There are several market buildings similar to
those in our southern cities where there are
booths or stalls where almost every conceivable
commodity is displayed for sale. Cocoanuts.
mangoes, oranges, lines, bananas, meat, fish, to-
oacco and a thousand other things. These
market buildings are not large enough to hold
MALT the sellers so the streets are lined for
blocks with market women who sit all day try
ing to sell the produce so laboriously brought in.
Interesting sights galore presented themselves
but good photography was very difficult because
the display of a camera was the instant signal
for the gathering of the crowd, each individual
member of which seemed determined to look into
lens.
An hour or so among the motely throng and
|one conceives a desire to see where they all
come from. We found that the trolley cars ran
several miles into the country, so boarding one
lof these we started out.
Mile after mile was passed and still we met
the constant incoming stream of basket laden
women and girls. We wondered if there was

sell less than a bushel of fruit or garden truck.
AS we returned to the city we found that all;
of them did not walk all the way to town, and
also how accommodating the Jamaican morton
men can be. Several times the car stopped and
waited while a woman put two or three bags
or baskets of fruit or vegetables aboard and
slowed them under the seats, and as we watched
the process we wondered how they would fare if
they were dealing with our interurban service.
If one returns to the own toward evening he
again meets the seemingly endless procession re-
turning whence it came, and after travelling miles
and meeting an almost constant stream | thought
that l should find the market places deserted, but
not so. | found the crowd somewhat thinned but
still on the ground, and later learned that many
of them remained all night, sometimes s,eeping1
upon the ground, but determined to sell the laStl
of their stock before starting upon the homeward
tramp which was, in many cases, nearly thirty
miles.
A clergyman told me that attempts had been
made to establish depotS or local markets, so
that the produce could be disposed of near their
homes at a slightly reduced price, but the faSci-
nation of the crowd in the city and the higher
prices induced most of them to take the long
tramp with their heavy loads. although the gain
received for a twenty-mile walk and perhaps two
days on the ground only amounted to a dollar or
two.
One sees among these market people many GU
rious and interesting sights, but one made a par
ticularly strong impression upon my mind.
A fine looking negro woman had started on the
homeward trip balancing on her head a large
basket apparently filled with purchases made In
town and leading a goat. The goat became re-

Strengthened out, the goat started toward home
and at the same time to maintain the poise neces-
sary to keep the basket in pace were amusing
in the extreme. The wrathful expression of face
and very evident desire TO do things to that

bearing necessary to balancing the basket. L

Whatever else may be true there is no color

1t is quite common to see a we'll dressed negro
and an English gentleman seated together in a

a crowd OF people playing the great game of
cricket upon a fine green near some beau..srl villa
and to discover that the players represent all
shades of color from the coal black negro to the

some extent, the troubles of the foremen upon the

1t is quite true that when one lands there
late in the day and makes his first trip into the
town at night he does not receive a very favor
able impression of the place.
The streets are ill-lighted and thronged with
as motley an array Of human beings as can be
we'll found in a civilized country.
MARKET SCENE. KINGSTON STREET.
The dusky throng jabbering a peculiar mixture
of negro dialect and cockney English is about ash
easily understood as a crowd OF Colulnblans orI
Genital Americans speaking their Spanish patols.
However, a little patience and one begins toI
recognize some resemblance to the English Ian
guage.
A little inquiry and investigation disclose the
fact that the town is we'll supplied with Yer.
good hotels. The first thought is that in this
tropical country the nights will be very hot, but
zone is generally happily disappointed for the
! sea breeze is almost always cool and have
never spent a night in Jamaica that compared in
heat and general discomfort with many that
have spent in Chicago and New York.
With the advent of daylight we get a better
idea of the old town with it's low brick build
ings, it's covered sidewalks, narrow streets, which
on the whole are we'll paved, and its varlegated
population, which comprises all shades from coal
black to the pure English face.
Entering the town even in the early evening
one finds the stores nearly all closed and almost
absolutely dark. the display windows so familiar
to us being entirely lacking, while the better
class of people are little seen upon the streets.
The negroes are. however, numerous enough,
mostly women and children, and nearly all bare.
footed, trudging along the middle of the street.
In the early morning the scene is one of the
greatest interest to the visitor. Upon every
street leading into town is a stream of the poorer
class, nearly all black, coming to the city
market, each one loaded with produce of some
sort. Here a woman striding rapidly along with
nearly a bushel of mangoes upon her head and
a smaller basket on her arm, walking as freely
and easily as if without a load, there another
with a similar load of vegetables upon her head
anu leading a diminutive donkey, which is al
nnoc hidden Inv tha great MANNERS filled with
garden truck. Just ahead many be seen the
; woman's husband walking j%auntily along clad in
clean linen. the product of his wife's toll, an old
silk hat upon his head and a cane in hand, and
evidently bent on looking after the proceeds Of
the sales.
We follow them to the market place and find
the streets given up to the public market, already
thronged with the ear y arrivals and the town
people who are buying supplies for the day.

HENRY VAUGHAN.

The most fragrant Americanism can hardly be otherwise than glad to learn from England in the matter of Gothic architecture. MT. Vaughan was educa- ted for the profession of ecclesiastical architecture in England, and by Bod- lev the foremost authority in England on Gothic architecture. For more than twenty years he has known no superi- or in this country as an interpreter of the finest Gothic spirit and creator of the finest Gothic form. Men of wide culture, of refined nature, of in- difference to the commercial side and of devotion to the highest ideals of life find in him a kindred spirit. The mis- sion chapel of the Church of the Incar- nation in New York; the chapels of St. Paurs school and of the Groton school, and our own Christ church here in New Haven, have lifted the hearts and minds of many here present from earth towards heaven. Associated as he now is with his master in design ing a cathedral for the diocese of Washington, we may confidently hope that central and dominant specimen of Gothic form many ere long point this nation to the skies.
