And friends will ask. perchance, with quiv-

AS they may hear, at times, a stifled
moan,
And shall long for touch of finger tips,
Some loving hand to warmly clasp my
Perhaps in my distress you'll not be near,
The SHOWS may lie above you, cold and

The voice love so much may not hear,
Unless in spirit whispers through the
night.

Some day 1t will be soft comes to all;
And will you. list'ning. hear my faintest
cry,
Returning answer to my feeblest call?
Another's hand may gently stroke my hair,
And close my eyes and watch while life
endures:
But. Oh! my soul shall wander everywhere,
With ceaseless, longing cry in search Of
yours

And when you hear the old, familiar tone.
Along with Heavens morning. come to

The thermometer registers every
degree of natural heat. In Lima
the mercury goes down to 40 de-
grees in the mid-winter month
of July; and it sometimes rises
as high as 90 in the summer month of
January. The winter weather is damp
and chilly, making overcoats necessary.

artificial heat. but some of the newer

Earthquakes are seldom experienced
in northern Peru, but suboceanic ir-
ruptions have been disastrous, some
times destroying coast cities. In 1868
Arequira was damaged by the ripple
of distant earthquake wave, but the
damage resulted mainly from the old
time Spanish architecture. The houses
were of stone with arched roofs, which
speedily tumbled when shaken; while
lighter houses of modern architecture
were scarcely disturbed by the quake.

logued in 1851, contained 10000 differ

known in the northern temperate zone,

Presently, however, the soldiers were

The ocean trip is described rs o

Cuba, where the ship passes SO close
to land that passengers can see the
lighthouse keeper, his wife and chill
dren watching the ships that pass. On
clear day, at this point, the peaks Of

are 80 miles away. From Cuba to
Colon is regarded as an exceedingly
uncomfortable trip. The lazy winds
blow from the north, but so slowly
that tney barely keep up with the ship;
and there is no breeze felt for fully 600

After q railroad ride of so miles,
crossing the Isthnus of Panama, the

grown into a very pretty girl, who
stopped on her way home from picnics
to tell her dear old aunts what lovely
