The ancient city of Pachacamac was
long, long ago the Mcccl of South Amer

the Universe. 1t was resort of pill
grims from far and near and also tho
bural-placc of tens Of thousands of an
cicnt dead, and from study Of many
mummics found there much light has
been gwen to old-timc customs.
Many of these were cnvclopcd in a
braided network or sack of sizes or
coarse grass, bound closely about the
body by plated cords; just beneath these
coverings were wrappers OF stout, plain
cotton cloth, fastened by gay cord of
llama wool, and about and next the body

face.
Tn! implements of the persons trade
were incloscd among these many wrap
pings, also copper com.
About women mummies were wrap
pings OF finer CLOTH and always comb
graspcd by one hand; this seemed as if
made from the rays of fish $ fins having
for handle the hard, woody part OF the
dwarf palm. In the other hand lay a
cane handled fan, its ornamcntation the
feathers of parrots and humming-birds.
About the neck were three strings of
shells, and, as with the men, domestic
implements lay between the various COW
crings-an ancient spindle for cotton
spinning, half covered with spun thread,
as if death had surprised the woman busy
with her daily toll.
If mummy was discovered seated
upon q work box containing bits of knit
ting work, weaving implements, skeins
and spools of thread, needles of bone and
bronze, a comb, knife, fan-thc small

understood that a maiden in her youth
and beauty had been laid away; that the
sleep of death had come with unexpected
summons, for at hand were her cosmetic
tubcs-bird bones, these with wad of
cotton to close the opening, and with
some sort of little mill for grinding and
preparing the pigments. Added to these
was a mirror--a piece of iron pyrites
shaped like half an egg, the plano side Of
it highly polished.
The maidcn's hair was braided; thin
narrow bracelet encirclcd one arm; there
was also an ornamental golden butterfly;
and between the feet of the young girl
lay the dried body of a pct bird-often-

Coffee and IndiscstiOn.

Observing physicians learned long ago
that coffee is a hindrancc to digestion !;
but scientific evidence was needed, and
so NJ Lavid, according to La Ncdec'n
Proctician, has been making experiments
on dogs to determine the exact fact with
the following results
"To dog which has eaten 2lO
grammcs of meat he administered 30
grammes of coffee and 10 grammes of
water. After three hours he killed the
dog, and found the mucous membrane of
the stomach pale, discolorcd, and pro-
foundly anRmic. The vessels Of the in
tcrnal superfcics, like those of the peri
phcry, were contracted; 145 grammcs of
the meat remained undigcsted; the coffee
then had retarded the stomach digest
ion"
If coffee will thus delay the digestion
Of dog notably strong, especially in
the digestion of meat, who will attempt
to dispute that it must be equally injur-
ious to human stomachs2 1t is a we'll
recognized fact that dyspcptics are ex-
cccdingly common in all countries where
tea and coffee are frequently used, as in
this country, England and Holland. No
dog of common sense would continue
the use of the fragrant beverage after be.

The Bright Side.

There was never Il night so dark tina,
some would not speak of the dawn, and
never day so bright that some would
not think Of the midnight. 1t is well
that the enthusiast be balanced by the
conservative, perhaps, on the principle
that a little shade improves the tone of
almost any picture. 1t is, however, a
thanklcss mission that the grumblcr en-.
tcrs upon, and his is work that shadows
his own mind and heart more than that
of any other. Most of us see enough of
the hard side of life, hear enough of the
woe and wcarncss, advcrsity and ami
mostly, disappointment and disaster in
life, without being formally reminded
thereof. The newspaper finds more
readers when it announces ships wreck
than when it chronicles launch Its
column of obituaries is more sought for
than its wedding announcements. A
firms failure is read by hundred per-
sons to one who would read of an "opcn-
ing; and a man who steals $1,000 re-
ccivcs more newspaper notoricty than a
thousand men who should deposit $780,
900 each. 1t is the natural elasticity of
the mind and heart that keeps the aver
age man hopeful while the sad and evil
things of life arc running before his eyes
or are being poured into his cars. There
should be a systematic effort on the part
of all people to sec the bright side, speak
of the hopeful things. When majority
of business men talk the dark side of
finance there is panic; when Il majority
of laborng men see the dark side of life
there is a NihiliStic tendency. There is
too much danger in every direction for
any encouragement of the already too
active tendency to see the evil in bust
ness and society. Let us see the bright
side and call other peoples attention to
it.-BOSton Trdreier.

A Simple Remedy.

Lard as an application for bruises is
considered indispensable at our house. If
put on as soon as possible it will usually
remove all soreness and prevent discolor-
alton that follows such a hurt. If the
bruisc is severe it may not cure it en-
tireIy, but will help it in any case. A
blow on the face followed by black
and blue spot is especially annoying, but
unless so near the eyes as to settle black
under them, lard will prevent such dis
colorotion. Try it when next you are so
unfortunate as to get bruise,

before she admitted herself satisfied and
the love-sick swain was able to close his
eyes in sleep for the night. The next
morning he awokc bright and early, and
looking over in tho direction of his wife
he called to mind the ambition that had
been aroused in him the evening be-
fore.
" She never saw anything great in me, v
he observed to himself. She never
asked me to sing. She never thought l
was great musician. And yet am. l

bushcl all my life. Obi if had only

Statuctte how happy we should be, and
how great"
1t was fortunate for his little wife that
this cruel speech was not heard. She
had trouble enough already, and as she
slept tears rolled down her checks. She
sorrowcd even in her dreams. After the
houscmaid had finished the mornings
work the lovers were once more left
alone.
"Now," thought the troubadour, II
shall surprise her by singing" So with
little preliminary cough he cleared his
throat and began.
"stop that noise" shouted the clock
before he had sung half bar, and the
other ornaments ratified on their feet in
strong approval Oft the rebuke.
The troubadour turned his face to his
sweetheart, but in her superior wisdom
she was looking in the other direction as
unconccrncd as though she had not been
the cause of his discontinue.
"'Wcll," observed the troubadour, still
unabashed, 81 have one other accom-
plishment remaining. shall play on tho
guitar" With strong effort he raised
his hand and brought the instrument in
to the proper position, but the strain was
too much for his brittle composition, and
the arm snapped in twain and dropped to
the floor.
"That's right" said the clock; "that
serves you right for being such a goose"
and the other ornaments murmurcd their
appreciation.
The poor troubadour turned to his
sweetheart for sympathy.
"You don't despiSe me, too," he cx-
claimed.
"No," she replied, with heartless
little laugh, 81 always pity fools"
81 pity you, too," came voice from
the other side OF the clock; "and l love
you, dear, just the same as used to-"
The troubadour looked up in surprise.
1t was his wife who had spoken.

her face radiant with love, 81 love you,
and when the housemaid comes in you
will be mcndcd, and will be just as good
as new. Then we will be together again,
and know We will be just as happy as
we once were, won't we, dear2"
The troubadour was too ashamed to re-
ply, but from the look of gratitude which
came into his face it is highly probable
that she spoke the truth; at least let us
trust she did.-Benjamin Northrop IN
