WATER P0RTERS OF QUITO

Cataract.

Around a fountain In one of the
principal squares of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones of some South
American cities in carrying their Jars
upon their backs instead of on the
backs OF mules. Their earthen Jars
are deep, have a wide mouth, and
hold about 40 liters.
The porter carries it on his shout
der fastened with leather straps. He
never detaches himself from his jar
either to I'LL 1t or to transfer its con-
tents to that of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain
so that the jar comes under one Of
the jets Of water, listens to the sound
Of the water in the jar. and his ear

STORES OBSERVING
NINE HOUR DAY

The various stores of the city where
lady clerks are employed have COM
menced to observe the nine-hour day
for women.
On Saturday last the lady clerks Of
the Brown-Hart store did not COM
mence upon their duties before noon,
SO that they could work until closing
time at o'clock.
In the smaller towns this law is
not so essential, but gives the women
a chance to rest longer and recuper-
ate from the work of day. Stores
will eventually remain open but nine
hours per day, and purchasers Of
goods can become accustomed to the
change as easily as they did the
change from closing at o'clock on
week days to o'clock.

he was one Of the incest fellows in the
