STREET SCENES IN LIMA. PICTURESQUE SIGHTS IN THE PERUVIAN CAPITAL. Poiv Carts Are Seen—Chinese Are Numerous—The Miserable Coolies —A Great Intermixture of Races. In the streets of Lima you remark the rareness of carts, and the use by prefer ence of mules and donkeys as beasts of burden. All day long the streets are full of itinerant venders, ftianv of whom come in frua the suburbs and the coun try. The milk woman, a negrcss or a Chola, with dark skin, long biaids of black hair, and a white straw Panama hat of masculine shape,, sits enthroned on the top of her cans, and often carries a baby in her arms; or, if her Indian blood be very strong, the 'baby will be hung on her back in a pouch. The water seller, or aguador, rides on the hind quarters of a donkey, with his water barrels in front of him. The bakers use square panniers made of parchment stretched on a wooden frame, and for supplementary loads a long sack is sus pended on each side of the mule or donkey. Fruit sellers are to be found at every street corner, squatting in the shade, with piles of grapes, paltas; peaches, granadillas; mangoes, bananas and other fruit before them. The De setnparados Bridge is a favorite station for the fruit women, and also for all kinds of peddlers, amongst whom the Chinaman is conspicuous. In Lima the Chinese are very numerous; some of them sell water-ices and others fruit, which they carry in Oriental style in baskets suspended from a long bamboo pole balanced on their shoulder; they also do all kinds of odd work as porters and ser vants, but their specialty is keeping cheap restaurants. The Limenos eat, but do not dine. I may even go further and say that they never will dine so long as the Hispano- Amcrican system of leaving housekeep ing entirely to the servants remains uu reformed. At present the better classes of society give the cook two, three or more dollars every day, aud with that sum the cook provides whatever he thinks proper, unadvised, unenlightened and un controled. Most of the people, however, live like pigs, do no cooking at homo and send out to the nearest restauraut to buy a dish or two of something that de fies analysis. John Chinaman is the ex clusive restauranteur of the poor, of the working classes aud of the market peo ple. Around the principal Mercado de la Conception, in particular, Chinese restaurants and shops abound, each one decorated with vertical inscriptions writ ten on black or orange-red paper. Some of the merchants and shop-keepers are well dressed aud good-looking Chinese, with elegant pig-tails, nicely shaven blue temples, and glossy skins; but the vast majority of the yellow race in Lima are coolies of the lowest class, who wear cotton trousers, black or choco late-colored blouses and Panama hats. Many of them have no pigtail, but allow their hair to grow shaggy. Others, again, are miserably emaciated and jaundiced by the abuse of opium. There is a Chinese theatre at Lima and a pago da. The origin of the colony is the im portation of coolies in former years to work the guano deposits and for agri cultural labor, 'fliis system of contract labor, which was virtual slavery, was abolished by law only a few years ago; but most of the emancipated slaves have remained in the country, where they now intermarry with the native Chola woman, and form peaceful aud industrious citi zens aud model fathers. lam informed that John Chinamen's qualities as a hus band and a family man are now highly appreciated by the native ladies of the lower classes, although formerly he was looked upon with horror. Negroes also abound in Lima and all along the coast of Peru. They are like wise emancipated slaves aud their de scendants. Besides Chinese and ne groes, you see in the streets of Lima all shades of skin, from Ethiopian black, chocolate, copper, red-brown and yel low, to the sallow white skin of the aristocratic and worn-out Peruvian, and the opaque pure white of the far famed Limenu beauties. The intermix ture of the black, white and yellow races with the native Indians has pro duced more than twenty degrees of hy bridism, to distinguish which requires an expert. In Lima the pure ludian from the mountains is rarely seen, and when he aud his wife do go down to the capital, they prove to be a stolid and imbruted couple, not worthy of any particular interest.— Harper's Magazine. Coffee Trees. The full-grown colteo tree much re sembles a common apple tree of eight or ten years' growth, with the exception that the limbs are long and flexible, their ends often reaching the ground. The bark is whitish and rather rongh. In the tropics where the tree alounds it continues green throughout the year, blossoms, green and ripo fruit being found upon it at any time. "When the blossoms fall there remains a pale green fruit which becomes red as it ripens, looking much like a large cherry and almost as palatable. Under the flesh of the berry, instead of astouc or seed, is found two of the beans which we call coffee, wrapped iu a thin, film-like skin. As the berry ripens it turns brown and splits open, exposing the seeds, which arc now ready togo on the markets of the world as coffee.— Boston. Cultivator. Paradoxes of tho Sense. The human eye does not see things, neither does what we call sight penetrate space. The eye is 9iniply like a teleicope for receiving rays of light. It is the brain only that sees. In this sense the lingers do not feel, the ear does cot hear, the tongue does not taste, nor does the nose smell. Hence light docs not exist outside the human body, nor does sound, nor touch, nor feeling, nor taste, nor nmell. but their causes do. In each and every case they are sensations ex isting in the brain only. Courier- Journal. THE POINT. << .

