MODERN ARCADIA.
Life Is Sweet to the simple Maiorcans and
Want and Crime Unknown.

Lie Is Sweet to the simple Maiorcans and
Want and Crime Unknown.
In my trampings about the island
secured entrance to many peasants and
farmers homes. From this found that
all methods of agriculture and home
side labor were of the most primitive
sort, and that there were no idle folk in
Majorca. Outdoor labor of some kind is
continuous the year round. All the wo-
men spin, knit or weave, and | have
never entered a peasants cabin where
mothers and daughters were not in
some such manner employed. IIospi
tally is charming. naive and whole
hearted. The plate of figs, basin of
almonds or basket of oranges, with the
wholesome wines of the country. are
ever ready for the friend or strangers
coming. | thought had partalIen of
that drink of the gods, horchata, in
Cuba. 1t is simply the pulverized kerr
nels of the almonds, to which water
and sugar are added Here where the
almond grows in the greatest per.
lection every housewife preserves
huge jars of the finest nuts for
horchata. The old mortar and pestle
are here for their grinding The shells
and brown husks are removed and
quarts of the snowy powder are literally
'leached," the creamy liquid filtering
slowly through. Then sonora or senior
tia adds spice of flavor, tamarind OF
pomegranate, or perhaps a dash of wine,
with her own fair hand. 1t is food and
drink. And it is no wonder that in
Majorca the entire peasantry live sump-
tuously on daily wages averaging less
than twenty cents for men and fifteen
cents for women the year through when
every manner of natures most royal
food is at every door for the taking. and
in such bounteousness that where it
ripens it is valueless and without price.
Somehow there grows upon one the
winsome notion that YOU have known
all these lowly folk before; that you
have seen their festas and known their
songs in the sunny wales of Cuba, over
in the glowing valley of Guines; that
You have come upon their brightness
and cleanliness among the Alps of Swift
zerland; that their generosity and hos
pitality were met in Conemara and Dom
egal; that their thrift and frugality
have their congener among the Penn
sylvania Dutch, and that their love of
home and simple village ways carry
you to the pleasant mountain wales
among the shining English lakes
Surely they are an idyllic people in an
idyllic land. Want is unknown; crime
is unheard OF. There is no politics in
Majorca, and but one religion. All this
in time may change. But as know it,
and you can know it, now, little Ma
jorca, fashioned in matchless beauty
beneath a smiling sun, is the one land
of plenty and content.-Chicago News
