Detroit News: She—Who is that blend° young man with the eye -glass?
