Good food and plenty was procur-

If you had the money to pay for it, an
excellent meal could always be had. In
the homes, however, where / lived or

scarce. / had it only once.
The city had every appearance Of
thriving activity. The streets were
crowded day and night with busy
people. There were no idlers; every
body was going somewhere and had
something to do. Clothing was varie-
gated in the extreme. A woman dress
ed in complete Western European style
would be followed by another woman
barefoot and bare-legged. One man
would be array"d in a familiar busi-
ness suit, the next in peasant smock
and trousers. There were few rags.
Beggars appeared here and there, es-
pccially by the churches, but they
were hardly noticeable after the
beggars of Berlin and Vienna.

markable. l saw no intoXication, no
disorder and policemen were so scarce

Our western men had for several
years BEEN cross breeding. trying to
get a sheep that would have the best
characteristics of both the Merfna and

no real results obtained. In fact the
results had been that the herds con

true RambouIlet type through every

Some sheep carried n fleece that in

wool. both as to length OF staple and
