The Queer Cus'oms of a Land Where Thare Are Hare Women Than Men.
(Copyright 1899, by Fran* O. Carpenter.)
ASUNCION, Dec. 28.— Araguay is the
paradiße of South America. Its cli
mate is delightful, its Bemi-tropical
vegetation as luxuriant as that of the
Garden of Eden, and it has about
three Eves to every Adam. 1 have |
never been In a country where there
m<> so many women. They swarm.
Tiny trot by the scores through th.-"
streets of the cities. They walk by
you and with you on the highways and
byways ai ■! they are so many that you
find it hard to get out of their sight.
PARAGUAYAN MEN KILLED OFF.
The women of Paraguay are so
much in the majority that they do the
work of the country. They are the
buyers and .-fliers of every community,
and outside the cities the men are the
drones. Any bachelor in the United
can Bnd a wife In Paraguay if
he wants one, for the men are now so
few thai any two-legged animal with-
OUt leathers of the masculine gender
will Ik re be greedily grabbed. The
Bexi s were once about equally divided,
but Paraguay had a war which killed
oft the men. It was just before the
ci> n, of our trouble between the
North anil the South. At that time
Paraguay was the lt-ading country of
this part of the world. It was about
the richest of all Smith America, and
its wealth and influence angered the
Argentine, Uruguay and Brazil. They
combined against it and their joint
army attacked the Paraguayans. The
Etruggle lasted live years, but it ended
In the wiping out. as it were, of the
Paraguayan men. It is said that one
hundri ii thousand of them died in bat
tle and that thousands of women and
children were starved to death.
!t is hard to get accurate figures in
any South American country, but, ac
cording to the best estimates, the popu
lation .-f Paraguay was cut down by
this war so that there was only one
man to six women, whiie another
statistician .uives it that three-fourths
of the people in Paraguay, numbering
about 800,000, were destroyed. When
the war ended there were only 200,000
lift, of whom about 25,000 were men
16,000 were women over fifteen
years of age. The rest were children.
lay thus became a land of wom
en, ami nature seems to be keeping it
80. Sine- the war 1 am told that more
girls nave been born every year than
boys. !n Asuncion the girl births ex
ceed the boy births by more than five
to t lie hundred, and outside the city
t!i. percentage of girl babies is great
er.
WOMEN OF HIGHER CLASS.
The most of the women of Paraguay
file 1 r. .Many of them are hewera
of wood and drawers of water; but
there are some who are rich. There
are (lass distinctions here as every
where, and the people of the better
classes dress and act much the same
as those of other parts of the conti
nent. Paraguayan high-class ladies
wear clothes not unlike those of our
American girls. They wear bonnets
or hats when out on the streets and a
f> W (.f them actually import their
dresses from Paris. They speak Span
ish when in society— at least, when on
dress parade — and some are so well
educated that they are able to read
both Knglish and French. Such women
an- usually interested in politics, and.
through their husbands, have much
influence upon what is done by tha
government They are good house
keepers, excellent wives and are, I may
say. the equals of their sisters of any
part of this continent.
HOW THEY LOOK.
Many of the Paraguayan women are
Very good looking. This is so of all
i ■!.;->!■<, and especially so of the young.
A Paraguayan maiden is a trifle under
middle height She is as straight as
an arrow and as limber as a willow I
tree branch, though inclined to ba vo- f
iuptuous i;i form. Her complexion is I
of the Jersey cream order, often of the !
reddish brown of the Guarani Indians. I
She has, as a rule, more or less Indian !
blood in her veins. When the Span- |
laids came here this country was in
habited by the gentle and semi-civil
ized Guaranis. The two races inter
married. Their descendants took wives
from the same tribes, so that today
there are cohparatively few Para
guayans who have not a large propor
tion of Guarani blood. The Indian
mixture has resulted In the adoption
of many Indian customs, and the lan
guage most spoken by the people to
day is the Guanari. 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 Guarani during school hours.
