what the habits Of their past lives to
gether with 300 years of oppressive
domination has made them. | fancy
that one would be about as safe in the
hands of wild Igoirote in his native
haunts, and perhaps more so than In
the hands Of "blackhanded Italian
who has always dwell. on the civilized
shores of the Mediterranean, beneath
the cerculean sky OF fair Italy, to
whose progenitors the apostle Paul,
within the walls of the eternal City"
nearly twenty centuries ago, ex-
pounded concerning the kingdom of
God, both OF the law of Moses aud
out of the prophets, addressing them
as men and brethren.
The Igorrote women are modestly
clad and we're diligently pursuing
their daily avocstions, weaving coarse
cloth, making rude curios to sell and
taking care of the babies. Worthy of
mention is the 1.-THE, graceful body of
this wild man, uniformly brown az
berry from head to foot; bright,
shiny bronze hue peculiar to this
people alone; their muscles u OF abrup
and angular as characterized by men
OF the white race, but gracefully
rounded which seems to add to their
agility or quickness of motion. OF the
lgorrote 1t might be said, he is the
only man living man who can, In good
taste, appear in public clad in full
iress suit consisting of no clo hing,
except breech cloth. The IgorIotes
are worth seeing.
Finally we attended the show ad.
vertised as the conflict between the
Merrlmac and the Monitor; combi-
nation OF moving pictures and pano-
ramio views on an immensely large
scale. 1t is without exception the
most remarkable thing OF the kind
that have seen; it portrsys an his
torioal event OF the late civil war; an
event familiar to those who have stud
led the history of those times, bat
tie between the first two lion clad
ships; the result OF which formed
an epoch in the history of the Ameri-
can people. The Monitor won the
day; otherwise perhaps the South
might not have be n conquered, and
today we might be two.nations instead
of one. The result brought about a
radical change in the history of naval
warfare. Modelled after these little
protected vessels the lie sdirg naticn
of the earth have made and are MAX
ing their great monster iron. clad war
vessels behind which these leading
powers stand defying, and as it were,
shaking their fists at each other.

Another striking feature OF the Pay
Streek is the Scenic Railway with its
cars of passengers dive passeners)
dashing around among alpine peaks,

that you are among the Alps.
The shows and attractions of the
Pay Streak are said to ba of a decid-
sdly higher character than those pre-
sented In the side exposltions of other |
world g fairs, and | think this ia true
judging from the three former ones
which | have attended; however we |
visited only the three shows above
Some of the shows offered sensa
tional programmes, at least one would |
be ledto judge so from the loud proc.
OF the human mouth pieces |
who stand at their front entrances
the wondrous things that |
are to take place inside judging too,
from the little free exhibits which are
presented in front of said show houses
prior to the opening OF each perform.
ance, one would be led to conclude
that the show itself would be indeed |
quite sensational; how.
ever improprieties are guarded and
restrained by the Fair management,
and most of that which is witnessed |
within the Pay Streak is either in
structive or productive of innocent |
amusement. These shows seem to
meet the want of the great mass OF
fair young people for such amusement.
