Numerous Evidences of the Industry and
Intelligence Of the Ancient Peruvians.
Lima Cor. Inter ocean,
All along the valley of the Rimac are
the remains of Inca towns, temples, for
tresses and cemeteries, vast reservoirs of
earth in which these prudent people used
to hoard their surplus harvests for time of
scarcity, irrigation bitches carved out of
the living rocks, and terraces along the
mountain sides, walled up with stone to
catch and keep the drifting soil, every
atom of which was necessary to sustain
people whose numbers were as the sands
of their own deserts, and whose struggle
for existence surpasses the wonder OF
modern times. There was no niche of
sod from the mountains base to its sum-
NIT too small or too inaccessible to be
utilized. Wherever grain of maize
could be lodged it was planted, and even
with this perpetual war against the oppo-
sition of nature, they accumulated
wealth which it took a century of Span
ish Incidence and extravaganza 20 waste.
These hanging gardens, these rows OF
terraces around the mountains, as well
as the ruined cities whose walls are per
petual defiance to destruction and decay,
teach lesson that modern Peru will not
profit by. The people of this republic
have been too proud 10 work, but their
ancestors were not too proud to steal
Inca industry. The Chilians have been
here and despoiled them as they despoiled
the original inhabitants of this republic

ethics, and il the science of self-govern-

cause the dead Incas to be equipped IN
their departure from one world TO al

In this rainless region, protected by the

went to n tailor shop and asked for work,
having some knowledge of the trade, but
the tailor needed no assistance, and John
son turned his attention elsewhere. He
was not boy with much assurance,
and was in fact rather bashful, so he
stood around a good deal. hoping for
something to turn up. At last the tailor
took pity on the fricndlcSS boy and see
ing him standing opposite his store one
day, with a look of encouragement on
his face. he went TO him and asked him
to come over TO the shop and he would
try to help him. Johnson quickly ac
Ceptcd the offer and went 10 work.
Opposite the shop where johnson
worked lived an Irishw0man with three

her husband and continued to work at it
after his death in order to support and
educate her three children. johnson be

which she did, teaching him to read,

The Devil and the Deep Sea"

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea-" gets new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was ali the time out of
health-pOor appetite, dis0rdered digestion,
pale earthly color. pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill. followed by fever. Then We
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just As he did from the
tirSt-and so kept doing all along--until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between tine two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea Sometimes the name is
varied, and ii Is called some other inc in
place OF quinine, but it is all the Same-the
old firm with a new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph

cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease OF drug pOis-

quickly depriving the heart of its usual

great. In cases of muscular weakness Of

IClNE. A poor woman in Wales, whose
boy had been very ill for several years, had
expended all of her means to pay for med.
cine. At last the doctors gave him up and
said he must die. He suffered so terribly
with rheumatism that he could not be
moved. One day some one told her about
the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence
of the curative powers OF their Extract Of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothes TO buy a bottle of the
remedy (Siegers Syrup. but now she feels
proud that sic did so, for it was the means
of curing her son. The Shakers say that
this is the result of indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dySpepiia, and that the
rheumatism was only symptom of the
