( Copyright , 1899 , by Frank O. Carpenter. )
ASUNCION , Dec. 28 , 1898. ( Special Cor
respondence of The IJeo. ) Paraguay Is the
paradise of South America. Its climate Is
delightful , Us scml-troplcal vegetation as
luxuriant ns that of the Garden of Eden ,
nnd It has about three Eves to every Adam ,
I have never been In n country where there
nro so many women. They swarm. They
trot by the scores through the streets of
the cities. They walk by you and with you
ou the highways and byways and they are
eo many that you find It hard to get out of
their sight.
The women of Paraguay are so much in
the majority that they do the work of the
country. They nro the buyers nnd sellers
ot every community , and outside the cities
the men am the drones. Any bachelor in
the United States can find a wife In Para
guay If howants ono , for the men are now
BO few that any two-legged animal without
leathern of the masculine gender will hero
lie grccdly ) grabbed. Tha sexes wore once
about equally divided , but I'araguay had a
war -which killed off the men. It was Just
ibcforo the close of our trouble between the
north and the south. At that tlmo Para
guay was the lending country of this part
of the world. It was about the richest ot
nil South America , and Its wealth and in
fluence angered the Argentine , Uruguay ami
llrnzll. They combined against It and their
Joint army attacked the Paraguayans , The
struggle lasted five years , but it ended In
the wiping out , as it were , of the Para
guayan men , It is said that 100,000 ot them
died In battle and that thousands ot women
nnd children -were starved to death.
It Is hard to got accurate figures In any
South American country , but , according to
tha host estimates , the population of Para
guay wua out down by this war so that there
T.-US only one man to six women , while an
other statistician gives It that three-fourths
of all Uio pcoplo la Paraguay , numbering
about 800,000 , were destroyed. When the
war cndod there w.oro only 200,000 left , of
whom about ) 20,000 were men and 106,000
rworo women over 15 years of ago. The , rest
were children. Paraguay thus became a
laud of women , and nature seems to be
Keeping It so. Since tho-war I am told that
juoro girls have been 'born every year than
lioys. lit Asuncion the girl births exceed
the boy Tilrtha by more than five to the hun
dred , ami ouUldo the city 'tho ' percentage ot
girl babies Is greater.
Tliv Women iif Hie IIlKhrr Cluii ,
The most of thu women of Paraguay * ro
poor. Many of thorn are hewers of wood
aud d run era ot water , 'but ' there are some
who are rich. There are class distinctions
licro on everywhere , and the people of the
liotier classva dress anil act much the. some
ns thoeo of other parts of the continent ,
( Paraguayan hlKli-class women wear clothes
siot unlike thodo of our American filrls.
They wear bonnets or bats -when out on the
Btreets and a few of them actually lmpor |

