carries in lieu Of pencils. note books, and
blanks, three small cords. Whatever other
questions he may ask and however much he
may know about possessions and mort
Cages, If any, he is only going to ind out
how many braves, squaws, and children
there are in the tribe. These he records BY
tying knots il the proper cord; some Of
these cords are in the United States Ma
tional museum.
This reminds one very much of the an
cient quipus used by tho Peruvians. They
recorded the most complex events by q col
lection of knots and cords Of different
colors. No one can read them now, since
the colors rave faded and even at the time
Of the conquest, the old chronicles tell us,
there were men who were professional
quipus-readers who could not read a quipus
unless they knew what was the subject.
The Knot il the handkerchief and the
thread around the finger to aid the memory
are familiar examples Of the quipus and
on q par with other memory" schemes of
recent years.

Don't Let Him Do 1t.

g Ladies, a word to you on a very impor-
tant subject, says the Philadelphia Press.
The next time any of you goes out walking
with 4 masculine escort, and that escort
catches you by tho arm. whether grasping
it above the elbow, or making a scoop of
his hand and holding your arm at and
below the elbow, snub him then and there.
He is ill-bred if he attempt such a familiar
itv. and nothing but Il smut will cure ill
breeding. No spirited lady should permit
such a thing. 1t is becoming altogether
too common, and a few well-directed snubs
will be necessary to cure the CUSTOM. Take
his arm If he offer it in a gentlemanly way.
and there is no reason why you should not
take it; but do not permit the vulgarity
fret aroken of. A French correspondent
says. apropos OF this: "The late Nj. Meis-
sonier. though a great artist. was q small
man physically, while his second wife was
said to be the largest woman in Paris.
Very shortly after they were married they
went out walking, and madame offered her
nrm to her husband. So deeply was the
sensitive nzturc of the artist wounded that
the relations of tho newly married couple
were almost ruptured, and he scarcely for
gave his wife,"

4 WASHINGTON, Sept. a.-Whether or not the
congressional iunta has been recognized rs
the defacto government of Chilli cannot be
OFFICIALLY learned at the department of
state, as the acting secretary refuses to
make my statement whatever o the sub
ject. Nevertheless there is good reason to
believe that acting uron Minister Egan's
information that the authority of tho iunta
is supreme in Chilli, he has already
been directed to open relations with
them. If there has been any question as
ito the proper treatment of refugees aboar d
United States war ships, it has been de-
"cidsd by Admiral Brown. He eabled to-
day that the Baltimore left for Peru, taking
away twenty refugees whose lives were not
safe in Chill.
pr'Senor Don Prudencio Lazcano, the Chill
ian minister to the United States, has given
up the house he has occupied here for a
time. and, accompanied by his wife, left
Che city this afternoon for New York. 1t il
believed he is on his way to Europe.
