MAP OF PERU.

wicked and unjust sentence in 1896.
Santa Cruz was of pure Inca descent,
and very proud of 1t, his mother hav-
ing belonged to an Incas family of
high rank. Tho not a very successful
General, he possessed abilities of an
administrative character, and was of
much service to his country.
One of the best Presidents Peru ever
had was Don Manuel Pardo, an honest
and enlightened statesman, who did
much to improve its impoverished
finances, regulated Chinese immigration
to the coast valleys, advanced educa-
ton and encouraged literature. Peru's
last war was with Chile which resulted
in the loss of her valuable nitrate fields
and which threw her back many years.
The Country and It's Resourccs.
The present Republic Of Peru covers
an area of about 100000 square miles,
and is therefore as large as England,
France, Spain and Portugal together
Its west coast, washed by the Pacific
Ocean, has a line of 1900 miles, with
many beautiful and large harbors, many
Of which have acquired commercial i'm
portance. From the Pacific Ocean east
of the Cordilleras, and about 1000 feet
above the level of the sea, is a very
fertile belt of land 1900 miles long,
with an average width of $50 miles
which, not being sufficiently watered
by the rivers which come down from
the Andes, requires irrigation to obtain
the abundant crops OF cotton, sugar
cane, rice, corn, coffee. cocoa and other
tropical products which it Yields.
The climate of the coast region OF
Peru is a perpetual, mild and agreeable
Spring, perfectly healthy In the high
lands the region between the mountain
chains, which is about 5000 feet above
sea level, the climate is cold and dry.
Altho the soil is not very fertile here,
are largely cultivated. The potato, in
digenous to the soil of Peru, is here
produced in abundance These high
lands are also the grazing lands of
Peru, and large numbers of cattle are
raised there. the breeding Of sheep is
developing rapidly, and the amount of
wool exported increases yearly. The
lIamas, alpacas and vicunas. found ex-
ciusively in Peru and Bolivia, whose
wool is highly appreciated in foreign
markets, are to be found in large herds
in this part of the country. All over
this mountainous region lie the gold
silver, copper, lead, anthony and coal
mines, many of the veins being of ex-
traordinary size and uniform consis-
tency.
From the eastern slopes Of the Andes
TO the boundaries OF Peru ana Brazil
extends the forest region, which is in
parts very dense, intersected by streams
which flow into the Amazon, that largest
river in the world, with its IL tribu-
taries, each 1000 miles in length. The
fertility of this section is almost incon-
ceivable and beyond description. Vege-
tation is most luxuriant and vigorous.
The flora is wonderful and beautiful
Ferns of all kinds and exquisite flow
! ers mingle their beauty in the most
reckless prOdigality of production. Here
also are found variety of plants used
for medical, dyeing and tanning pur-
poses. India rubber of the finest quail

800 fighting regiments in "Regimental
Losses in the Civil War;" by Col. VIM
F. Fox. 1t, however, sustained heavy
losses. Col. Fox gives its loss at Chick
asaw Bayou, Miss, Dec. 27-29, 1862
as 10 killed, 10 wounded and 81 miss
ing, a total of $50. Its total loss dur
ing its service was seven officers and 6S

thoroly substantial, practical people.
yet a people not wholly Indifferent to
the relaxations of life, for we know
that they had their frequently recur-
ring festivals, their bards, and dramas
which were enacted before the SOW
ereign and his court.
The traditions of the Incas were
handed down from generation to gen.
Grafton by the wise men, who taught
them in the schools of Quito. and sta
tistics and records were also preserved
by means of the knotted cords. But
| this is poor material for history build
| ing. In the absence of all written doc
uments the study of their monuments
| becomes of the greatest importance IN
| studying their civilization. These ruins
show us what they did in architecture;
their reservoirs and aqueducts give us
an insight into their system of agr1cul-
ture; their bridges and roads make 1t
plain that they had much communlca-
ton with each other; their fortresseS
and other public works show numer-
Gus and industrious population, besides,
of course, showing many other impor-
tant things. These monuments also
throw much light on their customs
modes of life, political, social and do
nestle organizations. The remains of
their elaborate prisons indicate plainly
how they punished crime, and from the
ruins of their cities we can see how
closely the people must have been
crowded together in their narrow
homes We know the general charac-
ter of their household implements and
the material of which their clothing
was made; the tombs give us evidence
that they believed in future life. From
the monuments, therefore. of this re-
markable people, whose empire, with its
advanced civilization, was destroyed by
the Spanish conquest, we are able to
get fairly full record of their history,
and it is to be hoped that future re-
search and investigation may fill in the
now imperfect outlines.
Pizzaro, the Conquistndore.
The discoverer and principal hero in
the conquest of Peru was Francisco
PiZarro, the Legitimate son of GonZalo
| PiZarro, and a man of daring, adven-
| turous spirit. The news of the New
World filled him with wild dreams of
power, and in 1926 he and two other
Spaniards, true conquistadores, made a
compact to conquer and divide equally
among themselves the great, still I'M
discovered Southern Empire. Pizarro
and one of these, Almagros, started
with force of 100 men from Panama,

(By John A. Joyce.)

(By John A. Joyce.)
A traitor of the darkest dye
That ever lived beneath the sky,
Who murdered 1900 men
Within a filthy rebel pen.
A monster of such hideous mien
On earth before was never seen;
The devil himself could not compete
With such a villain, black complete.
To make a hero out of Wirz
Would desecrate the meanest ours,
And turn the wrong into the right
Dark as vile, plutonian night.

And scatter with a kissing groan
The monument that bears his name
A synonym of guilt and shame!

LAST OF PALACE OF ST. CLOUD.

The last vestige of the famous old
palace of st. Cloud has been removed
by the pulling down of the railway sta
ton reserved for distinguished and
royal visitors to the Emperor Napoleon
III and the Empress Eugene when in
residence in St. Cloud. As will be re-
membered by many tourist, the little
station was thickly overgrown with
grass and weeds. Birds had built their
nests in the imperial waiting room and
lusty young trees had grown up in the
reserved space around the station. No
train had stopped at it for thirty-seven
years. A Paris correspondent writes
that the last occasion on which the sta
ton was used was ON the day of the
French declaration of war on Germany,
when the officers of the imperial guards
were conveyed by special train to take
luncheon with the Emperor.-Boston