The Guarani is a soft language and I
the Paraguayan girls have sweet
voices. Indeed, their tones fall softly
on my ears after the parrot-like accent
which has sawed my tympanum duiing
my associations with their Argentine
Bisters.
PARAGUAY LACE.
One of the chief industries of the
Paraguayan women is lace making.
It is true that the lower classes do all
kinds of work, but all the women make
beautiful lace. They spin webs as del
icately as though they were spiders,
and every house is full of beautiful j
cobwebs made by its women. They
make lace handkerchiefs, fichus and
embroideries, and weave great ham
mocks of thread so fine and so strong
that tfiey will outlast a generation.
They have patterns of their own which
they have taken from nature. One of
the most beautiful is called the cobweb
pattern, the threads of which are
as delicately joined as though made
by one of the big spiders which live
here in the semi-tropics. Some of these
handkerchiefs are of silk, others of lin- j
en, and some of fiber grown in the !
country. It takes a long time to weave
them, but there are so many at work
that they are wonderfully cheap, so
that an article upon which a month or
so has been spent can be bought for $5 i
and upwards of our money. A good
hammock will cost you $10, "and a lace
ehawl perhaps twice that amount.
ORANGES AND ORANGE GIRLS.
Paraguay is a land of oranges. It is
perhaps the only place In the world
where the orange grows wild. There
are oranges in every thicket and in al
most every forest. The villages are
built in orange groves, and there are
so many oranges that they often rot
on the ground. The fruit is delicious
It is the best I believe of Its kind in
the world. It is eaten by every one
ana 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
fh C i° ? . Eee !l ca r ryin » oranges from
the land to the boats, which are to
take them to the markets of the south
It is estimated that 00,000,000 oranges
are tnus annually shipped down the I
Paraguay river to Buenos Ayres and
the loading of this fruit ig one of the
grc-at sights of the voyage.
As we came up to Asuncion we saw
at every town mountains of oranges
on the shores, with hundreds of Para- i
Buay girls kneeling before them and
putting them in baskets, while other
hundreds-were carrying them on to the
LOADING AT VILLA PILAR.
The scer.e is one that you cannot
have outside this country. Stop with
me at Villa Pilar and look at it. Villa
Pilar has about 10.000 DeoDle. It is a
town on the east bank of the Para
guay river, a day or so's ride below
Asuncion. As the steamer stops at the
landing we notide that every garden
has its orange tree, and that such
trees shade the streets. We 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 his oxen
to the piles of oranges on the banks,
backs his cart up to them and dumps
out the fruit just as workmen dump
dirt when repairing roads. Oranges
are indeed worth little more than dirt
here. That whole cartful will sell for
Jo, and we can buy all we want for
two cents.
And still every orange is counted.
Those women on their knees are put
ting the fruit into the 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 a gangway to the
steamer. There are a hundred women
at this work now, and the ship is al
ready so loaded with oranges that a
wire netting has been stretched around
its outside like a fence and the fruit
piled up within. The deck is so filled
with oranges, in fact, that the sailors
are moving about on boards, which
have been nailed above it.
Stop and take a look at the girls.
They are passing to and from the bank
over that roadway of boards 500 feet
long, which has been built upon tres
tles out to the steamer. Each has a
round basket carefully poised on her
head, and above these the golden
oranges rise. The girls are dressed in
white gowns, and the breeze which
sweeps up the river wraps their thin
skirts about their lithe forms. And
still they walk without touching their
burdens, and the shaking of the planks

and the breeze from the river do not
disturb them.
PRETTY GIRLS WHO SMOKE.
As you look you cannot help but ad
mire the typical Paraguayan maiden.
She is so well formed and she walks
like a goddess. When young she is as
plump as a partridge in autumn, and
| were it not for some of her ways you
i might fall in love.
