Masonic Heirloom.

Probably the oldest Masonic apron In
existence is an heirloom in the pos
session of Slade Lazelle, a farmer, near
Caro-.
The apron is of red silk and was
given Mr.. Lazelle by his father, George
LaZelle, who was Thirty
degree Mason and a member of the
order for Ga years. The present owner
of the apron joined the order in
Clinton county in 1865.
His father caused its history to be
printed on the white back, and the
apron though 119 years old, is still in a
good state of preservation. .-Cass City

With genuine concern he expressed his

Gently that he was so uninteresting a

so little material for an article concern

seem to realize that he has lived the
things that romancers and playwrights

thrilling; that the melodramatist and the
writer of tales of modern romance can

His vision of himself is that of an ear

He comes of A line that has SO served.
Ills progenitors for generations have fig

And yet In personal appearance Sir
Cecil looks not at all like that naughty
figure that the American public mind has
pictured as the typical diplomatist. As
matter of fact, few diplomatists do.

he thought he was proof against fur
Their trouble. He walked six miles that
day, and then spent an hour in the club
bowling alleys. At the same time he ate
like a Virginia raZor-back hog. and the
result is that he has now A beautiful
case OF soroche. He is the color of Cana
dian cheese. he does not take three steps
without resting and he loathes all man

came with me, says that his head began
to ache during the night, and his pulse
jumped to 40. The soroche affected his
feet. and they kept rising and falling I'M
der the bed clothes. a young mining en-
gineer who came here last week
to the mines. This sent his pulse to 12o
and he was kept in bed for a week.
Growing no better, he went down to
Lima to spend a while on the coast. On
his way back he will stop at Matucana
at the S.OO0-foot level, and then take
easy stages higher up to the mines
1 have talked with the doctors here
as to the cause of the soroche. They say
1t comes from the rarity of the air and
the lack of oxygen in the amount of air
taken in by your ordinary working ma
chinery. The system has been accustom-
ed to a certain percentage of oxygen
with each breath You breathe just
as fast here as at the coast. but
you get less oxygen, and as a re-
suit your blood becomes impure and

ing administration. This goes on I'M
til you finally have the soroche. If it is in
your head you have headache, if in the
stomach nausea and If in the bowels you
have diarrhea. The pressure is very
much less here than at the seacoast. At
Lima it is about fifteen pounds to the
square inch and here it is less than nine
pounds. 1t is so light that it affects
everything. 1t takes six minutes to soft
boil an egg, and you may boil beans all
day and not have them cooked through.
Many of the wiseacres disregard what
the doctors say when they first come to
the mountains. They do not take the
ordinary precautions. and the result is
pneumonia or serious soroche. The other
day We had a doctor visitor who was told
he must not go out without his coat. He
replied that his business was medicine
and he knew what to do. He then straight
way trotted about in the rain. The result
was he got pneumonia and within four
days he was taken back to the coast in
a coffin. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

heavy load over the road. She bends half
double as she goes OF a dos-trot, and

Very few of the women are beautiful,
and they all look dirty and rather re-
pulsive. They start carrying loads While
they are children, and I see girls only as
tall as my waist with babies strapped to
their backs. The people are very strong,

piano. They would not raise it with their
hands, but tied ropes to the legs and then
pulled on the ropes over their shoulders
until they were able to lift the piano to
their backs After that they trotted on
up the hill.
Cerro de Pasco has plaza, about
which the chief buildings face. There
is a church at one side. and as 1 went
through l saw here $50 llamas lying
down on the stones and resting. Each
beast had package of ore strapped
to his back: they had probably come in
from the mines and were on their way
to the smelter. They will carry mer-
chandise to the homes of their owners.
AS l looked. some of the llamas got up.
They rest very much like camels, put
ting their knees under them and sit

the beasts were chewing their cuds, and

animals look somewhat like an ostrich.
They are as observing as fox terrier
and turn their heads this way and that
for every new thing in sight. Their
wool looks like that Of the Angora
goat, but it is coarser. 1t is used
chiefly by the natives, and is not eX-
ported.
Taking ponies in company with Mr..
J. T. Gldden, the assistant superin-
tendent of the Cerro de Pasco mines, /
rode through the city, visiting the out
skirts and some Of the native mines.
Cerro de Pasco is situated on a great
shell of rock, from beneath which
several hundred millions of dollars
worth of silver and vast fortunes in
copper have been taken. and from where
they are taking millions more now.
The streets and back yards are honey
combed with mine holes. many of
Americans have bought what they could,
but some of the miners would not sell.
They keep on burrowing away, taking
out the ore by old-f ashioned methods
and carrying it to the surface in raw
hide sacks, laced together with thongs.