Ish when In society at least , when on dress
parade and some are so well educated that
.hey are able to read both Cngllsh and
French. Such women are usually Interested
n politics and , through 'their husbands , uavu
much influence upon what is done by the
government. They are good housekeepers ,
excellent wives and arc , I may say , the
equals of their sisters of any part of this
continent.
Many of the Paraguayan women nro very
good looking. This Is so of all classes , and
especially so of the young. A Paraguayan
maiden Is a trlfio under middle height. She
s as straight as an arrow and as limber as
a willow tree branch , though inclined to bo
voluptuous In form. Her complexion Is of
the Jersey cream order and often of the
reddish brown ot the GunranI Indians. She
las , as a rule , more or less Indian blood In
: icr veins. When the Spaniards came hero
this country was Inhabited by the gentle
and semi-clvlllzcd Ouaranls , The two races
ntermarrled. Tholr descendants took wives
from tbo same tribes , so that today there
are comparatively few Paraguayans who
tiavo not a largo proportion of 'Guaranl
blood. The Indian mixture bos resulted In
tbo adoption of many Indian customs and
: lie language most spoken by the people to
day is the Guaranl. In the country districts
little else Is used and in the schools of
Asuncion there are notices on the walls that
scholars must not speak Guaranl during
school hours. The Guaranl is a soft
language and the Paraguayan girls have
sweet voices. Indeed , their tones fall softly
on my cars after the parrot-llko accent
which has sawed my tympanum during my
association with their Argentine sisters.
One of the chief Industries of the Para
guayan women is lace making. It is true
that the lower classes do all kinds of work ,
hut all the women make beautiful lace.
They spin webs OB delicately as though they
were spiders and every IIOUEO Is full of
beautiful cobwebs made by Us women ,
They make lace handkerchiefs , fichus nnd
ombroHcrlos and weave great hammocks ot
thread eo fine and so strong that they will
outlast a generation. They have patterns
of tholr own1 which they have taken from
nature. Ono of the most beautiful Is called
tbo cobweb pattern , the threads ot which
are as delicately Joined aa though made by
one of the big spiders which live lioro in
tbo semi-tropics , Some of these handker
chiefs are ot silk , others of llncii and some
ot fiber grown In the country. It tattoo a
long time to weaVe them , but there are ro
many at work that they are wonderfully
cheap , so that an article upon which a
month or so has been epont can bo bought
for $5 nnd upwards of our money. A good
hammock will cost you $10 and a lace shawl
perhaps twice' that amount.
Paraguay Is a land of oranges. U Is per
haps the only place in the world whore the
orange grows wild , There are oianges In
every thicket and In almcst every forest.
The villages are built in orange groves , and
there are so many oranges that they often
rot on the ground , The fruit la delicious.
It U the best 1 uellovo of its kind In the
aorld , It Is eaten by everyone , nnd the
orange girls are among the picturesque
features of Paraguay , You meet women
peddling oranges at the stations. You find
them surrounded by piles of golden fruit In
every market and all along the Paraguay
river they are to bo seen carrying oraugcs
from the land to tbo boats , which are to
take them to the markets of the south. H
is nil muted that 60,000,000 oranges are thus

fruit Is ono of the great sights of the
voyage.
Aa wo came up to Asuncion we saw at
every town mountains of oranges on the
shores , with hundreds of Paraguay girls
kneeling before them amd putting them in
baskets , while other hundreds were carrying
them on to the steamers.
LiunilliiK' OraiiKon lit Villa I'llur.
The scene Is ono that you cannot have
outside this country. Stop with mo at Villa
Pllar and look at It. Villa Pllar has about
10,000 people. It Is n town on Iho cast bank
of the Paraguay river , a day or BO'S rldo
below Asuncion. As the steamer stops at
the landing -we notice that every garden
has Its orange tree and that such trees
shade the streets. Wo see ox carts coming
In from the orchards creaking under their
golden loads. Each cart holds about 5,000
oranges , piled loosely within it like so many
potatoes. The driver directs Ws oxen to the
piles of oranges on the "banks " , backs his
cart up to them , and dumps out the fruit
Just as our workmen dump dirt whoa re
pairing the roads. Oranges are Indeed worth
llttlo more than dirt here. That whole cart
full will sell for $5 , and wo can .buy all -wo
want for 2 couta.
And still every orange Is counted. Those
women on their knees are putting the fruit
Into ithe baskets. They count as they work
and a careful tally is kept.
The oranges are carried on board by
women , who balance their loads on their
heads and walk over n gangway to the
steamer. There are 100 women at this
work now nnd the ship Is already so loaded
with oranges that a wire netting has been
stretched around He outside Ilka a fence
and the fruit plied up within. The deck la
so filled with oranges , In fact , that the
sailors arc moving about on boards , which
have been nailed up above It.
Stop and take a look at the girls. They
nro passing to and from the bank over that
roadway of hoards COO feet long , which has
been built upon trestles out to the steamers.
Each has a round basket carefully poised on
her head and above these the golden oranges
rise ) . The girls are dressed In white gowns
nnd the breeze which sweeps up the river
wraps their thin skirts about their lithe
forms , An.d still they walk without touchIng -
Ing their burdens and the shaking of the
planks and the breeze from the river do
not disturb them.
As you look you cannot but ndmlro the
typical Paraguayan maiden. She is so well
formed and she walks like a goddess. Wh'en
young she Is as plump aa a partridge In
autumn and were it not for some of her
ways you might fall in Iqvo ,
To an American her Attractiveness is
spoiled by the use of tobacco , I have
thought until now thai , .there was no greater
beauty destroyer than the gum chewing of
the American girl , but the smoking of cigars ,
as it prevails among Paraguay -women , is
far worse. The Paraguay maiden smokes
llko a chimney. She begins to use tobacco
when she begins to wear dresses , and oven ,
before , for you may see naked girls of C , 8
and 10 with cigars In their mouths. I have
Been'scores of llttlo girls of 7 and 8 smoking
cigars almost aa big around as their wrists ,
and as to old women , It Is hard to find ono
out in tbo country who does not smoke
from morning till night. I epeak , of course ,
ot the women of the common people. Those
who are not Actually smoking tiavo clgorc
between tbclr tooth , which they chew with
out lighting for hours at a time. Many
make * their own cigars , and tobacco is so
cheap hero 'that ' you'can get a dozen fairly
good cigars for C cents and leaf tobacco la
told for A few cents a pound.

