You have not heard iroui bit for some
time and I w ill write you a lotteron"How
the Natives live."
Kv "native" I mean the poor class. On
the opposite side of the road from where
we livo is a large tract of land that is noi
iarmotl by the owner and on which many
of this class have their homes. When a
couple of this class get married the first
thing necessary Is to provide a home for
house-keeping, si all people recognize the
necessity of having a "home." There are
several stylus of houses 'o be consid- red,
according to the means of the parties;
thore is first the home with ouly the ga
ble part, set on the ground, with aground
floor ; then the one story of about five r
six feet, likewise built with a ground
lloor: then the ou ttory with a floor.
These houses vary iu size from 8x10 to
10x15, partitioned into two parts, one for
a sleeping room and the other for a liv
ing room. Having decided on the style
of a house, the next thing is to get the
material gathered tog ther for it. This
consists ot poles for the sides and roof,
aud tho proper grass for thatching, which
is a long, wild grass which iscut and dried
and tied up into little l.uiidlesaboutlhree
Inches thick; also a supply of native
nails, being composed of a vine that is
very tough. They commence by setting
up poles foi the sides and binding them
to tho rafter bearer with thongs made
of the vines; the rafters are fastened ou
in like manner and then light poles run
around these at equal distances apart to
bind the thatching to. If the house Is to
have a floor, then the joist are bound to
the sides in like manner and tho pole
joist is laid ou lop of these. The house
Is either sided up with palm bark bound
on or put on like basket work, many of
them ouly having three sides enclosed.
The partition is made in the same manner
and a door out of palm baik, Lung with
vine hinges. The roof, made without
gables and quite steep, is then thatched,
and the house is then yeady 1'or furnish
ing. For beds are used hammocks made
from old canvass, low beds are mado by
binding polos togettier and tacking can
vas ou to the side poles, aud some are
made like a saw buck, with pieces run
across the tops ou which is tacked the
canvass: this is called a folding bed, as it
cm be folded together, being fastened at
the crutches with bolts, and therefore is
much used it the pai ties are able to buy
the wood and bolts but ldoin Con mi iu
tho natives cabin for this reason. They
generally have one short wooden bench
for company, bedding they do not need,
and they dispense with the tables. The
cooking outfit consists of one iron pot .iu
which everything is cooked, Gipsy fash
ion ; the dishware is made from the cali
bash nut, aud tho tree must have been
placed ou earth for that purpose, as it is
good for nothing else ; the nuts grow to
quite largo size and are pulled off when
they reach he proper size for the vessel
wanted; the shell being veiy hard when
seasoned, they make very -convenient
vessels of all kinds. A pro, er supply of
these consists of oue for each person to
eat their food from, and one or two to be
used in lifting it from the pot. You will
notice from thisthu'. they can build their
house and furnish it without having to
buy a single article as they can go back
into the swamps and cut their polos and
grass without paying anything for them,
honce, all they are out is thir labor, and
as they can thatch tl o house and do the
balance at their leisure they would not
need to lose much time from their em
ployment if they had any. As for marry
ing, undei Spanish rule that was too ex
pensive, hence, they just went on without
that formality, and as a r as I know are
doing the same yet. For food they use
bread, sweet potatoes and yams, rice and
codfish, principally sweet potatoes and
yams, as they aro very cheap. These
thny boil in their pot and dish each one
out bis share in one of thecalibasli dishes,
and they sit down on tho ground, or a
seat, if fortunate enough to have one, and
eat their mcul.
As to how many of them live or get
enough to livo on, I am at loss to know ;
aomo manage to plant a small patch of
sweet potatoes; other more fortunate ones
manage to get four or five chiekeus, aud
can live on thesaleoftheeggs,nggs bring
as a rule four centavos a piece. I have
seen them take one egg to the store and
get four different Items. The hens lay in
tho house, aud are taken iu the house at
night, or otherwise they wou d be stolen.
I might here say that all animals except
the cow is taken in the house at night,
and many kept in during the day ; goats,
pigs, chickens, all but the dog, he has to
hustle for something to eat at night. You
probably will ask "do they scrub?'1 I
must say I think not. I have visited
their cabins viv ol'ien and have nover
seen any sign that would show any indi
catation of water being used ou the floor,
whore they hud a wood floor.and of course
they could not scrub those that have only
the ground for a floor. There are people
in the State who attribute sickness very
often to dirt. 'I here may be sickness hid
away in some kinds of dirt ready to
pounce on a person when thoy are not
looking, and eat them up; but not in the
dirt around the cabins here.orthey would
be depopulated.
The weather hers is delightful uow,and
has l en since we came, aud our flowers
are blooming all the time.
Very truly yours,
Chas. S. I.hki h.
