PERUVIAN TEMPLES OF THE
SUN.

Of the early history of the Peruvians we
have but little knowledge, owing to that
barbarian policy exercised by the followers
of Cortez and Pizarro, in destroying every
thing belonging to the tribes which they
conquered. Like the Mexicans, the Peru
vians had advanced in art, science and
learning, under the administration of sue
cessive wise rulers, and their State ar
chives contained written histories of their
country, from the dawn of civilization
among them, till the period of the conquest.
But the superstitious Spaniards committed
these works to the flames, because of their
heather origin, and we are obliged to de-
pend almost exclusively on the truth of the
tradition, for the knowledge we possess of
the history of this people during the Inca
dynasty. The most magnificent of all the
temples was that of the sun of Cuzco. The
mode of worship in this temple was similar
to that of Heliopois in Egypt, where this
great luminary was 'adored. His golden
image occupied large portion OF one side
of the interior of the temple, and before
this the worshippers prostrated themselves
with rich offerings in their hands, which
were received by the attendant priests
Two or three virgins, selected from the
first families in the kingdom, were in con-
slant attendance, whose duty it was to
make oblations of wine to the deity, and
chant hymns of praise to the great Father
of Light. Like other aborigines of this
continent, the Peruvians were no.
madic tribes, and gained subsistence
by hunting and fishing. superstitious in
the extreme, their objects of worship
were as numerous as those of the Egyp-
tians.

CHINESE LADIES.

The compression of ladies' feet to less
garded as mark, or as consequence, of
the inferiority of the sex. 1t is really a
mark of gentility. Various accounts are
given of the origin of this custom. On,
is, that an emperor was jealous of his wi fe
and to prevent her from gadding abroad,
put her feet in iron stocks. Another is,
that certain empress Tan-ke (B. c., 110O
was born with club feet and that she caused
the emperor to issue an edict adopting her
foot as the model of beauty, and requiring
the compressing of female infants feet SO
as to conform to the imperial standard.
While third account is that the emperor
Le-yuh Ca D. 96D was amusing himself
one day in his palace, when it occurred to
him that he might improve the appearance
of the feet of favorite concubine. He
caused her feet to be bent as to raise the
instep into an arch, to resemble the new
moon. The figure was much admired by
the courtiers, who soon began to introduce
it into their families. 1t is said that an
other emperor, two hundred years later,
placed stamp of the lotus flower (water-
lily) on the sole of the small shoe of his
favorite concubine, so that at every step
she took she left on the ground the print
of the flower; hence, girls with small feet
are comphmented at the present day as
'the golden lilies" The operation of ban
daging and COMPRISING the feet is very
painful; children cry very much under it.
Modification of the feet has been known to
result from this cruel practice. Custom,
however, imposes it as necessary attrac
ton in women. An old gentleman at Can
ton, being asked the reason why he hat
bandaged his daughters feet, replied that il
she had large feet she could not make .
good marriage.

AN INTERMEDIATES HUSBAND.

Among Moslems divorce is even simpler
than among the Jews. No 'bin of docu-
ment" is necessary, but only the short
verbal formula of ''Veil thysef, take thy
marriage portion, and CO." A wife may he
thus repudiated twice and taken back, but
if the fatal formula have been pronounced
third time, she can only be recovered af-
ter fully consummated marriage with and
divorce by another husband. This latter
condition sometimes resultsz in awkward
eontretemps. The person chosen to play the
part of intermediary husband is generally
the oldest and feehlest poor man that can
be found. For consideration" he con-
sents to discharge the provisional function,
and engages to divorce the lady on the
morrow. But it occasionally happens that
the faithless old sinner, having pocketed
and earned his fee, refuses to surrender a
pretty and wealthy bride, or only does SO
after much longer usufruct than was bar
gained for, and for further considerable
money ransom. AS may readily be sup
posed, such condition and its incidents
have weight with even the haistiest-tem-
pered husbands, and co-act with other con-
siderations to protect wives against the risk
of tulak (repudiation) except for grave and
sufficient reasons Certain it is that, bar
ring in such cases, divorces are now quite
as rare among the Moslem as among the
Christian subjects of the Porte, and hun
dred times less common than among our,
more civilized" selves Before the Cadi,
however, as before Sir James Hannen, the
law in this respect favors the wife less than
the husband. The latter may brave social
feeling and cut the conjugal knot when he
likes, but the wife can only regain her
freedom on proof of positive il-treatment
or for one or two other grounds of COM
plant, and even then at the cost of aban-
doning her dowry and trousseau to her pee
cant husband. Magazine.

