A LOCALITY WHERE� SICKNESS
IS NOT.
Dr. F. R. Heath, in a paper on "Per-
uvian Antiquities," describes a strange
people living iu a town called Eten, in
seven deg, south 'latitude, and about
two miles from sea. They number
about 4,000, and they speak, besides
the Spanish, a language which some of
the recently brought over Chinese la.
borers understand, but there is no other
similarity between the two peoples.
They intermarry uncles and nieces,
brothers and sisters,nephews and aunts,
that is promiseuouiy, and with no ap-
parent curse of consanguinity; but they
will not I ormit an intermarriage into
their number, or with the outsi le wor•1.1.
They have laws, customs and drese of
their ow11, and live by braiding hats
and mats, and weaving cloths. They
will give no account of the place whence
they Dame, or of the time they settled
at Eten. History does not mention
their existence before the Spanisrds ar-
rived, nor does it record their existence
before their immigration since. Among
them there are no sick or deformed
persons, their custom being to send a
committee to each sick or old person,
and those who are reported past recov-
ery or past usefulness are promptly
strangled by the public executioner.
Eten orders it, they say, and with
Eten's orders there is no interference.
