Sur les hautes terres mexicaines, avec un aperçu de Cuba. Un cochon d'ofrost de banquet royal. Ainsi, la femme de ménage choisit un dîner en direct et coulant, le lie ensemble par ses quatre jambes et avec un cordon qui coulait sur son épaule, la voiture lui fait maison, et la vociferente sous le herarm.

On the Mexican highlands, with a passing glimpse of Cuba . a royal banquet ofroast pig. So the housewife selects a live andsquealing dinner, ties him together by his fourlegs and with a cord slung across her shoulder, car-ries him home, lustily vociferating beneath herarm. I saw few pigs In Mexico, only an occa-sional hog or shoat, lean and wild, scamperingalong the wayside In Mlchoacan; but here, in Cuba, the pig Is el gran Sehor, The crowds gathering In these markets werein strong contrast to those of Mexico. Here, werenone of the warm brown Indian tints, but Insteadthe yellow mulatto and the very dark Spaniard ornegro. The curious thing about these Cubancrowds is that the Spanish mulatto. Instead of car-rying the white mans color with the negros fea-tures, bears, on the contrary, the white mans fea-tures with the darker color of his African blood, and hence, the Impression created by a Cuban crowdIs rather that of men having Caucasian featuresshaded In color from the paler to the darker hues.It is also said, that many of the darker faces 226.

Men of all shades mingle andmix in social functions, for who can tejl whetherthe dark face is shaded by the infused blood of thelowly negro or the haughty Moor? In the late afternoon I took my way downalong the Prado, and, stopping before No. ^^, touched an electric bell. The door opened and Ientered a spacious patio; on one side stood a mod-ern automobile, —on the other, pots of floweringplants, and I entered a large and airy drawingroom. I might have been in my own country, for itbore the marks of moder