account of his failing intellect, were COM
parative strangers to him aud to the
public until the prospect of a slice from
his immense estate brought them to the
surface. Mrs. Ann Cuddihee toiled at
her washbo in Detroit until seventy
five years had passed over her head,
when, like a tidy woman, she inverted
her tub, set her washboard up in cor
ner, took down her clothesline, and died,
leaving a little homestead and some
money in bank. Having no relatives at
hand, she devised her estate to Susan
McGee, an honest, Industrious woman
who had been kind to her in her old age,
and nursed her in her affections. But
scarcely had Mrs. Cuddihee popped down
than two cousins popped up, and al
though they had never before claimed a
relationship or manifested any affection,
they were not slow in bringing suit to
contest the will. The chances now are
that the old lady's hard earned money
will either 60 to relatives of whom she
had never heard or be entirely consumed
in litigation.

TuE FIRST STONE LIGHT HOUSE,

The first stone lightho in Europe was
the celebrated Tour de Condouran built on
a fiat rock off the mouth of the Garonne in
the Bay of Biscay. 1t was finished and Lit
up more than 25o years ago, and still con-
tinues one of the finest towers in existence;
it replaced one built by the English be-
tween 1862 and 1871, when the Black Prince
was Governor of Guienne. The stone build
ing was begun by Louis de Folk in 1884,
continued through the reign of Henry w.,
and finished in that of Louis XIII. lts
height is now 1876 feet, and its style of con-
struction enables it to bear much more
decoration than our own more homely
structures; it is also memorable as the first
house which exhibited a revolving light

Calcutta is divided into three parts: thers
is first, the suburban, or residential part,
where the official people and non-trading
class of Europeans live; next the. CONNER
cial or business part, occupied by public
offices, courts, shops, banks, and other es-
adjustments; thirdly, the native part,
where the rich baboos live in houses of
European fashion, and the poorer in mere
huts or wigwams, which cover many square
miles out of the whole extent of the city,
and indeed form the larger portion of its
space. The huts of the natives, massed to-
gether by thousands, have o savage SIM
plicity. They resemble the roofs of hay
stacks supported by scaffolding or props;
sometimes they have mud walls, sometimes
merely mating or cane-wattlng to serve as
screens from the public eye. The first
drive through this portion of the town is
not pleasant for European. He may
drive through acre after acre of such habi-
tations, varied by occasional mean build
ings of white slucco. 1t is not the mode
of habitation, however, but the humanity
of the place, which is calculated to turn
the stomach of the inexperienced. One,
two, three, or any definite number of dark
skinned naked people need net sicken any
body; but to be alone amid illimitable num-
bers of naked bodies, some of whom are
less comely than apes, amid an infinite dis
play, of uncovered and sometimes perspir-
ing skins of all shades of color from red to
black - copper, chocolate, bistre burnt
umber, charcoal; to see countless
number of hairy chests, some hard and
bony, as though in the last stage of emacia-
ton, and some, and these the most horrible,
pendulous from corpulence; to see so much
bare humanity in all sorts of ungainly pos
tures-squatting for the most part like
apes, smoking the eternal hubble-bubble
and gazing vacantly from dark stony eyes
beneath brows wrinkled with excessive heat
and crowned with black, shaggy, and bris-
tied hair, is very degrading to civilized
humanity. Here we, the whites seem the
exception, and the blacks the normal type
of humanity. A cleanly baboo, or respec-
table native, with his white soup-plate head
dress, and his spotless white vest and scarf,
or native domestic servant, bearer, kit
mutgar or syce, is decent looking being;
but the swarming, tattooed, bare-legged,
bare breasted, headed millions Of Ben
galese are in the mass most unpleasant
spectacle, especially in hot weather, when
even baboos out for walk will take off
their vests and shoes for the sake of cool
ness, or saving of washing expenditure, as
they have no undergarments, nature un-
adorned is not very attractive.-Si1 Months

