WOMEN BUTCHERS.
Unusual Feminine Occupations Fol-
lowed in Paraguay.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.j


The butchers in all parts of Paraguay
are women. In the public slaughter
houses the cattle are dispatched by men.
This is the only part of the work done
by men. The animal is skinned and
otherwise prepared by women. who are
dextrous in the use Of the saw and knife.
1t is served out to the customers by
women-not generally by weight, but by
the piece-and the price is very low
Women of all ages act the part CT
butchers. Sem are young and pretty,
others old and wrinkled. The women are
great bargainers and keen to pull . new
arrival almost to pieces in the hope o.
securing his custom. These women
butchers earn good wages. and many OF
those in business on their own account
acquire a modest fortune
The cause of this state of things IS
the heroic war waged by Paraguay more
than thirty years ago against the over
wheiming forces of Brazil the Argentine
republic and Uruguay combined This
war. which lasted five years, bore many
similar points of resemblance to the re-
cent Boer war 1t ended in the almost to-
tai annihilatiou of the able-bOdied male
population of the country.
When the war was over the people had
and were on the verge of starvation
Worse still. owing to the destruction oil
the male population. perfect anarchy pre-
vailed. and all the work formerly per
formed by males fell on the fair sex

because he is never in one place long
enough for you to get out notebook and

ing the seemingly impossible and tell him
that the people in America who nave
for years loved the man Barrie through
his work and do not understand his Sc
clusion from our hospitahle shores you
discover, perhaps not entirely TO your
surprise, that simply saying j. NJ Barrie
is like striking a match to the memory
of the man who of all persons in America
knows the playwright best.
But il is easy to see that Charles Froh-
man, while loving to reflect upon the
reat store of Barrieana that years OF
intimacy with the playwright have
brought him, yet shrinks exceedingly
from confiding any of 1t to a stranger.

PLAYWRIGHT he explains. He is really
a man of letters spending his holidays

and New Jersey steamed into port and
anchored off Tompkinsville, Staten ISL

the New Jersey to the Boston yard.
When the channel leading to the har-

greeted with the shrill blast of whistle
and sirens.
The battleship New Jersey, which ar
rived later, received a similar greeting.
