A map of Itlo. printed In 1 SOS, of

a maze of narrow, uneven streets nnd
narrower alleys. They were lighted
at night by tallow lanterns bung-out
by public-spirited citizens. It was

and nlnleen public squares. The king
made a royal palace of Ihe handsome
building, now the Nnllonal Telegraph

8treet Scenes in Rio.
The t)ies on Illo's streets are ever
fascinating. On Ihe level wnys, min
gling with countless head hearers, are
carters trudging beside their mule
teams, men trundling hand trucks, nnd
enke sellers with wares In boxes on
wheels. These last named are popu
lar, as the Itrnzlllans are very fond
of sweets. A unique sight Is a cart
with two huge wheels, carrying gran
ite blocks or great logs suspended by
halns from the axle. The vegetable
and chicken sellers of Itlo carry their
wares In groups of bankets Imaging
from the ends of a pole slung across
their shoulders. This Is prolmhly a
survival among those cu!oma which
reached Portugal through her Far
Knstern colonies.
