Peruvians as Engineers.

Next to the Romans, the ancient
Peruvians We're perhaps the most eff
Gent civil engineers. Their roads were
marvellous, and one, the highway from
Quito into the Chilean dominion, was
one of the most remarkable roads the
world has ever known.
1t was twenty feet wide and two
thousand miles in length, passing over
snow-capped mountains, through can
yons cut for miles through the solid
streams and rivers. The feat of con-
structing this road might well try the
skill of our best modern engineers.

HOW DO WE KEEP OUT OF JAIL9
Question Suggested by the Multi

Question Suggested by the Multi
pIicity of New Laws.
What this country needs is not more
laws, but a better enforcement of those
we have"
An exemplifeation of this statement,
recently made by a public speaker, is
furnished by the present legislative sea-
son now about to close. During this
years sessions of Legislatures in sixteen
States no less than 1S,700 bills were in
troduced. OF this number 5,S31 were
passed and most of therl will become laws
by the signature of the Governors.
The average number of bills intro
duced in each State was 1,169, and the
average number passed 1854. Assuming
that this is a fair average for each of
the States in the Union, the total num-
Der Of bills introduced in all States this
year would be 52,6O5, and the total num-
Der passed 1880.
Think of having to comply with over
over 10000 new lawsl 1t is a wonder
that anyone keeps out of Jail. Every
lawyer must have a headache at the pros
pect of having to scan them. AS for
Lord Cowper, the English iurist, he GER
tainly will turn over in his grave il lie
hears of this years output of the law
"foundries." He wasn't backward in Civ
ing his opinion of the multiplicity of laws
even 200 years ago.
II am further of opinion" he said on
one occasion, that it would be better
for us to have no laws at all than to have
them in so prodigious numbers as we
have"
Minnesota leads the list in the number
Of bills introduced. its lawmakers having
had to consider 2.13i measures. OF these
562 received approval.
Pennsylvania is a close second, the
number of bills introduced and passed,
respectively. being 2,10T and 773.
Rhode Island holds the palm for the
smallest number of bills offered, its So
Ions having had to consider only AS.
Utah gets the record for the smallest
number Of bills that become laws, only
90 Of the $50 introduced looking good"

HOW ENGLISH LIVE IN INDIA

Club at Every Station-Servants and
Prices at the Markets.
The Indian club is a unique institu'
ton; there is nothing like it anywhere
else. In a small station it is the one
rendezvous for all the men and wom'
en- in the neighborhood. Punctually al
) o'clock, when the sun begins to lose
its power, nearly every one moves club
ward. The glaring white road, until
then occupied only by an occasional
bullock handy with its native driver
suddenly becomes the scene of the ut
most animation, dogcarts, carriages
ponies and bicycles all following one
another in the same direction.
Play and chat are at once the order
Of the day. While some indulge in GRO
quet or Badminton, others ill the ten
mis- courts, which are provided with
number of little brown faced boys who
run about and pick up the balls. When
the light fails, two groups are formed
in the compound; the women sit and
gossip over their iced drinks, while
the men cluster around the peg table
Finally, the club building itself is en-.
tered, and cards and billiards are en-.
ioyed under the punkah until it is time
to go home and dress for dinner.
Nothing is more striking on ones
first visit to the club, says writer In
the Lady, than the extraordinary high
spirits one meets on every side. So,ne
say they are forced, Others that they
are due to the lightness and brightness
of the air, but certainly such jokes
and laughter are not heard elsewhere.
Tragedy may lie underneath, but on
the surface all is merriment. Almost
every one is yopng, and all are ready
for little cenlpanionship and amuse-
ment after the long hot hours spent in
office or bungalow. 1t is this friendly
intercourse with one another which An
glo-Indians miss so much when they
first return to England and have to put
up with the aloofness of county society
or the limitations of suburbia.
Then India is the ideal country for
visiting. Each visitor arrives at a
friends bungalow with his own SER
wants and ponies. Native servants are
responsible for their own meals of cur
ry and rice, and curl themselves up
in rug to sleep in any available cor
ner, so are no trouble to another per-
sons household. The butler. who knows
your likes and dislikes better than you
do yourself, makes it his special duty
to see that no home comforts are lack
ing, and is always particularly gener-
Gus with a strange masters" foods.
If there are many visitors, the ar
ray of smart beturbaned buffers in the
diningroom is most imposing, and the
waiting is done as If by magic
There are certain advantages in liv-
ing in a country where houses are
cheap, servants are cheaper and meat
can be bought for Cd pound. BY GU
rious native arrangement there is no
fixed standard of prices for articles of
food sold in the bazaar. The mem-sa-
bib pays much or little, according to
the salary earned by her husband,
which is always known to penny.