To an American her attractiveness if
> spoiled by the use of tobacco. I have
I thought until now that there was no I
! greater beauty dostroyer than the !
| gum-chewing of the American girl, but j
the smoking of cigars, as it prevails I
among Paraguay women, is far worse, r
The Paraguay maiden smokes like a j
chimney. She begins to use tobacco j
when she begins to wear dresses, and j
even before, for you may see naked I
girls of six. eight and ten with cigars
in their mouths. I have seen scores
of little girls of seven and eight smok
ing cigars almost as big around as
their waists, and as to old women, it
Is hard to find one out in the country
who does not smoke from morning till
night. I speak, of course, of the women
of the common people. Those who are
not actually smoking have cigars be
| tween their teeth, which they chew
without lighting for hours at a time.
Many make their own cigars, and to
bacco Is so cheap here that you can
get a dozen fairly good cigars for five
cents and leaf tobacco is sold for a
few cents a pound.
THEY ARE BUSINESS WOMEN.
The Paraguay girls remind me of the
girls of Japan. They look not unlike
them. The features of many Para- |
guayans are half-Japanese, and their
luxuriant black hair is of the same
character as that you see in Japan. In
j the back districts they have the same
delightful disregard for clothing. Very
j young girls, as I have said, and often
some of the age of fourteen, wear noth
ing whatever. The Paraguayan wom
en are not afraid of strangers. They I
are good-natured, and will laugh and
Joke for you just as readily as the
Yum Yums off the east coast of Asia.
The Japanese women are good busi
ness women. This is also true of the
Paraguayans. If you would see smart
women traders, come and spend an
hour with me in the market of Asun
cion.
It is situated in the heart of the city.
It covers an entire square, and it looks
more like a monastery than a place for
buying and 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 hun
dreds of them all in their bare feet
and many of them squatting on the
bricks with thf-ir wares before them.
Others stand behind butcher counters
and others have little tables covered
with vegetables, laces, jewelry, cloth-
Ing or shoes.
Stop a bit and see how they soil.
There are no scales or measures. That
vegetable woman has a stock 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 i
strips. The customers judge what It Is I
worth by its size and all meat is sold '
by the chunk.
AMONG THE BUTCHER WOMEN.
But let us go further into the mar
ket and take a look at the butchers! |
They stand in stalls with pieces of j
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 animal in sheets so that the
people buy, as 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, one
layer being cut off after another until
the bone is reached. The sheets are
thei bung up in the market and sliced
or chopped off as the customer dcs res
kacn customer brings a cloth with her
to wrap her purchase in, and she car
ries her meat or vegetables home in a
casket, box or pan which she rests
upon her head. No market woman
ever furnishes paper or string for her
XHE ST. PAUL GLOB2J —SUNDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1839.
customers. The most common market
basket is a dish pan or tin wash basin,
and this is always carried upon the
head.
HEAVY THINGS ON HEADS.
The head and not the arms is the
t>lace of burden of the Paraguayan
women. If we stand a moment at the
corner of the market we can see all
sorts of curious things coming and go
ing on the heads of women. There
comes a girl now at a two-forty pace
with a demijohn on her crown, and a
load of wood in her arms. 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. Notice that platter filled
with oranges and vegetables 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.
Here comes a young girl with a
bundle of sticks perfectly balanced on
the top of her cranium and with her
hands at her sides. She has bought,
as much fire wood as you could hold
in your arms and she is carrying it
home.
Behind her comes a young mother
with a similar bundle and a baby in
her arms. See she has stopped to make
a purchase of that orange peddler over
the way. Notice how ■ carefully she
stoops down without bending her back.
There she has picked up a half dozen
oranges and stuck them in among the
lire wood and is walking off without
trouble. But. wait, the woman of
whom she has bought is excited. She
is calling her back. The young mother
teturns. and putting her hand away
down Inside 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 the women are
their pockets, and before they make
change they often have to fish for
S(,me time for the coins.
And so we 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. We beg
pardon at every step, for we fear that
a push may throw a basket of eggs
to the ground or a chunk of raw. red
meat on some woman's head may be
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 carry
ing it in her arms.
