1t follows as a result Of this poverty that
little meat is eaten, in most families al
most none. You do not crave II in the
tropics, anyway, but rather resent II. Yet,
small as the dietary is, the blacks are
1.-THE and muscular; they walk with a free
step and an admirable carriage; they do as
much as can be expected Of a man in a
broiling climate and they are middling
moral. The crime for which SO many ne
groes are lynched in the south is I'M
known and a white woman is safe any
where. Indeed, these negroes are a per-
ceptible Improvement on the colored peo-
pie Of our southern states-that is, the new
generation of our colored people, for the
old uncle and auntie we're admirable char
acters. These West Indians have as a rule
been educated in a common school; they
read and write; they express themselves
in correct English; they are said to be
content with small stealings, and when
they beg they do IL with an air and a
modesty that take all the sting away.
You have heard Of the kind of colored
people they have in Monserrat, haven't
you? Down there a brogue is spoken by
the public, because this has been an Hi
bernian island ever since Cromwell used il
as a place Of exile for the rebels he did
not kill. The exlles followed the fashion

'longshoreman and was filled with aston
ishment at the familiar speech. For

scared member from Cork.
One Of the stunts that the colored per-
sons do which is more dificult than to talk
with a brogue is to dive for pennies or sill
ver7silVer preferred. These doings may
been seen In various ports on the arrival
Of a steamer. A native is rowed over to
the ship In a boat that in some Islands is
like a coffin, and in the French possessions
is almost a model, in little, of a iwash
canoe. His costume consists principally OF
complexion. He asks you to throw some
money into the water. You hold out a
sixpence. His eyes glisten. He puts one
foot on the gunwale Of the coffin, places his
hands together before him and watches for
the dropping of the coin. You flip 1t into
the water. saying to yourself that It is the
last time anyone will see it, for the sea is
deep and none too clear. As it striKes the

Nature would seem to be partial. There

Here was the handsomest and most COM
Portable Town in the Lesser Antilles. Else
where are towns that are neither handsome
nor comfortable. They are beautifully en-
vironed, but what poor, undeveloped places
they are! For the West Indies, regardless
of ownership, are wretchedly poor. These
islands are owned by the English,
French. Dutch and Danes, but all are alike
in the poverty Of the people. The white
residents appear to enjoy certain Of the
comforts Of civilization, but the blacks, who
constitute 80 per cent Of all the population,
live in cabins Of slabs, with roofs Of cane
thatch, and subsist on yams, bananas, CO.
coanuts, mangoes and breadfruit. with an
occasional loaf as a luxury. The wages run
from sixpence to two shillings a day, only
mechanics aspiring to so imposing a wage
as 80 cents. Nor is this meager stipend
offset by low prices in foodstuffs. Most Of
the foods that are not produced at home
are sent from this country, and when one
adds freight and duty and the shopkeeper's
profit, 1t will be seen that Delmonico din
ners are infrequent among the workers.
Still there is this advantage, that 1t
costs little to keep house. 1 should Judge
that tho average West Indian residence
cost about $40. And 1t is not often re-
paired. 1t is perched on stills to take it
out OF the malaria and to keep snakes from

own descent.
with so poor a people II is hardly to be
expected that the visitor will find much to
please him in respect Of roads, hotels and
other appliances of civilization. Excepting
two or three little mule trans. one OF
which was destroyed by Pelee, there are no
railroads and the recent torrential rains
have injured miles Of what they call good
roads for wagons. There are surprisingly
few horses and wagons, SO the damage is
not so great to the industries and COM
merce of the region. OF roads It is hard to
imagine one more beautiful than that on
st. Vincent, which winds along the shore
from the chief port, Kingstown. to George
town. II first ascends a steep hill, lined
for a mile or more with negro cabins nest
ling among palms and bananas, then comes
out on the heights, commanding views Of
Bequia and other little Grenadines, sleeping
on the bluest of seas, their cliffy shores
purple In the distance. Just at your feet
the slopes fall sharply toward the ocean,
which rolls in big surges on white beaches
and hurls columns Of spray against towers
Of volcanic masonry.
Usually there is no guard to this road in
the shape of a fence or wall, and where II
winds along the shelf of a precipice you
cannot avoid the wish that the driver had
kept sober. You call his attention to the
risk and he responds by steering the wagon
into the gutter on the other side, which is
cut deep to carry the rain, and nearly
humping your sconce against the cliff.
There has been no engineering to speak
of in the construction of this road. 1t is
in fair order. but the grades are fierce.
II would have been as easy to carry 1t
around the bulges of the hills as over the
tops OF them, but the pioneers on the
island never thought of that. We pass
deep coves, where arrowroot is springing
broad and green, but with a queerly irreg-
ular look. for It is not planted in rows
as we plant things, and we see a little
Indian corn and many palms, bread fruits
and mangoes.
We want to try some of these strange
fruits and vegetables; but no. The English
taverns give you only English food; roast
beef, potatoes, preserved ounces and a lot
of other things you get at home. You get
light claret wonderfully cheap and beer
that is dear at any price. All drinks are
served warm, except tea. The white folks
drink objectionable quantities of rum and
whisky, which ought never to be used In a
hot country, and the best drink there, to
my mind, is iced tea with lines IN 1t. The
native fruits are squeezed of their juices,
and you can drink watered syrups In the
little cafes of Martinique, but they are
trihing things, fitted for the French taste.

Floating in the bluest waters Of the
seven seas, writes a correspondent Of the
Brooklyn Eagle. lie the Antilles, dreamy,
vaporous, uncertain Of reach and outline,
peaked with volcanoes, trimmed with VII
lagos, the hill tops fringed with palms
that rock in the wind and toss their leaves
like a green smoke, their beaches white and
clean, the very heavens bending over them
in a softer light than that Of our land.
These are magic isles and when one leaves
them they have faded into opalescent mem
cries, not so dear as those which hold to
cooler zones, yet filled with color, tender
ness and fragrance. Heaven knows, I
would not live there, yet when l hear
music and when the fragrance OF flowers
steals upon the sense at night l shall
dream OF the West Indies.
The very approach OF them is different
from that Of our northern ports. Sea
water is to us a slaty dark that froths up
into green in storms and that in the shall
lows is yellow and turbid. In the Carib-
bean 1t is the most wondrous blue that can
be conceived. 1t is like nothing other than
a few Of those hot springs Of the Yellow
stone that go down and down till they
boil against the heated rocks Of the earth's
interior. II you can imagine the lapis
lazuli without it's hecks Of pyrite and
imagine 1t transparent and shot through
with light and imagine 1t curling at the
surface into flames of sky color, that is the
water of the warm seas. II is tremen-
dously deep under your feet. II you we're
to step overheard you would go down for
two miles. That depth may have to do
with the purity, hence with the color Of
the water.

SOLDIERS, CENTIPEDEs AND PRAYER

P. J. McCook, of the Harvard Club, tells
interesting story of the degree to which faith is
carried. even in the volunteer army. McCOok
was a corporal in the 9th Massachusetts and
took part in the Miles expedition to Porto
Rico. The night after the battle of Guanica
McCook's regiment spent its first night on
Porto Kican soil. Stories Of centipedes had been
circulated and the greatest nervousness
manifested by all they lay down the
ground. Presently of the privates. who

the centipedes" was his plea Instantly from
all sides came eager Amen
From that time on says Mr.. McCoOk. the
members of the 'Modoc's' company insisted each
night on the repetition of that prayer. Not
until he had made his little supplication and the
company had shouted their Amen were they
