Coming along the street IS a Hottentot with
a great, sponge like covering his head.
Other negroes from all parts of africa can be
found. Behind booth, where fruits of various
kinds piled in abundance, Is a woman. who
you can tell comes from Dutch Guiana. An
ebony Venus, her hair is long and glossy. her
eyes large and bright, her skin dark as walnut,
yet flushed with color. She wears a gay ban
dana on her head And as she sells the tropical
fruits she laughs and jests
Then amid the throng appears a picture that
seems snatched from the celestial kingdom You
the pictured very rarely outside Of
China except in Port of Spain. With two
baskets swinging from stick held on the should
ers, Chinese coolies make their way slowly
through the crowd. They wear the large, pointed
straw hats worn in China. Their costume is
Chinese. Their manner is Chinese. Their en-
ergy-or lack of tits Chinese. 1t is doubtful if
the eruption of Peee near the city could stir
them from their centuries old lethargy.
But yonder are life an fire and action. A
Brazilian negress dances in the square. What
a furry How her black face comforts in gri-
maees and laughterl
Here at the corner of the street old man
sells parrots. They Will tell you that he has been
there for yeaTs-aye, as long as any one re
member Has he ever sold any of his birds
They do not know. No buys; he does not
solicit custom Contented and happy he plays
with his birds.
Everywhere, III almost every corner, there IS
bargaining. Here. framed in an open door Is the

owing it through a tube.
NOw 1t Is red hot. He beats it on the anvil,
round and round, until il Is the thickness and
smoothness of telegraph wire. He bends it
INTO circle, joins the two ends beats and
6mooths 1t Then he takes stamps. He impresses
dies on It, and cuts weird and strange figures
From small cocoanut he takes silver ser
pent and heats 1t to a glow In the furnace Deft-
ly and swiftly he twists the red-hot reptile about
the bracelet, beating it and tien, and sud
denly drops 1t into cocoanLt oil 1t seethes and
misses. In few minutes 1t is cooled-and there
you are wonderful IL dian bracelet
About the market place wander men with
brown, withered faces. They wear turbans, short
jackets and short trousers of white cotton cloth.
Some wear chains on their necks, others wear
