tended by thousands. Inside the tenn
pie different families had set up their
little shrines and the people sat
around and peeled apples and
crunched them or smoked and Cos
siped, while others beat on the fish
mouth wooden gongs and conducted
the ceremonies. Coppers rained into
the big bins in front of the idols and
hundreds of candle prayers wavered
and fiickered in the mass movement
of religious riot. When the candle
was two-thirds burned 1t gave way to
another, for wax is valuable and can
be resold, and half a prayer must not
occupy the place that might be given
TO a whole one.
Some people were evidently in a
prayerful mood, but squawkers and
rubber apples on real branches will
typify the shrine to me. That and

the Uruguayan lands are more broken

the guachos or cowboys are part Own-
ers of the herds, serving only In sub

and all would be selected by congress-
whose powers would be greatly cur
tailed under the proposed rule.
Its Climate and People.
Gifted with the nearest to an ideal
climate to be found in the western
world, Uruguay has done much to de-
velop its natural resources and to-
make life congenial for it's people. The
average temperature for the summer
is only ~ degrees and for winter is
55 degrees. AS a result of the highly
favorable climate the physical char
acteristics of the Uruguayan people
are remarkable; They are taller, finer
set-up and have clearer compilations
than any of the other South American
peoples. There is less of the Indian
in them, too, than in any of the other
dwellers on fhe southern continent.
The country has fairly complete sys-
tenn Of railroads, three of which are
guaranteed by the government-that is,
a certain net income is assured to
them each year. The country is going
in for good roads very rapidly and
macadamized roads extend for about
forty miles outside of Montevideo, the
capital and chief city.
As Uruguay has made efforts TO at
tract a substantial type of immigra-
ton, the population is of diverse ORR
gin. AT present the Spanish and ltal-
ians predominant, Spanish being the
language OF the country. There are
several Swiss and German colonies,
however. The immigrants are closely
scanned, for the country wants none
that will swell its low rate of pauper-
ism. At one time the Uruguayan gov
eminent offered TO immigrants not
only free land, but the means TO pur-
chase the needed farm stock and Inn
plements. However, the increase in
population has been so marked of late
years that no extra Inducements are
now offered TO new settlers.

progress in some of the South Amer
lean countries, a progress with which
few jewellers in North America are ac-
Quainted. Uruguay, the least of the
Independent South American nations,
is in some respects the most advanced
country on either of the western con-
tinentS.
The lowest percentage of poverty in
either of the Americas belongs to Uru-
guay's distinctions. The nearest ap-
proach to universal eight-hour day

American continents also is to be found
in Uruguay. The charities of the cOun-

Uruguay is tired of political parties;
that is why it yearns for commission
rule. 1t now has a president and
two-house congress. The representa-
tives are chosen by direct vote every
four years, the senators by electoral
vote. The two houses of the congress
elect the president, who serves four
years. A permanent committee COM
posed of tive senators and five repre-
sentatives takes the place of congress
during recess and assists and advises
the president on legislative matters.
In this respect, at least, the Uruguayan
congress is on the job more than that
of the United States. Under Uru-
guay's proposed commission plan both
the advisory committee and the presi-
dent would be dropped and commits

them being constantly on the job. Each
