i- "1 1 ... "A "... r DAILY. ASTOfiJtAA, AdWidA, tiUMtf kOMLVO, fifiCtiJiflftl 1(1,' 1.85-L lAiii)iiiiiliiHtiii It An Interesting Story of the Natives, Their Habits and 'Mode of Living. South American Life as Witnessed by Ex-United States Minister Shaw, Now of Astoria. The Aatortan representative, on his rounds yesterday, dropped In on Mr. 'Straw, 'the ImmUgTLvnt Inspector, and found Mm nicely located In his new . Wee, placed at Wis disposal by Collect or of Customs Page. He found him in quite a reniiinlacenlt mood, and listened to the following Interesting: account of Pattaguiay, as ho saw it while United States consul at Asundion, the capital Regarding his presence hero, Inspector Shaw said ithlat as yet, he hid passed no imnvlg'iunU; stilll he hoped, and ea,-w no r.laison aflter the completion of the HAlliJdd, why there would not be a, good class of ImiMlg'Ha.nts from Europe to this pout. He went on to say that the hls.tory of Paraguay was one of the most In teresting of the South American repub lics, especially that period under the sway of Dicitiator Lopez, which, through his arrogant measures brought on a seven years' wair with Brazil, TJraguay and the Argwitline Republics, which al most resulted in a grand victory for the said Lopez. The population of Paraguay, In 1855, the first year of the war, was estimat ed to be about 1,000,000, and at the end of the seven years' war he had reJiced it to about 300,000, he consuming1 during that period nearly 1,300,000 souls, most ly men, so th'xt after peace was de clared, It was entirely a country of women; women a9 officials, women as pal lee, and women are soldliers. One would think that after going through suc-h a terrible period the people would he crushed In spirit and down-trodden, but it Is far from the truith. They are at the present time as they were before the war, just as arrogant and domineer ing. The population at the present day can be estimated at about 450,000, ex cluding about 40,000 Indiiainls In the Gran Chaco, the ratio of women being six to one man. The city of Asuncion, the capital, is situated on the loft bank of the Par aguay river, 1150 miles north of Buenos Ayres, ArsenBlne Republic, which Is lte ontlet to European and northern mar kets, and ISM miles soui'.h of Curumba, Bi'azil, on the same river. The city is built on a side hill, and it presents a very pre".ty view as seen on its approach from' the river front. The river at this point Is two and one- quamter miles wide, with a depth of twenty feet In the ohlannel. There are three lines of weekly steamers connect' lng Aauncdon with Rio Janeiro, Monte video, Uruguay, and Buenos Ayres, Ar gentine Republic, besides numerous freight steamers, also weekly, The trip up the river consumes tti best part of a. week, and Is full of In eoreating points and incidents. The scenery is very ordinary and monoto nous, not to be compared for one mo ment with the beautiful Columbia, o' Oregon. The Wanks are low and heavil; timbered, Which in turn are grown with a thick and riank growth of tropical weeda, plants, and creepers, thus mak ing travel through it Impossible. The river is full of fierce and ugly-looking Btlgaltors, Which, though harmless, in spire one with fear. They effort great sport and amusement to the tourist. One passes from time to time quaint towns hundreds of years old, which have not changed one iota In the last two hundred years. The people along the river are mostly employed In cat tle raising, rtmlber cutting, fruit cul ture, and cheese and butter making. Any street of Asuncion is a duplicate of all others. They Willi compare in Width with European or American streets of cities of the same size. The population Is a very mixed one of about 35,000. There is an excellent system of horse cars under the management of an Eng'lWh'mlan; also an etastric light plant, telephone and telegraph company. As uncion enjoys diireat telegraph communi cation with Buenos Ayres and Monte video, li.'iere are five dally newspapers and one eekly; also one Illustrated, such as it Is. At the present no banks are In operation, but one was under giong formation ft few months ago, supplied by local papilal; whether It will not go the way of Its predecessors remains to be seen. The city enjoys no eanlBary arrangements or water workB, the river and private cisterns supplying ell their wants. The streets (principal ones) are well lighted with eleatricity and oil lamps, and are also paved with stone from an adjoining quarry. The police system, so far as patrolling the streets day and night, is excellent, but the rest of the system is very rotten. The standing army In time of peace Is 700 to 300, and In time of war every man undir 65 years Is compelled to serve. The navy at one period con sisted of one wnall steam cruiser, light ly armored, but it has long since fallen Into decay. One large and well-equipped theatre affords amusement for all classes when times are good. Now and then a stray circus or strolling vaude ville troupe will make it a point of vantage for two or three dlays. Xsundon la very old. Here may be seen entire streets just as they were 209 years ago, when the few acres oall- ed Parasuay belonged to Spain, and thf ( Jesuits cultivated the land and civil ized the Indians. The brick and eutcco mud houses arF Jow, ugly and monot onous; although h recent years a few really gxxl residenc have replaced those Ural have fallen Into dpeay. Ped dlers of all kinds, claeees and conditions may be seen on the streoa at en it is cheaper to wear out tneir souls hours; one has beautiful hand-made trjd appropriate the money for their "Xandutuy" lace. Her rrvjther taught : own twnent. her the art, and she, the mother, learn- j financially, as I said, the country ed the pecret from her Indian mother . is bankrupt, no bafcks being In opera before h?r.

