ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.
Those Built by the Medieval Peruvians
 Were the Most Magnificent.

Perhaps the earliest road on record is that mentioned by IIcrodotus as having been constructed by Cheops, the Egyptian king, in order that stones might be dragged along it for his pyr- amid. In the opinion of the Greek traveller the work of making the road was as great as that of building the pyramid, for it took ten years to con- struct, and it was made of polished stones with figures carved on them. But, according to the London Standard, this docs not compare in magnitude with the highways constructed by the Peruvians, while medieval Europe was still in g state of semi bar Darous disor- ganization. The two principal roads n Peru ran from Quito in the north to CGzco, the capital, the one along the sandy and level strip of coast, the other along the plateau of the Andes. re-

GENERAL DISEASES.

zion of unparalleled engineering diff culty. The length of the second has been estimated at from 1,500 to 2,00O miles. It crossed sierras buried in snow, bridged ravines with walls of solid masonry, mounted and descended precipices by staircases hewn in the solid rock and ran in interminable gal leries along the sides of intractable mountains. Where rivers had to be crossed bridges were made with ropes of stout, pliant osier twisted to the thickness Of q mans body and stretched over the stream sometimes for dis tance of zoo feet. These cables swung side by side, and, fastened with blanks SO as to form Q footway were drawn through holes in enormous buttresses of stone specially constructed on each bank, and were secured firmly at each end to heavy beams of timber. A rail ing of similar osier material gave the passenger confidence as he crossed the oscillating bridge that sank danger ously in the middle and mounted rap idly at the sides. The great highway was twenty feet wide, and was built with flags of freestone covered with bituminous cement. It was measured out by posts set up at every league; caravansaries and magazines were sta toned at convenient distances for the Peruvian soldiers on their military ex- petitions; and regular postal service had been organized by which highly trained runners, relieved every five miles, could convey messages a dis tance of 200 miles in the twenty-four hours. The roads were kept in beauti- ful. order, the inhabitants of district being responsible for that portion of the highway which traversed their land. At the same time it should be remembered that there was no wheel traffic to cut up the level surface of the hard pavement. There is considerable irony in the fact that it was not till the Spaniards forcibly introduced their so-called civilization into Peru that the famous roads began to fall into dis repair.

Became Turks.

There are large number of Euro pean noblemen, particularly members of the French, Italian, German and Hungarian aristocracy, who have re- nounced, along with their former Christian faith, their names, which are now concealed under Turkish patro- nymics. Thus, Nouri Pasha, whom the sultan had appointed as ambassador at Vienna and whom Emperor Francis Joseph declined to receive at his court, is no other than the French Comte de Chateauneuf, who, after entering the Ottoman army and marrying Turkish lady, embraced the Mohammedan faith. There has always been an antipathy felt since the time of the crusades against these renegades, and it is solely on this account that the en- peror of Austria refused to permit Nouri Pasha to represent the sultan at his court.