JACOBS OIL, The Great Remedy For Pain, but to Its superiority over all other remedies, i xpresaed thus: It Cores Promptly, Permanently; which means strictly, that the pain-stricken seek a prompt relief with no return of the pain, and this, tbey say, St. Jacobs Oil will give. Tliix i* "German Syrup" Here is something from Mr.Frank A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt House, Lewiston, and the Tontine Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men meet the world aS it comes and goes, aud are not slow in sizing people and things up for what they are worth. He says that he has lost a father and several brothers and sis ters from Pulmonary Consumption, and is himself frequently troubled with coldis, and he Hereditary often coughs enough to make him sick at Consumption's stomach. When ever he has taken a cold of this kind he uses Boschee's German Syrup, and it cures him every time. Here is a man who knows the full danger of lung trou bles, and would therefore be most particular as to the medicine he used. What is his opinion ? Listen ! "I use nothing but Boschee's German Syrup, and have advised, I presume, more than a hundred different per sons to take it. They agree with me that it is the best cough syrup in the market." ® »» "I.URV.I.

The elephant in captivity is very dif fereut in his native jungles, and Sir Samuel Baker thinks the life of the wild animal is much longer because of the complete change of habits undergone by the beast when tamed and set to work. The elephant is a nocturnal animal, but in captivity is forced to work during the daytime, and so, in India, suffers greatly, the immense size and weight and dark color causing the animal to become overheated. To relieve itself it draws from its stomuch a quantity of water and sends it in a shower of spray over the body, and as this operation is repeated about every live minutes, the rider of an elephant is subjected to some incon venience. It is, however, a curious fact that the wuter thus drawn from this reservoir provided by nature is perfectly sweet and pure, and Baker slfys no auimal is cleaner or more choice in its selection of food. But the elephant is a wasteful feeder, and if allowed will destroy twice as much as he eats. The native elephant keepers understand this, and when feed ing their charges make up the rice and plantain into small packages, one of which at a time is handed to the ever expectunt trunk.— New York Journal. The Money in Patents. "If you want t<> loose or make a for tune in a day," said Mr. H. C. Lodge, a well-known Colorado patent lawyer, now in the city, "just go into the business of the inventor. It is better than a lottery, for you stand a chance of winning once in a while. The man who invented the hooks now in use on the tops of shoes was a Missouri shoemaker. He got $350 for this patent, but the man who bought it made 975,000 out of it. The inventor and patentee of that toy for children, the rebounding ball,now almost forgotten by the tickle youngsters,cleared $125,000 out of his patent, while the "chestnut bell" profited the firm that patented tho idea §150,000. "Pigs in clover" would have brought the inventor, a central New York farmer, as much more, but a number of firms manufacturing chil dren's toys ran the risk for inlringement of patents during that craze, and t.he in ventor only received $15,000 and a lot of lawsuits. I haven't said anything about the men who have lost fortunes in the business, but their name is legion."— Kmuas City 1 iines. Color of Kyes in Hypnotism.

