During the last session of the Cali¬
fornia Legislature, a law wa3 passed
miking it the duty of the Country Board
»f Horticultural Commissioners to m-
ipect orchards, nurseries, or other places
in. their jurisdiction where they shall
ieem it necessary. By said law it is
ilso their duty, if such localities are
found infested with the scale insect,
the codlin moth, or other pests injuri¬
ous to plants or trees, to notify tne
owner of such n fact, and they sha 1 !
request such owner to eradicate or ue-
itroy the said pest9 widiia a time speci-
aid.
The total fleet of Chile, including
transports and all types, wood and coiu-
jwsifce, numbers thirty-four; but. except¬
ing the Magellanes and O’Higgins, the
Eghting wooden ships, says Harper’s
Woekly, are nearly all “lame ducks,” as
the sailors phrase it. We have certainly
Ifteen effective wooden ships, including
Ibe two frigates Pensacola and Lancaster,
which are in every way better built an l
squipped than any Chile could send
Igaiust them; and as a reserve, on both
wasts, a large fleet of merchant-vessels,
from which* blockaders, fighting, des¬
patch, transport and torpedo vessels of
iu excellent character could be drawn.
Dr. Lcslio E. Keeley, who has eu
raged in reforming drunkards by the bi-
jhlorido gold cure, annouces that he has
liscovered a specific-for the grip. He
»ays.; “Assiiioetula, m do->es oi sixteen
grains adminstcrcd four times a day,will
•nmplctcly break up the worst case of
trip at any stage of its developement.”
kssafcctida is very common and easy t<
procure, observes the New Tork lade-
pendent, and the value of Dr. Keeley's
recommendation can !»■ very quickly
tested. If it should prove to be a sure
cure he will be entitled to the gratitude
of the world, at least of that large par
pfliie world which has been subject tc
disease.

introduced into China, a contract with
an En dish firm haviug been made foi
thc supply 77 of a complete \ Bessemer plant, * ’
n with .
to include , two five-ten conveners n
cupolas, blowing engines, cranes and
other machinery. The contract also in¬
cludes the supply of the machinery tor a
large rail mill, a plate mill, a bar mill,
twenty paddling furnaces, and two blast
furnaces of the Cleveland type,the whole
being for an output of 100 tons of pig-
iron daily. Those works are to be located

The fire losses iu the United States
md Canada ia the year 1891 aggregated
the enormous sum of $137,716,150, the
heaviest annual losses by tire which the
ccjjintry has sustained since 1872, the
fear of the great Boston fire, The loss
by that conflagration alone was $80,000,-
D00, while the loss by, the Chicago lire
In 1871 was upward of $200,000,000.
With the exception ot the two years,
1871 and 1872, there has not been a
fea’r in the history of the country when
tlie destruction of property by lire has
been as great as in the year just closed.
This does not speak well for the im¬
provements that have been made in fire¬
proof construction, the provision of fire
mnuficiators and automatic extinguish¬
ing apparatus, and the enormous annual
tutiay by the great cities for the in-
rceased equipment and efficiency of fire
iepartments. There is evidently “a
screw loose” somewhere outside of the
fire plugs.

Tiie Women Are Beautiful and the
Men Quarrelsome—Scenes in the
I wo Leading Cities.
"T"TS I native term is Ghilo. It is along
trip of arable land stretching from
I the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. Its
^ width varies from forty miles to 200.
Its length of coast line from the Rio
Za™ to Cape Hoea ia 3800 miles. The
ciimato is delightful, ease for «, ocea-
aional earthquake, which is usually
followed by copious rains. Thu people
are descendants of Spaniards and speak
the Spanish dialect tongue. Santiago is
the capital city but divides honors with
Valparaiso.
The Chillanos are proud and passion¬
ate, fond of picking quarrels with their
neighbors, with an overplus of ligating
propensities and ready at any moment to
try their steel with an adversary. Like
all Spaniards, they are haughty and aris¬
tocratic, prefenng tire spoilage of war to
the advocations of peace. For this rea¬
son they submit amicably to the invasiou
of English residents, who introduce all
the elements ot modern civilization into
a country which, but for that, would
still be a semi-barbaric state of opulent
splendor.
It is unfortunate that Chile should
have early contracted a prejudice against
the United States—unfortunate for her¬
self, as she suffered more from her re¬
fusal to trade with us, than we do from
the loss of her commerce, which she di¬
verts by every means in her power to
foreign nations across the Atlantic.
By a law of 1387 the strength of the
Chilean standing army was limited to
5835 men. Besides the regular army
there is a National Guard composed of
citizens. These number 43,53d men.
The ranks of both the National Guard
aud the regular army are spee lily re¬
cruited, iu time of war, by enforced or
voluntary enlistments.
Santiago, the capital of Chile, is sit¬
uated on the River Mapocho, m the cen-
tre of a large plain, surrounded by hills
and commanding a view of the magaia-
cent peaks of the Andes in the distance,
including the high mountain of Acon¬
cagua, which is visible its entire dis-
tance. Like Valparaiso, with which it
is connected by a tive-hour railroad ride,
it i3 a city of luxury and elegance, with
picturesque surroundings. Tne climate
being mild, like that of Washington, D.
C., the people do without fires and sit
and shiver in luxury, having an idea that
fire and warmth will produce sickness.
The English and American residents pro¬
vide themselves with comfortable tires.
but the Chillano affects to despise arti¬
ficial heat, although he wraps himself in
warm clothes and rugs, aud tries to keep
warm in that way. Foot-warmers are
used and carried about from room to

