PARAGUAY LOTUS-EATERS.
Beautiful Women Who Dance and Dream
Their Lives Away.


Paraguay IS almost q fairyland OF
romance. The native portion of the
population is a remnant of the tribe OF
Guarani Indians, one of the loftiest in
the grade OF civilization of all the
American race. But nothing astonishes
the visitor to Paraguay as much as the
vast preponderance of the female over
the male population. The proportion
is something like nine to one.
A long fierce war in VIII Oh the natives
followed and supported a cruel and ambi-
tious ruler through indescribahle hard
ships and sufferings, reduced the whole
population to about oue-sixth Of whatit
was twenty years ago, Leaving only
women and boys. These women are as
beautiful and fair to look upon as can
be found in any part of the world.
They are OF medium height, rather
slim and 1.-THE. with finely nodded
limbs, small pretty hands and feet and
figures of matchless grace and beauty
that would serve for models of the SOUP
tors art. Their carriage is SO easy
and natural as to be almost the poetry
OF motion. for the freedom from high
heeled boots and tight-clothing has left
their step light, supple and strong.
j The dress is OF the simplest form-a
short tunic or robe, not unlike d skirt
+ falling to below the knees, and a shout
{ der covering. not unlike shawl, both,
/ of pure white, and adorned with pretty
native lace
/ They are gracefully worn and be-
witchingly serve to half reveal and half
conceal the form beneath. In the mid
day siesta they are fond OF lying Ian
guidly in their hammocks, slipping their
mate and singing in their low, sweet
voices. Possessed of lauguid. voluptu-
Gus natures, that are fostered by the
climate, what else should they do save
love and dance and sing? Dancing Is
their only pastime, and into that they
throw the whole spirit of their joyous
nature Boston Transcript.

How Barber shops Are Managed.

The proprietor Of n barber shop pays
the rent, puts in the furniture and fix
lures, combs, brushes, pomades and
other utensils. The man at the chair
furnishes his own raZors and topics for
conversation. Owing TO the custom of
assigning the employees oldest in the SER
vice and presumably the best men to the
front chairs graded wage is paid. The
chairs nearest the door and consequently
the most accessible are the most lucra-
tive. The transient customer usually
takes the first chair within reach. The
new barber is given the chair at the foot
of the line. He may be the most COM
petent artist in the place, but lie has to
begin at the bottom and work his way
forward as the BARRIERS i'm front of him
quit their employment. This arrange
ment has one of the virtues of civil SER
vice regulations. The foreman is the
Oldest employe and works in the chair
next that of the proprietor, who has the
first.
In Chicago more than half the BARRIERS
are profit sharers. The plan i'm opera
ton in each large down town shop de-
ponds on is location. Where a large
amount of the custom IL transient the
commission plan is the favorite. a shop
having a steady trade as rule pays the
regular wage and a percentage. Out Of
town shops pay a weekly stipend. The
average wages for BARRIERS is Si3 a week.
An extra good man may get Sl4, but as
many get SIC or less. Chicago News.
