Remains of Pizano, Fiuidir if

By E. C. Rest.
IN (he famous ancient enlhedrnl of
Limn. Peru, arc on exhibition the
remains of Captain-General Don
Francisco Plzarrn, who founded Li
ma January 18, I .".".A. These remains
are contained In a white marble coffin,
with a glass front, thus exposing to
view the well preserved remains with
in. The eoltln •stands in a niche or
more properly a vault, entrance to
which is had through a massive iron
harred iloor. To view these remains
one must fall into the good graces of
an attendant in the cathedral, who for
one sol (llfty eentsi opens the iron
doors, llghls a candle and by this
light flic remains are examined.
It was my ambition to obtain a pho
tograph of these remains, perhaps of
greater historic Interest Ilian all else
In South America. Piznrro was at once
the founder of Lima (if not of South
America), conqueror of the ancient and
highly civilized Incas, and may lie re
garded as one of the most brutal of all
warriors. It required some very strong
Influence to procure the desired per
mission, and it was only after an ap
peal to my good friend Emanuel Kl
guerra, (wire Secretary to (lie lVru
viau Legation In Washington, that the
necessary permission was Dually
granted.
Owing lo the poor light in the vault
I was obliged to give the plate two and

one half hours' oxp'.surt'. with tin* r-
Bifit herowith shown. Several rolls of
pareUnient manus-i'int visible near the
foot of the body are also contained
within the marble voi'un, which was
placed whe re ii now stands in IS’.U.
Pizarro was killed iti*ihe palace at
Lima June 30, I.VII, and his remains
were previously hurled in a subterra
nean vault of the old cathedral.
TO MEASURE THE SERMON.
Hour-Gljsm*<* Still Knuml in Some <>ltl
1C null till
Very few hour glasses now linger in
country ehurehes, for they ceased to be
tn anything like general use after the
Pe’storarion, says the Golden Penny
tail Euglish jnibiieation). One of the
best preserved “glasses'* is still to be
seen iu the Church of St. Mary, at
Beckley, Oxon, where it controlled the
length of pulpit discourses for many a
decade.
By the aid of tile hour glass the mem
bers of a congregation could satisfy
themselves as to whether their worthy
pastor was giving them either long or
short measure in the way of sermons,
and. iu truth, it was deemed little less
than a scandal if the preacher ceased
his homily before the last grain of sand
had dropped Into the nether globe. The
story runs that ou one occasion, when
rumor reached the preacher's cars that
his flock considered his sermons sean
dvlously abridged, the worTiy dicius
reversed the glass no fewer than four
garth’s “.Sleeping Congregation,” on
the left-hand side of the preacher.
Strange, too, was the custom asso
ciated with long sermons, its object
being to rouse the congregation from
| times, the congregation meanwhile
marking the expiration of each allotted
time by hopefully reaching for their
lmts. It may be noticed that one of
tlmse monitory horologes figures in Ho

an end shaped like a hay fork, was car
ried round the church liy a beadle, j
whose duty it was to Jog the sleeping ;
member in the nape of the neck, and
effectually break the spell. Indeed,
many individuals set aside their sav
ings In order to support this custom of
keeping the congregation awake.

TYING HORSES
TO SAND HOLES
An EffecLive Device Used by t,he In
dians of Lhe Desert..
Tying one's horse to a hole In the
ground is a strange proceeding, and to
the uninitiated swims Impossible, hut
in the great California deserts, with
their vast sand wastes and alkaline
beds, wlicr • neither trees lior shrubs
have courage lo grow, and where
sticks and even stones refuse to exist,
the demand for some efficacious
method of bitching animals has been
imperative.
The white man, with oil his ingen
uity, lias always found the question
of anchoring bis horse on the desert
to he an enigma.
1 ear and necessity compel the desert
traveler to keep in motion, for the
situ Is relentless and treacherous, as
is the vulture that hovers above with
an anxious gleam of expectation in i(s
eyes.
Over miles and miles of burning,
pathless sands lie may lie doomed to
wander while the sun pursues with
heated vigilance. His horse Is ids only
companion, tin- only living thing be
sides himself in the great heartless
plain, and in- clings to it for safety as
a captain clings to ids ship.
If nature rebels against the struggle,
and the traveler must rest, the only
possible way he can think of to fasten