COSTS LITTLE TO LIVE.
The market is a good place to see
how little it costs for a poor Para
guay family to live. Everything Is sold
in small quantities, and it cannot cost
much for the average woman to keep
house. The clothes of the poor are
•exceedingly scanty. All the women go
barefooted an<l all go bareheaded. It
does not cost much to dress them, and
a full suit can be bought for $2 in gold
Nearly all wear shawls about their
chocolate or cream-colored faces. Some
have the shawls thrown back so that
you can see that the low-cut chemise
which reaches to their feet, 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 goes
out to walk.
HOUSEKEEPING IN PARAGUAY.
The common people here have Indeed
but few wants. They do not seem to
care much for money, and think one
who works like a foreigner is very
foolish indeed.
I venture that the average family of
Paraguay does not spend as much in
a year as the family of our average
laboring class spends a month. The
houses outside the cities, of which I
shall write more hereafter, are huts
of poles chinked with mud and roofed
with brown thatch. They have dirt
floors, and there are, as a rule, neither
fences nor gardens. The usual hut
is not more than fifteen feet square,
but it often has an open shed of the
same size joined to it. As it is warm,
the shed is frequently the most com
fortable part of the house.
There is little furniture. A ham
mock or so, one or two cot beds made
of canvas and stretchers, a table and
a couple of chairs form a good house
keeping outfit. The cooking is often
done over an open fire in the shed and
cook stoves are not common.
The chief meals are breakfast at 11
and dinner at 6, with a cup of mate
or Paraguayan tea in the morning.
The food is chiefly pnehero, a soup of
boiled beef and vegetables, and man
dioca. a kind of a potato-like root,
which is dried and ground into a flour.
The soup is often eaten first and 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 is a
vilalnous rum made of sugar called
canya. —Frank G. Carpenter.

Some of tho Member* of Hie Itamxey
U«-l«uation Are Afraid That the
Repeal Mt K ht React Disastrously
on Their Future Political For
tunes Thiril and Sixth Wards
Are Especially Sfimllive.
The bill Introduced In the senate by
Senator Ivea and passed by that body,
authorizing cities of fcO.ooo inhabitants
to transfer bridge funds to bridge re
pair funds, came before the house on
general orders Friday. Representative
Schurman, of Ramsey county, asked
that progress be reported on the bill
and it was so ordered.
The measure, while applying to all
cities in the state having 50,000 inhab
itants, has special reference to St. Paul,
as it will, if passed, allow the $69,000
now in the Broadway bridge fund to be
used for repairs to other bridges.
It was stated yesterday by those
who favor the widening of the Waba
sha street bridge and expect to get a
part of the Broadway bridge fund for
this purpose that the halt in the pass
age of the bill was due to the position
taken by Comptroller McCardy.
| The comptroller holds that, as a spe
j cial law was passed for the issuance of
bonds for the Broadway bridge and
the $69,000 now in the fund is a part
of the proceeds of the bonds sold, that
there should be a repealing clause in
the proposed bill.
A number of the Ramsey county i
delegation are opposed to the inser
tion of a repealing clause, for the rea
son that, should they vote for such a
step, it might blast their future po
litical aspirations. Especially is this
feared by both senators and represen
tatives from the wards where there is
a feeling that the construction of the
bridge would benefit the property in
the district.
Comptroller McCardy, however, has i
declared himself that he will not allow I
the. transfer of the fund, unless the j
repealing clause is placed in the pro
posed bill, and the delegation realize
that, unless the measure is so amend
ed, it would be useless to pass it In its
present form.
The stand taken by the comptrol'er
will probably result in the repealing
clause being added to the bill, although
the lawyers on the Ramsey county
delegation claim that the bill In its I
present form repeals, by implication, i
the special law.
Comptroller McCardy, however, will
not stand for the implication idea, and
insists that the repeal be in black and
white, or there will be no transfer.
