Funerals In Peru.

According to social usage, women in
Peru cannot attend funerals, and they do
not appear at weddings unless they are
very intimate friends. When a funeral
procession passes through the streets, the
coffin is carried upon the shoulders of the
pallbearers, who are followed by an
empty hearse drawn by two, four or six
horses, according to the means of the
mourners and their desire for display. All
the male members of the family and
friends of the deceased follow on foot,
with line of empty carriages behind
them. AS long as they are in the presence
Of the dead it is considered proper and
necessary evidence of respect to walk.
After the body has been committed to the
grave those who attend the funeral are
brought home in carriages.

brought out of the cave let me tell you
what we took out in the five weeks we
were at work. The tusks counted up
1873, the boxes of silver 307, the barrels
of wine ga, the kegs of wine ITO, the
bales of fur Ga, the bales of shawls and
silks 100, the boxes of coined gold of
native Indian money 81, and there
was $4,000 to the box. In addition to
these we found two boxes of pearls, ru-
bies, diamonds, ETC., most of them I'M
cut, which l roughly valued at $780,
600. On a certain evening when we
knocked off work figured the value of
gems already taken out at $1,5OO,O0O
and there was yet week S work to re-
move the rest. The day had been hot
and sitting and the work harder than
usual. The cook was half an hour late
in rubbing his eyes open, and he had
hardly reached his feet when his shout
of surprise alarmed the rest of us. At
some hour during the night and so
quietly that not man of us had been
disturbed the waters had retreated in
every direction from the shores of the
island until there was only the bed of
the sea to look at. Here and there
deep hole created little lake, but one
could have walked for six or eight
miles without wetting his feet. AS the
waters retired our craft had gone with
them, never to be heard of more.
/ had lived in the east too long not to
know what was coming. We were as
high as we could get and could only
wait for the peril. 1t came as the sun
rose. We heard booming, roaring and
crashing and next minute caught sight
of a tidal wave sweeping in. That
wave was 20 feet high, and as it rolled
across the island from north to south
It's foamy crest was only 80 feet below
where we stood. There were three
waves, each moving at speed of 100
miles an hour, and then the sea settled
down to it's usual level and soon grew
quiet. A thousand acres of forest had
been swept away and the whole face
Of the island changed in a moment.
Our spring and our camp had been left
untouched, but there was no longer
cavern, no longer bale of goods, no
longer brig laden with a kings ran
som. An earthquake at sea, mighty
convulsion of nature 500 miles away,
had robbed us of brig, crew and treas
ure and left us on an almost desolate
rock to wait for passing craft.

THE KING PROCLAIMED.
Medieval Ceremonies In the City Of
London.


Medieval Ceremonies In the City of
London.
Londoners awoke on Thursday morn
ing to find the route between st. James
palace and the city lined with troops
numbering about 10000. After the proc
lamation at st. James palace the Off
Gals took carriages for Temple Bar, es-
corted by a detachment of horse guards,
a picturesque procession.
The contingent from the College of
Arms comprised three kings-at-arms,
four heralds and eight pursuivants The
costumes of the heralds and pursuivants
were gorgeous beyond compare. They
wore tabards, heavily embroidered with
gold silk lions, the royal coat of arms
and flowers in bewldering confusion.
There was the rouge dragon, the blue
mantle and the maltravers, with all the
armorial bearings of the College of Arms.
AT Temple Bar silken line across the
street where the griffin stands marked
the city barrier.
AS the clock struck the appointed time
the officer in command o. the troops gave
an order, and the rifle stocks came down
with a click upon the pavement, and two
gold laced trumpeters appeared at the
gritfin's side. The lord mayor nd sher-
ifs, mace bearers, chaplain, remem-
brancer and the white wigged judges of
the city courts left their carriages and
grouped themselves together between the
lines of troops
Then the city marshal rode up to the
barrier.
The Norrey king-at-arms, whose green
and gold tabard outshone those of his
colleagues, appeared at the imaginary
bar, and his trumpeter blew shrill blast,
which the lord mayors trumpeter an
swered.
The city marshal demanded:
"Who goes thereT
The Norrey king-at-arms replied:
'The kings herald to read the procla-
nation"
"Enter, herald,' said the marshal, and
conducted him to the losd DsayST and al
dermen, who were sti1l grouped in the
street.
The herald then read the proclamation.
The trumpeters blew a blast, while the
crowd stood bareheaded and silenced.
Then military band struck mp "God
Save the King" and the crowd eeok up
the words.
The procession now advanced by way
of Ludgate hill to the Royal Exchange, in
front of which the final proclamation was
to be made. The square before the ex-
change, with the prisonlike walls of the
Bank of England on one side and the off
cial residence of the lord mayor on the
other, was a sober stage setting that be-
fitted the ceremony. There were no dec
orations except flags at half mast, save
the city's red cross on a white field over
the Mansion House.
A flourish of trumpets imposed silence
on the throng. AS the lord mayor, I'M
covering, stepped forward all hats came
off. The lord mayor read the warrant of
the priyy council to the herald, and as he
closed with the words, Ellis majesty
King Edward VII" the crowd for the
first time cheered feebly, but without
unison.
Then the herald again read the proela-
nation. When he raised his voice at the
end and shouted, God save the king!"
the populace responded heartily with
cheers, many people echoing the shout
and waving their hats.

When Harry Houdini, the American

he tried to arrange for an exhibit of
his skill at Scotland Yard, but the

London manager, he paid an ordinary
call as an American visitor to the
police headquarters. Mr.. Houdini
after making the usual remarks on
everything he saw and heard, casually
asked question about a pair of hand
cuffs. The guide took them down and
answered:
ooh. these are handouts impossible
to remove"
Houdini was greatly interested, and
the incident closed by the American
visitor requesting his guide to lock the
handouts on his wrists. Then he
turned his back and succeeded in get