VE.SKBT INDIAN TVI'iO HIS KOKHS TO A
HOLE.
a brief s!->ep is to tie the halter rope
around his arm. his leg or his laxly.
An animal requires a proportion of
water equal in that of man. and be
comes crazed If his thirst is not
quenched. In such cases lie is liable
to plunge and eareen wildly away over
the sands like a ship In a gale, drag
ging Ids human am*or to destruction
and death.
Much has been the experience of the
white man. but the desert Indians,
who have never been neeivdlted witli
superabundant wits, have for many
years employed a method that is clover,
unique and effective that of fastening
their animals to holes in the ground.
During a recent trip to the desert a
photographer caught an Indian in the
very act, and for tlso lirs! time a photo
was taken that illustrates the scheme.
Kneeling on the hot sand, the Indian
began to dig with ins hands, which
were as hard and tough and imper
vious to pain as a dog's paws. He
worked euergctii allj until he had
made a hole about two feet deep. He
then tied an Immense knot to the end
of the halter rope, lowered ii into
the bottom of the hole. Slic'd the hole
witli sand, and then jumped and
stamped upon it iill the earth over
tile knot was about as solid as the
rock of Gibraltar. Chicago lleeord

HURRY CAUSES ILLS.
Nervous IVtsenac* That Are Due to Strati
of City Life.
To point to the hurry and stress of
modern town life as the cause of half
the ills to which the flesh to-day is
heir has become almost a commonplace
m aetiologicai diagnosis. The old-fash
ioned complaints, says the London
Lanc-et, might almost excite a medical
man's pity, so much do they seem to be
crowded out by these active, wide
spread young ‘ fellows, neuritis, neu
rasthenia and a whole young family of
nervous illness, tue offspring of the
strained existence of to-day.
A chain is as strong as its weakest
link, and to-day it appears that the
nervous system is the weakest link of
the organism. Tile weakness is not
natural. I: is acquired because the
strain upon this link is so often and al
most constant and out of proportion to
liie wearing power of the material.
Whether as generations advance Indi
vidual nervous systems will more eas
ily bear the labors asked from them
or not. at any rate, it may fairly lie
assumed that in tile early days of
any new style of life the generations
born under au old regime have the
worst of it.
We may imagine future generations
permit- ly calm among a hundred tele
phones and sleeping sweetly though
airships whizz among counties.- dec
trie wires over their heads and a per
petual night traffic of motor cars hurtle
past their bedroom windows. As yet,
it niu-t be sorrowfully confessed, our
nervous systems are no so callous.
Some of us still start at tile telephone
ring, and lint! tlie irregularities of the
instrument a source of irritation and
worry.
I'.ortunatcly, the very causes of nerve
exhaustion, so far as improved rapid
ity of locomotion may be counted one
of them, provide one important coun
ter-acting feature of town life at tbe
present day. We are alluding to the
facility with which those whose week
days are spent in city toil may spend
the seventh in breathing the fresh
air and beholding the innocent joys of
tlio rustic.
Without trains, electric tramways
and motor cars, a win lesom.' change of
scenery and surroundings .would
be scarcely possible in the limited time
available.
We do not wish to underrate for a
moment the value of parks and open
spaces—the “city's lungs." For many
these afford the only possibility of a
Sunday in at any rate comparatively
fresh air. Those large numbers,
though, who habitually find the Sab
bath's rest in a day's wholesome exer
cise at some little distance from their
v.ork-a-day centre may spare a mo
ment from the usual condemnatory at
titude toward the bustle, rush and
clatter of up-to-date locomotion to
bioss the means which enable them so
profitably to enjoy the day.
WORDS OF WISD®.
L is a mistake to suppose that tilt
highest good in life is to earn an ex
ceptional salary or to accumulate great
wealth.—Success.
The poor must light, when not with
each other, with nature. No wonder
they crave the kindly buffer of wealth
which interposes 1 etweea man and
man. Peace is a luxury.
The world Insists thai age and wis
dom must go hand in hand; the sol
