ll1De OHlyj aCHlRut tHey are dilOWtu to run loose about the pasture.
 We have gardener (wages two dol lars) and boy who is understood to cnt and bring wood for the kitchen, and Guinea grass for the horses, to clean boots and knives, and to help in the stable and vegetable garden. He gets one dollar and twenty-five cents.
 With the exception of the house.. keeper, tho servants board themselves. Old Jamaicans say servants who board themselves will steal; but, as the store room is locked, we have nothing for them to steal. The servants bedrooms are supplied with cot and blanket each; if they want sheets they furnish them themselves. It is a picturesque sight to see the people at night cooking their food here and there over small fires. All they eat is yams and salt fish; they drink hot water svectencd coffee-grounds and secondhand soup meat, and have thereby gained rep. utation for libernlity which has helped me to secure good class of help. Some JamaicaEs will not give their servants hot water from tho kitchen, but oblige them to boil it for themselves.
 Our payroll for seven servants tho housekeeper is paid monthly is thus eleven dollars and. twenty-five cents a week; and the annual cost of all eight is xix hundred and eighty-fve dollars It is true that a less number of Amer ican servants would do the work bet tor; but expenses of all kinds would be heavier.
 It was a constant assonishment to us to see such really excellent meals come out of such an impossible cavern as our. kitchen. The thing that answers to our cooking range is an embanlsment of rough brick along one side of the room, on the top of which are basin- like holes in which wood fires are buil..

might be something the matter with it; so we took it from it's nail iu the main hall out into the sunshine. It leaped aloft, then, with an agility that showed it was of unimpaired constitution.
 The main hall stretches through the middle of the house. Towards the north, or front, it passes under mas sivc mahogany archway, and opens and library. The dining-room opens through glass door into tho rose. garden. There are a pantry and house. keepers bedroom on the west, and two other bedrooms on the east All the rooms are large, and the house through out is floored with polished mahogany. At the southern end of the hall is a big window-seat; it looks down on a mango and cocoanut-covered slope to a wooded hillside.
 The front view commands the broad, villa-studded Liguanea plain, and, be- yond, the Blue mountains, ascending nearly seven thousand feet.
 At the back of the house is a two storied bungalow. The ground-1oor contains study and small bathroom, storeroom and closet. On the upper story are two bedrooms. The study has a veranda, overlooking the little valley which we use to plant vegetables in, and the bedrooms have q balcony above. Twenty yards further east is another detached building, containing plunge bath about twenty feet square.
 To the west of the back door of the house is range of buildings compris- ing the kitchen, the servants bed rooms, the stables and coach-houses, all in line and connected. The bed rooms are on second story. In the rear of these buildings are chicken yards and hen houses.
 We have m English houselscepcr. sew. and to see-no easy tasls-that the colorcd servants do their work. Her wages are one hundred dollars a year.
 Next, delightful old black cook, relic of slavery days, with the defer cntial manners belonging to her breed; she thinks" she is seventy, but is as active as many of half her years. She isa treasure, but is so little aware of it that she is content with one dollar and half Q week.
 The butler-as the parlor-maid is called-gets the same pay as the cook. Her duties are to sweep with hair broom, to wait at the table, to attend to the silver and glassware, and to admit visitors.
 The laundress gets one dollar and sevcnty-fve cents week. Besides the washing, she looks after the beds and bedrooms In Jamiaca, this work is usually done by a housemaid, who also polishes the floors But as foor-polish- ing makes the polisher an unsightly object, arranged to have girl come in for half day at seventy-fvc cents a week. This answers well. It is the custom here to have the polishing done with sour orange juice and the half ot a cocoanut shell. But the 01 grinding noise Is so anna

 h ou es are of one or two stories-more often of one than two. When of two, only the upper one is, as rule, used ito live. in, the lower being given up to store-rooms, open cellars, and harness and carraige-rooms. This is the com mon arrangement in the lowlands, where the ground floor might be damp; or in regions where there is heavy rainfall. The house proper is occupied by the white masters and mistresses- the "Buclra," as they are called; while the servants quarters, kitchen, laundry, bath-houses and 80 forth, are placed at a distance from the main building. One apprehends, at first.that the cooked dishes may get cooled too much during their transit from the kitchen to the dining-table but that is prejudice, and soon is forgotten.
 Our house is two-storied, with a double gable roof, at the sides, as if 1t were two ordinary houses ''mended on to each other" as one of the children is no access to it for the inhabitants of the house-the human ones, at least; the rats, ,-mice, lizards and insects un- doubtedly know all about it.
 The house is about fifty feet by sew enty. It faces north. A veranda, tes- selated with black and white stone log enges, extends across the front from which one desccnds into the driveway in front, and Into small inclosed flower bed on either side. The roof of this veranda is the floor of gallery on the second story. The portico from which the steps descend is surmounted by an open balcony. The veranda looks through deep brick arch at the east end, on lawn through the arch at the western end; it gives on a rose-garden of about an acre.
 The rose-garden, which is square, is traversed by a network of paths paved with a mosaic of black and white pebbles. It contains not roses only, but violets, heliotrope, myrtle, orange, stephanotis, and other tropical. plants. Along the terrace on which the house stands lies the drive, overgrown with short turf, and bordered with a hedge of orange and myrtle. Thence the land Hopes rapidly to the inclosing wall of
