Thenative labourer wears ouly cottom or hnen trousers and shirts, and generally no shoes, but the girls are rether fond of finery. The ordinary dress is the pollera, made without sleeves, and low in frout, with lsce ‘trimming on the bust. They invest all their savings in jewelâ€" lery, such as charms and ornamental bairâ€" tombs, to be worn on gala days, and then pawned when they are in peeuniary trouble. Mourning is very popular, though black dErc«ses are, of all garments, the most unâ€" tu‘table for a bot elimate. There is almost no recreation except cockâ€"fighting and bullâ€" teasing. . This is not bullâ€"fighting, for the wretched animal is only let loose in the sireet, or led by a cord, and teased by its drivers, though it rarely does any harm, beâ€" ing well held in check by the tormentors.

But the best Stiltons do not require this, for they areÂ¥n perfection when the mside is soft and rich, like butter, without any appearance of mouldiness. In France, when a Stilton has become very dry,deaters wash it several times in soft water, and then iny it in a cloth moistened with wine or vinegar till it becomes soft and mellow, which it will inevitably do if it be a zich eheese. This simple method is generally practised in Switzerland, where cheeses aro kept stored for many ysars, and if they wers not salt and dry they would soon be the prey of worms and mites. It is then put into a shape in the form of a eylinder, eight or nine inches in diameter. When it is sufficiently firm a cloth or tape is wou id round it to prevent its breaking, and it is set on a shelf, It is occasionally powdered with flour, and plunged into hot water.

The Central American Spaviard of toâ€"day has little of the spirit of the conquisador in him.

Sherman, whose daughter the Kheâ€" dive presenied with costly diamonds in retu‘n) to Egypt between 1869 and 1875, where "the richest prinee in the world," as the Khedive was believed to be, rescived them with open arms. Not only were they given prominent positions, but the most influential of them were furnished with private residences and retinues of fellah servants. They overcame many obstacles and built up an army that was a credit to Egypt, though a costly one.
