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 Telegram. “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. —New York Tribune. Ji- Ofdtaary’B Adrorti—unto. ✓'ORDINARY’S OFFICE, LJ Bfalmmo County, Ga. Martha J.
