Peru's History,

The shortest history on record
probably has been written by Senior
Carlos Escribans, a Peruvian. 1t is
only 100 words in length. Follow
ing is the English translation:
"The Asiatic origin of the prim-
tive Peruvians admitted, their rudi-
mentary civilization ended with the
appearance of Nance Capac, found
er of the inca empire. His thirteen
successors, continuing his policy,
constituted that vast theocratic and
communistic monarchy which as
tonished the world. Conquered by
Pizarro Q53s), it became Spanish
colony, whose fourteen viceroys
kept it in medieval darkness and
whose heavy yoke provoked the in
dependence proclaimed by San Mar
tin Q82D, cemented by Bolivar and
Sucre at Junin and Ayacucho. The
republic established, anarchy super
vened, presidents rapidly succeeded,
until the disastrous war with Chile,
which, Christening minds, has pre-
pared the future"

Throwing Old Shoes.

The custom of throwing one or
more old shoes after the bride and
groom when they go to the church
or when they start on their wedding
tour is so old that the memory of
man stretches not back to the be-
ginning. Some believe it is lin
gering trace of the custom among
savage nations of carrying away the
bride by violence. Others think it
is a relic of the ancient law of ex-
change or purchase and that it for
merly implied the surrender by the
parents of all dominion or author
ity over the daughter.
1t was a Jewish custom. In Deu-
teronomy XIV, $40, it is found that
the widow refused by the surviving
brother asserted her independence
by '1oosing his Shoes" and in the
story of Ruth it is told that it was
the custom in exchange to deliver
shoe in token of remuneration. 1t
was the custom in ancient times to
place the husbands shoe at the head
of the nuptial couch in assertion of
his domination and that he assum-
ed the government of the house
hold.

Curious Smoking Contests.

In Rhenish Westphalia singular
custom prevails. At stated inter-
walls the veteran smokers in each
district assemble in large public
hall and compete for prizes, which
are awarded to those among them
who can smoke the longest.
Each competitor is provided with
a long pipe which has colossal
bowl. Exactly the same quantity
of tobacco is put into each bowl,
and after this operation is perform
ed matches are lit and at given
signal the contest begins. Each
competitor is allowed as much to-
bacco as he can consume, and the
prize is awarded to the one who
continues smoking after all the 9TH
ers have stopped.
In order to guard against suffoca-
ton all the windows in the hall are
opened, yet even then the smoke is
generally so dense that persons who
are not used to tobacco are unable
to endure it. Indeed, at a recent
contest the smoke issued from the
open windows in such volume that
the local fire brigade thought the
building was on fire and promptly
deluged it and the unsuspecting
smokers with water.

He Took the Beer.

Not long ago Professor N. r.
Leonard, who was called recently to
the presidency of the mining college
at Butte, Mon, feeling indisposed,
consulted his physician, German,
very scientific and acknowledged as
one of the leading men in his pro-
fession in Montana. The doctor
advised Mr.. Leonard to work less
at the desk, exercise more outdoors
and take beer as tonic, something
the professor had never cared for.
The doctor met his patient a few
days later as he was leaving the col
lege and stopped to inquire how he
was feeling.
"About the same," replied the
professor.
"Did you take beer as / directed ?"
inquired the physician.

"T took it a few times, but it be-

"Why, l bought whole bottle

An UnsoIved Problem.

