visitor II some one on this floor,
and aftefR while a tinkle Of the
bell tells bat he has arrived; and
very soo1 an animated converse
lion ensu , in the hall and an ad-
|acent rom.
Perhav1 It would amuse you. II,
On hearing monotonous atinkle,
tinkle," cSt in the hall early in the
morning, your attention was led to
. large goat which a man had led
up stairs md was then milking in
to tumble at different doors. And
there is e bread man with loaves
large and mail. You know q cup
Of coffee ID . roll is all the people
wish for p early breakfast say
nine or tea o'clock; and the wealthy
ones ofte9eettle for another COM
Portable - for the o'clock meal.
There Z > many steep flights Of
stone St. leading up onto the
hills in I city, and here the little
b very useful, though
horses a. bsed rs we'll, to convey
loads Of duce on their backs up
to the 10 ~ and up these steep
inclines led cows and goats to
be milke 4 the doors-as well as
in the pr ipal streets.
This h land Of striking con.
trasts 4 constant surprises.
The{ b bch that Is superficial in
this tsrs Aearted people, and II
you try n nm . judgment of them
you are IT. as to find yourself mis-
taken. Icy are very fond Of their
children; yet, in babyhood, have
them mos uncomfortably bound
up than To Indian papoose, which
Is thoughtto be one reason Of 90
many being crippled or undersised.
They an kind to you, yet would
take advantage and cheat you out
Of your II cent. NJ.
Accordlne to accounts they arc
depaoraht tnosaia noIAlA yet ~
ter q forbeafancc often W6nderfdl,
let the spark come which kindles
their Ire, and vengeance and retri.
button is their sole thought. They
are like impulsive children, with
more depth and warmth than the
French, but lacking the Saxon stol-
idity, and solidity also. A new toy
makes life bright to them.
A curious custom obtains-ol
course among the lower order-of a
man making his mark and winning
4 wife at the same time. A girl
cools little to her first lover and
receives some attention from
another. Number l. sharpens a
razor-to kill his rival? Not ut all,
Placing the weapon So that but q
point projects beyond his thumb,
he slips up behind the girl and in.
flicts cash upon her face. A doc.
tor assured US that frequently they
were so injured that they had ia
come for treatment to the Hospi-
tai. How could she pay him back 7
She married him, for no one else
would have her, marked In that
way. Ihope she led him q life to
make him wish he had Travelled
with can Of exploded dynamite. :
When a man wishes to make
fierce threat he informs his enemy
which means that his intention Il
to put that entire family under
ground. They do not swear.
A person looking down on to THU
fine boulevard with elegant equip
ages and well.dressed people woult
have no hint Of the narrow, dirt!
streets, scarce q stones throw
away, where between the higl
houses = teeming population carr!
on their traffic, dirty little children
play where there is scarce room TO
foot-passengers to stand against tn
houses to let . carriage pass q
their drivers naughty command o
cracking whip; whore in thei
doorways (often there Is no lowe
window or outside, the men ar
making shoes, mending umbrellas
and hammering At copper vessels
while the women clean Household
utensils, sew OF knit or braid can
into old chair-seats. Amid the dir
and dinginess comes the vendor q
vegetables with his donkey, tn
fish-wife with shrill cry, the chat
coal man with his advertisement
on his face, and numerous otf
ers that did not recall the "voice
of the night" except by contras
There is loud bargaining, and 70
think every now and then that the
will come to blows, they become q
j excited; but this is one Of the
ways Of enjoying themselves. tn