Three abreast and two In front of them, held In place wkth strings, ropes and chains. lie has been nowhere; he is going nowhere; but he urges on his tern with a mixture of Spanish end Guai'ani exhortations which are very amusing. A conglomer ation of women oonrtlnmailly pass with bottles of milk, baskets of fruit, and bags of charcoal pulsed on theli heads, who are In turn Jostled by trie news boy, who Is as energetic as his, Amer ican cousin. All funerals are by tram cars, as the stredta and roads In the suburbs to the cemeteries are In bad condition. Walk ing is uncomfortable if not painful, as the country Is very sandy, especially around Asuncion. Everybody goes, It only for the outing, and the ride. The women In trams to themselves. The poorer Classes oonduat theirs on foot, and are more interesting. If a young child, the open coffin Is balanced on the head of one of the women, and the lid on another, the people following. On the approach to tihe dhurch the bell la tolled, and the peddllers crowd the entrance, to sell their wares, one with chipa (a bread made of nmndloca flour, eggs, cheese, milk and grease), another with eana (a spirit distilled from the sugar cane), and still another With small sausages, nut candy, and many other delicate edl!bds. As the service pro gresses and the body Is lowered in its last resting place, the mourners, a class paid a few cents, set up their howl or ary, wMoh Is fiendish. No funeral Is a complete suaeess wtthonit this outland ish howl and noise. ASter this all re turn to the house of mourning, where they feast and drink all night. The Paraguayan women as a general ruie are very good figures, and as straight as an arrow, owing no doubt, to their custom of carrying everything poised on their heads, without the ne cessity of their hands to balance it. This is the only country In the world where this art Is practiced to perfeotlon. On the other hand, the men, with a little m, as this would Imply, are in significant, indolent, and extremely la iy. Being Inveterate smokers and gam blers, ifchey prefer to lay around the small "boltches" (drinking dens) smok ing and drinking cama all day and bait the night. It Is impossible to secure enough labor to harvest the small crops that are raised. One dlay you have twenty hands, and the next, two. Is it a wander the courtbry is depopulated and bankrupt? The rural Paraguayans at home pre sents a commendable example of hum ble conitentmenlt. He realizes that he is placed a he la by a power greater than he, and he does not care to take upon himself the (trouble to m-jddli with his condition. Hence his condi tion Is prlmaitive. His abode Is a thatched mud-covered house, generally located on the outskirts of the city. He will raise enough. "Mandloca," a root,' which resembles a parsnip hi shape, and the ohestnuit In flavor. It la to him a substltJte for the potato, and When well cooked Is delicious and very wholesome. His diet Is extremely sim ple, being mandloca, dried corn, or anges, and a little meat. In the inter ior, where the lnhaiblt&nts are more wiretidhed If possible, the children eat quantities of white clay, which does not seem to hurt, them, and In many cosas helps to All out the menu. The day begins at about 5 a. m. By Chat time the markets are In the hey day of their life. One sees everywhere women, a sea of women; women butch ers, and nothing Is wasted of the ani mal under consideration, from his horns to his hoofs. Women bijylng, women selling; a man looks out of place; in iiact, they are hard to find. The women keep up a constant chatter, if not with the customer, then with themselves. A good-natured "chaffing," interspersed with eil-.ng thtut would throw their American oouain3 In the shade. At 11 a. m. Is the breakfast hour, and the principal meal of the day Is par taken of. From 1 to 4 Is the "siesta' hour. -Every one seeks it and the for- aigner, after a few months' residence. looks forward to hts "siesta" with as mucih pleasure as the native Para guayan. After tne siea.a, mate is pass ed around, which is the main feature of life in South America. A little gourd is produced,genpeiaHy trimmed with sil ver, holding about a gill of waiter. Into the mtute cup, or gourd, Is first put about a tablespoonful of the mate, or tea, on Which Is poured boiling water. A silver tube, or "bambllJa," Is insert ed, and the tea sucked up through this. As It becomes empty It Is refilled with waiter, until It becomes quite weak, when it is again filled with the te.i, and 30 the process goes on, the cup being passed from one to the other hi turn, regardless of sex