LlMA'S. QUEER HOME.
AN ,ss1rlrETIoN TGa Women.
They May Seek Refuge There From Cruel
Husbands and Men May Use 1t As
Prison for RefrActory Wives.

u - =
There is curious Institution in Lima
which you can see from the street cars
on the way to the American legation.
1t is a gloomy.looking ,old building,
with high walls thnt are painted
bright blue, md is known as the Refu.
gio de San Jose. Here n married won.
an may find refuge from cruel and
wicked husband, and here husband
may place wayward or an incompati-
BILE wife, with the approval of the
priest, for discipline and religious
training to improve her temper d and
her morals. Divorce is unknown, ex.
cept on the rarest occasions, when n
dispensation must be obtained from
the Vatican at Rome but an unfaithful
wife can be- sentenced to perpetual i'm.
prisonment In the Refugio de San
Jose, by the archbishop, where the ev-
idence Of her infidelity Is made clear
to him. The husband, however, is re-,
quired to pay certain sum monthly or
quarterly to the sisters in charge Of
the convent for her support.
During. her Imprisonment a woman
IL not adlOwed to communicates with
people outside, or leave her cell with.
out permission from the mother super
Tor, and is required to perform relIg.
ious duties several hours a day. II
she shows signs of repentance and the
husband is willing to take her back, or
her parents agree to take charge OF
her. she may be released and return
to her home, with the approval of the
archbishop. There are a good many
stories about women who have been
improperly imprisoned in this institu.
tiOn by Jealous husbands.
There Is no such Institution for the
discipline of husbands who have been
unfaithful TO their wives. That goes
without saying. The woman; has al
ways been wrong, ever since that af-
fair of the apple Chicago Record.

view of,them was obtained while they
sat In the sun. Their bodies are COW
cred with long black hair. an6 they are
and their finger" nails resemble tall
ons. They put their arms around the
captains neck. and make noises ex-
pressive OF their fondness for tneir
friend. 1t was amusing as well as in
teresting to see them eat banana.
They carefully peeled the fru!:. and
then. with their teeth. scraped of aEy
parts OF the skin which adhered to the
fruit. They held 1t In their "hanls :
with the delicacy of lady, and quietly
bit off piece after piece. The captain
said they furnished considerable
amusement for the crew during the
voyage. They would eat food from the
hands OF any of the crew On days
when the weather was calm Biddy and
Nathan would walk hand IN hind
along the deck. seemingly enjoying the
sights. They never got sea sick. They
would lean over the rail of the boat
and watch the water much af-
ter the manner OF any other
ocean traveller Upon nearing
port they grew suspicious OF every
body. and the captain found IL neces-
sary to construct tent to inclose
them. Blddy and Nathan live Ia this
tent like a happy couple. When Biddy
complains OF the cold Nathan wraps
blanket around her and tucks 1t wcil
under her chin. The captain facetious-
y said they were so much like human
beings that he was afraid that they
would not pass the immigration com
missioners. It is believed that Capt.
sarchett will present his pets to the
Smithsonian institute.
