Health of Workmen at High Sum.
mItS.

Some noticeable facts are furnished
by the experience of the workmen
engaged in constructing the new Cen
trail Hallway over the mountains in
Peru. The line starts at Lima, iG
altitude twelve degrees, and the sum.
nit tunnel of this line at Galeria is
at the height Of ID, 645 feet 1t ap.
pears that the workmen, up to the
height OF 500 to 10, 900 feet, do about
the same relative quantity of work
as at the sea level, provided they
have been Injured to the height or
brought up in tie country; at II, 600
feet the amount OF work deteriorateS.
and at II, 0j0 to 5000 feet full
third had to be deducted from the
amount that the same men could per-
form at sea level. Owing to the alb
sence Of malaria the percentage of
efficient labor at the greatest eleva-
tion has been very high one. Men
coming from the coast were not found
capable of doing efficient work for
about two weeks on an average when
taken to nigh elevations, the ca.
pacity gradually increasing and reach
ing its maximum in a few weeks OF
months, according to the constitution
Of the individual. The majority OF
the laborers being Cholos, or Indians
born in the Sierra, were found in.
capable of doing eGe,tive work on
the coasts or in the warmer attitudes
without long course of acclimatiza
tion. Sudden changes, too, from the
Sierra to attitudes of from 1000 to
5000 feet have resulted in sickness
and fever

Queer Names for Sermons,

Strange even to irreverence were the
titles OF some of the sixteenth and
seventeenth century sermons. OF such
were the following: ''Baruchs Sore
Gently Opened and Salve Skilfully APP
Piled, 1.-The Shutters of Divine Love, ;"
"a Spiritual Mustard Pot to Make the
Soul Sneeze With Devotion, Crumbs

ARRANGING CUT FLOWERS.

With very few exceptions, every
flower looks best when arranged with
the foliage Dame Nature bestows upon
it. Flowers should not be crowded.
Each one should have fair chance,
therefore do not use dozen fowera
when six would look far better. Buds
and foliage are as important in flower
arrangements as the flowers themselves.
Dame Nature always arranges her
flowers in this manner, and we cannot
do better than to copy her as nearly
as we can.
Different flowers need different
surroundings. Tall flowers like
gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, chrysanthe-
NUNS, need large, tall vases, while
sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansies and
other short-stemmed flowers need low
vases, bowls or baskets. In whatever
we arrange our flowers, let it be Sec
ondary to the flowers themselves. 1t
should not be highly colored, SO as to
''kilI' the coloring of the flowers, or
SO elaborate as to draw attention from
them.
We are not compelled, as in former
years, to put our flowers in the regu.
lation vase, says Good Housekeeping,
or use glass preserve dish. There
nre many beautiful receptacles for
flowers, American cut glass, cut into
innumerable facets, rejecting myriad
rainbows of colors in bowls, baskets,
and dishes of various forms. There
are bowls and jugs of crystalline white,
amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise
blue, apple green and thousand and
one conceits of various kinds.
Gut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and bit of the
stems cut of, all decaying leaves and
6owers taken out, and replaced in
fresh water. Soft water is better than
hard; if the latter is used, few drops,
of ammonia may be added. The cooler
the flowers are kept the longer they
will last. In the winter, when flowers
are scarce, it is good plan to take
cut flowers from the vases at night
and place them in washbowl, keep
ing the flowers above water. Put them
in the cellar, or q cool room where
they will not chill. They will freshen
up and keep much longer than if left
all night in a hot room. Never leave
flowers at night in sick room. 1t is
hurtful for the sick person and the
flowers. Farm, Field and Fireside.

are professional Debtors constant

selves on record as thieves, village
thieves, and brigands. Some of more
modest aspirations call themselves
tavern keepers, visitors of taverns,
travelling story telcrs mendicants,
pensions on their sons-in-law, or sim
liar idlers. One Hindoo says that
''he cannot work becau.e he is
fool" Others confess to a more seri-
Gus occupation, such as "expounder
of oracles," ''eyo examiner" 'sorce-
