Z, L.. uunnown to the ancient Amer
icans, has particular names in some of their
tongues" 1t is not easy to understand why
they had names for this metal, if they never at
any time had knowledge of the metal itself In
the Mecurio Peruano, tome 1, p. 201, 1891, it is
stated that anciently, the Peruvian sovereigns
"worked magnificent iron mines at Ancoriames
on the west shore of Lake Titicaca; but we can
not give the evidence used in support of this
statement.
Professor Orton, in his recent book, "The
Andes and the Amazon" exceeds even Mon
tesiuos in his estimate of the antiquity of the
Peruvian civilization. He says on this point:
Geology and archaeology are combining to
prove that Sorato and Chimborazo have looked
down upon civilization far more ancient than
that Of the meas, and perhaps coeval with the
f1inthakes of Cornwall and the shell-mounds of
Denmark. On the shores of Lake Titicaca are
extensive ruins which antedate the advent of
Nance Capac, and may be as venerable as the
lake-dwellings of Geneva. Wilson has traced
six terraces in going up from the sea through
the province of Esmeraldas toward Quito; and
underneath the living forest, which is older than
the Spanish invasion, many gold, copper and
stone vestigeS Of lost population were found
In all cases these relics are situated below the
hi2h-tide mark, in a bed of marine sediment
from which be infers that this part of the coun-
try formerly stood higher above the sea. If this
betrue, vast must be the antiquity Of these re-
mains, for the upheaval and subsistence of the
coast is exceedingly slow."-p. 109
Peru would now be a very different country.
If the Spaniards had been sufficiently controlled
by Christianity and civilization to treat the
Peruyians justly, and seek nothing more than

taking the steamer a foot further aft, crushed in
q plank above the water line, tearing off the
copper and making large opening just under
water. The steamer was in a sinking condition,
the water coming in rapidly, and at one time
reaching nearly to the fires but by great efforts
and everything available was pressed into SER
vice, and Sunday the ship was placed in a con-
dition to make the harbor. The name and the
condition of the brig are unknown, as nothing
was heard from her; but she was seen after the

Ineir list is, prob
aUiy, detective; and Mauco Capac, who is set
down as the first inca with fabulous story of
his mysterious origin, was undoubtedly Dor
rowed from traditions Of the origin of civiliza-
ton in the more ancient times. The civilization
of the meas did not begin with them. 1t was
much older than their time, as both the ruins
and the traditions bear witness. Mr. Prescott
says:-"0n the shores of Lake Titicaca, extern
sive ruins exist, at the present day, which the
Peruvians themselves acknowledge TO be of
older date than the pretended advent of the
incas, and to have furnished them with
models Of their architecture :"-and 1--WE may
Teasc nably conclude that there existed in the
country a race advanced in civilization before
the time of the meas" Among the ruins be-
longing to this older civilization, are those at
Gran-Chimu, old Huanuco, Tiahuanacu, and
those on the islands Of Lake Titicaca. In the
work Of Riyero and Won Tschudi on Peruvian
Antiquities" it is stated that critical exami-
nation of the ancient monuments Indicates
two very different epochs in Peruvian art, at
least so far as concerns architecture; one before
and the other after the arrival of the first inca"
There was much in the country to indicate
that it had undergone important revolutionary
4 changes, previous 10 the time of the incas. The

could not be increased without injury to the
patients. The trustees of the female college ac-
cepted this repulse in silence, but last summer
renewed their request, to which refusal as de-
cided as before was returned, but in this case
with no reason assigned The trustees
have now petitioned the city govern
ment to give their students the desired
privilege, and their petition is supported byia
considerable number of prominent citizens,
enough, both in numbers and character to en-
sure it respectful consideration. The agitation
of the woman question has advanced so far, at
least, as to convince most people of the proprie-
ty of allowing to such women as desire it, the
facilities for obtaining thorough medical edu-
cation. Among these facilities, access to a
large hospita' is one of the most important. 1t
is true that there must be a limit to the number
of students. admitted, but, as the Harvard medi-
cal students have excellent opportunities else
where, it does not seem very unreasonable that
in the female wards the students of the woman's
college should have the preference.

There are, Of course, imperfections in the pres

IN the system itself and in the imperfections of
the men who administer it; but it is by no
means such an utter failure as is very common
" asserted. We believe that in the offices at

and capable, with very few exceptions; and that

About Fashions i'm Hair,

There are few among the male sex
who do not look with appreciation upon
any approach, however slight. TO a re.
turn TO nature from the curiously arti-
fetal modes of dressing the hair with
which the ladies' have of late years as
tonished all beholders. The discardng
of the heavy porter's knot or pad. com.
monty called chignon, worn on the nape
OF the neck, Is q move in this direction
and is to be commended as being also
an abandonment of a habit that was not
only unhealthy but impure: unhealthy
because Of the weight and heat Of the
cumbrous pile Of hair, and because this
pad impeded the free movement of the
neck and head and impure because
the chignon is frequently made of the
hair of persons not over clearly in their
habits and bodies, and sometimes il is
stuffed with horsehair or other sub.
stances which have a natural tendency
to sccrete dust. French braid and
ringlets of the Iady's own hair are de
cided improvement on " chignons." and
the ladies have done well to adopt the
head dress known as the Pompadour."
although that celebrated parsonage was
not the best model that might have
been chosen. 1t is curious TO notice
how fashions repeat themselves. Some
time before the breaking out of the late
war, and while the Court of the Tuile-
ries was yet in the full swing of its
| frivolity, the prevailing taste was for
fair hair. Blondes were all the rage.
and this curious fancy was then import
eel into England and this country. In
Paris and London, ladies whose hair
was dark resorted to dyes and other
contrivances to change its color TO COL
| den, yellow. or auburn. But this is n
practice borrowed from antiquity and
practised extensively in Europe during
the middle ages. Josephus tells US,
that on grand occasions Solomon was
preceded by forty pages. whose hair was
powdered with gold dust. The cele.
brated Greek sculptor. Miron. when
seventy years Of age, fell in love with
the Athenian beauty. Lais, and. after he
had been repulsed, had his white locks
dyed, and asked again but she replied.
=" how can | grant thee to-day what
refused to thy father yesterday p The
Emperor Commodus powdered his hair
with gold dust, and the Romans used n
! dye for changing dark hair to fair. made
OF goats fat and ashes. This dive was in
the form of soap balls, which was called
"Malliac balls from Nahum. in Ger.
many, where they were made. The Ro.
man poets, Ovid and Gatullus, went
into ecstases over fair hair. and their
Chloes, Pyrrhas, and Cynthias were
! blondes. The Italian painters of the
