CANARY ISLAND TYPES.
L - ■ ■■
la Truth They Are Nut BMUrtifnl. the We
omm* Botas Maaeoltae.
Today tbe ornnmoo type of tbeCanartas.
of both men and women, consists of a tall
frame, an elongated head, a badly ebtaeled
now and mouth, a targe, heavy face and
bine eyss. This type is universal, but the
drees tn every Island to slightly different
OfraMtne tbe true Canary eostumes are
seen ow these peMSßta, for tbe higher
StaaMS are entirely f-panUh and European.
They have no native clothes, sueb as tbe
Philippian* have; tamos tbe material far
their etolhjpg is imported from Europe,
and the women make up tbe garments In
ttadr bousso. However, hats and shoes
•re made In the Canaries.
Strange So say, the men, women and
ohUdran m accustomed to walk barefoot
over tbe thorny planta, the plains filled
with spiny cacti and tbe burning rocks of
lava, which in a few hoars will barn and
wear out tbe stoutest shoes. Both men
and woman always wear their shoes in the
towns, but if you meet them on tbe road
the men are invariably - carrying their
shoes at the end of a stick, while the
women carry theirs on their heads.
Tbe women of Tenerife wear a skirt and
apron of cotton, a well fitting bodice, or
namented with large sleeves, and a fichu
which ends in pointe both front and be
hind. Tbe head is covered with the great
est care. A silk handkerchief is folded
•round the chin, and then a large woolen
shawl to wrapped around the entire head
•nd falls down below the waist behind.
Above this to placed a small straw bat
with a low crown, saucer shaped, on
which the bundle, jar or load of fagots to
placed.
Notwithstanding their feminine attire,
tbe women of Grand Canary are entirely
masculine in appearance. Their hair to
short, the mustache which ornamenta their
upper lip to luxuriant, they wear a man’s
hat, and they are p sionately devoted to
smoking cigars. The women of the Grand
Canary are not sirens according to Ameri
can ideas. Neither are they as polite as
they are generous, for, although they will
give a stranger a drink of water, when he
has lifted tbe jug to his mouth they will
often throw an unexpected shower over
his bead and shoulders as a practical joke.
In tbe Island of Palma tbe women go
about almost naked, yet occasionally they
dress with their beads and necks covered
with a kerchief and surmounted by a curi
ous hat.
Tbe woman’s costume in Lanzarote con
sists of a short striped cotton skirt, sleeves
to the elbow, a bodice laced in front and a
white eap folded around the head and
shoulders, surmounted by a straw hat of
ten trimmed with flowers. They make
ths men’s clothes, which are quite gay in
this Island, consisting of trousers to the
knee, tied with bright ribbons or garters,
a sleeveless jacket, a sash belting in the
shirt and a montera or cap, generally of
blue, embroidered with yellow, green or
red, and displaying a knot of ribbons at
the side. The Datives of Lanzarote are
content with very little. They drink wa
ter and live on goflo, the native barley
bread, dried fish, potatoes and Barbary
figs.
Many inhabitants of the Canaries still
live in grottoes. In the Grand Canary, for
example, there is an entire village of trog
lodytes— La Talaya. The ordinary house
to of stone, with a terraced roof rendered
impervious to water. The furniture to
very simple. A bed with its straw mat
tress to the chief object in the room, and
the rest consists of a chest to hold the
clothing, a mat on the floor, a jug for wa
ter, a dish for the grain, a little hand mill,
a kind of etagere to hold some highly
prized plates of porcelain ornamented with
gaudy flowers—for decoration and not use
—and a few wooden chairs.
At mealtime the entire family site on
the mat around a targe wooden bowl or ;
earthenware platter, and all dip thelnfin
gers and rude spoons and forks In at plea--
sure. The food is generally goflo, dried
fish, figs, etc., as in the other islands. In
the evening the women boil some herbs,
without any butter or grease, and this
bouillon to used to knead the bread, or
goflo, instead of water. They also eat in
large quantities a kind of thistle which
has flowers as large as artichokes. Water
to the universal beverage.—New York

“Blind Tom” as He Xs Today.
“The name Thomas Wiggins means
nothing to the m a jority of readers, ’ ’ writes
John J. a’ Becket in The Ladies* Home
Journal, “but Thomas Wiggins is ‘Blind
Tom,* a name familiar to hundreds of
thousands in this country and abroad
who have heard the piano played by this
wonderful negro. The Impression that he
is dead is a pretty general one. As a mat
ter of fact, Blind Tom has never been ill a
day in his life. On the banks of the
Shrewsbury river, In a domain of over 200
acres of woodland, stands a picturesque
story wooden house with a broad ver
anda. Here Blind Tom is at home.
“His hands are not at aH'piano hands.’
In place of the slender, long Angered
hands which one so often sees in great
pianists, Tom’s hands are small and
plump, with the thumbs and tapering fin
gers quite short.
“The strongest impression I bore away
was that of the sweet, contented life the
poor, blind negro is leading. There was
pathos in it. I had expected to find a won
der at the piano, and I did, for his un
taught mastery of the instrument is mar
velous. From tbe time when the Bethune
family loft the dinner table to see who
oould be playing on the piano and discov
ered the sightless pickaninny of 4 yean
perched on the stool, his little hands pluck
ing uncanny melody from the keyboard—
from that time until now he has had an
unwavering devotion to the instrument
whose music is his life.*’
Kx-MlnUter Denby.
TL Hon. Charles Denby, former United
States minister to China, who has just ar
rived in this country, returns to America
after the almost unprecedented record of
18 years’ continuous service as minister.
Colonel Denby was appointed by Presi
dent Cloveland May 25, 1885, his home al
that time being Evansville, Ind. It was
due to the objections of the Chinese gov
ernment to the appointment of Henry W.
Blair as minister that Denby has held his
office so long.
I’resident Harrison nominated Senator
Blair, but the New Hampshire man’s
speeches attacking the Chlneee led to his
recall before he had left San Francisco.
An effort was made to persuade Chiha to
withdraw its opposition, but this was In
effectual, and Minister Denby was permit
ted to remain during the Harrison admin
istration. President Cleveland retained
Mr. Denby, and President McKinley did
not disturb him until a few months ago,
when Charles Page Bryan was made min
ister, but was afterward transferred to
Brasil, Edwin H. Conger of lowa, then in
Brasil, succeeding to the Chinese mission.