There was a startling herceness in the
voice of the trooper that reached the
heart, even amid the horrors of the cot
tage. The leader of the SINNERS dropped
his plumber, and, for moment, he stood
in nerveless dread then rushing to win
dow, he threw up the sash; at this point
Lawton entered, saber in hand, into the
apartment.
Die, miscreant !" cried the trooper,
cieaving a marauder to the jaw; but tne
leader sprang into the lawn and escapeu
his vengeance The shrieks or the le
males restored Lawton to his presence Oh
mind. One more of the gang fell IN with
the dragons. and met his death; but the
remainder had taken the alarm IN season.
Occupied with Sarah, neither Miss SIN
gieton nor the ladies of the house had as
covered the entrance of the SINNERS,
though the flames were raging around
them. The shrieks of Katy and the terri
fed consort of Caesar, together with the
noise and uproar in the adjacent apart
ment first reused Miss Peyton and lsa-
bella to sense of their danger.
"Merciful Providence ~ exclaimed the
alarmed aunt there is dreadful con-
fusion in the house, and there will be
bloodshed in consequence of the affair. "
Frances was left alone with her sister.
A few minutes were passed in silence,
when q loud crash in the upper apart
ments was succeeded by a bright light
that glared through the open door. Sarah
raised herself on her bed, and staring
wildly around, pressed both her hands on
her forehead, endedvoring to recollect
herself.
This, then, is heaven-and you are
one of its bright spirits. Oh how glori-

Successful Book Agent.

The most successful book canvasser
in the United States is a woman. She
is a Russian, and came over here ten
years ago, unable to read or write En-
glish. Now she is earning $4,000 a
year selling special limited editions"
for a Philadelphia house. This woman
thinks it nothing to sell set of books
for $4,000, of which she receives 40
per cent The books, of course, are
supposed to be bound in covers of spe-
cial design, the paper, printing, and
Illustrations are of the finest, and the
edition is said to be limited. The wom-
an sells the books mostly to wealthy
women. She drives up to their homes
in a magnificent carriage, attended by
. footman in livery. She never fails
to impress the prospective customer
with her refinement, and frequently
poses as a Russian countess. There is
hardly society woman in the country
who has not purchased a set of books
from this woman.

The principal witness in the case of

York on the charge Of conspiracy in con-

was Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
identified letter he had addressed to the
President after the alleged leak in the
cotton reports, declaring the charge false.
He admitted that Holmes had written
part of this letter, but said he had made
an addition to it. The attorney for the
defense called Wilson's attention to the
fact that at the time Of the exposure
charges were circulated in the press
against the Secretary as being personally
responsible for the leak.

The greatest enmity is displayed to-

Hundred of head of cattle have been
driven Off In some instances the half
crazed farmers have formed cattle
manning bands and proceeded at mid
night to mutilate the grazing cattle by
hamstringlng them or cutting their
threats. In some cases cattle have
been tied together by their tails and
the animals struggled until one or the
other had its tail pulled out by the
roots. Unpopular landlords and Off
Gals serving writs have been waylaid