or age, until each ont Is satisfied which Is signified by saying Gnadas," (thanks.) A fuller account of the Yerba Mate, will appear in an other Issue. Paraguay exports tons of this yerba Mate, or tea, every year, to all parts of south America and tne West Indies. Very little or nothing is known at present of this tea In Europe or the United States. Among the ex. ports of Paraguay may be mentioned hidtee, woods, both dye and cabinet, to bacco, cattle, yerba mate, oranges and can a. The religlol is Catholic, but all others ere tolerated. The educational system of .the schools and colleges is very good, and extends all over the republic, the teachers being either English of Amer ican, the latter predominating. The country boasts of the first rail road in South America, and at the pres ent time the English company operate 180 miles, through the heart of Para guay. Nine-temnn or uie population arg located In the vicinity of the line. '.There ra four classes of oars, the last, or found), Ixiing nothing more or less than flat car Travel to cheap, but the lM not pay owing to hard times and lark of money. The puyio find walking cheaper. The poorer class wear neither shoes nor stockings, this luxury being in. dulged in only by the wealthier people. Nor do the army or police Indulge In this luxury, the government thinking years. There Is no direct communica Hon with the United States, and as ya; our merchants have figured very little In the commerce of Paraguay. Every thing is shipped by way of Europe. Then, again, the mercantile houses offer better Induoementis as regards time and the settlement of debts. European houses allow from 90 to ISO days' cred it, and the United States only 30 days, The United Stages at the present time furnish very little or no emlgiaitlon to South America, and from my stand point there Is very little to be made In those countries for some years to come. The climate Is healthy and similar to Australia. The flora and fungi is as in all tropical countries, beautiful, NoUning has been done in regard to the mineral resources of the country. On development it may prove to be very rich. Animals, reptiles and insects abound In- great numbers, especially In the "Gran Chaco," the eastern portion of the republic, which is Inhabited only by Indians, and of which little Is known or published. Birds of every descrip tion and variety of plumage abound In great flocks, especially the parrot and macoaw. Paraguay Is also the home of the monkey, the largest In the world being found here. Do not construe this to mean the baboon or orang-outang, but simply the ordinary, everyday monk. Before closing I might make mention Uhlat the women of the middle class all smoke cigars, which they roll them selves. They are twice the thickness of an ordinary cigar, and from 2 1-2 to 3 inches long. The tobticco is of ex cellent duality, and would be of a much finer grada, but they do not thoroughly understand the art of cul- Mvatlng and curing lit. Cigarette smok ing and chewing Is almost wholly un known, and no doubt It is a very good thing. The small boy, however, gets in his work on a big segar much earlier than the American. The women of the middle class to not confine themselves to the house as do the better class to indulge their vice, but may be seen on the streets or in the tram oars, puffing at their big segars, with as muoh "gurtto" as their liege lord and master. "ROCK ME TO SLEEP, MOTHER." The poem, "Rock Me to Steep, Math er," was written by' Elizabeth .Akers Allen, known otherwise as "Florence Percy." It Is a general favorite, for It Is a sweet little touch of home life. Buit there Isanother side to the picture. Many a mother rocks her child to sleep Who can neither rest nor sleep herself. She is always tlrd, has an everlasting backache, is low spirited, weary, ner vous, and all that. Thanks be, she can be ouired. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription will do the work. There Is nothing on earth like it for the "com plaints" to which the sex are liable. Onoa used, It Is always in favor. Dr. 'Pierce's Pellets are specific for biliousness, headaches, constipation, piles and all kindred ailmerits. THE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS LIFE. Mr. G. Calllouedte, Druggist, Beavere. vllle, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the phy sicians for miles around, but of no ' avail, and was given up and told could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery In my store I sent for a bot tle, end began to use it, and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about, ag'ain.
