An enumeration Of the variety of worf

the reader. since 1t would comprisl
a list of studies in nearly every

ever, give a hint of the audacious
hopes of science in solving problems
that have mystified the ages.
For illustration, 1t is confidently ex

their chatter would have driven the

over the brink of the fountain, which
gave back a reflection of sad eyes
and dark-skinned faces, these simple
women destroyed NO reputation by
word or frown; they neither SANDER

The native houses are nearly all

palm leaves. The better classes live
in two-story dwellings with tile roofs,
but the majority are only one story
and usually the floor is OF earth

made, and the installment house

starting in to keep house consists Il
a hammock. a couple of cot beds
made by stringing strands OF rawhlde

crucifix and an image Of the Virgin
Mary. The kitchen is located out OF
doors, the stove being a home made
contrivance of clay, with a dome like
oven resting near the fire place. This
dome Is hollow and when baking day
arrives it is filed with wood and heat

ashes are then withdrawn and the
bread or other things to be baked are
placed inside. The aperture Is then
carefully sealed and the cooking goe:
