"Tall Stone Gods"

Near the little village Of San Jose.
Peru, on the bleak and barren shores
of Lake Titicaca-the most elevated
body of water of any considerable
size in the world-are three large
pillars Of stone. If they were not
OF unequal height they would resem-
bic gate posts or piers upon which
at some time in the far past great
arches had been erected. To the
different tribes of Peruvians they
are known by words which signify
standing stones" and tall stone
gods" Upon the north side OF each
OF these huge powders the rude
features Of human face have been
deeply carved, the other three sides
OF each being chiseled with designs
Of various shapes, kinds and sizes.
These carved symbols are all sup
posed to have some reference to sun
worship, which the ancient Peru
VANS are known to have practiced.
Although the ancient inhabitants OF
that country were highly civilized,
and probably had many mechanical
appliances, it is believed that they
were unequal to the task OF placing
these gigantic monoliths in their
present position. The evidence
rather points to their having origin
ally been wandering or cratic
powders deposited by some melting
glacier.

The Christmas number of Scribner's
Magazine CONTAINS five short stories of
unusual beauty in sentiment, especial
ly chosen for their appropriateness to
the Christmas season. The authors
are Robert Grant, Thomas Nelson
Page, Henry van Dyke, Edith Wharton.
and Herbert D. Ward. There is in
addition a hitherto unpublished work
of fiction by Sir Walter Scott, which is
here printed by arrangement with
Mrs. Maxwell Scott, and introduced
and edited by Andrew Lang. The
poetry of the number represents an
equally notable list of authors inclu-
ding Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Richard
Henry Stoddard, Edith NJ. Thomas,
Duncan Campbell Scott, and Graham
K. Tomson.
The illustrations represent the best
work of eminent artists. including j.
Il. Weguelin, Edwin Lord Weeks. +. s.
Church. Howard Pyle, A. b. Frost, and
Irving r. Wiles. A novelty in maya
zine illustration is sixteen pages of ex-
quisite haf-tone reproductions of the
Della Robbia sculptures, printed in
tint to suggest the delicate material of
Rothebbia work.
+. Marion Crawford, the distin-
guished novelist, who in paul Patoff'
showed his wonderful familiarity with
Constantinople and his exquisite power
of describing it, has written for Serb
ner's two articles on "Constantinople, E"
which in themselves are a perfect ex-
preston of all the varied life and color
of that wonderful city. Edwin Lord
Weeks, whose pictures of Oriental life
are famous, made special trip to Con-
stantinople to collect the material for
illustrating these articles. The pic
lures which accompany the first article
in the Christmas number are as success
full in their way as Mr.. Crawford's un.
cQualled text.

OREGON LANDSCAPES,
Moss Grown Forest aud Moss Coverkd
Everything Al About.

Mr.. Hamlin Garland, in his paper,
western landscapes" thus gives an
impressionist sketch of an Oregon
landscape:
A group of rough. Imprinted cabins
set in space half cleared of trees.
A mat of fallen half burned gigantic
tree trunks. wherein cattle iced per-
ilously seeking the short green sue
cLlent grass.
A few gardens fenced about with
rails or waited fir tops. A few shops
fronting upon 4 muddy street. And
all about the cold dark green and gray,
moSs-bedrabblcd trees stand, lifting
their spearlike points, in serried, un-
ending ranks into the gray sky.
The Imprinted houses have an old
look. They are messed on their roofs
and bleached gray as granite with
sort CT fcathery texture where the
beating rains have worn into the fiber
of the wood. Moss, everywhere moss.
The trees dripped moss. On every
projecting limb or knot on every twig,
moss lay, green-all shades of green,
from gray green to flaming emerald.
Forests on every hand-wild, I'M
measurhd, impenetrable forests, fire.
SCARED, matted with ferns and fallen
trunks.
Forests that seemed old and hoary
enough to date back to the carbonifer-
GUS age, filed with swamps and car
peted with russell brown mats of ferns
and green and red tanglcs of berry
bushes.
Silent forests! Soundless except for
the moan of the wind. and the wild
crescendo snarling howl of the circular
saw as it grapples with savage teeth
upon the logs which the grim-faced.
stalwart woodsmen thrust at it. Its
imperious note was like the great trees
finding voice.
In this land trees are an enemy. The
axmen and sawyers go forth TO battle
with the gloom and terror of the
swamps and tir trees To them the
song of the saw is a song of battle-a
song that nerves their hands to do the
will Of their hearts.
rs the trees fall, the sunlight comes
in, but the moss remains.

with tirst-class publishing house to
furnish a series of beautiful worlds
fair pictures, of a large size, at the
nominal cost to the purchaser of only
ten cents for portfolio of sixteen il
rustrations. Nothing so handsome in
reference to the Worlds Fair has be-
fore been published. The series would
be worth at least twelve dollars if the

large quantities, and we are therefore
able to furnish these works of art for
only ten cents.

A Tonic THAT Quiet, the Nerves.

Not all the sedatives and nerve foods aud
narcotics, in which this age Of medical dis
covery lie so prolific, can restore quiet to the
nerves permanently, so long as the tranquility
OF those sensitive organs are disturbed by irreg-
ular digestion. When the food is not ade-
quately digested and assimilated, tonic or in
MIGRATING effect is not exerted upon them,
they remain weak and unstrung, and nightly
