THE PARhGUAYANS.
A Lazy, Happy olucky People In
Bankrupt Republic.


The infusion of Spanish blood and
customs into the Cuarani has produced
a people with the faults and good quail
tiles Of both in about equal parts.
Dark of complexion, with strongly
marked Indian features, essentially
gentle when unrestrained or not un-
duly excited, careless Of the morrow,
poor and honest, hospitable and gen.
erous, indolent and uncultured, strong
'ly Catholic in theory, but generally lax
in religious performances as to dog
mas-this Is a rough sketch Of the ma
tive people Of 3a:ssaeH==Asu
THE capital, and even the smaller
places-villa Rica, Sap Pedro, Villa del
Pillar, Villa Conception - have their
aristocratic families, Of which the
daughters and sons are sent to Europe
to be educated and which maintain On
e2clusiveness that must be almost iso-
lation. But in general the people min
gle readily.
In the early morning in the streets
Of Asuncion the women gather in their
long white dresses and barefooted to
sell their wares. The younger women,
judged by our standard, are beautiful
and from carrying baskets and water
Jars on their heads have attained an
erect and graceful carriage which our
young women could we'll initiate. Be-
sides. when they laugh they show two
rows Of pearls, and their speech In
soft Guarani patcis is worth going far
to hear.
When you see Asuncion you see Par

city in the republic. Its streets are
poorly paved, it has mule cars which
run at long intervals and low speed,

exceptional, but there is n kind Of lazy,
happy-go-lucky gayety about the city
that represents the national feeling.

EXPLOSIVES.
Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
NitrosIycerin.

Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
Nitroslyeerin.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder is to throw 1t into q
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving OF the
saltpeter. If no suitable stream Is
available, the gunpowder may be STIR
red with water in tubs, or the dry gun
powder may be poured out on the
ground in a long thin line and ignited
with q fuse at one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings should be carefully
removed, the bare cartridges laid in a
row with their ends in contact and the
first cartridge ignited with fuse with
out q cap. Even with these precau-
tions q simultaneous explosion Of the
entire mass may occur, so that 1t Is
wise to retire to q safe distance. The
row Of cartridges should be laid paral-
lei with the wind and ignited at the
leeward end, so that the fame will be
driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care, as its combustion is
peculiarly liable to assume an explo-
sive character. A small quantity of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing it in very small bits into IN open
fire, or the cartridges may be exploded
one by one in the open air with fuses
and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water, as the nitroglycerin which
1t contains remains undissolved and
capable Of doing mischief. Other ex
plosives which contain nitroglycerir
should be treated in the same way as
dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives ma1
be thrown in small fragments into al
! open fire or If they do not contain nj
troglycerin may be destroyed by means
Of water. Explosive caps should be ex
ploded singly with pieces Of fuse.-Sci

Women Laborers.

Women are largely employed in
Prague and elsewhere In Bohemia as
ordinary day laborers in the construc-
ton Of buildings. They mix mortar,
sift sand and carry bricks and mortar
to various parts Of the buildings being
constructed. For such service they
are paid from 80 to 81 cents per day.
Women also unload coal, carrying it
from the wagon on the street to the
collar Of the building. For this they
are paid 40 cents per day and work
from G a. m. to p. m, with an hour
for dinner.