One-third of the land surface of the earth is covered with forests. The Planet's Mid-Spot. For several centuries different cities in the Orient have contested with each other for the honor of being recognized as the mid-spot of the planet. Quite recently a London geographer issued an elaborate work in which he tries to prove the Brit ish metropolis to be the centre of the landed hemispheres. Jerusalem and Delphi, notwithstanding the fact that neither of them is situated on the equa tor, have for ages been the two great ri vals in this mid spot discussion. Will iam Simaon, of the London Society for Exploring Palestine, tells us that Herr Schick has sent home drawings of the Jerusalem centre of the world. It exists, of course, in the Greek Church of the Holy Sepulchre, not in the Latin church. The spot is identified less by physical science than by prophecy. It is written in the Psalms: "God is my King of old, working salvation in the mid3t of the earth." This can only refer to the scenes of the passion and of the holy sepulchre, and the midst of the earth must, there fore, be found where the holy sepulchre is considered to be by the Greeks. The belief that the centre is there, or thereabouts, is ancient, for it occurs in a work by St. Ephrem, quoted by John Gregory in reference to Noah's prayer. Here Sphrem sajs that Adam was buried '•in the middle of the earth." Homer calls Calypso's Island "the navel of the world, the centre of all the seas." In vKschylus a certain round stoue iu the temple of Delphi is the "navel" or centre of the earth, and here does Ores tes take refuge when pursued by the Eu menides. Pinder has anticipated /Eschv lus here, and, after an era, Pausanius (like Ilerr Schick) had the pleasure of seeing the only genuine central hub at Delphi. "It is made," he says, of white stone, smooth and polished, and is tho middle point of the whole world. De los, as well as Delphi, claims to be one of the sacred places perforated by the earth's axle, and probably other cit ies, in all ages, have looked upon their sacred places as deserving of the same distinction. There can be no closer analogy, however, than that which ex ists between the hall of stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusa lem and the round white stone at Delphi. Chicago Herald. What Lupus Is. Lupus vulgaris, of which we are now hearing so much, is an extremely chronic disease of the skin, attacking persons between the ages of two and fifteen. It is characterized by the appearance of reddish-brown nodules of granulation tissue uj>on the skin, usually of the face. The mucous membranes are rarely affect ed. The nodules start in the corlum, but penetrate the connective tissue be neath and the papillary layer above. The disease spreads by the formation of fresh nodules at the periphery of the original lesion. New centres form and the old ones may gradually disappear. If the tissue breaks dowu an open sore is found, covered with yellowish and brownish crusts. Unlike ordinary tuber cle, the lupus nodules are rather vascu lar, Tubercle bacilli are found in the tissue, but they are very infrequent, and often many examinations are required to detect them. Inoculation of lupus nodules will it is asserted, cause tuber culosis in rabbits and guinea pigs; but inoculation of the skin with tubercle will not produce lupus. For this and other reasons so distinguished an authority as Kaposi denies that aipus is a cutaneous tuberculosis, although that, view is held positively by Koch and his pupils. Lupus, chronic as it is in its tendencies, often disappears for a time under treat ment, only to reappear later. Dermatolo gists generally give favorable prognosis, provided treatment is persisted in.— Medical Record.

He does not possess an alarm clock, and consequently must de - vise some means of awakening at a cer tain time in the morning. To arouse himself at six o'clock he opens his win dow and lifts high the curtain before re tiring, and lo! the light of dawn steils gently upon his eye-lids and pries them open to sensibility with the assistance rendered by the ruder shock conveyed to his ear by the noise of passing vehicles. To awake two hours later the window is closed; a ten o'clock awakening is ob tained by pulling down the curtain, but when his fatigue necessitates a thorough rest he shuts out all light and sound as nearly as possible, surrounding himself with pillows and blankets, among which he rests serenely in the arms of Mor pheus until "high noon"drives him from concealment.— Philadelphia Inquirer.
