|l LOAFERS' PARADISE
Life of the Happy-go-lucky West
Indian Negroes.
LAZY JOY FOR LITTLE WORK.
Six Month*' Labor Enables Them to
Loll In Indolence For a Year and a
Half ? Combing the Islands For Men
For tho Sugar Plantations.
A happy-go-lucky, stand up and fall
down, genial. Inconsequential spirit an
imates the West Indian negroes In
their labors and In their begging.
From the sweating tollers on the dock
at Macorls loiullng sugar Into the
steamers, with ihelr warning cry,
??Bee-low!" to the men In the hold, to
the grinning boys hauling their fishing
boats tip on the beach at Dominica,
they live from day to day and take no
thought of the morrow. A West Indian
negro with $">0 will live for a year and
never do a stroke of work.
And why not? Ills living costs him
only 9 cents a day. ne has his little
cabin for the occupancy. A mango
tree grows In his yard, and he can
pick plantains by tho road at will. If
he is too lazy to bake 5 cents will buy
bread for the family for the day. and
a few cents more will buy a dozen
small fish and one large one. A slnglo
garment does for the women, and $5
will clothe the man for a year, while
the pickaninnies run as God made
them.
The West Indies are the paradise of
the happy loafer. Every year the Is
lands arc combod from end to end for
hnnds to work tho great sugar planta
tions In Santo Domingo, and at that
the negroes must often be practically
kidnaped to get them on the boats.
In November of each year the sugar
boats, little sloops and schooners that
spend the remainder of the year trad
ing among the Islands get Into the
Santo Domingo negro trade. Their
captains and supercargoes, when they
have them, and the owners go up and
down the Islands telling the negroes
that on a certain day the vessel will
sail for Santo Domingo and take all
who want to go to work on the sugar
plantations.
Take the little Island of St. Martin's
for illustration. For a week the Island
Is combed, and on the appointed day a
dozen sloops and schooners are crowd
ed Into Mnrlgot bay. The night before
the negroes have begun to stream Into
the little town that sleeps through the
year, waiting for this one day to bring
it to life. Boards are laid across boxes,
and rum and whisky are set out to
arouse the negroes to the pitch that
will carry them out to the vessels
bound for the plantations.
All day the men stream Into the
town, traveling barefooted along tho
sandy roads, swept In by the sailors,
singing their song of riches to be had
for the asking. Ahead of the men walk
their women, toting heavy boxes on
their heads, while the men are dressed
In their best, with a cocky straw hat
perched on one ear. swinging a dandy
cane and carrying their shoes In their
hands. At the outskirts of the town
they put on their shoes and swing
gayly up to the open air bars on the
beach.
The women lug the big boxes down
to the beach and wall at being left
alone until they, too, become filled
with the excitement of the scene and
urge their men folks on. The men
bang back and laugh and drink and
deny that they are going.
"Is you goln'. Big Tawm?"
"Naw, Ah aln' goln". Ah jus' come
tuh see."
"Yas. yo' Is goin". Big Tawm. Git In
dat boat."
"Come on heah. boy. Ya. ha!"
And all the time the rowboats, load
ed to the gunwales, are plying back
and forth betweeu the shore and the
sloops. By sundown the beach Is swept
clean and six little sloops and a schoon
er make sail and drift out of the har
bor on a dyiug breeze, loaded down
with a thousand black men and wo
men. who* will wake lu the morning
with a raging thirst. Then woe be to
the captain who has not filled bis wa
ter casks, for there Is sure to be at
least one body to be given to the sharks
after the flght around the butts!
When the vessels drop anchor off
Macorls the plantation foremen come
off and look over the cargoes and pay
the shipmasters $2.50 each for passage
money for tho negroes. Then tho
blacks are herded ashore and are cred
ited with 30 cents a day for a month
for worklug from suurise to sunset In
the cane fields. By that Mmc tho $2.50
passage money is paid back. Then
they receive their 30 cents a day In
cash for the next six months until
the cutting and grinding season is
over, when the sloops show up again
and take them to their homes for $2.50
each, paid in advance.
The foreman collect from the pianta
1 tlon owners 03 cents a day each for
pay for the black hands, but with their
nhare of the money the negroes can
live for a year aud a half before they
have to think of doing another day's
work. Aud they do it. Year after
vear the trade is piled, and tho Islands
4tv combed for men for the planta
tions. and year after year the uegroes
return home to eighteen months of lazy
Joy.? New York Tribune.

PROMPT TO ACT.
A Man Who Seemed Always to Be
Ready For Emergencies.
To bo ready for emergencies was one
of the gifts of Dr. Samuel Grldley
Howe, the great teacher of the blind,
writes his daughter, Mrs. Laura E.
Richards, who has edited his "Letters
and Journals." She gives several In
stances In which his quick action pre
vented serious accidents.
Once at (Jreen Peace my father was
going to drive wllh my mother and my
sister Florence In a closed carriage
with a large window In front.
A a the driver was mounting the bos
he dropped his whip and got down to
recover It. This Rtartled the young
horses, and they bolted down the
driveway.
My father tried to open the big win
dow, but It stuck fast. lie flashed
through the plate glass as If It lmd
been paper and. catching up the reins,
stopped the runaways In less time than
It takes to tell It.
When Thomas came running up,
white and breathless, he found "doc
tor" quietly shaking the bits of glass
from his coat and hat and explaining
to my terrified mother that he "went
so quick there was no time to get cut."
Still another memory of my mother's
shows his quickness In a different
way. Fie was walking along Washing
ton street one day when a furious dog
rushed at him and bit his band severe
ly.
There was no Pasteur Institute In (
the forties. My father Instantly raised i
up the skin and flesh of the bitten part
and, holding It firmly, entered the
nearest apothecary's shop.
"Cut this piece off." be said briefly.
The apothecary exclaimed in horror. J
lie could not. he would not. without a I
surgeon's order. It was out of the
question.
"I am a surgeon." said my father,
"and I command you to cut It off."
It was cut off. My father dressed
the wound with his other hand and
went about his business.
Made Him Sick.
A noted golfer one afternoon played
rather liadl.v. Fie turned to bis caddlc
after be had foozled a drive and said
In his genial way:
"This Isn't n pleasant spectacle for
you. I'm as bad as a Scotch laird at
St. Andrews. The St. Audrews cad
dies are all old men. and one day when
this laird was lu especially bad fortn
his caddie, after ulne holes of missed
shots and putts, shook his gray old
head, surrendered the laird's bag of
clubs to another caddie and said:
"'Ye'll no mind, laird? 1 made but
a poor breakfast this uiornln', and I'm
no in a condition to stand any mair
o't' "
The Navel Orange.
The first we know of the navel
orange, which Is very valuable not
only on account of Its due quality and
taste, but also because of Its bciug
seedless, is of a single tree that was
found growing on the northern shore
of the Mediterranean sea. This wa9
about the year 15G5. Grafts of this
tree were taken to Spain by the Moors
several buudred years ago, and from
Spain the trees were carried to South
America by the Spaniards.? St. Nlcho

I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bud off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy palrus through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. Tho unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
