AMONG THE PERUVIANS.
The South American Nation DescrfSed by
IA Wisconsin Girl.

When Hon. John Hicks was appointed
United States Minister to Peru he chose
as Secretary of Legation bright Amer
lean girl, Miss Eliza beth L. Banks.
Since being d0miciled at Lima. the cap
ital of Peru, Miss Banks has kept her
eyes open, and, with instinct sharpened
by her connection with various North
western newspapers, she has proved
good news-gatherer. Writing to a
friend in this city, Miss Banks says:
characterization is the ruling habit of
Peru. Ask a Peruvian when he will do
any uthing and he replies 'Manana,"
which being translated means to-mor-
row. Nothing is ever done to-day, all
things take place on the 'manana,'
which never comes. This 'manana'
habit is. | suppose, breathed in with
every breath of the air that one takes
in Peru, and | am afraid | have drawn
good deal of it into my system.
This is very interesting old city,
and yet the people and the government
are very much behind the times, their
ideas being those of one hundred years
ago. The city of Lima has been called
the heaven of women, the purgatory OF
men and the hell of asses;' and to the
last proposition | wilt heartily assent.
The city is full of donkeys, and the men
and women who drive and ride them al
ways carry big chunk of wood with
them, which they continually apply to
the ribs of the poor animals. Some en-
thusiastic wriker has called the women
of Lima the most beautiful in the world.
There are some pretty Peruvian girls to
be met on the streets or saying their
beads in some of the many churches.
Their dark eyes are the kind that would
make man jump off Pizarros bridge
into the river Rimac if his suit hap
pened to go wrong. The Peruvian men
paw a great deal of attention to their
personal appearance and pass away
much of their time in dress suits and
tooth-pick shoes. They are very gal
liant, but are not half so nice as Ameri-
can men from any point of view.-Wash-
ington Capital.

an E0oENTKlc DOCTOR.
The Quaint Ways Of Successful New
England Medical Man

England Medical Man.
DR.. Charles Wild practiced medicine
in Brookline, Mass, in the days when
people insisted upon taking large doses
of calomel, rhubarb, jalap, picra, ipecac,
antimony and countless other drugs,
and on being blistered and bled. The
doctor was equal to the occasion, and
gave his patients their moneys worth
of physic and service-when they could
secure his attendance.
For the doctor was a difficult man to
find. and, when found, to impress with
the idea that he was actually needed.
Unless the case was represented as
matter of life and death. he was apt to
delay his visit until the patient had re-
covered or died. Those who hunted for
him, knowing his habits of going from
one patient to another, without going
home for day or a night, used to go
through the streets looking for ''old
Sal, his sorrel mare, and his familiar
old buggy, standing before some house
door.
But such was the public confidence in
him, that in ordinary illnesses people
would wait his tardy visit rather than
send for another physician.
The author of Sketches of Brook
line describes him as entering house
in the breezy way, stamping off the
snow or the mud, throwing off his over
coat and letting down his black leather
pouch, with noise enough for three men
His salutation, uttered in deep, gruff
voice was likely to be. if the patient
was an acquaintance:
well! well! what kind of kick-up
have you got now?"
He gave nicknames to the children,
and would ask: Flows Nicodemus to-
day." or: '"Well! is Ichabod's tooth
ready for the lance this morning?" A
friends child, whose name was Flor
ence, he called Rome" MILAN" or by
several other italian cities
A member of his family, while making
out the doctors bills, was perplexed by
charge upon the books of visit to
don Sebastian" On inquiry it proved
to be the nickname of child of the
Cabot family.
When the doctor had studied the case
and given the patient his dose of medl-
cine, he would, if there was cause for
anxiety, settle himself for social visit
Of two or three hours, during which he
told droll stories, and acted them out to
the amusement of the children, who
were very fond of him. If the case was
serious he was grave and silent, catch
ing flies, if there were any to catch, or
walked the room in deep thought.
The doctor was more than physician,
he was the counselor of his patients,
who consulted him upon all sorts Of
matters, from choosing a wife or hus-
band to building a hen-coop. His opin-
ion was an authority that few disputed,
for his good sense was seldom at fault
His quaint humor, on leaving sick
room, would often express itself in some
such salutation as this: Now if you can't
sleep well and don't know what to
do, you can amuse yourself with taking
an emetic. Youths Companion.

