a horde of shriil-voiced negroes, negresses
and excitable half-whites. There are
drunken people, shouting servants and ba-
bies. The conversation of the strange
visitor must, perforce, be carried on
through the medium Of gesticulatlons, and
II is difficult to make ones meaning plain
even then. There are policemen about
and wardens Of the markets, but they
make no effort to quell the constantly
arising disturbances except under danger
Of riot.
Probably one Of the most peculiar Gus
toms noticeable In the Cuban markets IS
the extremely small purchases-smal In
quantity-made by the lower class OF ma
lives Small gourd cups holding scarcely
more than a tablespoonful are used In
measuring rice, four beans and peas.
Cabbages are cut IN wedges the size Of a
cigar, turnips into eighths squasbes into
minute chunks. ana onions Ia halves Pc
tatoes are sold by number.
Buying Two Ounces Of Meat.

man buy "A piece Of meat Weighing cou-

There he wrote the Venetian Letters,
whose success doubtless fixed his native
inclination for purely literary life. Now
for some years he has made New York
his home.
His family relations are Of the happiest.
He is blessed with a wife wholly devoted,
and two children of unusual promise. The
daughter, Miss Mildred Howells. is a very
pretty girl with a very pretty talent, both
for water colors and for literature. Her
pictures have appeared in the Paris salon,
and her farces show that she inherits much
of her fathers gift of expression. The
son Is an architect, newly come from Par
is, where he has finished course of study
several years long.
In literature Mr.. Howells stands half
way between the old order and the new.
He began TO write when Lowell, Longfel-
low, Emerson and Thoreau were in their
prime. He is a methodical worker, spend
ing the morning and early afternoon al mis-
desk, then going out for a long walk. Just
now he is putting the last touches to a
contribution of Their Wedding Journey,
which was one of his earliest successes.
His study is a small room sparely fur
nished, but with well-flled book shelves.
A visitor rarely penetrates It, though once
Is there of right. he finds himself in gen
tal presence. Mr. Howells owns a DEM
OSAaNy as SlitSie as his culture, ana SYM
pathies as broad as his standards of life
are high. An avowed socialist, his inter
est is entirely with the hopes and the con-
ditions of the average man.
II is a mistake to set him down a stern
critic. He sees whatever good there may
be- but can not see only good where there
is also evil The honesty of clear vision
compels him to see good and evil even in
the English classics However sharp he
may be over them, he is never ungeneroIs
| to the men of his own time. No other
writer has ever aided by praise so many
| young authors.
He has never sought notorety. He has
been content with the abundant fame that
/ has sought him. If he has never been The
man Of the moment, he is assuredly one of
! the men Of his time.

\ little negro boy by the name of Ridgell. aged : years. was acei- dentally shot through the head, and instantly killed by his ten or eleven year old brother, last Friday, six miles northeast of town. The shooting was the result of careless ly leaving a winchester rifle about the house where the children could get it. If the money spent by the ignorant class of this country for firearms was judiciously in- vested for clothing and something to eat 1t would be a great deal bet ter for them and they would have correspondingly fewer premature funerals.
