In talking about the superstitons of the
Indians, Mr.. Wenburg said that they be-
lieve in witchcraft and that death is usually
occasioned by some one bewitching them.
When person dies his relatives and friends
are anxious that the witches should not
pursue the soul of the man after death. Not
long ago man died on the farm, and his
family came to the overseer and asked him
to take piece of paper with cross on the
top and to write below that: II have died
because l am bewitched by my enemies, and
| here pray to the Lord that may be free
from them in the future" This sheet of pa
per was put into the hand of the dead man
and was buried with him.
In the same connection Mr.. Wenburg
says that the Indians are very quiet as an
ordinary thing, but they may become en-
ragged and that when they fight they grow
savage. At such times man may even kill
and eat his victim. The Indian overseer
now on the farm belonged to family who
killed and ate man in that way. They then
threw his bones into the lake. This was
discovered, and, as punishment, the neigh
bors took away the land that belonged to
them
During my stay at Cerro de Pasco I
learned of a similar industrial movement
that is going on among the Indians of Peru.
The heads of this work are interdenomina-
tiona, and they come chiefly from Great
Britain and Canada. They have mission
station at Arequipa and large industrial
farm not far from Cuzco. The farm for
merly belonged to the Jesuits, but some
time after they were driven out OF the coun-

These Indians live in mud huts scattered
over the high plateau of the Andes Their
huts are without windows, and are lighted
only by the doors, which are so low that
one has to stoop to go in. They have
thatched roofs made of the grass of the
pampas Their only furnishings are the
skins of alpacas, llamas and sheep upon
which they sleep at night, and in some cases
a ledge of mud built up across one side of
the hut as bed. They cook in clay pots
over a fire of the droppings of llamas.
There are no chimneys and the smoke gets
out as it can.
Some of the Indians have flocks of sheep
and own alpacas and llamas. Now and then
you find one who has horses or donSeys and
cattle Some are independent squatters
having their huts out on the pampas, but
many more are the poems or debt slaves Of

In sailing down the west coast I came
from Lima to Mollendo, with Bishop Ho-
mer c. Stuntz, who has the general super
vision of the Methodist Episcopal missions
of South America with his headquarters at
Buenos Aires He tells me that there are
six North American Protestant missionary
boards on this continent. These are the
Methodist Episcopal, Southern Baptist,
Protestant Episcopal, Canadian Baptist,
Methodist Episcopal Church South and the
Presbyterian The church having the lar
gest force of missionaries is the Methodist
Episcopal and next to it is the Presbyterian.
Including the missionaries from Europe,
there are altogether about 1000 Protestant
missionary men and women, with more
than 1000 missionary stations and sub-sta-
tons They have altogether 10000 COM
municants and adherents which is not very
much in the population of 100000 or
more which South America now has. They
have 1913 day schools, and AZ high schools
with about 10000 pupils Among the in
stitutions doing mission work is the Saliva
ton Army, which has something like $4,000
adherents.

NEW CURRENCY
DESIGN SIMPLE
BUT ARTISTIC
EngraverS Working on Plates
for Three New Characters of
Paper Money to Be Issued in
Year.
BY VICTOR ELLIOTT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Because
of the inauguration of a new currency
system, Uncle Sans printers and en-
gravers in the bureau OF engraving
and printing are trying their skill in
producing an entirely new paper cur
rency. This currency will be of the
same size as the present circulation,
but more artistic and simple in design.
Although the demand for new issue
of paper money has been presented
to congress on different occasions dur
ing the past 16 years, the old cur
rency is still being duplicated at the
bureau.
During the administration Of Pres
ident Taft elaborate designs were sub
mitted TO Secretary of the Treasury
McVeagh for a complete change, but
no definite action was taken by con-
gress. The change in the size OF the
currency recommended then would
have saved the United States govern
ment about $1,000, 600 year in paper
consumed.
While official approval has not yet
been given to the new designs sub
mitted. it is known that they have
been met with favor by Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdOO and his assist
ants. 1t will probably be more than
a year before the new currency will
be placed in circulation.
Plan Three Characters.
The present plans Of the treasury
department contemplate three char
acters of paper money-the federal
reserve note, which is 10 displace the
emergency currency, the issue of
which was extended a year by the
new currency law; the federal bank
note, for issue as the circulation cur
rency medium of national banks; and
national bank notes to replace the
circulation of national banks that 90
not cancel their present circulation
and that take advantage Of all or a
part Of the 2O-year period for the re-
tirement OF all national circulation.
The new notes are 10 be made in
the values OF IS. $40. $40. $50. 800
and upwards The three divisions Of
paper currency are TO be similar IN all
respects. except that each will be
characterized by the engraved words
federal reserve currency" federal
bank currensy," or national bank
currency
The faces of the IS notes as de-
signed, bear the portraits OF President
Abraham lincoln in miniature on the
right hand side OF the note. The de-
nomination IS expressed in a large
Arabic numeral. one al each or the
four corners. There is a delicate and
beautiful border around the edge OF
the note leaving a wide expanse or
white in the center. The back OF
this note bears designs Illustrative OF
agriculture. At one end Of the note
is a scene depicting agricultural pur-
suits. At the opposite end is an ale
gorical group devoted TO the same
theme.
Simplicity Striking Feature.
The most striking feature OF the
new bills will be their simplicity.
Much Of the scroll and filigree work
so noticeable IN the present paper
currency will he entirely eliminated.