girls of Japan. They look mot unllho them.
The features of many Paraguayans arc holf-
Jnpaneec , and their luxuriant black hair Is
of ithe same character as that you see In
Japan. In the hack districts they have the
same delightful disregard for clothing. Very
young girls , as I have said , and often some
of the age of 14 , wear nothing whatever.
The Paraguayan women nro not afraid of
strangers. They are good-natured , and will
laugh end Joke for you. just as readily as tie
Yum Yuins off the east coast of Asia ,
The Japanese women are good business
women. This is also true of the Paraguay
ans. If you would see smart women trad
ers , come and Bpend an hour with mo in the
market of Asuncion.
It Is situated In the heart of the city. It
covers an entire square , and it looks morG
like a monastery than place for buying an'd
selling. Its roof extends out over cloisters
ten feet wide , and under it there Is a tier
of cells running about a hollow court and
forming the 'walls of the market house
proper.
The court , the cells and the cloisters are
filled with women. There are hundreds ot
them all In their hare feet and many of
them squatting on the bricks with their
wares before them. Others atand behind
butcher counters and others have little
tables covered with vegetables , laces , Jew
elry , clothing or shoes ,
Stop a bit and see how they sell. There
are no scales or measures. That vegetable
woman has a etock of green peas. She has
arranged them In piles , about a pint to the
pile , and sells by eye measure. That
butcher -woman 'behind her Is cutting off
meat in great strips. The customers Judge
what it Is worth by Ita size and all meat Ts
sold 'by the chunk.
Among : the Butcher Women.
But let us go further into the market
nnd take n look nt the butchers ! They
etand In stalls with pieces of beef on their
t counters and strips of beef hung upon hooks
at the back. The favorite cut is a strip , and
much of the .meat seems to have been cut
from the uulmnl In sheets so that the people
buy au it were by the yard. The usual
method is to tear or cut the meat from the
animal's sides and back in layers about half
an Inch thick , ono layer being cut off after
another until the lione Is reached. The
sleets are then hung up In the market and
sliced or chopped off as the customer de
sires. Each customer brings a cloth -with
her to wrap her purchase in , and she carries
her meat or vegetables home In a basket ,
1 > ox or pan -which she rests upon her bead.
No market woman ever furnishes paper or
string for her customers. The most com
mon market basket Is o dlshpan or tin
wash baaln , and this Is always carried upon
the head.
The head and not the arms is the place of
burden of the Paraguayan women. If wo
stand a moment at the corner of the market
wo can see all sorts of curious things com
ing and going on the heads of women.
There comes a girl now at u two-forty pace
with a demijohn on her crown and a load of
wood in her nrms , Her black face is
wrapped In a black shawl and her black
legs show out under her white skirt half way
below her knees.
There is another woman with a white
sheet around her head and shoulders. No
tice that platter filled with oranges and
vegetable * upon her head. There is a great
chunk of raw meat on its top. She walks
along without touching her burden and that
is the case with all the women about us.

sticks perfectly balanced on the top of her
cranium nnd with her hands at her sides.

