AT Payta we took on a battalion of
Peruvian soldiers, with one brass
mounted officer to every seven men.
The wives and families of the Peruvian
army always travel with them like the
squaws and papooses of the North
American Indian. In camp the women
do the cooking ; on the march they
carry on their backs and heads a great
part of the camp ~equipage, and in battle
they nurse the wounded and rob the
dead. They are poor, miserable, de-
graded creatures lust one degree above
the dogs which follow at their heels.
Their power of endurance are extraor-
binary. Often it is the case that they
will march twenty or thirty miles day
over dusty roads, carrying a child on
their backs, without water or food.
The poor children have the hardest
time. for they are always without rest
or shelter and often without food. But
it is the experience they are born INTO,
and they know nothing of a better life.
The officers tell me that the children
often die on the march, when their
mothers strip the clothing from them
and throw the bodies into the sand or
woods, without even a burial or a tear.
On the contrary, the women seem to be
glad TO be relieved by death of an In
cumbrance.

A dispatch from Toronto says: Sew
9ral months ago a charge was preferred
in King Solomon Lodge Of Masons Of
Toronto against a member named Har-
rison, to the effect that he was an
agnostic. and therefore not entitled to
admittance into the lodge DOM. The
charge was investigated, and s~atisfacto-
ry proof of Harrison's agnostic views
having been obtained he was expelled
from the lodge. AS this was the first
case of the kind that ever occurred IN
this eontinent-and it probably has no
precedent in the history OF Masonry
it excited much speculation as to the
Justice of King Solomon Lodge taking
the action il did, and the decision of
the Grand Master of Canada, given to-
day at the Grand Lodge meeting in
Hamilton, has been looked for with
Interest by Masons all over the world.
Harrison, 1t was alleged, was an
agnostic, and not an atheist, the distinc~
ton being that the latter deny the
existence of a God, while the former
simply say: ''There may be a God. |
do not deny it; but do not know that
There is" The decision Of the Grand
Master of Canada to-day was as follows:
mo person can be initiated who does
not believe In the true God, the Great
Architect of the Universe"
The Grand Master added that the
attention of Masons all oyer the world
had been directed to this subject by the
address of the Grand Master of the
State of New York, which he quoted
approYingly. Masonry. he continued,
wisely required no more than a belief IN
God, who had revealed His will to man,
and would punish vice and reward viz
tue. 1t required that, and nothing less
would be accepted. The man who
denied the existence Of a God was
already excluded. Practical atheism
should also be excluded in the persons
who only admit that there possibly may
be a God.
The Grand Master also decided that
a Quaker, who does not take an oath or
administer one, cannot be a Mason also
that an Indian not enfranchised can be
a Mason.
This decision has given much salts
faction among Masons in this part of
Canada, Harrison is a manufacturer of
church windows, and he says that his
expulsion from King Solomon Lodge
injured his business. He threatens to
take action lor damages.

According to an eminent physician,
the age at which running can be- prac-
ticed, by a healthy man in training, Is
from twenty to thirty. Boys and girls
also of ten or twelve can run with no
apparent fatigue. In boys races, for
those under fourteen, no previous train
ing should be inflicted No n should
train for running until he is eighteen,
but twenty would be the safer. Be-
tween twenty and twenty-seven Is the
best age for obtaining speed In running.
Between thirty and forty a wise man
will think twice before undergoing
training for race-running. Older men
should run under no pretence whatever.
1t may be added that no woman should
run on any %pretence whatever, except,
of course, when chased by a cow; and,
since every rule must have its exeep-
ton, a man, even after his fortieth
birthday, must not hesitate upon occa-
sion to II away from a pretty girl.
That Is the only way.

THE WINTER or LIFE

mo snow fall so gently as the SHOWS
age. Yet none are so heavy, as they neYe
The snow of winter gently falls,
And whitens Ger the ground;
Thus, with the snowy wreaths OF time
The brow Of age Is bound.
1t melts, but slowly falls,
Silent and scarcely seen,
Until the heads of those we love
Glitter with silver sheen.
Time never heeds the pain or grief
Which human nature feels;
No backward movement ever makes
But onward rolls Its wheels;
Regardless of the bitter wall
OF hearts by anguish riveni
The songs of youth, the plants Of age,
Unheeded, rise to heaven.
Oh, could we find the tabled spring
Which would our youth restored
Or gaze, like Traveller outward bound
on the reeeding shore:
But all in vain-the bounding wave
Still bears us from the strand;
The mystic waters powers naught
But a tale Of fairy land.
Better to bear with cheerful heart
The change that time may bring,
And garner treasure for old age,
Then sigh for endless spring.
Treasures of faith, of hope, of love,
Freely to mortals given;
Death will restore our youthful bloom
There's no old age in heaven.

