AMONG THE PERUvIANS.
The South American Nation Described by
Wisconsin Girl.


Wisconsin Girl.
When Hon. John Hicks was appointed
United States Minister to Peru he chose
as Secretary of Legation bright Amer
lean girl, Miss Elizabet L. Banks.
Since being domiciled 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 a
good news-gatherer. Writing to a
friend in this city,, Miss Banks Says:
Demonstration is the ruling habit of
Peru. Ask Peruvian when he will do
anypthing and he replies -.Manana,"
which being translated means sto-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 a
good deal of it into my system.
This is a 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 l will 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 writer 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 eyessare the kind that would
make man jump off Pizarro's bridge
into the river Rimac If his suit hap.
pened to go wrong. The Peruvian men
pay 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

ADVICE TO SINGERS.
They should Know Their Music and
Not Depend Upon Looking at It,

They Should Know Their Music and
Not Depend Upon Looking AT II.
\ writer in Western musical paper
justly remarks that one thing that is
very apt to dctiact from the enjoyment
of a song is the close manner in which
singers, in the majority of cases, de
pend upon the music which they hold
in their hands. 1t is too often held In
such a way as TO give the impression
that the singing of a song was a matter
of life and death, and the singer
clutches the sheet of music as "a last
hopc.' The eyes are seldom raised
from off the music, except perhaps
while singing the last two or three
measures, and then as if it were a great
relief. The singer can not sing with
the freedom necessary 10 give expires
sion TO the song and at the same time
be bound to the music. The bearer
likes to see some signs of feeling eX
hibitcd by the face of the singer.
As the sentiment of the song changes
so should The face change. 10 accom-.
plish this ii is essential to practice sing
ing without a copy of the composition
before you commit both words and
music TO mcmory-then you will be
able TO sing as if you understood what
you were singing about, be able to give
expression to the song and to change
the expression of the face, more or less.
Above all, do not carry the same facial
expression through an entire song-this
is no more correct than it is TO maintain
the same quantity of tone throughout.

One Year in the pepitentIary.

Andrew Bell made an appeal through
his attorney, General Darlington, for a
new trial in the Criminal Court this
morning. The previous good record
Of the boy was an argument in his
favor. it being shown that he had
been in the employ of one family for
eight consecutive years without having
anything against him. Judge Bingham
declined TO grant new trial, but made
the sentence one year in the peniten-
tiary at Albany.

THREE SNAKE STORIES.

Captain George Mckay tells story
in which war and snakes are mingled
in fashion which is interesting, says
the Cleveland Plai0 Dedter. His regi-

Ringing Door Bells.

Seven boys, ranging in ages from IA
years down to &, were before Judge
Miller this morning charged with ring
ing door bells last evening. The boys
admitted the charge, but pleaded the
license which they thought ST. Valen-
tines evening would give them to have
little time. The Court imposed fine
of $40 upon one of them, payable upon
repetition of the complaint, and dis
charged the balance.

Lecture on tho spectroscope.

"Thc Spectroscope and its Applica
lion to Solar Physics was the subject
of Professor Searle's lecture at the
Catholic University yesterday after
noon. lie described the principles
upon which the spectroscopc is con
stuctcd. II is an instrument he said
composed of prism and lenses so ar.
ranged as to separate ray of light
which may be directed through 1t into
its constituent rays, showing each ray
separately. The spectrum of the sun
shows that a gas exists between us and
the suns surface. Among the sub.
stances which il is shown to contain
iron is the most prominent. The Ice
turer explained how, by means of the
spectroscope, prominences on the sun
could be studied at any time, and it was
no longer necessary to wait for an
eclipse.
