About 20 years ago Chirlqui became

suddenly famous on, account of the curious relics which were unearthed from tho guacas, or graves, which are the only traces of their existence left by s people who lived in this region at some prehistoric period. Many years ago un Indian accidentally uncovered one of these guncns, which contained a number of gold ornaments. Immediately thou- sands of the nntives engaged in the search for similar repositories of treas- ure. Several hundred thousand dollars' worth of gold ornaments are believed to have been found but they were melted and sold for their weight in coin. At length the attention oi archeologiste was attracted md systematic digging was ln-

One doa not get s correct utimate oi the Psnsmas from travelers who make flying visits and only come in close con- tact with the lower classes in the capi- tal. You cannot know any people unlll you have entered their 'homes and eaten with them. Moreover, the Panamans, while always courteous and genial, have the dignified xrserve that ohs.racterizr»s races of Latin extraction. The well-to-do creole families are educated and refined. The children are sent to tha bc-st col- leges of Europe and America. and usually speak English fluently and correctly. ln many respects the habits and customs ot the natives diiier from ours, of course, and in not a few we might defer to their ex- ample with advantage to ourselves.