The mountain supposed to mark the
spot where the ark rested after the de-
LUCE is divided into two peaks, Great
Ararat on the northwest and Little
Ararat on the southwest. The bases
of the two hills blend, though their
submits are seven miles apart. The
summit of Great Ararat is the highest
point in Armenia, and is 1922 feet
above the sea level. For more than
5000 feet below its summit it is con-
stantly covered with snow and ice.
Little Ararat is lowerb by 1000 feet, and
is free from ice in September and De-
tober. The two mountains are both
volcanic, an eruption having taken
place from them as lately as July, 1870.
Ararat is the central point Of the divl-
ding lines of Armenia; and marks the
place, since 1927, where the, Russian
Turkish and Persian possessions meet.

We owe many things to Peru, 20 many
IN fact that were it not for them it is an
interesting question to study out what
condition our race might occupy at this
day different from that Of the past.
The Peruvian silver turned a numerous
emigration to the shores of this eonti-
nent, while the Peruvian cinchons kept
alive the newcomers who might have
died of the coast and other fatal fevers
which met the unaccllmated adyentu-
rers. Peruvian guano has enriched
England and France through the pros
perity of agriculture, and we owe a
great debt Of gratitude for the same
gift. And now we have a new medlci-
nal agent which promises to become as
notOble an anaeshetic for local applica-
tons as ether or chlorifOem have been
in other ways. This plant has long been
known from its uses among the Peruvi-
ans, who have been addicted sto it as a
pleasing and moderate stimulant and
intOxlcant. The leaves are rolled up
with a little lime IN them and are chew
ed. The saliva, which is swallowed,
produces slight intoxieation and a
strong inclination to rest. As the native
woTkmen take their coca four times a
day the prolonged rest which it encou-
RACES are serious drawbacks to their
Industry. As a set off against this,
however, it IS claimed that the laborer
can perform a great deal Of labor by the
help of this stimulant with very little
food. The same claim we think has
been made for beer and other alcoholic
~stimulants.
The new uses of coca, however, is of
the greatest Importance to the human
race. By a chemical process an aka.
LOid, or its active principle, cocaine
has been separated from the leaves.
This drug has the property of produ-
cling local 1nsensibility to pain upon any
part of the body to which it is applied.
The cocoaine has been chiefly used in
serious operations upon the eye with
great success; but its use in the treat
ment of General Grant has brought it
into greater notice and has popularized
its name and reputation. 1t is exceed
ingly costly, having been sold for
several dollars a grain, and it costli-
ness prevents its use, except in rare
cases. The plant is a small shrub about
FIVE to eight feet high, which bears
thick evergreen leaves. The folm of
the leaf is an oyoid, prolonged and mar
row at the base. The shrub grows in
the mountain districts, Where it is cul
tiyated in plantations for the leaves,
which form an a~rticleof domestic COM
merce, and are sold in a dried state for a
dollar or more per pound. The first
crop of leaves is picked when the shrub
IS five years old, after which an annual
gathering is made. The leaves are
imported into Europe and America,
aud the traffic promises to become I'M
~portant and the value to increase large
ly for some time at least, as new planta-
lions are of slow growth. 1t is quite
probable that the plant would grow sue
cessfully in some portions of the United
States or Mexico or Cuba, and the sup
ply be largely increased. Its known
value and the probability Of its success
full culture in the United States gives
it a general interest, especially to the
farmers of Florida and Southern Cali

 Our ffiOcers are very reluctant about advertising matters, in which the public are interested through the county paper. We are sorry this is he case, for we know it will pay to advertise pub lie work, and to prove the asser- ton we will give ono instance Sometime since a c0mmissiner was appointed to contract for the get ting out of boards to cover the court house. The contract was made and no one knew anything about it, at least we knew nothing of it. They gave in currency out of the county $6 per thousand for the boards delivered. About the same time Wofford and Dollarhide made trade for the same kind of boards gotten of the same cypress brake and got them delivered at s per thousand. Just in this on @ trade there was 420 lost to tn e county. Advertise public business gentlemen.
 The officers of Nevada county have been making the same mis- take in letting out contracts. It would cost but little to insert no. tice of such things in the PICAYUNB and it would be to the interest of the county for it to be done.