IMPENETRABLE FOG.
In IT Lies the Greatest Danger to Ocean
Nayigators.

The source Of the greatest peril to all
ships crossing the Atlantic. and that
most dreaded by all commanders, is fog.
The speed and size of the large steam
ers in the hands of competent and vigil
liant men are conducive in many in
stances to their safety; and were it not
for this bette noire of the sea, ocean trav-
elers would have lietle to fear.
The Importance of code of marine
signals, simple in its arrangements for
use in foggy weather, can not be too
strongly advocated. A commander
standing upon the bridge, his ship en-
veloped in a dense mass of impenetrable
vapor, has but his sense of hearing to
depend upon, and can be guided only by
that. He stands at his post, every nerve
drawn to its highest tension, listening
for sounds that for hours do not reach
him. At last, from a distance faint
whistle is borne on the ear, and he is
then instantly on the alert.
He strains his ear to locate the sound,
for the fog is so dense that he can not
see twenty yards away. Is she slower
steamship than his own that he is over
taking, or is it one that he is meeting?
There is nothing in that one blast Ia
give him any information and he can
only wait and listen. He sounds his
steamers whistle once or twice, accord
ing as he ports or starboards his helm,
and awaits the answering signal. Moth
ing reaches his ear but the one blast at
short intervals. He can only rely on
his Judgment, and, reducing the speed,
keep on the course he has selected.
The sound becomes clearer. The un-
known ship is approaching, and he real
ICES that she is drawing nearerand near
err; so near that his heart is beating rap
idly, and he almost holds his breath in
the intensity of his anxiety. A dark
shadowy form passes so close by to him
that for a moment his blood runs cold,
and every pulsation ceases; but the dan
ger is over. She has disappeared in the
fog, and he can breathe again, for his
ship and all on board are safe.
This is but one of the thousands of
hairbreadth escapes that have occurred
on the ocean which have never been re-
corded and which will never be known.

Review

MILLIONS OF DEVILS.
One Hundred Imps to Every Person, Ac
cording to Mormon Doctrines.

One Hundred Imps to Every Person. Ac-
cording to Mormon Doctrines.
If the children of Utah believe the
teachings of MILFORD Woodruff, the sue
cessor of Brigham Young and John Taylor
in the presidency of the Mormon Church,
life must present gloomy outlook to
their youthful eyes, with small hope
of salvation at the end; for it is the de-
liberate calculation of this aged teacher
that each person now upon the earth is
individually beset by 100 devils, whose
mission is to betray him into torment.
1t is a matter of simple arithmetic;
100. OO0 600, 900 devils fell to the earth
with Lucifer; there are 1000, 900 peo-
pie on the earth, which gives 100 imps
to every man, woman and child.
snow, / want all our boys and girls, )"
said President Woodruff recently to the
nSornon children, ito reflect upon this
and to see what danger they are in and
the warfare they have to pass through"
President Woodruff has an abiding be-
lief that these agents of Satan have an
actual form and can appear in the body
before the eyes of men, for he has seen
them and battled with them more than
once during his eyentful career. When
in Liverpool in 1870, engaged in mission
ary work for the Mormon Church, he was
called upon to labor over a woman who
was in terrible rage, tearing her
clothes and requiring the strength of
three men to hold her in bed. He laid
hands upon her and commanded the
devil to depart, which it did, and the
woman fell into a sleep and awoke re-
stored But the devil who had lost his
lodging remained about the neighbor-
hood and soon took up his quarters in
the body of little child. The mission
airy was again appealed to.
Il found it, he relates, lin great dis
tress, writhing in its mothers arms,
laid hands upon it and cast the devil out
of it, and the evil spirits had no power
over the household afterward. IN. Y.