it home.
Behind her comes a young mother with a
similar bundle and a baby in her arms.
Sec , she has stopped to make a purchase ot
that orange peddler over the way. Notice
how carefully she stoops down without bend
ing her back. There she has picked up a
half dozen oranges and stuck them In among
the firewood and is walking off without
trouble. But , wait , the woman of whom
she has bought is excited. She is calling
her bactt. The young mother returns , and ,
putting her hand away down insldo her
chemise , takes out a coin and gives It to
the peddler , who in turn , drops It In at the
neck of her dress. The bosoms of tbo
women are their pockets and before they
make change they often have to fish for some
tlmo for the coins ,
And so wo go In and out through the
crowd , Jostling and being Jostled by women
with bags of potatoes , baskets of corn , fire
wood and bottles on the tops of their heads.
Wo beg pardon at every step , for wo fear
that a pusll may throw a basket of eggs to
the ground or a chunk of raw , red meat ou
some woman's head may bo thrown off on
our clothes. There is no danger , however ,
for every woman can handle her burden on
her head quite as well as though she were
carrying it in her arms.
CoHtM Mltlc to I.lvf.
The market Is a good plnco to see how
little It costs for a poor Paraguay family to
live. Everything Is sold in small quantity
and it cannot cost much for the average
woman to keep houso. The clothes ot the
poor are exceedingly scanty. All the women
go barefooted and all go Bareheaded. It
does not cost much to dross them , and a full
suit can be bought for (2 in gold. Nearly
all wear shawls about their chocolate or
cream-colored faces. Same have the shawls
thrown back so that you can see that the
low-cut chemlEo , which reaches to their
foot , forms the rest of their clothing. The
shawls look like bed sheets , and I am told
that they are used as such In many cases at
night , so that a woman takes part of her
'bed for her clothes when she gors out to
walk.
The common people hero have Indeed but
few wants. They do not seem to care much
for money , and think ono who works like a
foreigner is very foolish Indeed ,
I ventnro that the average family of Para
guay does not spend as much In a year as
thn family of our average laboring class
spends a month. The houses outside the
cities , ofwhich I shall write more here
after , are huts of poles chinked with mud
und roofed with brown thatch. They have
dirt floors , and there are , as a rule , neither
fences nor gardens. The usual hut la not
more than fifteen feet square , but It often
has an open shed of the same size joined
to It. As it la warm , tbo shed Is frequently
the most comfortable part of the house.
There la little furniture. A hammock erse
so , one or two cot beds made of canvas
and stretchers , a table and a couple of
chairs form a good housekeeping outfit , Tb'o
cooking Is often done over an open fire
in the shed and ccok stovrs are not com
mon ,
Tbo chief meals are breakfast at 11 and
dinner at 6 , with a cup of mate or Para
guayan tea In the morning. The food is
chiefly puchero , a coup of boiled beef and
vegetables , and mandloca , a kind of a potato
tate like root , which U drlod and ground
Into a flour. The soup Is often eaten flrst
nnd the 'boiled beef and vegetables brought
in as a second course. But little coffee or
tea Is drunk at meals and the only liquor
used by the common people U a villainous
rum made of sugar called cuuyc , .

At the recent annual dinner of the Hart
ford ( Conn. ) Yale Alumni association.
President Dwlght gave this explanation why
ho resigned : "I lay down my office not

In Just this regard : I bellevo life was made
Just as much for ono period ns another ,
childhood , prime and later life , and every
man should prepare himself for the late
afternoon hour , so that Hfo may grow hap
pier till the golden hour , late In the after
noon. I look forward to coming years of
greater happiness than I have over known. "
In one ot Dr. 1'usey'a letters , recently
published , the following story Is told : In
1881 , when Mr. Gladstone was prime minis
ter , he was spending a few days In Oxford
and ho call'ed to see Dr. Pusoy. The visit
was for many reasons an act ot the most
kindly consideration and It gnvo Dr. Pusey
the most genuine pleasure. "Only think , "
ho said playfully to ono of bis friends later
in the day , "of the prime minister being
kept waiting In my ball , while the servant
came to ask whether I would see him , "
Then ho went on to say how very kind he
thought it of Mr. Gladstone , with all lie
had to think about as prime minister , to
come and call on him , and ho added In a
tender tone : "He was BO affectionate ; when
ho went away ho kissed my hand and knelt
down and asked for my blessing. "