Mrs. Emmons Blaine of Chicago,
whose scheme of employing servants
by relays and only for certain pre-
scribed hours attracted such atten-
ton few months ago, has had to
give it up. Report has it that after
faithfully testing the plan Mrs
Blaine retired to the country this
summer, a perfect wreck-utterly
worn out through her efforts to
solve the servant question in way
hailed by theorists as the'only saliva
tion both for maid and mistress.
Somewhat recuperated," says the
New York Sun, "Mrs. Blaine will
venture back to Chicago this win
ter, but her house, the scene of the
late domestic experiments, will re-
main closed. She has taken an
apartment. Her meals will be taken
at restaurant, and whatever serv-
ice she requires will be performed
by the attendants of the apartment
house. 1t begins to look as if the
only way to get rid of the servant
question was to get rid of the serv-
ants. p"

His Protest,

The following story is told Of a

Of breath: He was a bad actor as
well as a fat one, and the gallery
guyed him a little while he went
through his part in a military
drama. He kept his temper fairly

dead. His supposed corpse was
stretched out on the stage, but did
what no respectable corpse is ex-
pected to dot painted.

piled, Respect the dead"

The Freed Serfs.

The suddenness with which the
Russian serfs were transformed into
freemen on March 3, 1861, is indi-
Gated by the story told of Russian
nobleman who happened to be trav-
cling and, having forgotten the
date, was awakened at midnight by
his servants, who said they would
then take their leave of him, as they
were free.
The gentleman found that he
was left in the middle of forest on
a dark night. The servants consid-
erately, before they left him, pointed
out the direction in which his route
lay. The coachman warned him to
be careful of the horses, as they did
not like being driven in the foresc
in the dark. Then, bidding adieu
to his excellency, his late serfs dis
appeared in the forest.
1t is interesting to recall that
Lincoln was inaugurated president
of the United States the day follow
ing the emancipation of the serfs of
Russia.

TADP0LES AND FROGS.
Their Adventures During Infancy and

'1ooks like small black bead. Grea.
numbers of these are found togeth-

and development begins. In the
course of a week or two the tiny
tadpoles squirm free and swim
away into the pond. If taken from

exchange places with them. Lungs

water as his lungs grow more lung

goes to no school save that of daily
experience. Today fish may teach
him how to dodge or his own grand
father give him a lesson in deep

ers that he lodges or dives. The
main business of the day is eating
or being eaten. If he escapes the
latter for six weeks or two months,
the common frog finds himself pos
sessed of two hind legs, later of
two front ones. Then his tadpole
days are over, and he enters into
the state of froghood. ."-"Country

Why You Have a Nose.

Very few people know how to
breathe properly, and those that do
know seldom do it. Oxygen is the
one indispensable thing for the
maintenance of health and life, and
the only way we get it is by breath
ing it in the air.
We must breathe in the right
way, however, not only to get the
necessary supply of oxygen, but to
keep out certain impurities that
either bring diseases directly or pre-
pare the system to fall an easy vic
tim to them.
The most important thing per-
haps is to form the habit of breath
ing through the nostrils. The air
should be made of nearly the same
temperature as the blood before it
is taken into the lungs, and its pas
sage over the network of blood ves-
sells in the mucous membrane of the
nasal canals gives it the necessary
heat.
Besides, the air always contains
dust particles, and if we breathe it
in through the mouth we run the
risk of the irritation and infection
that such particles often produce.
In breathing through the nostrils,
on the contrary, we draw in the air
gently along system of winding
canals, and this not only moderates
its temperature, but purifes it at
the same time.

A JUDGES OPINION OF WOMEN

Which is the truthful sex, or, to
modify, which is the less truthful
sex? Magistrate Mott says:
"There's this difference between
man and a woman: When a wom-
an thinks thing is so, she is ready
to swear to it. But it's different
with a man. He doesn't swear to
anything unless he knows it"

ance he hadn't succeeded in draw
ing down upon his aged head the
wrath of the feminine. But a storm

The Hiqh Mountains.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the as
cent of the highest peaks on the
face of the earth is the conviction
that man cannot withstand the rare
fed air of these attitudes. 'Hero-
ism shrinks from such prolonged
sufferings as those due to lack of
health" His own experiment and
observations, however, give us as
surance that man will be able slow
ly to accustom himself to the dimin-
ished barometric pressure of the
Himalayas. ''If Birds" he says, "hy
to the height of $4,000 feet, man
ought to be able to reach the same
altitude at slow rate of progress. "
