as il to attach them in front Of some
object. There was also wooden bowl,
carved with a border representing birds
running around its rim, packed full of
layers of variously colored alpaca and
vicuna wool, in perfect preservation.
To us the graves of the child num-
mics are most interesting. Each con-
tains some primitive playthings, rude
specimens of knitting, often showing
places where stitches have been drop
ped; tiny spindles, and braids of irregu-
lar thickness. evidently kept for the
sake of contrast with others better
done. A girl mummy's body was wrap
ped precisely like her mothers; hair
braided and laid around the forehead,
with cincture of white cloth, orna-
mented with little silver spangles; and
narrow bracelets of silver hung on her
fleshless arms. In one such grave
saw the dead body of a parrot at the
little girls feet, which had doubtless
been her pet. In boy mummy's tomb
was his beloved sling, bound around his
forehead; and baby mummy, embed
ded in alpaca wool in queerly braided
basket of rushes, with loops at each
end for handles, had rattle beside
the little body-a sea-shell with pebbles
inside. the orifice closed with pitch
like substance.
Having spent long day at mummy
hunting, we rode back to africa, across
the desert in the gathering twilight,
somewhat awed by what we had seen
and by thoughts naturally induced OF
the mutability of all things earthly;
but feeling ourselves immeasurably
richer, not only by reason OF the two
| mummies before mentioned, but with a
treasure-trove of pet1ified eye-balls,
spindles, combs, needles, water-Jars
and a carved wooden face to add to my
already heterogeneous collection at
home.

A ROUGH VOYAGE.

In our report last week of the pre-.
vailing northeaster, mention was made
of the departure of the steamer Hall
fax for Halifax in the teeth of the
storm. She arrived at her destination
all right and the Acadian Recorder of
Halifax gives the following report of
the trip:
She had remained at her dock at Bos-
ton until Z O'Clock Sunday morning, but
came to anchor at quarantine at 1890,
when the weather showed some signs
of improvement, (and she pr0ceeded),
but it was only for short time, and
outside she met tremendous seas which
continued almost to Sambro, the ship
being 40 hours battling against the
waves, but as is true in many gales in
which she has met before, she came
through without even closing rope
yarn, and her passengers were just as
safe as in their houses, and Capt. Ellis
and her officers gave every evidence OF
their great ability as navigators.
1t was one of the toughest trips she
had ever experienced, and she was "a
hours coming full speed against the sea
to Seal Island, after which there was
some abatement, but opposite Little
Hope it was worse than ever. One of
the officers said to-day that with every
dip her bow went clear under, while
at times her pilot house was as
dark as night. The D. A. R. steamer
Prince Arthur met her coming out of
Boston bay. Her officers said: ''She was
plunging into every comber, so that
her keel could almost be seen. At
times she was clear out of sight"

he told me not to spend the shilling,
