COCA CHEWING in BOLIVIA.

South American Ballet In the HIysteri.
Gus Powers of tho Plant
The Indians regard the coca with
extreme reverence. Won Tschudi, the
Austrian scientist. who made q thor
ough study of the ancient customs OF
the Incas, says: During divine wor-
ship the priests chewed coca leaves,
and unless they were supplied with
them it was believed that the favor Of
the god could not be gained. 1t was
also deemed necessary that the suppli-
Gator for divine grace should approach
the priests with an 'acullico' in his
mouth. It was believed that any bust
ness undertaken without the benedic-
ton of coca leaves would not prosper,
and to the shrub itself worship was
rendered. During an interval of more
than 300 years Christianity has not
been able to subdue this deep-rooted
idolatry, for everywhere we find traces
of belief in the mysterious powers OF
this plant. The excavators in the
mines of Cerro del Pasco throw chew
ed coca upon the hard veins of metal,
renders it more easy to work. The IN
dams even at the present time put coca
leaves in the mouths of dead persons
in order to secure them a favorable re-
ception on their entrance into another
world, and when Peruvian on jour-
ney falls in with a mummy he, with
timid reverence, presents to it some
coca leaves as his pious offering" One
of the scientific explorers who has been
working up in this region told me
his experience with coca chewer. "A
man was employed by me-" he said,
Gin very laborious digging. During
the five days and nights he was in my
service he never tasted food and took
only two hours sleep each night, but
at intervals of two hours and half or
three hours he repeatedly chewed
about half an ounce of coca leaves and
kept an tacullico' continually in his
mouth. 1 was constantly beside him,
and, therefore, had the opportunity to
closely observe him. The work for
which had engaged him being finish
ed, he accompanied me on two days
Journey across the level ground.
Though on foot, he kept pace to my
mule and halted only for the chaccar
Chewing coca). In leaving me he de-
clared that he would willingly engage
himself again for the same amount OF
work and that he would go through
it without food if I would but allow
him sufficient supply of coca: The
village priest assured me that this man
was sixty-two years of age, and that
he had never known him to be i'll in
his life ''-Chicago Record.

TAKING DEATH MASKS.

One of the grimmest tasks that fall
to the lot of the sculptor is that of
taking death masks. This is often the
case where a statue is to be made of
the deceased, for the features are in
delibly and perfectly preserved by this
method.
Up to the last century it seems to
have been common custom to take
death masks, and there are a number
of celebrated collections of these relics
of some Of the great personages who
once made history. Charles l. and
Cromwell, his great rival, are pre-
served to us in. this way. There are a
few art works that have the fascina-
ton of these frozen lineaments, with
all the ruggedness and every scar pre-
served.
1t is very easy to make a mask. The
face is oiled and soft plaster pressed
down upon the countenance After
obtaining this mold it is only neces-
sary to fill it with melted wax to OBJ
tain perfect cast. Nollekens, the
celebrated sculptor of the last cen
fury, always mixed up his plaster and
had his kit ready when he saw the
death of any well-known person an
nounced, in case he should be sum-
moned to take mask. It was his
shrewdness that enabled Nollekens to
leave fortune of 81 ZOO, 900 when hs
died

a FORMER AMERICAN SAYS.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter, written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to. a friend in the United States,
is only one Of a hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good, sober and industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home in the
dominion.
Dear Sir: You want to know how l
got along since I came into Northern
Alberta. l am happy to inform you
that am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash,
on the 10th day of May, driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables, lSx
20 inside, so that we could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the list of December; but,
to our surprise, we had no use for the
stables only for the milk COW and two
spans of horses. The balance of the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to go into in cold time, but they
would not do it, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. 1 know all
of their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated
land, and doubled their animals, and
q great deal more All of us are COM
paratively out of debt and an unusual
ly big crop to thresh and prospects OF
a fair price, and l expect we are as
we'll contented a lot of people as there
is to be found from Florida to the
Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to
bind some barley we found that in
stead of taking two pounds to the acre
it was taking nearly five pounds. Then
you ought to have seen him hitch up a
team and make for town for 100 pounds
more. cannot say how it will thresh
All I can say is that it is well-headed
and takes an enormous amount OF
Irvine.

Of Deeside may be selected for citation
here: "The great delight of her girl
hood were the visits to Balmoral,
where she would scour the hills on her
mountain pony. Many stories have I
heard in the Highlands about the fear
less riding of Princess Alix. One
morning she was riding in a strong
wind, which carried her hat literally
over the hills and far away, and she
arrived at the keepers house in the
forest with her hair streaming down
her back and a pocket handkerchief
tied over her head. The keepers wife
was terribly concerned to see the
queens granddaughter arriving in such
| a plight, but Princess Alix enjoyed the
fun. She borrowed comb and hair
pins, and having reduced her stray
locks to order, again assumed the
pocket handkerchief for head-gear, and
in it galloped hope to the castle. Prin-
cess Alix and her sisters visited freely
amongst the cottages at Balmoral, and
had many adventures in their rambles
about the shores of the Dee. Their
great delight was village shop a short
distance from the castle, kept by an
old lady named Mrs. Symonds. This
ancient worthy had her shop stocked
with all kinds of oddments such as
children delight in-fshing tackle,
balls, tam-oshanter caps-and further
more she sold sweetmeats and cakes.
The shop has been for many years the
rendezvous of the queens Juvenile Wis
itors, and it is to many of them novel
delight to be able. to go and make
little purchases for themselves without
form or ceremony. The empress of
Russia, when she visited Balmoral aft
FER her marriage, showed that she cher
ished a loving recollection of her old
haunts, for the very first place she
visited on the morning after her ar
rival was the shop. She brought the
czar with her, quite in girlish mood
to see, as she said, if Mrs. Symonds
would know who he was. She also
went one afternoon and took tea with
the keepers wife in the house in the
wood, and talked about the time when
she had come riding there without her
hat" Even when she was Is the fu-
ture empress 'stook delight in reading

marked gentleman in the banana

went into the country myself was as
the representative of an American ma

for us in one of the republics, but the
tariff was prohibitive, and I concluded
to go over to the capital and have an
interview with the minister of agri-
