houses for the working people had
peaked straw thached roofs. / am

4O cents per day with bread and olive
OIL furnished. We saw fine orange and
ollVe orchards, grape vineyards and
good gardens. 1t seems as though the
spanish oranges, while not Navals, are

people and about three times the size
OF Cadiz. Seville is on a navigable riy-

loaded donkeys into doorway and let
the housewife select from his wares.

everybody goes to the left instead of

seem to be members of the family. You
may see roosters and hens in some
second and third story windows of the
houses of the poorer people. In Sc

which we were taken in Seville was

be the finest in all christendom. It is