midst of the houses. with people liv-
ing so close that a baby crawling out

part of the population of the republic. 1t
is divided up into enormous haciendas
and other lands, upon which are squatters
who have great herds of cattle and sheep
They also raise some barley, and in the
deep valleys that sink down into the
plateau are regions growing all kinds of
temperate and tropical fruits. We are
here just about as far south of the equa-
tor as Panama is north of it, but at this
altitude of almost three miles in the air
the climate is more like Canada than
that of Jamaica. There are frequent
snowstorms in the winter, and at night
the thermometer then goes down almost
to zero. In the summer 1t rains in the
afternoon. but the mornings are clear
and for about six months of the year the
sun shines all the day through.
I shall first show you something Of the
native parts of Cerro de Pasco The
town has about 5000 Cholo and Indian
residents. The most of them live in
one story houses that are made of adobe
and plaster outside The buildings are in
blocks, walling the streets. They are
painted in the brightest of coiors. One
house may be bright green, the next may
be blue, and the next red or golden yell
low or white The houses have roofs Of
out over the sidewalks There are no
drains from the roofs. and when 1t rains
the water pours down the back of your
neck as you go through the streets. The
sidewalks are narrow, and the principal
roadways are paved with cobbles, with a
gutter of slabs about ten inches wide and
six inches deep that runs through the
middle of the street. They do not put
the cutters at the sides of the roadway
as at home. The streets all slope to the
center, and the sewage runs off through
this gutter.
AS l walked through the town, l OBJ
served that the woodwork was freshly
painted. and the American who was with
me told me that the law is that all
houses facing the street must be painted
once every two years. If they are not,
the owners are fined. He said that the
painting time had just passed, and
therefore the city looked fresh :.

eigners who live here in the Andes
tell me they are healthy, and that this
is SO of men, women and children.
There are. however, some who come
and many are afflicted with pneumonia
and have to be sent back post haste
on special trains. l know of employees
who have come up three or four diff
ferent times. and going, down sick. have
at last had to give up in despair.
AS to soroche. or the mountain sick
ness, that seems to attack every one
when he first reaches an altitude of
two miles or more above the sea. Every
foreigner I have met has been more or
less afflicted with it. 1t usually comes
the first day after the arrival. and may
last two or three days or two weeks.
Those who have weak hearts are likely
to drop insensible, and it sometimes
causes death. AS a rule, most people
get over 1t. although 1t will return at
any overexertion or imprudence, and
that after months Of freedom and
health.

The first symptoms of this illness are
pains in the head and nausea Then
comes vertigo. dimness of sight and

the blood may flow from your eyes, nose
and lips. Those who have weak lungs

call him eel Gringo Kubio." which means
the Red Gringo. The manager of the
mines Is Mr.. w. J. Hamilton, who made
a reputation in the far west, and who is
said to receive here a salary tWo-th1rdS
as large as that of President Wilson.
All of these men are well paid. They are
employed on contracts of two years. and
1t costs $500 or more to pay their travel
ing expenses from the United States to
the mines.
Many Of these foreign employees have
their wives and families with them. and
SO far have not met one man or woman
who is not pleased with his or her lot.
The company does everything it can to
make life agreeable, and the people live
almost as well as at home.
In the first place, both the smelter
and the mines have hotels built of
stone, with bathrooms and all modern
conveniences, put up for the employees
who are bachelors. They get room and
board for $25 per month. The married
employees have comfortable stone cot
tages, and they can buy their foreign
supplies at the company store. At both
La Fundicion and Cerro de Pasco there
are clubhouses, with libraries and read
ing rooms supplied with the latest
magazines and papers. ana also bowling
alleys, billiard halls and rooms for en-
tertainments and dances. They have
tennis courts. where they play matches.
and base ball grounds, where the smelter
employees sometimes contest with those
of the mines on the diamond. In ad-
dttion to this there are pony riding
into the country and excursions to
the tropical valleys. The foreign set

reply to a letter signed by a man named
MurchisOn who wrote as a British-born
naturalized citizen asking If British in
terests would be served by the reelection
Of Cleveland and the establishment of a
freer trade. The minister was trapped
into replying in the affirmative and the
letter. which had been political decoy
promptly was given wide publicity by the
opponents of President Cleveland.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, later Lord
Pauncefote. followed Sackville-West in
the British legation, and Sir Cecil's
greater service as secretary was under
him. The present ambassador testifies
to the worth and ability of this famous
diplomatist. who was SO popular in
America. Certainly relations between
the United States and Great Britain be-
came very much more cordial during the
long Pauncefote stay than they had
been before in the history of the nations.
Sir Cecil looks upon his former chief as