PRACTICE ON SHARES,

Not a year, indeed, hardly a month,
passes but shark spoils British ship Of
one or more of her hands While the ves-
sci is in the harbor, or riding in the ofing,
man tumbles overheard, or is capsized
from boat, or attempts to swim ashore,
and is torn in pieces by sharks within sight
of help and sound of human voice. The
Alice Davies, of Liverpool, has just re-
turned to the Mersey, and in her '1og"
is duly recorded terrible catastrophe Of
this kind. She was anchored off small
river known as the Probolingo, on the coast
of Java, and one of her crew, Welshman,
of the name of Owen, went with four
others to bathe. They were all good SWIM
mers, and Owen, who was the most skillful,
had ventured some little distance from the
vessel, when he was suddenly heard to ut
ter piercing shrek. A large shark, rising
suddenly from the bottom, had bitten him
Immediately below the fifth rib, and liter
ally torn him to pieces. Arope was thrown
to him, but his injuries were SO terrible
that he Immediately sank. His compan-
ions escaped uninjured, but of Owens
body no trace was recovered. The shark
which attacked him was, we are told,
judged to be some fifteen feet in length.
Such dimensions, although large, are yet
not unusual in the Javanese Seas
The shark is not SO much the tiger as the
vulture of the sea. Like the vulture, he
hesitates to attack anything with life in it;
but, if hungry, becomes for the time pos
sessed with courage not his own. We
shall never exterminate him. and his pres
ence in tropical waters must always remain
constant source of danger. Meantime he
has at least this merit, that wherever he
may be found he affords q certain rough
species of sport. There is no better fun
than fishing for shark with a hook the
size of pitchfork, and huge piece of pork
by way of bait. Harpooning the creatures
is also an exciting amusement, although
seldom practised. OF late years, too, the
shark has been hunted in novel and scienti-
fc ways. There is no better form of rifle
practice than to shoot at him from the
stern, with explosive bullets. If you miss
him, he still follows on. If he is hit a
great hole is rent in him. He rolls slowly
over on his back. displaying his cruel, gap
ing jaws and vast expanse of white under
surface, and his brother sharks coming up
from around, quarrel and dispute frater-
nally over the carcass. Best, however, of
all modes of shark chase, because most
scientific, and consequently most amusing,
is that recently adopted in her Majesty's
navy of combining torpedo drill with shark
fishery A miniature torpedo is enclosed
in bait of junk pork, and lowered with
proper care. The battery is duly charged,
and at the moment the huge fish seizes,
and, as pike-fshe would say, pouches"
the tempting morsel, the circuit is COM
pleted. The effect is instantaneous. The
head and jaws of the monster are blown in
to fragments, and bubbling circle in the
water marks the spot where, few seconds
before his dorsal fin was showing above
the waves.-London Daily News.

VALUE OF PAINT.

The Germans, the world over, celebrated
for their Industrious habits and thrift, have
maxim that painting is no expense"
This theory, taken in comprehensive view,
is undoubtedly correct. An occasional
coat of paint on the outside of buildings
prolong their durability, and on metallic
surfaces prevent corrosion. 1t is a matter
of doubt, however, whether board fences,
on account of their being exposed on either
side to the wind, rain and sun, remain in a
sound condition any longer by receiving an
occasional coat of paint We have seen
them, when not protected by any substance,
standing after an existence of fifty years.
Frame honses and barns are often painted
in dark colors, which are preferable to
white in this latitude, as they have a tenden-
cy to absorb caloric, and render the struc-
ture warmer than they would be if daubed
with white or Light shade. The white
washing of walls and outbuildings produces
tone of neatness, but, after q heavy rain
or two, the previous faultless color is de-
cidedly marred. Paint is more durable in
its nature, and when applied to either build
ings or farming utensils well repays the ex.
pense, and when the latter are refreshed in
appearance by an occasional application II
is in every respect of advantage.