There is a novel method of ^ shopping em-
ployed. The stores open at te i in the
morning, and close at five iu the after-
noon for an hour or more. Tacn they

the splendor of laces and jewels. Tne

compliment. There is nothing serioui
abouc the sho PP in ?» a3 ifc ia oue of the
amusements ot the city, and tne shops
are a proper aDd favorite rengfczvous tor
ladies and gay cavaliers, the Senoras and
Dons of Chile. The ladies make splen-
did toilets lor shopping and for the
theater, but for church they wear black

The i Chileau f t ,. is 1 dhcarde devotee ^ carries . her prayer-
rug with her to church and kneels on it,
a comfortable and luxurious penitent. As
there are no pews and the stone floors
of the churches are both cold and damp,
ber caution is necessary.
Everything to be found in Paris or
New Fork can be obtained in Santiago,
There axe fine carriages anca fashionable
drives. There is an abundance of money
among the aristocratic residents of the
city and they spend it with luxurious
abandon.
The popular drive of the city is the
Alameda, which has a fashionable pro m-
suade between rows of poplar trees; a
driveway on either side one hundred feet
inside, and which extends the entire
length of the city, four or five miles.
Here are statues to the brave men of
Chile, in either bronze or marble, and
military bands assist in making the scene
lively during the afternoon and evening.
The ladies of Chile are beautiful and
know how *G make the most of their
charms by dressing in luxurious style;
they are also noted for ttv..r brilliant
conversational and entertain ing powers,
and their ability to carry on one of the
endless intrigues for which the country
is famous, and which, complicated as it
may be, seldom suffers from an expose
or comes to harm.
The present cla39 of Chileans have
Iheir own special form of amusement, as
aa Valparaiso, where they go to Cousino
Park, drink chicha and dance the cuaca,
the Chilean National dance.
All kinds of l'fuit.3 prow in Chile and
there are large vineyards in the country
for the production of native wines. The
Chilean sausage is said to be ns good as
the famous ones of Bologna.
The Chilean flag has one lone contained star on a
ground of blue, which is in
the inner square of the upper half of the
pennant.
There is a National hymn, ten verses
long, which is sung on all public occa¬
sions. The Lone Star ltepublic never

There is a public library in Santiago
which contains nearly 100,000 volumes
and a large number of manuscripts.
There is also a university and college of
sciences, a conservatory and botanical
garden. There are a number of news,
papers published in the city and public
improvements are advancing with rapid
steps. This is due to the enterpiise of
American and English residents, enriched
by Chilean ventures. The Chillano is
not a money-making animal. He would
rather light than eat. If he is not ?
soldier, then he prefers to be a farmer
and expend his untamed energies in out-
of-door labor.
A Cbillano is slender with a tapering
waist and sinews of steel. He is full ot
endurance and he carries himself like a
conqueror, even though he has never
crossed swords with an adversary. But
his people are of mixed blood and are
beginning to lose some of their natural
trait3 aud must hereafter exist on tradi¬
tions.
The President of Chili receives $1S,-
000 a year for his services, and is elected
to office for t term of live years. He
has a Congress and a Cabinet ol
Ministers, a Senate and a Cnamber of
Deputies. There is a complicated sys¬
tem of political power which is at once
complete and powerful. This is not sur¬
prising when it is taken into considera¬
tion that the native census only sums up
a totality cf 3,114,000 inhaoitants.—

WISE \\ OR08.
Honey bee3 never sting one another.
The rigat kind of love never brags on
its work.
The right kind of faith never takes no
for an answer.
Keep your pathway to the throne well
paved with promises.
A man with a pure heart ought to be s
man with a clean mouth.
People with empty heads most gener¬
ally have tongues that rattle.
It is better to suffer wrong from every
man than to do wrong to a single one.
You will I 03 C to-day if you try to
make it a burden-bearer for to-morrow.
To dare is great, but to go to work
and do youi- duty as you ought to is
greater.

Growiug Peanuts.
p C anut 3 grow best on rather light,
sandy loams, especially when they con-
tain a good percentage of lime. T__ Tne
p rc3e uce of this last substance scams to
be essential to the full development of
t b e peanut, and when not naturally
present in the soil must be supplied.
This may be done by broadcast applies-
tioa3 0 f 1 i m3 _ tea to twenty bushels of
slacked ii me to the acre— or by composts
j ato which land plaster enters, or acid
phospates, as these last contain a large
percentage of lime. Ashes also con-
stitute a good fertilizer for peanuts, as
these contain a good deal of lime, also
potash. The yield is very '

the average is, probably not exceeding
thirty bushels per acre. Laud is pre-
pared as for other crops and thrown into
termed the Spanish peanut does not grow
as large as some others and may be
plauted on three foot beds, hills two feet
i apart . The crop is planted about the
game time that corn is, usually in March,
whole "ut may be planted, but
plants do not come up as quickly as
when they are shelled. When planting
is delayed from any cause, it is better to
plant the shelled peas, two seeds in each
hill. When the plants appear they are
plowed and hoed at first like any other
crop. As branches form an < spread out
should be sifted under their ends
with a plow every week or two, but
the branches should not be disturbed by
the plow. The peanut blossoms above
ground, but when the bloom drops the
embryo nut decends into the ground by
a lengthening of its stem. If it does not
get into the soil it aborts and comes to
notuing. It is important, therefore, to
have fresh loose earth in which the nuts
may bury themselves, also that the vines
be not moved, because when disturbed
the nuts will be pulled out of the ground.
Some persons place uirt on the vines to
press them into toe ground and cover
the nnta. This is not necessary if dirt is
properly sifted under the ends of the
advancing limbs, and is objectionable
because it smothers more or less of the
leaves.—Southern Farmer.
