In architecture the Peruyians
reached high state of perfection. and
the remains of one of their works of
art. at Lake Titicaca, are truly won
derful. Their temples were covered
with extensive bas reliefs, represent
ing, as it is supposed, certain astro-
nomical figures. They were skilled in
making stone implements. but very
few arrow heads have been found.
which leads to tie supposition that
they made very little use of bows and
arrows, and that their chief weapon OF
defense was the sling. Besides this,
they used war clubs aud javelins.
The country abounds in extensive
copper mines, and the inhabitants
were evidently well acquainted with
certain metals, their agricultural inn
plements being chiefly of bronze.
They We're also skillful gold and silver
smiths, and excelled in the manufac.
ture of all kinds of pottery, while the
art OF spinning and weaving was also
not unknown TO them.
The tombs that have been found in
Peru are very numerous and remarsa-
bly, we'll preserved. This is due to
their belief in the immortality of man
and the superstition that unless all his
members were kept together, hewould
not be resurrectcd. -Philadeiphia Led

Industripl Associations in France.

There are in France ST. associations
OF employers, s9l of workingmen and
597 of farmers. The woriinglnen's
associations, which were formerly po-

the most part purely mutual benefit
societies of late years. The agricult-
ural societies do not agitate political
